Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 5:8:
- Uma: “Yesus ordered the evil-spirit to leave, he said: ‘Depart from that person!’ The person shouted/hooted he said: ‘Ee Yesus Child of God who is in heaven! Why have you (sing.) come here? By the name of God I request that you (sing.) not torment me.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So-then Isa said to the demon, ‘Come out of that person/man, Demon.’ The demon screamed loud, he said, ‘You have nothing to do with me, Isa. You are the Son of God, the most high God. God is listening, I implore you, do not hurt/punish/persecute me.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Jesus spoke to that demon, ‘Get away from that person!’ Then the person screamed, and he said to Jesus, ‘Ay! You Son of the Most High God, what business do you have with me? I beg you to promise me that you will not punish me yet because we are here before God!'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “That’s what he said, because Jesus had already commanded, ‘You (sing.) evil-spirit, leave that-one!'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “He spoke like that because Jesus had already said to that evil spirit who was possessing, ‘Leave this person now!'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
