complete verse (Hosea 9:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 9:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “The days in which you shall be punished are coming.
    Those are the days in which you shall get what you deserve.
    You people of Israel should know this word/matter.
    You think that a prophet is stupid.
    You say that I have lost my mind
    me who was filled with the Spirit.
    I am doing like this
    because your (plur.) sin is very great
    and you are amazingly rebellious.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The time of punishment has arrived, it has come.
    The time for them to pay for their sins has come,
    Israel will know it.
    By reason of your many sins
    and your great hostility,
    the prophets seem to you like fools and
    people who are full of the spirit like insane people.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘Those from-Israel, the time has- now -come that you (plur.) are to-be-punished, the time that you (plur.) will-be-revenged for what- you (plur.) -have-done. And you (plur.) will- surely -know that it has- already -come. You (plur.) say about me that, ‘That prophet is a fool! He that is-empowered by the spirit is a madman/[lit. bad head]!’ That is what you (plur.) are-saying to me because many are your (plur.) sins and you (plur.) are very angry with me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you,
    to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed.
    You people will soon know that.
    You have committed very many sins,
    and you very much hate Yahweh.
    You consider that the prophets are foolish,
    and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
