Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 8:9:

• Kupsabiny: “The people of Israel went to Assyria
  and wander around like a wild donkey.
  Ephraim has sold herself to their lovers.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Like a wild donkey going hither and thither, all alone
  they went to Assyria.
  By taking wages, Ephraim has sold herself off to her lovers.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Its-as-if she (is) like a wild donkey that is-by-itself and wandering. She asked-for-help from Asiria; she paid the other nations so-that she would-be-helped.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Like donkeys that are looking for mates,
  they have requested help from Assyria;
  they paid money to the leaders of Assyria
  in order to persuade those leaders to protect them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
