Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 19:10:
- Uma: “I lay on my face in front of that angel as-if/ready to worship him, but he said to me: ‘Don’t! Don’t worship me. It is God that you (sing.) worship. Because I am also a servant of God the same as you (sing.) and the same as all your (sing.) relatives of one-confession who confess that Yesus is their Lord. For the main purpose of all foretelling words is: to confess that Yesus is Lord.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Then I prostrated there at his feet to praise him, but he said to me, ‘Don’t prostrate to me. I am just a servant of God as you are and like your brothers who believe-obey the true teaching that Isa made known. God is the only one you must praise.’ The true teaching made known by Isa Almasi, that is also the one made known to the prophets who made-known/spread God’s message.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then I fell on my face in front of him for I wanted to worship him, however he shouted at me, he said, ‘Don’t worship me because I and you and all of your companions who believe the doctrine which Jesus taught, we are all just the same servants of God. You only worship God!’ The reason he said this was because that which God caused the prophets to speak is the doctrine which Jesus taught.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Upon his saying that, I knelt face-down in front of him to worship him koma. But he said, ‘Don’t! God alone is the one whom you (sing.) are to worship! Because I also am one who serves God just like you (sing.) and your (sing.) brothers who follow the true teaching that Jesus made-known. Because what God’s Spirit caused-the prophets -to-say, it indeed also came-from what Jesus made-known.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “When I heard, I bowed down in front of that one who was speaking to me, for I was going to worship him. But he said to me, ‘Don’t! Don’t do like that. It’s necessary that only God will be worshipped by you. For as for me, I am also his servant like you and like your siblings in believing, those who testify to the teaching which was made known by Jesus. Because that truth which Jesus made known, this is the point/bottom-line of what was said by the prophets.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “I then knelt down before the angel, wanting to worship him. But the angel said to me: ‘No, do not worship me. I am also a worker for God like you are a worker for God, and like other of your brothers who strongly speak the word of Jesus. God alone is whom you must worship,’ he said to me. Whoever works, speaking the word of Jesus, these are the spokesmen for God.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
