complete verse (Revelation 13:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 13:2:

  • Uma: “I saw that animal, its appearance was like the animal called a leopard [Indonesian: macan tutul], but its feet were like the feet of a bear [Indonesian: beruang], and its snout/mouth like the snout of a lion [Indonesian: singa]. The dragon gave the animal his own strength, with his government, and his very big power/authority.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “This creature that I saw had a face like a wild-cat (katuli’) and was very big. His feet were like the feet of the animal bear (banuwang) his claws were big and sharp and his mouth was like a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave his power to this creature and he was given authority to rule on the earth.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “That beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The power of the dragon and his authority to rule and his power to control, he gave to the beast.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “His appearance was like a leopard (Eng. loan), but his feet were like the feet of a bear (Eng. loan) and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion (layon). The dragon, he gave to the fearsome animal his power and his great (lit. high) authority to rule.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Like a big wild-cat called leopardo was the body of that monster which I saw. His feet/legs and claws were like those of a wild animal of the forest called oso. His mouth was like the mouth of a leon. The dragon gave all his authority and his kingship to that monster, including his far-from-ordinary means/ability.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I saw that this terrible animal appeared like a tiger. It had feet like the feet of a bear. Its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The other terrible animal which was red, that is the devil, caused that the terrible animal which came out of the sea have his power. He gave him his chair to sit on, to rule over those whom the devil ruled.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
