Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 9:10:

• Kupsabiny: “When a person still has the chance let him do what he is able to do with all his might because when a person has gone to the grave, there is nothing more that he can think of to do. Knowledge and wisdom have died/ended.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Whatever work you have in your hand, do it with all your might, for when you go to the world of the dead there will be neither any work to do nor plans to make, there will be neither insight nor wisdom.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Do whatever you (sing.) are-doing with your (sing.) capability, for there in the place of the dead-ones, where you (sing.) are-going, there is no work anymore. There is no planning there too, and there is also no wisdom or knowledge.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Whatever you are able to do, do it with all your energy, because some time you will die, and in the place of the dead where you are going, no one works or plans to do anything or knows anything or is wise.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
