Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 10:13:
- Kupsabiny: “But you planted evil
and harvested persecution.
You yourselves were stupid.
You trusted in your strength
and your soldiers.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “But you have planted the seeds of iniquity,
and harvested the fruit of injustice.
You have eaten the fruit of deception.
For you put your confidence in your power,
and because you have put your hope in your many soldiers,” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘But you (plur.) have-planted wickedness, so you (plur.) also harvested wickedness. You (plur.) lied, and that is the fruit of your (plur.) wickedness. And because you (plur.) have-trusted in your (plur.) ability, like for instance your (plur.) many soldiers,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them;
but what I consider that you have really done is that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things
and eaten the results of the lies that you have told.
Instead of trusting in me, you have depended on/trusted in your own power
and in your many soldiers.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
