complete verse (Revelation 19:15)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 19:15:

  • Uma: “From the mouth of that One appeared a sharp sword. With that sword he defeated all the people on earth and he ruled them with strength like the strength of an iron walking stick. He is the one who squeezed the grape fruits in the grape press of God whose power surpasses all. Its meaning, he is the one who shows the anger of God toward all his enemies.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “A sharp weapon came out of his mouth and he uses this for fighting the tribes and they will be defeated by him. His ruling them is strong like iron that does not break. If anyone challenges/fights him, he will make them figuratively like grapes when they are pressed for making a drink, he will cause them to taste the wrath of God, the Most-Powerful God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “A very sharp sword came out of His mouth, and He uses this to conquer all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. His rule over them is very strong, and He will cause them to see the anger of the powerful God. It is as if He crushes His enemies because He is like a person who crushes the fruit of grapes.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “The one designated as Word of God, he had a sharp sword coming-out of his mouth that he would use to defeat the collective-towns/countries. In his ruling-over them, he will thoroughly punish whoever doesn’t acknowledge his authority. He will show the fearful hatred of the powerful God for sin, because his punishing them, it’s like people’s squeezing grapes so their juice (lit. water) will be-extracted.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “There was a sharp-edge of a bladed-weapon which came out from his mouth. That is what he would use in causing-to-surrender/subduing the people who hadn’t submitted to him. And then he would reign with means/ability which is far-from-ordinary. And in the same way in which ubas fruit is crushed in a press, like that indeed is how will be the harshness/unyieldingness when he causes those people to taste/try the far-from-ordinary anger of God who has surpassing supernatural-power.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “There at the mouth of the horseman who led them, there came out a sword which was well sharpened. Wit it he will fight the people who live on earth. And he will rule these people strongly. When he judges the people he will step on them with his foot like a person presses out grapes with his foot. He will make them drink the wine which accompanies the sever punishment God will give.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
