Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 2:23:
- Kupsabiny: “I will give my people to live in their land. I will show mercy to those that I called ‘Not shown mercy.’ I shall call those I called ‘Not my people’ ‘my people.’ Then, they shall say, ‘You are our God.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “I will establish my people and make them prosper.
I will show mercy and love to the one I had said, ‘I will never have mercy on you.’
To the ones I said ‘You are not my people’ I will say, ‘You are my people.’"
And they will say "You are our God.’’” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-cause- you (plur.) -to-dwell/live in your (plur.) land as my people. I will-show my mercy to you (plur.) who are-called Lo Ruhama. And you (plur.) who are- also -called Lo Ami I will-call my people, and you (plur.) will-say that I am your (plur.) God.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
