Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 2:26:

• Kupsabiny: “God gives people who please him knowledge, wisdom and joy. But he makes sinners walk around searching/begging for (things) and collecting things and then those things are handed over to one who pleases God. The searching/begging of sinners is useless because a person is chasing wind.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “If any man pleases God, He gives him wisdom, insight and pleasure. But as for sinners, having done hard work, having earned income, having gathered great wealth and property He will give it to anyone who pleases God. Since it is like that, this matter is also meaningless. This is also just like chasing the wind.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The truth-is, God gives wisdom, knowledge and joy to man who gives joy to him. But the sinners he causes-to-work-hard to gather wealth, so-that what they can gather he will-give to the people who give him joy. The hard-work of the sinners has no value also; as-if like they are only chasing the wind.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “God enables those who please him to be wise, to know many things, and to enjoy many things. But if sinful people work hard and become rich, God can take their money away from them and give it to those who please him. But that also is something that is difficult for me to understand. Their working hard seems useless, like chasing the wind.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
