complete verse (Romans 14:22)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 14:22:

  • Uma: “If we believe that that behavior of ours is not wrong, we can hold in our heart that belief of ours in front of God. We are blessed, relatives, if we do what we say is good in our own hearts, and our hearts do not criticize us.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Whatever you (pl.) believe about this, it should only be you (pl.) and God who are the ones who know it. Whoever does not doubt but he is sure that his doing hits-the-mark/is right, that person is really/very glad/joyful.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And whatever you believe about this, don’t let any of your companions know because God is the one who is in charge of you. How far better off is the person whose breath does not rebuke him for his behavior.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Whatever each one believes concerning this, it would be best not to tell it to his companions but rather he should count it as something for only him and God to know (lit. his and God’s seed). Fortunate is the person whose conscience doesn’t accuse him because of what he has decided is the right thing for him to do.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “You must not argue with your brothers about what you eat. You believe that all is good to eat, and God knows what you are doing. Now the good fortune is encountered by the believer who knows well in his heart that he is doing what is good and does not think that it is sinful concerning what he does.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
