complete verse (Titus 1:1)

Following are a number of back-translations of Titus 1:1:

  • Uma: “This letter is from me, Paulus, the slave of God and the apostle [messenger] of Yesus Kristus. He raised me to become his apostle and he ordered me to strengthen the faith of people whom God has chosen. He also ordered me to teach them the true teaching. If we follow that true teaching, we submit to God,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “This letter is from me, Paul. I am a servant of God and I am commissioned by Isa Almasi told to proclaim his message/word. I was chosen and told to go to the people previously chosen by God, to help them so that their trust in him increases and so that they will know more about the true teaching that is the teaching of our (incl.) religion.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for you Titus, I write to you. You are like my true son, for your faith in the Lord is also like my faith in Him. May God and our Savior Jesus Christ show you kindness, and may they give you a peaceful situation. I am Paul, the servant of God and the apostle, which is to say, sent-one of Jesus Christ. The reason He sent me is so that I might draw tight the faith of people who are chosen by God, and that I might also draw tight their understanding of the true doctrine which is what we (incl.) believe. An additional reason why He sent me is so that they might understand that they can expect life without end. Long ago before anything was created, God said that He would give us (incl.) this life, and we (incl.) know that it is not possible for Him not to fulfill what He says. And now this is the time for Him to make known this life by means of the Good News. And as for this news, God our Savior entrusted it to me.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “I am Pablo whom God appointed to serve him. I am also an apostle of Jesu Cristo (henceforth Jesu Cristo). He sent me to strengthen the faith of those whom God chose as his people and to make-known to them the true teaching from God which results-in a godly lifestyle.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Son Tito, there-(with-you) is my letter, I who am Pablo, who is a servant of God. I was caused to be an apostle of Jesu-Cristo so that through my teaching of the Good News, the people whom he chose will believe/obey. He sent me so that they would comprehend the truth and then they would live in harmony with this truth.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I, Paul, am God’s worker and the representative of Jesus Christ. I was given the work to cause to believe in Christ those whom God has chosen. I am to cause that they will know that what we believe is true.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
