Following are a number of back-translations of Titus 2:12:

• Uma: “From his grace, he taught us to stop our behavior that he does not like and the desires of our hearts that we followed before we believed in him. He taught us to make-clear our hearts, make-upright our character and to submit to him while we still living in this world.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “From/through that love and mercy of his God teaches us (incl.) that we (incl.) ought not to indulge in our (incl.) greedy desires and to abandon everything that cannot bring us (incl.) towards God. Our (incl.) thoughts should be very good and we (incl.) should be straight people. We (incl.) also ought to follow/obey all God’s commands as long as we (incl.) are here on earth” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And by means of that kindness, we can understand that it is necessary that we abandon the behavior which does not please God and the fulfilling of the desires of our (dual) bodies here on the earth. It is necessary that we restrain our evil desires. It is also necessary that our behavior while we are still living here on the earth is righteous and pleasing to God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because of this grace/mercy of his, he is teaching us to turn-our-backs-on all that distances us from him and all that worldly people desire in order that we will control ourselves and we will follow righteous and godly behavior while we are present in this world.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Well this grace/mercy of God is what causes us to comprehend that it’s necessary that we drop/give-up whatever is contrary to his will. It’s necessary that we drop/give-up the desires which are not good which are indulged in by those who haven’t believed. It/he also causes us to comprehend that it’s necessary for us to control ourselves, to live righteous/straight lives, which are always in harmony with the will of God as long as we are still here under the heavens.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Because he gave us grace, now it is wanted that we separate from evil. Also the desires here on earth which are bad, let us separate from. Now it is necessary that while we live here in the world, we must watch ourselves well. We must live good. We must revere God.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
