Following are a number of back-translations of Acts 1:12:
- Uma: “From there, his apostles returned from Mount Zaitun going to Yerusalem. That Mount Zaitun, [was] about one kilometer distance from Yerusalem.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Then they went away from the hill Jaitun and returned to Awrusalam, about one kilometer distance.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And then the apostles left the mountain which is called Olive Place, and they returned to the town of Jerusalem. (That hill, it is very near to Jerusalem. Maybe one kilometer is its distance.)” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the mountain Olivo. The distance, it is almost one kilometer.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Well, without anything further, they then left the Hill of Olibo and returned to Jerusalem. That hill wasn’t far from Jerusalem, only about a kilometer.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Morelos Nahuatl: “Then his servants (apostles) went from on that hill which has olive-tree orchards. That hill is close to Jerusalem, only about 2 kilometers away. They returned to Jerusalem.”
- Central Pame: “Then the apostles came away from there, the hill called Olivar; they arrived in the town Jerusalem. This hill stands near Jerusalem, a little more than a kilometer, the distance they have permission to walk on a rest-day.” (Source for this and above: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)
