Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 2:2:
- Kupsabiny: “Rebuke your mother and scold her,
because she is no longer my wife
and I am no longer her husband.
Rebuke her to abstain from adultery
and promiscuity.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “‘Oh my children, argue with your mother.
Yes indeed, now she is neither my wife
nor am I her husband.
She must remove the prostitution from her face
and the adultery from between her two breasts.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Children, [you (plur.)] rebuke your (plur.) mother even-though she (is) not my wife anymore, and I (am) not her husband anymore. [You (plur.)] rebuke her that she should stop now her committing-adultery-with-a-man.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
