Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 29:25:
- Kupsabiny: “I went ahead of them and everything stood on me (was under my control),
I led them by the hand like a ruler leads his soldiers
and I advised/comforted those whose life pained (them).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “I would show them the way and I continued to be their leader.
I would bring them along like a king brings his army to battle.
I would give consolation to those who were feeling broken-hearted.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I teach them what they will-do like a leader/[lit. head]. I govern-over them like a king who governs-over his soldiers. I comfort them when they are sad.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
