complete verse (Revelation 2:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 2:2:

  • Uma: “He says: I know what you do. You work diligently doing my work, you also endure when persecuted because of your belief in me. I know that you hate evil people. There are those who say that they are my apostles, but they are not. You carefully-look-at their deeds and as-a-result you find that they are lying.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “I do know your doings. I know that you work very hard and that you persevere enduring even whatever difficulty you have. I also know that you are not pleased with the doings of those bad people and you have closely-questioned the people there who pretend that they are apostles and you know already that they are lying/liars.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I know all the things you are doing; I know that you work hard and that you endure hardship because of your believing. I know also that you do not permit wicked people to be your companions. For the people who say that they are apostles of Jesus, you have tested, and by this you know that they are not true apostles.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “I know your way-of-life. You are industrious in working for me and you are patient. You have also been-opposing what evil people are teaching, because you have tested those who say they are apostles, and you have-come-to-know that they are lying.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “I really know the deeds/work of you believers there. You persevere with real perseverence and you really hold fast to your believing in the truth. I can really see that you do not tolerate those among you who do evil. You tested those there who were-claiming-falsely-to-be-apostles , and comprehended that they truly were just claiming-falsely-to-be-apostles.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I know what all you are doing. I know how strongly you do the work of God. And you endure however much suffering you go through. I know that you do not carry along with you people who are evil. I know that there have arisen people who want to deceive you, saying that they are my representatives. But you have judged how these people walk and found that they are liars.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
