Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:23:

• Uma: “They refused to worship God who lives on-and-on without changing. They worshipped idols [pinotau] that they made in the likeness of men who will die. They worship(ed) idols that look like birds or snakes or other animals.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “They do not honor God the one who does not die. That is what they honor images/statues of human beings who die and images of birds, images of animals, and images of what crawls on-top-of the earth.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For they don’t worship the true, powerful God who has no death, but rather the things that they worship are images they make to look like people who have death, or like birds, or like animals, or like snakes.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because what they have been worshipping is not God who never-dies but rather the idols (lit. imitation gods) they have made that resemble the appearance of people who die and things-that-fly, walk and crawl.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Because these people do not praise God, he who is supreme and will never die. These people praise idols which have faces like people, who just pass to nothing. They make idols which are birds, they make idols which are snakes, they make idols which are animals with four feet, saying that these are gods.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
