Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Thessalonians 2:16:
- Uma: “For the Yahudi people continually hinder/block our road so that we will not announce the news that brings goodness [salvation] to people who are not Yahudi. So, because of all those deeds of the Yahudi people, their sins have become just too many, and in the end they received [or: will receive] the anger of God.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “because we (excl.) are opposed by them so that we (excl.) would not be able to proclaim the good news to the tribes that are not Yahudi.

- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “it’s as if they are the enemies of all mankind, for they trouble us so that we might not spread the Word of God which is the means by which the people who are not Jews can be freed from punishment.

That’s why the time has been reached when the anger of God will really strike them (lit. their body).” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
