complete verse (Romans 1:16)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:16:

  • Uma: “I am not ashamed to take/carry the Good News. For the Good News is God’s power to give goodness/salvation to all people who believe. First the Good News was announced to the Jews, but now it is also announced to people who are not Jews.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “I really am not ashamed to proclaim the good news about Isa Almasi. Because/for all who believe this good news, beginning with the Yahudi and up to the non-Yahudi, there is the power of God which frees them from their sin.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “My trust in the Good News is very big, because if anybody believes in this beginning with Jewish people and extending to non-Jews, he will be freed from punishment by means of the great power of God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Because I am absolutely not ashamed to tell the good news, because this is the evidence of God’s power to save all who believe. It was made-known first to the Jews, after that to the Gentiles.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I am not ashamed to speak this good news. Because this word walks with the power of God for saving all the people who believe this word. The same for the Jews and those who are not Jew, their lives will be saved upon believing the word.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
  • Central Mazahua: “The good new words of Christ don’t cause me to be ashamed. When people hear through these words, God works powerfully in order that their hearts will be healed, all those who will believe-obey. First will listen-obey, will be healed their hearts the Jews, then those who are not Jews.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
