complete verse (Romans 9:22)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 9:22:

  • Uma: “So also with God: he has the authority to do/make what he desires with us men. Actually, God is willing to show-anger-at evil people and show his power, because they are fit to be punished forever. But even so, he is still patient with those people that it is appropriate for him to get angry at.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Likewise God also, he is able to rule whatever he wants to do to human-beings. Even if God is angry with the people who are sinful and he wants to punish them and he wants to show his power yet he first holds-back/endures his anger and he no longer punishes them even though they deserve to be punished.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Just like that also is what God did at the time when He was about to show His anger and His powerful punishment, He decided that He would endure for awhile His anger toward the people that He should have punished.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “It’s the same with God. He has the right to do what he wants. If he wants to show his power and his hatred for sin by punishing the people who deserve to be punished, that’s his authority/right. But he was-patient-with them” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “And God wants that people should better know that he alone has power and that they should better know that he will punish the people who commit sin. Therefore he endured the people who deserved to go to punishment.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
