complete verse (Acts 24:14)

Following are a number of back-translations of Acts 24:14:

  • Uma: “However, one thing that I admit/confess to Governor, I follow the Teaching of the Lord Yesus, which my enemies repudiate. According to that teaching I worship the God whom our (excl.) ancestors worshipped, and I still believe all that is written in the Law of Musa and the letters of the prophets.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “But I confess to you that I really worship the God of our (excl.) ancestors in accordance with the teaching of Isa Almasi, but they say that is not right. But I really believe also all that is written in the law of Musa and in the holy-books of the prophets.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “However, I am not ashamed to tell you that I worship God, the God which was worshipped also long ago by our ancestors. However this doctrine that I follow, these people say that it is false, and I follow also everything that is written in the law that Moses left behind and also the writings long ago by those who were inspired by God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But there is however something I will admit to you (sing.), and it is this. I follow the faith of the Cristiano in my worshipping the God of our (excl.) ancestors, and that’s what they say/think is not correct teaching. But I nevertheless obey/believe all our (excl.) laws and absolutely-all of what the prophets wrote long ago.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Only this is what I will admit to. In harmony indeed with the teaching which they say is wrong is my serving of the God of our (excl.) ancestors. And I also indeed follow/obey all which is contained in the laws of Moises and all which was written by the prophets of the past.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Teutila Cuicatec: “I will tell you truthfully that I obey the new rule that the God of my forefathers has re-established. Those people claim that this rule is different, is apart, but it is not, for I believe in God, in all of his law, and in all that he caused the prophets to write.”
  • Isthmus Mixe: “But this I admit is true. I worship God, whom our ancestors worshipped. I worship God like the new mind says, which the Israelites consider as not good. For I believe everything that is written in the book which has the law of Moses and the words of God’s speakers.” (Source: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)
