complete verse (Hosea 10:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 10:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “They are proclaiming words that are not true,
    and they are not fulfilling what they have promised
    so quarrelling springs up in the land
    like a thistle that grows in the farm.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They make many promises,
    take false oaths and make agreements.
    So, like weeds full of poison sprouting in a ploughed field,
    there have been many unjust verdicts.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They just keep talking but they have-done nothing. They swear lies and make agreements which they do- not -follow. Therefore justice became like a poisonous grass which grows in the plowed ground.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Their many words have no use. They vow and make-agreements, but they do not fulfill-(them). What they call righteousness/justice, it is like poisonous weeds in a ploughed (rice)-field.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “They falsely promise that they will do many things;
    they solemnly promise and make agreements,
    but they do not do what they promise.
    So people accuse and sue each other in the courts;
    they are like poisonous weeds that grow in a plowed field.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
