Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 10:8:

  • Kupsabiny: “You created me just/only with your hands.
    But then, why have you turned against me and destroyed me?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Your hands created me and shaped me.
    Now, with those same hands, will you destroy me? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘ ‘You (sing.) (were) the (one-who) formed and made me, and now you (sing.) will-destroy me?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “What there is to know about God is greater than the distance from earth to heaven;
    so there is no way that you can understand it all.
    It is greater than the distance from here to the place of the dead;
    so it is impossible for you to know it all.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
