complete verse (Romans 1:27)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:27:

  • Uma: “Men [i.e., males] did the same also: they did not wive women, but desired only their fellow men. Men did behavior that is not fitting with fellow men, and in the end they received punishment that is in keeping with that wrong behavior of theirs.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Likewise also the men no longer want/like/desire women but what they desire/want is their fellow males and/so that they do evil/bad together. Male does shameful things with male. The repayment to them matches these their evil deeds.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And in the same way also the men; it’s no longer women they sleep with but they become sexually aroused by even other men. And it’s very shameful what they do with their bodies. And by means of their wicked behavior, they destroy their bodies and this becomes a punishment for them which cannot be avoided.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “So also with the men. They have turned-their-backs-on their proper sleeping-with women so that it’s their fellow men whom they exceedingly crave to sleep-with. Therefore they are undergoing the punishment that is fitting for the filthy-things they have been doing.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Also like this the men do. They do not want to marry and live with wives. Rather they do shameful things with their fellowmen. But concerning how these people live, there is a payment in that their manner of life is all ruined.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
  • Chicahuaxtla Triqui: “And that’s what the men began to do also, because they left off talking with the women and they began to lust each one after his fellow and very ugly things they did among themselves, man with man. Therefore on account of this sin they suffer punishment because they have left the road of God.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
