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

• Kupsabiny: “He should enjoy life with his wife who is his beloved in this meaningless life that God has given him in this world. Let him be happy over the things that are prepared for him in this world and what he has struggled for.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “In all the days of your meaningless life that God has given you in this world, enjoy life with the wife that you love. For in this life in this world, it is your lot to do hard work.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] be-happy with your (sing.) beloved wife in your (sing.) whole life that has no value, that was-given to you (sing.) by God here on earth. For that is for you (sing.), in your (sing.) hard-work here on earth.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Enjoy living with your wife whom you love, all during the time that God has given to you to be alive here on this earth. And even though it is difficult to understand why many things happen, enjoy doing the work that you do here on this earth.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
