Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 8:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “It was an Israelite who formed that thing in Samaria,
    that idol is not to be worshipped like God.
    That thing will be crushed completely.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They are Israelites.
    Craftsmen made this bull,
    it is not God.
    That bull calf of Samaria
    will be broken in pieces.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The little-god cow of Samaria was- just -made by a silversmith who came-from-Israel. That (is) not God! Very surely that will-be-smashed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

    but I am God and it is not.
    So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
