complete verse (Revelation 21:6)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 21:6:

  • Uma: “After that he also said to me: ‘It-is-finished. I am the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End. Whoever of you is thirsty, I give water from headwaters that give good life forever. That water I give freely to you, you don’t need to buy it.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “And he said, ‘All is fulfilled. I am the first and I am the last, I am the beginning and I am the end. Whoever is thirsty I will give him drink free (without payment) from the spring of water that gives life without end.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And He said again, ‘All these things have come to pass. As for me, I am the Alpha and Omega, which is to say, the beginning and ending of everything. If anyone is thirsty I will let him drink at the spring which is the source of the water which gives eternal life, and I won’t make him pay.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then he said, ‘All these-things will be totally fulfilled. I am the one designated as Alfa and Omega, meaning to say, I am the beginning-place and ending-place of everything. I will give the thirsty person free water which comes-from the spring (redundant to say spring of water) that gives life that has no end.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And what he further said to me was, ‘Today all this has now been fulfilled. For I am the one who was first before all and I indeed am the one who will be at the very end. I am the one who created everything and under my authority is its conclusion/being-finished-with. Whoever is parched, it’s certain I will give him water which is without cost which comes from the spring which gives life.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Again he spoke: ‘Now had happened all which must have happened. I was living when all things began and I will continue to be living forever. It is like the first litter is A and the last letter is Z. And now, all who are thirsty, I will cause there where comes out the water of the new life, they will drink there without paying anything.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
