Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 9:3:

• Uma: “From inside that smoke swarmed grasshoppers, appearing and landing on the world. Those grasshoppers were given potent stings, like the sting of the living thing that is called tumpu lipa [worst kind of stinging centipede].” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “From the smoke there appeared locusts falling on the earth. Their biting was caused to be very poisonous as poisonous as a scorpion when it bites.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And then locusts came out of the smoke and landed on the earth. God made it so that they had a fiery sting whose pain was like the pain of one bitten by a scorpion.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “There were also locusts that came-out-with the smoke, and they descended on the earth. They were given ability to sting like a centipede.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Suddenly/unexpectedly there were many locusts which came out, coming from that smoke. They then spread all over the world here. They were given ability/means to cause suffering to the people like that of scorpions.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “In the smoke there were grasshoppers. These fell to the ground. The grasshoppers were given power to sting the people like scorpions here on earth sting.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
