Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 7:12:
- Kupsabiny: “Wisdom is a support
like how money saves people.
But what wisdom excels in is
that it completely steadies the life of the one who has it.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Just as money provides protection,
in the same way, wisdom also protects our lives.
This is the benefit to be had from wisdom.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “and it can-protect like money. So wisdom can- surely -help; it can-preserve the life of man who has it.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
