complete verse (Revelation 13:8)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 13:8:

  • Uma: “All the people who lived on the earth worshipped him. The only ones who did not worship him were the people who already had their names written in the Book of Life before the world was created. That Book of Life is the book of the Lamb who was slain, in that book are written the names of the people who receive good life until forever.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “This creature was worshiped by all people on earth, by those whose names are not written in the book that belongs to the one called the Sheep, the one who had been killed. When the world was not yet created, beforehand already the names of the people who have life forever were written in this book.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “All people here on the earth are worshipping that beast, those who long ago before the world was founded, their names were not written in the book where those people who are given life are listed. This is the book of the sacrificed young sheep whose allowing himself to be killed was ordained long ago before the world was created.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “So all people on this earth, they praised/worshipped that fearsome animal with the exception of those whose names were written in the book in-which-were-written the names of those who have life that has no end. Before the world was created, their names were already-written in that book which belongs to the Sheep that was killed to be sacrificed/offered.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Therefore he would be worshipped by all people here under the heavens, except those people whose names are written, before the world was created, in that in which are written the names of as many as would be given life which is without ending. As for this writing, it is in the custody/care of the one referred to as Young Sheep who was killed in the past.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The terrible animal was worshiped by the people who live all over the earth. These are the people whose names are not written in the book which the Lamb has, he who was killed. Concerning this book, before the world was made, already it had written in it the names of all who will meet up with the new life.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
