complete verse (Philippians 3:8)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 3:8:

  • Uma: “More than that, everything, I consider it all to be something that causes-loss, because what is better is that I know Kristus Yesus my Lord. So, I have let-go-of all other things, I consider it nothing more than trash, so that can get Kristus,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “And not only that, but all that was valuable to me formerly, I reject/turn-my-back-on in order that I only know Isa Almasi my Leader because he is much more valuable to me. Because of him I have rejected/turned-my-back-on all that and I consider it just like garbage in order to be able to follow/obey Almasi,” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And that’s not all that I abandoned; rather, I thoroughly abandoned everything which was precious to me so that I might get something much more precious which is my being made one with Jesus Christ, my Lord. Because of Him, I have left everything, and I consider these things to be just garbage here on the earth, that I might be made one with Christ,” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “And not only that but rather I consider that everything has absolutely no use/value if I compare it to the worth of my-knowing Cristo Jesus my Lord, because that is far more-valuable than even any other thing. Because of him, I have left all those-things and I consider (them) as mere garbage so that I will be able to enjoy/gain my companionship-with Cristo” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Yes indeed, no matter what thing, I regard it as really of no account when compared with the greatly superior quality of truly knowing Cristo Jesus my Lord. That’s why just because of him, I have now left everything. I really regard all things as of no value, so that knowing Cristo in-full can be mine,” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Now, even though I thought it was supremely important to do what I did, but now I make the judgment that not any of it is important now. Because now what is supremely important is that I have known my Lord Jesus Christ. So now all that I had confidence in before, I throw aside now in that I follow Christ.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
