Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 2:12:
- Uma: “That lame one really got up, he rolled up his mat and he left walking, witnessed by those many people. Then those many people saw what happened, they were all surprised, and they praised God, they said: ‘We have never seen anything like what just happened!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So-then the sick man got up and immediately took his bed and went outside before the eyes/in sight of all. All the people were amazed. They praised God, they said, ‘We (incl.) have never seen anything like this.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And then that person got up, picked up his hammock, and went out of the house. And all the people saw this. And the people, when they had seen this, they were very amazed and they gave thanks to God. They said, ‘We have never seen anything like this!'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then that-one got-up, picked-right-up the stretcher that he had been lying on, and went-out in the sight of them all. And all those who were there were surprised while-simultaneously they also praised God saying, ‘Ana! (equiv. to Wow!) We have never seen anything like this!'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Without anything further, that person stood up, picked up what he was lying on and then went, everybody watching. They were all amazed and praised God, for they said, ‘We (incl.) really haven’t observed anything like this before!'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Kim text for oral translation: “At the same time, the person got up, took his bed, went out in the view of everyone. The thing astonished the people, they all praised God and said: ‘We have not seen a similar thing done one day on earth!'” (Source: Bayamy Tchande Awakde in The Bible Translator 2025, p. 23ff.)
- English translation by Michael Pakaluk (2019): “The man got up. Without delay, he grabbed the pallet and left — right in front of everyone. The effect was that everyone was overcome with amazement. And they gave glory to God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this.'”
