complete verse (Revelation 2:17)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 2:17:

  • Uma: “‘Whoever has-ears, listen well to what the Holy Spirit says to my followers in every village. ‘Whoever wins, I allow them to eat the manna that is hidden. I give them a white stone. On that white stone is written a new name, that other people do not know. The ones who know it are only the persons who receive that stone.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘All you who have ears, you should listen to what the Spirit of God says to the churches.’ He also said, ‘Whoever is not carried-along by temptation/the tempters I will give him food from heaven called manna. I will also give each one of them a white stone and their new name will be written there. Nobody will know that name except only the one it is given to.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Each one of you must listen/obey to what the Holy Spirit says to you believers. The one who can overcome Satan, I will give him the manna food which I still have hidden which comes from heaven. And I will also give him a white stone upon which is written a new name. The only one who will know what that name is the one to whom it will be given.'” (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 -some-of the hidden food designated as manna. I will also give each of them a white stone on-which-is-written a new name, and no one knows that name except (lit. if not) the person to-whom-it-has-been-given.’ ‘” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Well 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 detruction of believing/obeying, it’s certain there is something I will give to him which is being reserved here in heaven which can’t yet be seen by man, that manna which can cause one to live without ending. I will also give him a white stone on which is written a new name which no-one at all will know, but only he to whom it was given.”” (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: ‘Concerning the person who comes out victorious over the evil there is, I will cause that he will eat the food which is in heaven, that food which is not known here on earth. And I will give him the small white stone. This small stone which I will give has written on it a name which is a new one no one knows about. Only the one who receives the stone will know about it,’ he says.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
