Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 12:9:
- Uma: “So, that big dragon, he was thrown out of heaven. His name is the Snake of Old, who is also named the King of Evil-ones and Seta [‘seta’ means ‘demon’ in Uma], who deceives people who live in the whole world. He was thrown out of heaven to earth with his companion angels.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “The big dragon was thrown out of heaven. He is the one called the snake of old times. There is yet another name for him, hibilis or the leader of demons. He is the one who deceived all mankind. He was thrown onto the earth together with all his followers.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Therefore the big snake which is a dragon was driven out of heaven. That snake is Satan, the demon who deceived all mankind. He and all of his angels were thrown down to the earth.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “So he and his angels were thrown to the earth. That large dragon, he is the same one who appeared as a snake long ago who is also named Satanas or the Devil. He is the one who has been deceiving people in this world.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Without anything further, that big dragon was thrown down. Well, as for that dragon, he was that one who disguised himself as a snake long ago and from then on, he has continued his deceiving of all people here under the heavens. One of his names is Accuser (implies the one accusing is also at fault but denying his part), and another is Satanas. He was thrown down here to the ground together with those angels who sided with him.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “The terrible animal was thrown to earth and with him went all the angels he commanded. This one is the old snake who is named the devil and Satan. And he deceives the people who live all over the earth.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
