complete verse (Hosea 8:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 8:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “They make sacrifices to me
    and eat that meat of the sacrifices
    something that I am not happy about.
    So, I shall think about their sins and punish them
    and then I return them to a hardship like that of Egypt.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They offer sacrifices to me,
    and they eat that meat,
    but the LORD is not pleased with them.
    Now remembering their evil deeds,
    I will punish them for their sin.
    They will go back to the land of Egypt.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They offer to me and they eat the meat of the animal which they offer, but I (am) not pleased with them. And now I will-remember their wickedness; I will-punish them because of their sins. They will-return to Egipto.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They offer sacrifices to me,
    and they eat some of the meat of those sacrifices, which is what I permitted them to do.
    But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices.
    I remember the evil things that they have done,
    and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed:
    I will force them to go to other countries
    and become slaves like they were in Egypt.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
