Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 9:20:
- Uma: “But the rest of the people who were not killed with those plagues earlier, they still did not repent from their evil deeds. They did not repent from their killing, sorcery, doing wrong [has a sexual connotation], or their stealing. They also did not give up worshipping demons and things made by their own hands, like idols that are made from gold or silver of brass or from wood. Those idols, they do not see, they do not hear, they also do not walk.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “But the people who were left over, the people who did not die by those disasters did not regret and leave their worshiping the idols they had made. They still worshiped the demons and the idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood and which cannot see, cannot hear and cannot walk.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And the rest of the people, all who were not killed by the harmful horses, they did not give up their worshipping idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood which they had made. These idols cannot see, cannot hear, and also cannot walk. They also did not give up their worshipping demons.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “But the people who were left who didn’t die from that-aforementioned hardship, they still didn’t turn-their-backs-on their worshipping the spirits and the idols they themselves had made out of gold, silver, copper, stone and wood. They didn’t turn-their-backs-on-(them) even though those-aforementioned gods of theirs, they were not able-to-see, not able-to-hear and not able-to-walk.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “But even though it was like that now, those people who were left who weren’t killed by that punishment of killing, they didn’t indeed give up their serving of familiar-spirits. And they also didn’t give up their worship of their pretend gods which they’d made, the images made of gold, silver, bronze/copper, stone and wood, which could indeed not see, hear or walk.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Yet the people who survived, not having died from these deaths did not want to turn their hearts to separate from their idols. Rather they continued worshiping evil spirits. They continued worshiping the idols of gold or of silver or of bronze or of stone or of wood. And these idols which the people worship cannot walk, their eyes do not see, they do not hear when people address them.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
