complete verse (Revelation 17:17)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 17:17:

  • Uma: “But what they do is definitely the intention of God beforehand. Because God is the one who moved the hearts of those kings so that they accomplish [lit., cause-to-walk] his intentions. That is why those kings were of one mind/heart to offer their authority to rule to the animal, until what God foretold really happened.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “The reason that they do this is because they have-been-given-the-thought by God to do his wish. It is because of God’s will that they agree to give their authority to the creature until all that God said will be fulfilled.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The reason they will do this is because God has made them want to fulfill the purpose of God. Because of this they will be able to think of only one thing, and so they will give to the beast their power to rule until the prophetic words of God are fulfilled.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “That woman whom you (sing.) saw, it is the large city which rules-over all kings on the earth. These-things have happened to her, because it is God who directed their minds to fulfill his purposes. That is the reason they turned-over to the fearsome animal their authority to rule until all that God said would be fulfilled.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “For God put in the minds of those ten that they would fulfill what he had determined, for they will be of-one-mind and put their authority and means/ability under the control of this animal until the things which were spoken by God be fulfilled.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “These ten rulers who agreed to give over to the terrible animal their power, it is God who caused that thus they did in order that there will happen what God has determined to happen.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
