complete verse (Mark 5:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 5:2:

  • Uma: “In that land of Gerasa, there was a person who was possessed by an evil-spirit. His dwelling was in the graves. He couldn’t be kept bound even with chains, for no kidding was he strong. Sometimes his feet and hands were bound, but he could always break the ropes and chains. Because he was so strong, no-one dared to guard him. Day and night he kept wandering among the graves and in the mountains, and he called out and wounded himself with rocks. So, just as Yesus got-off/descended from the boat, this possessed person appeared from the graves.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “When Isa got out of the boat, a person/man came to meet him who came from the burying places. This person/man was demon possessed.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And when Jesus got out of the boat, he was met by a man who came from the burial caves.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then Jesus got-out-of the boat.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “As Jesus got out of the boat, he was met by a person coming from the cemetary, who was possessed by an evil spirit.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
