Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 9:15:

• Uma: “Just remember the words of God to the prophet Musa long ago that say: ‘I myself am the one that decides whom I will show my love to and whom I will love.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “But/instead God is the one who rules whom he chooses (and) makes his people. He said/says to Musa, ‘I am the one who rules/governs whom I will pity/have mercy on. I am the one who rules as to whom I will have compassion for (lit. emotionally-stirred liver).'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because God said long ago to Moses, ‘I am the one who will say who I will have pity on and who will be precious in my breath,’ He said.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “God had the authority to do that, because God said to Moses, ‘I will show-mercy to whom I want to show-mercy.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “God said to Moses: ‘Whoever I determine to pity, that one I will pity and be kind to him.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
