Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 10:15:
- Kupsabiny: “It will happen like that with you Bethel
because your sin has become great.
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be destroyed completely.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “O people of Bethel,
by reason of the evil work you have done, that same kind of trouble is about to come on you.
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be devastatingly destroyed.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “That is also what will-happen to you (plur.) who come-from-Betel because of your (plur.) great wickedness. While (it)-is-still dawning, very surely the king of Israel will-die.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You people of Bethel city, that is what will happen to you,
because you are very wicked.
And when the sun rises on that day,
the King of Israel will be killed in the battle.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
