Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 8:14:

• Kupsabiny: “There is yet another pointless thing in this world. In some instances righteous people are punished for the sin of people who do sins, and sinners are blessed/rewarded for the things of people who are righteous. That matter is also pointless.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “There is another matter that is meaningless in the world. The punishment that ought to fall on the evil ones, falls on the righteous ones. and the wicked get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The only problem here on earth, sometimes the righteous people are the ones-who-receive the punishment that would have been for the wicked, and the wicked people are the ones-who-receive the reward that would have been for the righteous. I can-say that this also has no value.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Another thing that sometimes happens on this earth is that bad things happen to righteous people, and good things happen to evil people. It is difficult to understand why that happens.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
