Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 8:10:
- Kupsabiny: “And again because they have sold themselves to other communities
I shall gather them and punish them.
Then they shall feel the heaviness
which that fierce king shall load on you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Although they have sold themselves to nations,
now I will gather them in one place.
Because a king who has great power gives them suffering and pain,
their strength is vanishing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But even-though she had-caused- herself -to-be-subject to these nations, I now will-gather her people and punish-(them). And their suffering will- now -start by oppressing them by one king and his officers.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But although they have agreed to pay money each year to the leaders of those countries,
I will soon gather them together to punish them.
The great King of Assyria will cause them to suffer greatly.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
