Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 7:13:

• Uma: “But let’s not say like this: was it the Lord’s Law, which is good, which resulted in me dying and being separated from God? Certainly not. But the Lord’s Law was used-as-a-road by sin to bring death to me and separate me from God. From the Lord’s Law which is good, it became clear that there is sin in my heart, and it became clear that sin is evil.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Na, this good law of God, is this the cause of our (dual) dying and going to hell? Really not so! But our (dual) sin is the cause. It was revealed/brought-out by the law which is good how really evil our (dual) sin is and our (dual) sin is the cause of our (dual) dying and going to hell. (From) this good law is the reason (that) it became clear that sin is really very-very bad.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And if the Law is good perhaps we are able to say that because of good, which is to say because of the Law, I am sentenced to death without end. Now that’s not it, for because of the evil which I did I am sentenced to death so that I might be taught that my breaking the Law is very bad.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Does this mean to say that we will be separated from God because of his good law? It cannot also be! Because the reason is our sinfulness. But God’s plan concerning his law is that the wickedness of our sinfulness will be seen. Because due to our sins, we have turned-God’s good law -into what he uses to condemn us. Therefore because of his law, the extreme wickedness of our sinfulness is clearly (lit. thoroughly) seen.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “We cannot say that the law of God is bad because it says we must go to punishment. The reason we must go to punishment is because we have sins. Therefore by means of all the words said in the good law, it appears that our sins are very evil.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
