Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 3:5:
- Kupsabiny: “There is a time/hour for gathering stones and one for scattering,
there is a chance/opportunity for embracing and one for not embracing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “There is a time to throw stones away, there is a time to gather them up.
There is a time to embrace, there is a time to be separate.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “there is a time to scatter rocks/stones and there is also a time to gather them,
there is a time to meet, and there is also a time to separate,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
