complete verse (Romans 3:9)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 3:9:

  • Uma: «So the summary [lit., leveling-off words] is like this: we Jews are not better than other people. For like I said earlier, all men are guilty because we all are sinners, both the Jews and also other people.» (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: «So-then, don’t say that we (excl.) Yahudi are better in the sight of God than the tribes/nations not Yahudi, because that is not true. I have already made clear to you that all mankind, Yahudi or not Yahudi, alike sin habitually (lit. are addicted to sin).» (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: «As for us (excl.) Jews, perhaps you’re thinking mistakenly that we are far better off than those people who are not Jews. However, that’s not true. I have taught you before, that as for all mankind, Jew or not Jews, all are doing evil.» (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: «What then will we say? Is the status of the Jews in God’s estimation better than that of the Gentiles? No, because I have already said that sin rules all people, whether (lit. even) Jews or Gentiles.» (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: «Now then, are the Jews much better than all the rest of the people? Such a word cannot be right. Because I have already said that Jews and people who are not Jews all have sin.» (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
