Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 4:4:

‘I am blaming you priests.
Do not let other people be blamed for no reason.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “No one is to accuse anyone else
and no one is to rebuke anyone else.
for your people are like those
who bring charges against a priest. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘But no one will- just-casually -accuse or will-shift-the-blame-on someone else, for you (plur.) priests are the-(ones-who) should be-accused.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

and say it is his fault.
It is you priests whom I am accusing.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
