Following are a number of back-translations of John 1:19:

• Uma: “Like this the testimony of Yohanes the Baptizer saying who Yesus is. The rulers of the Yahudi people in Yerusalem sent several priests and Lewi people to Yohanes. When they arrived at Yohanes, they asked: ‘The reason we (excl.) have come, is to ask you (sing.) who you (sing.) are. Are you (sing.) really the Redeemer King? ‘” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “One day priests and helpers of the priests who were told-to-do-so by the leaders of the Yahudi in the city Awrusalam went to Yahiya to ask him who he was.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “There were some people, priests and descendants of Levi, who came to John the Baptist. They were sent by the leaders of the Jews from Jerusalem so that they might ask John who he was.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “On one-occasion, there were priests and descendants of Levi who went to where Juan was. The leaders of the Judio (Jews) in Jerusalem sent them to go inquire of Juan as to who he was.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Once there were some sent by the leaders of the Jews who were taga Jerusalem.
