Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 1:23:

• Kankanaey: “In that time, the Israelita will be like plants that I plant in their land and I will-cause-(them)-to-grow so that they will become my people. I will show-mercy to the people who were named ‘not shown-mercy’ in the past. I will count/consider as my people those who were named ‘not my people’ in the past and they will say in-the-future, ‘You (sing.) are our (excl.) God.’ ’” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
