complete verse (Romans 2:20)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 2:20:

  • Uma: “We say/think that we are the ones who are smart to lead-by-the-hand people who don’t know God, we are the ones who can enlighten [lit., make clear] those who are still in the darkness and who do not yet know the true teaching. For it is with us Jews that there is the main knowledge and true teaching that is written in the Lord’s Law.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Because God’s law is there with you, which is only the true teaching, you say that you know how to teach the foolish ones and the ones ignorant about God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “You think mistakenly that you are the ones who are able to teach people who do not really know about God. And you also think mistakenly that you are the ones to teach people who have just begun to study what is right. The reason you think this way is because God entrusted the Law to you and very correct is the wisdom and very true is the doctrine which comes from it.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “You also know for-sure that you have the ability to advise and teach people who are like children, because they have not been taught and they don’t know what is correct. You say/think that, because you admittedly know God’s law which is the location of what is correct and true.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “They say that they know well how to teach people who do not know anything. They say they know well how to educate people who do not know the word. Because there in the law they say that there is all the true word which they use to teach people.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
