complete verse (Revelation 20:4)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 20:4:

  • Uma: “After that I saw several chairs, and the people who sat in those chairs were given the power/authority to decide cases. I saw also the ghosts/spirits of people who were beheaded because they admitted/confessed that Yesus was their Lord, and they believed the Word of God. Those people, they did not worship the evil animal or his idol, they also did not receive the sign of the animal on their foreheads or their arms/hands. These ones came alive again and ruled at together with Kristus for one thousand years.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Then I saw thrones. Those who were sitting on the thrones were given authority to judge. Likewise I also saw the souls of the people who had been killed because of their proclaiming the true teaching that was made known by Isa Almasi and (because of their) proclaiming God’s message. They had not worshiped the creature or his statue. And they also had not been marked with the mark of the creature on their foreheads or on their hands. These people lived again and they reigned with Isa Almasi for one thousand years.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then I saw the seats of ruling. The ones sitting on them, they were given authority to pass judgment. I saw also the souls of the people who had been killed because they spread the word of God and the teaching of Jesus. They did not worship the beast nor the image of the beast, and they also did not have themselves marked with the mark of the beast on their foreheads or on their hands. They were raised from the dead and were caused to rule with Christ for a thousand years.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then I saw those seated on thrones to whom had been given authority to judge. I saw also the spirits of those who had been killed-at-various-times because of their having told the word of God and the teaching that Jesus made-known. They are the ones who had not worshipped the fearsome animal and the animal-image that was his likeness, and neither had they been marked with his mark on their foreheads or hands. They lived again and they will rule-with Cristo for one-thousand years.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “What I saw next was there were seats of kingship. The ones sitting on them were given authority to judge. There also were the spirits of the ones who had been killed because of their testimony about Jesus and their teaching the word of God. They really didn’t worship that monster. Much more so his image, they really didn’t worship it. They also really didn’t cause themselves to be branded with the mark of that animal on their forehead or their hand/arm. Those people were made alive to be companions of Cristo in reigning for the space of those thousand years.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Having passed what I saw, I saw many chairs. There sat on them those who had taken up the position of governing to make judgments. These were the people who had been killed, having their heads cut off. They were hurt in this way because they had not rested from telling about the word of God, the word which Jesus taught. These were the people who did not let themselves worship the terrible animal, and they did not worship his idol. And they had not let themselves be marked on their foreheads or hands. I saw that these people again were living and together with Christ they ruled for one thousand years.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
