complete verse (Romans 15:16)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 15:16:

  • Uma: “He raised me up to be a servant of Kristus Yesus, he made me his apostle [messenger] to the people who are not Jews. And that work of mine can be compared to the work of a priest, because I announce the Good News to people who are not Jews, and those who believe in the Lord Yesus I treat like an offering that I offer to God. And that offering of mine certainly is received by God, because the Holy Spirit makes them holy and makes them the portion of God.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “I am figuratively like a priest proclaiming the good news from God to the tribes/nations (who are) not Yahudi in order that I could give them/hand-them-over to God figuratively like an offering. And God receives them because their livers were made good by God’s Spirit.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “to be a messenger of Jesus Christ to you people who aren’t Jews. It’s as if I am a priest, because by means of me people believe, and they can be my sacrifice which by means of their being made clean by the Holy Spirit, God will accept.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “in order that I might serve Cristo Jesus in my teaching the Gentiles. Because I am like a priest in my preaching the good news from God so that there will be Gentiles whom I will show to him as an offering with which he is pleased whom the Holy Spirit has made-into his holy people.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “God gave me this work that I speak the word of Jesus Christ there where the people who are not Jews live. I tell God’s good news so that concerning the people who are not Jews, I will present them to God as though they were a sacrifice given to God. And God will look well upon these believers because the Holy Spirit has now made them God’s people.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
