complete verse (Revelation 18:23)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 18:23:

  • Uma: “There is no longer anyone who lights lamps. There are no longer any wedding feasts. The merchants of the village of Babel, their name is big in the world. With their sorcery the villagers of Babel fooled/deceived all the people in the world.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “The light of lamps will not be seen there anymore. The merry-making of people at a wedding will not be heard there. The traders there, they were the most powerful/influential in the whole world. And all the people of the world were deceived by the sorcerers (mangahinang-ngahinang sawe’de) there.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “This city will never be illuminated again by any kind of lamp. The talking of a man and woman who were just married will never again be heard in this city. The seekers of wealth here have become very famous over all the earth, and by means of the sorceries of the shamans there, people in all the kingdoms have been deceived.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “There-will-be-no lamps lit again and no one will-have-weddings. Those will be the punishments of Babilonia, because those who sell there, their minds are arrogant saying that they are the richest on the earth, and the inhabitants there moreover, they have led-astray the collective-people on the earth with their lies.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Really not even one lamp will give light there any more. There will no more be heard the celebration of a marriage-feast. For those people from Babilonia will be punished because the merchants elevated themselves there. They really were the famous and powerful ones of the whole world. And they misled all the nations, that’s why all the people caused themselves to be involved in the evil which is the secret-supernatural-skills of the people from there.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “No longer will there be seen the lights of lamps. Now longer will it be seen that there are the voices of the people at where there is a wedding. The city will be finished off, even though those who had businesses in the city were like bosses. And concerning the witchcraft which was carried on in it, it deceived all the people all over the world.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
