complete verse (Romans 1:25)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:25:

  • Uma: “The true teaching of God they rejected, it was just lying teaching that they believed. They refused to worship the Creator; living things that God created, those are what they worshipped and what they submitted to. Yet actually the Creator is the one who is appropriate/worthy to be worshipped by us forever. Amin!” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “They do not believe the truth about God but that is what they believe what is not true. God is the one who created everything but they do not honor him and they do not follow/obey him. What they do honor are the things which he has created. But God is the one who ought to be praised forever. Amin.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “They will not believe the truth about God, but rather they believe lies. They worship and they subject themselves to things which are only created, rather than the creator. May He be praised forever by people.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “That’s what they are doing because they have turned-their -backs-on the truth concerning God in order that the lie is what they obey. Because what they have been worshipping and serving, it is what God has created, not God the creator. This God is the one who deserves to be worshipped forever. That’s so.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “These are the people who did not want to believe the true word in order to know about God. Rather it is what is a lie that they believe. But the people do not worship God, he who made all things there are. Rather the things which God made are what the people worship. And these are what they honor. But about him who truly is God, only he is it proper to be worshipped forever. Amen.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
