complete verse (Hosea 4:6)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 4:6:

  • Kupsabiny: “My people got lost
    because they do not know me.
    And/But because you are not honoring me,
    I will refuse you to be priests.
    And because you abandoned my teachings,
    I shall also refuse your children.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Because they do not know me my people are being destroyed.
    ‘Because you scorn knowledge,
    I will not allow you to continue your work as my priests.
    Because you have ignored God’s law,
    I will also ignore your sons and daughters.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘My people have-been-destroyed because they lack the knowledge about me. For you (plur.) yourselves who-(are) priests you (plur.) have-rejected the knowledge about me, so I will- also -reject you (plur.) as my priests. You (plur.) have-forgotten my Law, therefore I will- also -forget your (plur.) children.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “It is because my people do not know about me that they will be destroyed.
    And their not knowing about me is because you priests have refused to teach them about me;
    so I will no longer allow you to be my priests.
    You have forgotten the things that I taught you,
    so I will forget to bless your children.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
