complete verse (Hosea 1:10)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 1:10:

  • Kupsabiny: “But there is a day/time when the people of Israel will be very many like the sand of the ocean, which cannot be counted. Where they were told, ‘You are not my people’ they will be told, ‘You are children of God.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “‘In spite of that, the number of the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which can neither be counted or measured. At the place where they were told, ‘You are not my people,’ it will be told, ‘You are the children of the living God.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But the time will-come that I will-show-mercy and bless them; they will-be as-numerous-as the sand on the seashore which can- not -be-measured-by-volume or counted. As of now they are-called, ‘Not my people,’ but some-time-later they will-be-called, ‘Children of the living God.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But you Israelita in-the-future will-become-many and it will be like the sand in the ocean which is not countable and not measurable (as with a grain measure). And in the same place where-I-said that you are not my people, you will in-the-future be-named children of the living God.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “But some day the people of Israel will be as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now I am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘You are the children of God who is all-powerful.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
