complete verse (Ecclesiastes 6:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 6:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “God gives some people wealth, everything they need and honor/respect. But he does not give them opportunity to enjoy those things. Those people die and leave their things for other people to consume. That is also very much empty and this matter is not good.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “God has given some people wealth, property, fields, and honor, so that he would not lack anything he desires. But God did not allow him to enjoy them. Rather, they were given to another person to enjoy. This is also meaningless and is a terrible thing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “There are people that were-given by God all that they desire-for: honor, possessions and other wealth. But God did not allow them to benefit from it but-rather the other people. This has no value, and is not very good.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “God enables some people to get a lot of money and possessions and to be honored; they have everything that they want. But God sometimes does not allow them to continue to enjoy those things. Someone else gets them and enjoys them. That seems senseless and unfair.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
