Following are a number of back-translations of 2 Corinthians 10:14:
- Uma: “So, if we (excl.) admonish you, relatives, we (excl.) are not going beyond the boundary. If we (excl.) hadn’t ever come to your village bringing the Good News, we (excl.) wouldn’t have a right [lit., seat] to admonish you. But we (excl.) do have a right to admonish you, for we (excl.) did arrive at your village bringing the Good News.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So then, because you are included in the work God has given us (excl.) (to do), we (excl.) did not go beyond what God had given us (excl.) when we (excl.) went to teach you the good news about Almasi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “It’s not possible that we use our authority in excess when we give advice. We would not have had any authority over you if we had not long ago preached to you. However, we were the first ones who arrived there preaching the Good News about Christ.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Therefore we (excl.) don’t exceed our proper jurisdiction if we (excl.) boast-about our (excl.) work in your location, for we (excl.) definitely are the ones who went-first (lit. preceded) in preaching the good news about Cristo to you.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Therefore when we (excl.) are teaching you, we (excl.) are not as-might-be-said going beyond the work that God entrusted to us (excl.), as if you were not included in this work that was entrusted to us. For it’s true, through our (excl.) facing/attending-to that which he entrusted to us (excl.), we (excl.) were the very-first to go there bringing the Good News concerning Cristo.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “So then, God gave me the work to go there where you live. I did not decide by myself to go there. And I was the first one to go telling you the word about Christ, before other preachers did.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
