Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 2:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “That woman will be following after he lovers and not get them.
    She shall search for those lovers and not see them.
    Then (she) will say,
    ‘I am going back to my husband from before,
    because I was in a better position then than I am in now.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “She will go in pursuit of her lovers, but she will not be able to catch up with them.
    She will search for them but will not find them.
    Then she will say, ‘I will go back to my former husband,
    for my former situation was better than my situation now.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
