Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 9:16:

• Kupsabiny: “Ephraim shall be destroyed
  their roots shall dry up so they do not produce food.
  Even if they get children
  I shall kill those children quickly!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The people of Ephraim have become like
  a tree that has withered from its roots and bears no fruit.
  Even if they give birth to sons and daughters,
  I will kill their beloved children."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They are like a plant whose root dried-up therefore not bearing-fruit. Even-if they will-give-birth-to-children, I will-kill their beloved children.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Israel is like a grapevine that is dried up;
  like a vine whose roots are withered
  and that produces no fruit.
  Even if the women of Israel give birth to more children,
  I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
