complete verse (Revelation 2:27)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 2:27:

  • Uma: “‘Whoever wins and does my will until the end, I will give them authority/power the same as that which I received from my Father. I give them authority/power to rule, ruling men all over the world with strength like the strength of a iron walking stick, and to wipe out their enemies like one who breaks a clay pot.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Whoever is not carried-along by temptation/the tempters and perseveres following my commandments until their death, I will give them the same authority as my Father gave me. I will give them authority to rule over all the tribes. Their ruling will be strong as, figuratively, iron that does not break, and their enemies will break like a claypot. (or: will be like broken clay pots.) I will also give them the morning star.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Your carrying them will be very strong. You will overcome the towns and no one will be able to resist you.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “like the authority my Father gave me. So no one will be able-to-defeat them but rather they will thoroughly defeat those who don’t acknowledge their authority as if they are smashing a clay-jar with iron.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “‘He will exercize far-from-ordinary control like he has a rod (lit. thing to hit with) of iron. It’s like he will smash them like what is done by a worker of clay.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “My Father gave me my position, I now will give you your positions. But very strong is the power I will give you. If the people do not do what you tell them to do, you will do the people like as though you shatter a pot with an iron rod.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
