Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 6:2:
- Uma: “Don’t, relatives! It is not appropriate [lit., it does not hit the way] if we keep on sinning, because we can say that we have died together with Kristus in order that our connection with sin be severed.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Really no! This is the truth about sinning, when we (incl.) already trust Isa Almasi it is if we (incl.) were dead people no longer able to sin. Therefore we (incl.) no longer want to sin.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now that cannot be because it’s not possible that we continue doing evil, because evil behavior has nothing more to do with us. For we are like a dead person whose former way of life has gone from him.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “It absolutely is not possible! Because as concerns sin, we have already died, so we cannot continue to sin.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “As to that, we cannot so continue. Rather we have finished with the sin we did. Who is it that can say that we continue to commit sin then?” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
- Chicahuaxtla Triqui: “Let’s not sin any more because like as a corpse who has died can’t sin any more, so it is with us. So let’s not keep right on sinning any more.”
- Tabasco Chontal: “When we accepted Christ, we were left as you might say a dead person, where sin is done. Because a dead person is not able to keep on doing sin. We also, there is no reason why we should keep on doing sin.” (Source for this and above: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 8:11:
- Uma: “God brought Jesus back to life by the power of the Holy Spirit, and it is that Holy Spirit also who dwells in our hearts. So, even though our bodies will die, God will certainly bring our bodies back to life by the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in our hearts.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “If it is true the Holy Spirit is there dwelling in your liver, God will cause you (pl.) also to be alive like he caused Isa Almasi to be alive from his death.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for God, He is the one who raised Jesus Christ. And if the Holy Spirit whom He sent, lives here in us, then we will also be raised from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit that lives here with us.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Another-thing, God is the one who made-Cristo -alive again, so if his Spirit is in you, he will also make-alive your bodies that die because of the Holy Spirit who stays in you.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “It is God who caused that Christ resurrected when he had died. He also will cause that our bodies will resurrect after we have died. Because we now walk with the Holy Spirit.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
- Tabasco Chontal : “God raised up Jesus from the dead. If his Holy Spirit is in you, just like God raised up Jesus, in the same way God will cause to live also your bodies which will die. He is going to raise your bodies because his Holy Spirit is in you.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
- Kupsabiny: “And when a person has the Holy Spirit who made Jesus to resurrect from the dead, that same Spirit will make that person to resurrect and will give him a new life.” (Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Bariai: “God lifted back Jesus from his death. And so if God’s Straight Spirit is living in your interiors, then he’s going to lift you back from your death also, similarly as he lifted back Christ from his death. He’s going to do like this by the Straight Spirit’s power who is living in your interiors.” (Bariai Back Translation)
