complete verse (Revelation 17:3)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 17:3:

  • Uma: “[So] the Holy Spirit controlled me and the angel took me going to an empty field. There I saw a woman who was riding an animal. The animal that she rode was bright red, all over its body were written words disparaging to God; it had seven heads and ten horns.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “After this, I was entered by the Spirit of God and was taken by the angel to a lonely-place/desert. Then I saw there a woman riding on a red creature. That creature had seven heads and ten horns. His body was covered with writing of bad names as far as God is concerned.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And by means of the power of the Holy Spirit, I was led by the angel to a place where no people live. There I saw the woman, She is riding upon a red beast, and written on the body of that beast are many titles which transgress God. The beast has seven heads and ten horns.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then God’s Spirit again caused-me-to-dream, and the angel took me to a place with no inhabitants. I saw there a woman riding on a terrible/fearsome red animal with seven heads and ten horns. Its body also, it was written-on with names of God which it had no authority to use.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And then through the control of the Espiritu Santo who is indwelling me, I was taken by an angel to a wilderness place. There I saw a woman riding a red monster/man-eating-animal which had seven heads branching out and ten horns. The body of that animal was covered with writing. What were written were words which were far-from-ordinary insults to God.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The Holy Spirit changed my seeing. Then the angel took me to a wild place. There I saw the woman seated on the terrible animal which was red and had come out of the sea. On the body of the terrible animal it was covered with names which displease God. This terrible animal had seven heads and ten horns.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
