complete verse (Hosea 14:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 14:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Let any person who is wise listen to these words and fix them in the head
    because the ways of God are straight/righteous.
    The righteous people follow those ways,
    but the people who pulls away from him fall down.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Who is wise? He must understand these things.
    Who is discerning? He must know these things.
    The path of the LORD is right,
    and righteous people go on that path.
    But sinful people will stumble on it.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “May the-one-who-has-understanding among you (plur.) know and understand what has-been-written here. The ways of the LORD (are) truly right and these are-being-followed by the righteous-ones, but these have-become a stumbling-block for the transgressors.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Those who are wise/intelligent, may they understand and esteem/heed what is written here. Because the path that God points-out is straight and correct, a pathway (lit. place-of-walking) of the righteous but a cause-of-stumbling of the characteristically-sinful.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “Those who are wise will understand the things about which I have written.
    Those who think well will pay careful attention to them.
    The things that Yahweh wants us to do are right;
    righteous people will conduct their lives adhering to them.
    But those who rebel against Yahweh will be ruined.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
