Following are a number of back-translations of Acts 11:18:
- Uma: “When those gathered heard the words of Petrus, they stopped finding fault with him. Instead they praised God, they said: ‘If thus, it seems that God does also accept people who are not Yahudi people, he gives them opportunity to repent from their sins so that [lit., until / to the point that] they receive good life forever.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “When the Yahudi heard this, they had nothing to say. Even more so they praised God. They said, ‘If that’s the case, God has also caused the non-Yahudi tribes to-think/given-the-mind so that their livers would be changed and they have life forever.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And when the Jewish believers heard this argument of Peter’s, they stopped scolding him, and they praised God because they said, ‘So God has come down upon those people who aren’t Jews so that they might be able also to abandon their bad customs and so that they might receive eternal life.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “When they heard that, they stopped criticizing him and they praised God saying, ‘(surprised realization particle) So even the Gentiles, God gave them the opportunity to repent so-that they also will enjoy life that has no end.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “When those challenging Pedro heard, they stopped their protesting. What they next did was, they praised God. They were saying, ‘Well, if that’s how it is apparently, God has now also graced even people who aren’t Jews, that they might repent and let go of their sins, so that life can be theirs which has no ending.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
