complete verse (Romans 11:28)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 11:28:

  • Uma: “At this time the Jews are enemies of God, because they refuse to believe in the Good News. From there you non-Jews ended up being blessed. But even so, those Jews are still loved by God, because he chose them from long ago and he always remembers his promise to their ancestors.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “The Yahudi are the enemies of God now because they did not believe the good news. This not believing of theirs is (lit. goes-home mole’) for your good now. But from the beginning it was the Yahudi who were chosen by God in order to become his people. And God loves them yet because-of his promise to their ancestors.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now as for some of the Jews, they have become enemies of God because they would not believe the Good News. And because of this it was possible that you who were not Jews, were saved from punishment. But in spite of this, they are still precious in the breath of God because they are His chosen people, and because of His promise long ago to their ancestors.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “As concerns the Jews’ rejection of the good news, they are counted as God’s enemies, and that leads to your benefit. But as concerns God’s choosing them, he still loves them on account of plural Abraham who were their ancestors.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The Jews who reject the good news become enemies of God. Therefore God sends the word to where live the people who are not Jews. But even so, God still loves the Jews. Because their ancestors are the chosen by God.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
  • Huehuetla Tepehua: “Some of the Israelites are God’s enemies now since they don’t put their confidence in the teaching about Christ. But because of this, you who aren’t Israelites can put your confidence in Christ. But the Israelites are the ones that God first chose. And he really loves them because of the word that he agreed with our ancient fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
