Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 11:2:
- Kupsabiny: βBut when I was calling them later,
they continued to go further away from me.
They made sacrifices to Baal
and burned those sweet smelling things to idols.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βThe more I called Israel,
the further away they moved from me.
They sacrificed offerings to the god Baal.
And burned incense to idols.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βBut now, even I keep calling for them who come-from-Israel, they even still walk-away from me. They offer offerings and burn incense to the images of Baal.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
