complete verse (Ecclesiastes 12:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 12:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “Think of God before the cord breaks
    before the utensil breaks
    when the water pot has not broken
    and before the ritual container has fallen into the water hole.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Before the silver cord is torn,
    before the golden cup is broken,
    before the clay pitcher at the watering place is shattered,
    and before the rope at the watering place is broken,
    remember God!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore remember God while you have- not yet -died, while not yet the silver chain is-broken and the gold container is-broken, or while not yet the cord/rope of a small-jar that is used-to-get-water from the well is-broken, and the small-jar is shattered/smashed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
