Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 10:10:
- Kupsabiny: “I will punish them on the day that I wish
and communities will gather against them.
They will fight them and tie them in chains
on account of their many sins.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “When it becomes my desire, I will punish them.
The nations will gather against them
to tie them up for their double sin.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “In/By my own-will I will-punish you (plur.). Nations will-unite to punish you (plur.) because of your (plur.) continuous sinning.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

Because of the many sins that they have committed,
the armies of other nations will gather to attack them,
and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
