Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 8:10:
- Kupsabiny: “I saw sinners being buried. These people are those who came to the House of God and went back and they were praised in the city where they did these bad things. It is very pointless.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then I have also seen evil people being buried. They were in the habit of coming and going into the holy place and were honored in the city for this. This is also meaningless.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “I also saw the wicked ones who were-buried. They were always entering before in the holy city of Jerusalem where they did wickedness. And in this place itself they are-praised by the people. This too has no value.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “I also saw that sometimes after evil people die, they are highly honored at their funerals by the people in the cities where they had done evil deeds. It seemed to be difficult to understand why that happens.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
