complete verse (Philippians 1:20)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 1:20:

  • Uma: “My desire and what I greatly hope, is that I will not become shamed in this work of mine. I hope that I will keep being brave to say my witness/testimony–even more so at this time–so that whether I live or die, the name of Kristus will be made-big in me [lit., my body].” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Truly that is what I really want and expect/hope, that I will really not fail in the work which God has given to me. If only I will/would always be bold to proclaim, especially now, so that Isa Almasi is praised because of me. If/whether I am still living or if/whether I am killed, I want that Almasi is praised because of me.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And it is my strong desire and I have entrusted it to God, that I might always be able to do what He wants me to, so that I might not be ashamed at any time, especially now; I want that Christ be praised by means of me, by means of my being set free from this prison or if not, that Christ might be praised by means of my death.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “What I expect and exceedingly want is that there should be no cause-for-me-to-be-ashamed to God but rather that my courage to preach God’s word will suffice now as previously so that Cristo might continue to be praised because of me now when I am alive and even if I die.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And I am also really hoping/expecting that there will be nothing at all which I might do which would cause me to be ashamed. On the contrary, I am asking that my mind/inner-being become really extremely bold now, as it has been all this time, so that whether I die or am allowed to live, it will greatly bring praise/glory to Cristo.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “For me, if I fear to speak the word about Christ, it is a shame I do. Rather must I be strengthened to speak the word always, and not be afraid because I’m ion jail. Whether I am released, or whether I am put to death, is not important to me. Only it is that I search how to cause Christ to be looked well upon.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
