Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 14:19:
- Kupsabiny: “Rain washes small stones
and levels/smoothens the soil to go away completely
That is how you destroy the things one hopes for/relies on.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Like water erodes rock,
and like flood waters wash away the soil of the ground,
you destroy people’s hopes.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “and as a stone wears-away by the continuing flow of the water and land washes-away because of the heavy rain, you (sing.) destroy the hope(s) of man.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
