Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 2:7:
- Uma: “‘Whoever has-ears/is-eared, listen well to what the Holy Spirit says to my followers in every village. ‘Whoever wins/is-victorious [intransitive form of the verb ‘to defeat’], I allow them to eat the fruit of the tree of life, that is in the Garden of God.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “‘All you who have ears, you should listen to what the Spirit of God says to the gatherings of people belonging to me.’ (after this ‘the churches’). He also said, ‘Whoever is not carried-along by temptation/the tempters I will give authority to him to eat fruit from the tree that gives life which is there where God is (lit. in the there-place of God).'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Every one of you must listen/obey what the Holy Spirit says to you believers! The person who is able to defeat Satan, I will permit him to eat the fruit of the tree of life forever which is in the place where God lives.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “You who are listening, think-about what God’s Spirit is saying to the congregations. The people who defeat evil, I will give them the authority to eat the fruit of the tree that gives life which is growing in Paraiso the place of God.’ ‘” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Therefore since what ears are for is for listening with, you must listen well to this which is being said, which the Espiritu Santo is causing to be comprehended by the ones who believe and trust in me. For whoever is able to have victory over whatever leads to sinning and leads to destruction of believing/obeying, I will give him authority to be able to eat fruit of the tree which gives life, which is in the garden of God.”” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Concerning the person who has an ear, let him listen to these words which the Holy spirit says to the believers. He says: To the person who comes out victorious over the evil there is, I will give permission to eat the fruit of the tree which stands in God’s garden. When he eats the fruit, then that person will live forever,’ he says.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
