Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 1:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “A person might say,
    ‘Look at this new thing.’
    But no, that thing has already happened before.
    It existed even before we appeared.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Is there any matter about which it can even be said,
    "Look and behold, this is a new work"?
    It has been here for a long time.
    It has existed long before our time.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Is there a thing that you (sing.) can-say that is new again? But that is already there in the time-past, even before we (incl.) were born.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Sometimes people say, ‘Look at this! This is something new !’
    But it has existed previously;
    it existed before we were born.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
