complete verse (Revelation 1:4)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 1:4:

  • Uma: “This letter is from me, Yohanes, I send it to the followers of Yesus who live in seven towns in the province of Asia. Many greetings: I call out to God, I request that he bless you from his grace [lit., white insides] and give you goodness of life. This blessing is from God who was from the beginning, who is now, and who is forever. And this blessing is from the Seven Spirits of God who are in front of the Seat of God,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “This writing is from me, Yahiya. I send this writing to the seven gatherings of people belonging to God who are there in the place of Asiya. May God care for you and may he cause-peace in your livers. He is the God who does not change since the beginning of times until now and forever. May you also be cared for by God’s Spirit and may he cause-peace in your livers. God’s Spirit is there facing God’s sitting-place/is before God’s throne.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I, John, am writing to the seven groups of believers in the province of Asia. I pray that grace be shown to you by God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus Chirst they also give you a peaceful situation. As for God, He existed before anything was created; He still exists today and He cannot go out of existence forever. As for the Holy Spirit who lives in front of the seat of God, He has seven powers. Jesus Christ is the one whose word can be trusted. Of all who die and are raised again, He is the highest in rank. He is the one who controls the kings here on the earth. His breath is big toward us. He freed us from the punishment of our sins by causing His blood to be shed.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Here is my letter to you who meet-as-a-congregation in the seven congregations in the province Asia. May you have mercy/grace/kindness and peace that comes-from God and his Spirit (Ispirito) and Jesu Cristo. God, he exists now, he existed previously and he will-exist forever. His Spirit which is in front of his throne (loan trono), there are seven manifestations/showings of his power (i.e. ways his power is shown). Jesu Cristo, he is one who is faithful to confirm concerning God. He also is the first who came-to-life again who didn’t again die and the one who rules/will-rule all rulers in this world. He loves us, and he set-us -free from our sins through his blood which flowed-out at his death.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “I who am Juan am writing to you there, the groups of those who believe/obey and trust the Lord in seven places in the district of Asia. I pray that hopefully there with you always is the grace/mercy and peace of mind/inner-being which is given by God the Father, and the Lord Jesu-Cristo and the Espiritu Santo. This God the Father, he is alive without ending, for from long ago he already existed and until forever he will still exist. And this Espiritu Santo, he is right there with God who sits on his seat of kingship.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I, John, greet the believers who live in seven cities which are in the land of Asia. May God bless you and put peace in your hearts. This God lives now and was living in the days gone past and he continues to live throughout the days to come. Also may the Holy Spirit bless you, this one who is like seven lights appearing before God’s chair.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
