Following are a number of back-translations of Philemon 1:10:
- Uma: «Let’s say my request [formulaic way of beginning request], that you receive well this my child Onesimus. I really consider-him-my-child, because while I was in prison here, I was the one who led him to believe in the Lord Yesus. So, I am the one he considers-father in the faith.» (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: «I request-from/ask-of you because of Onesimus. He is already like my child and I have already become his father because I influenced/carried him to trust in Isa while I am/was here in prison.» (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
