Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 5:1:
- Kupsabiny: “Hear this word, oh, priests.
Listen, oh, people of Israel.
Listen, also you rulers.
You are the ones who are to be accused,
because you led the people astray at Mizpah
and set a trap for them at Tabor.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Hear this word, O Priests!
Listen and pay attention, O Israelites!
Listen and pay attention, O house of the King!
This judgment is against you.
You have been a trap at Mizpah
and a net spread out at Tabor. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The LORD still said, ‘[You (plur.)] listen, people of Israel, as-well-as you (plur.) who (are) priests and members of the family of the king, for this judgment (is) against you (plur.): (It-) seems like you (plur.) (are) a snare, for you (plur.) have-harmed the people-groups of Mizpa and Tabor.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘Listen, you priests!
And you other Israeli people, you also pay attention!
And you who are members of the king’s family, you also need to listen,
because I am going to judge you!
Your worshiping idols has been like a trap for the people at Mizpah town;
it has been like a net spread out to catch people at Tabor Mountain.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
