Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 2:12:
- Kupsabiny: “I shall destroy her vines and her fig trees
that she is saying that her lovers paid to her.
I shall make her farms become bush
which the wild animals shall eat.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees.
Things about which she said, these are the wages given by my lovers,
And I will make these trees into a forest,
and wild animals will eat them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-ruin her grape plants and fig trees which she said were-paid for her by her lovers/[lit. men]. I will-make its fields into a densely-over-grown-with-long-grass-and-shrubs forest, and its fruits will-be-eaten by wild animals.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
