complete verse (Hebrews 6:20)

Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 6:20:

  • Uma: “We are brave to meet him, for Yesus has entered there ahead [of us], opening-for-us a door in order that we (may) follow (him). He became our Big Priest forever, who is like Melkisedek long ago.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Our (incl.) expectation/hope in God’s promises is figuratively like an anchor that makes us (dual) firm/fixes us to God. It is very certain that God fulfills his promises because Isa has already gone ahead of us (dual) to heaven into the presence of God mediating for us (incl.). Like the Yahudi priests enter the temple (lit. big prayer-house) (and) go into the innermost room that is shielded by thick cloth, like that Isa has entered into the presence of God because now he is high priest forever like the priest Malkisadik of old.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Very strong and made firm is this expectancy of ours that God will fulfill His promise because the one we trust in is God. And as for Jesus, He has become our chief, and there He is standing before God and Jesus has been made our (incl.) high priest who has no end, just like the priest Melchizedek, a long time ago.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “That’s where Jesus preceded to speak-with God for us, because he is the one who became a highest priest forever like the priesthood of Melkizedek.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Jesus preceded us there and now is standing up for us in the presence of God. For, as for this Jesus, he was the one set up as Most-important Priest without ending like the high/important priesthood of Melquisedec. 6:2 In the past, the custom of the Jews was, they would place hands on the head of the animal they were making a sacrifice of, for they were causing- their sins -to-transfer there (Leviticus 1:4). Another also, if they were setting a person up in his job/responsibility, they were placing hands on also (Numbers 27:18, Deuteronomy 34:9). And in the time of the apostles (they) were-placing-hands-on a person if they were making-well (his) illness, or if (they) were entrusting (him) to the Lord for his work. 6:14 Genesis 22:16-17. 6:15 When Abraham died he didn’t yet have many descandants but, by God’s supernatural-power, he did now have a child and two grandchildren. Therefore, before he died, what was promised him had begun to take place.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “This Jesus entered there in heaven where he is. He is the one who helps us so that we will be able to live there where he is. He has become a priest of God forever. He has taken over the work which Melchizedek worked at.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
