Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:13:
- Uma: “Relatives, so that you know: many times I have made-plans to go visit you, but there was always something that hindered me. My intention in visiting you is so that there will be fruit of my work in your village, just as there is fruit of my work among the non-Jews in other villages.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “My brothers who trust Isa Almasi, my desire is that you know that I often planned to go-there to visit you but there was something preventing me so that I could not go-there. I want to go-there so that I can proclaim to you so that there are some people there whom I can carry/influence to follow/obey Isa Almasi like I influenced/carried people from other tribes not Jews (Yahudi).” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I want, brethren, that you should know that my desire to go there never leaves my thinking. However, I cannot yet go there because there’s something which hinders me. I want to go there because by means of my teaching, there might be some people there who will believe in Jesus just like by means of my teaching, there are some people who aren’t Jews also in other towns who have believed in him.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “My siblings/cousins (henceforth rendered brothers), I want you to know that I have often planned/decided to go see you, but until now, something has been sidetracking/preventing me. I want to visit you so that there will also be those among you there whom I persuade to believe so that it will be like what has happened to the Gentiles in other towns.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Listen brothers, I want you to know that many times I had decided to go see you. But up until now I haven’t been able to go. The reason I want to go is that I want to bring about that more people will believe in Jesus Christ like I am doing to people who live everywhere.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
