complete verse (Hosea 7:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 7:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “when I wanted to heal my people of Israel,
    the sins of Ephraim sprang up/revealed themselves
    and/with the bad deeds of Samaria.
    People went around speaking lies.
    Thieves break into people’s houses.
    They rob people of their things on the road.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “When I am about to heal Israel,
    the wickedness of Ephraim
    and the evil deeds of Samaria are exposed.
    They live by deceiving others.
    Thieves break into the house, take off with the loot,
    bandits are robbing on the road.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I would/[lit. wish] like to heal those (who) come-from Israel. But what I saw among them is their wickedness. They cheat, going-inside houses and steal, and robbing in the streets.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘and when I wanted to heal them again,
    I did not do it,
    because I saw the wicked things that the people of Samaria city and other places in Israel have done.
    They constantly deceive others;
    bandits rob people in the streets.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
