complete verse (Revelation 12:5)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 12:5:

  • Uma: “That woman did give birth, bearing a male Child. That Child, He is the one who will rule all the world with strength like the strength of an iron walking stick. The dragon was about to swallow the Child, when he was lifted up and taken to God to rule along with God in heaven.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Then the woman gave birth to a boy but he was not eaten by the dragon because immediately he was snatched away and brought to God, there to the throne of God. The fate of that boy was that he should rule over all tribes in the future and his ruling would be strong like iron that does not break.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then a male came out, and as for this male, in the future He will rule over all kingdoms here on the earth, and no one will be able to resist His rule over them. And this child was snatched by God and taken up to heaven to the seat of His ruling.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But upon the birth of her child which was a male, someone snatched him to take him to where-God -was who was ruling, because he is the one who will later rule-over all nations, and he will thoroughly defeat whoever doesn’t acknowledge his authority.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Without anything further, that woman gave birth, a male being born. But it didn’t get drawn into the mouth of the dragon, because through the determined-plan of God, someone grabbed that baby and took him to him who was sitting on his seat of kingship. For as for that child, he was dedicated/secured to reign over all nations with far-from-ordinary means/ability.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “This woman who carried the child gave birth to a son, the one who will strongly rule the people. But this son was taken by God to where he lives so that he would sit with him.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
