complete verse (Romans 4:17)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 4:17:

  • Uma: “There is a word of God to Abraham that says like this: ‘I will make you (sing.)the father of many people all over the world.’ In the sight of God, Abraham is/became the father of us all, for he believed in God who raises the dead to life, he believed in God who utters his words mentioning what not-yet is, with the result that it does come to be.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “This is true because it was hep written in the holy-book what God said to Ibrahim. He said, ‘You were chosen by me to be made the parent of people of many nations.’ It is certain that this promise will be fulfilled because God is the one who promised to Ibrahim. And Ibrahim believed him because he is the God who causes the dead to live and whatever he says comes into existence.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “There is a written word of God to Abraham and he says, ‘I will make you the ancestor of many kinds of people.’ And then he regarded Abraham to be the ancestor of us (incl.). All, whose faith in God is like that of Abraham’s. Now as for God, He’s the one in whom we believe and he is very powerful because he can raise the dead, and anything that has not yet taken place, He already knew about it just like it had already taken place.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Because there is a written word of God which says, ‘I will cause-you -to-become the ancestor of people in the many-countries.’ And that was fulfilled, because Abraham is the ancestor of us all in God’s sight. And this God whom he believed, he is the one who has power to make-the dead -alive and to cause-to-exist what doesn’t-exist.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Thus it comes out like the word God told Abraham when he said, ‘Listen Abraham, I will cause that you end up as a father. Because there will multiply many of your children all over the earth’, he said to him. Abraham believed what God said. Because God is able to do so that those who died will resurrect. How much easier can he cause that children will live who have not yet been born.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
