complete verse (Ecclesiastes 5:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 5:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “When wealth increases the people who eat that wealth also increase. In what way do those things help/save the owner? He sees them with his eyes but what has he accomplished?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When wealth and property increase,
    then the mouths that eat also increase.
    Then, besides looking at his wealth and property
    the owner has no benefit.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If your (sing.) wealth increases, the one-who-consumes it also increases, and you (sing.) can- not -benefit from your (sing.) wealth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
