Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 3:10:
- Uma: “My real desire [is], I want to know Kristus, I want to feel the power that made him cause him to live again from death. I want to receive suffering like he received, to the point that perhaps I die the same as he,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “That is only what I want, that I really know Almasi. That means I want to know the power which caused him to be alive again from his death and I want to endure like he endured the difficulties which came to him. I want/wish that I am just able to follow/obey God’s will like Almasi followed even until/including he died.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The only thing that makes me happy now is the knowledge I have about the customs of Christ and His giving me power, which is that power that was used to raise Him from the dead. I want also to share in the sufferings which He endured by abandoning my own desires just like He laid down his life.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “I have no other purpose but that I come-to-know Cristo properly and experience the power that was Cristo’s when he had come-to-life again. But not only that but rather that I also experience his suffering/hardship and join him in dying.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “What I am really after now is that I will know Cristo even better, and that I will experience in my life the strength of the supernatural-power which comes from him because he was made alive again. I really want to be able to share in the hardships which were experienced by Cristo, and as-it-were to be able to share also in his death for I am making myself like him in his obeying the will of God.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “What I want now is that I know well Christ. I want to encounter the power of God, that which was manifested when Christ was resurrected. Therefore like Christ did, in that he was killed, also I give up my life now, even though it means that I die.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
