Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 8:15:

• Kupsabiny: “So I am saying that it is good for a person to celebrate life and enjoy himself, since there is nothing good in this world except for a person to eat, drink wine and be happy! Then he shall rejoice over his life that God has blessed him with in this world with many hardships.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Since it is like that, I give the advice that enjoying pleasure is good, for there is nothing better in this world for people than to eat and drink and enjoy life. This will help them to be happy in the long hard work that God has given them in their lifespan in this world.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore as for me, (it is) better for a man to enjoy his life. There is nothing good for him here on earth but to eat, drink and enjoy while he works in/during his whole life that God has-given to him here on earth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “So I decided that I would recommend that people be happy while they are alive, because the best thing that people can do here on this earth is to eat and drink and be happy. Enjoying doing those things will help people while they do their work, all the time that God has given to them to remain alive here on the earth.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
