Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 4:12:
- Uma: “So also Abraham is considered father by the Jews, because he is an example to all Jews who are circumcised and who believe in God just like Abraham did before he was circumcised.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “And Ibrahim is also like the parent of the people who have been circumcised, not just because they have been circumcised but because they also believe God like the believing of Ibrahim, the ancestor of us (excl.) Yahudi at the time when he was not yet circumcised.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Abraham has become the ancestor, which is to say, the one whom all the Jews come to be like who do not trust their circumcision but rather, the thing they are trusting is their faith, which is like the faith that Abraham had before he was circumcised.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “He is also the ancestor of Jews who have not only been circumcised but who also follow the faith of Abraham when he had not yet gotten-circumcised.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Also Abraham became as a father to all those who have been marked with the sign of circumcision. But it wasn’t just because they were marked with the sign that he became like a father to them, rather it was because they followed the faith Abraham had before he was marked.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
