Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 13:1:
- Kupsabiny: “When the clan of Ephraim spoke long ago,
the other people were trembling.
They were very exalted/raised up
in the whole land of Israel.
But those people sinned worshipping Baal,
therefore they shall die.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “When Ephraim spoke people were afraid and trembled.
He was made great in Israel,
but because he did worship to Baal god, he became guilty and he died.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘In time-past, when the tribe of Efraim would- now in-fact -speak the other tribes of Israel tremble with fear, and they praise him. But his people sinned because of their worshipping Baal. That is why they died.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “In the past, if the descendants of Efraim spoke, the other tribes were-afraid, because the tribe of Efraim was acknowledged/honored in Israel. But they sinned in their worshipping Baal and they were condemned to die.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

the people trembled;
those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people.
But the people sinned greatly by worshiping Baal,
so now they will be killed by their enemies.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
