Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 11:5:
- Kupsabiny: “Just like a person does not know the path of the wind or how a child is formed in the stomach of his mother, so he also does not know the works of God who created everything.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Just as you are not able to know where the wind goes
nor how a child is created in the womb of a mother,
in just the same way, the work of God’s hand, the creator of everything
you are not able to understand either.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “As you (sing.) do- not -know how the life of a child starts in the womb of his/her mother, you (sing.) will also not understand what God is-doing who does all things.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
