Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 7:28:

• Uma: “But if an unmarried-man wants to get married [lit., be-wived], it isn’t a sin for him. And if an unmarried-woman wants to get married [be-husbanded], it isn’t a sin for her. But just this: people who are married [coupled] will certainly have troubles in this world. And my desire is that you not be hit by those troubles.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “But if you take a wife you don’t sin. And the young unmarried women also if they take a husband they don’t sin. This is the reason why I say that it is better if you don’t take a wife or a husband because I would like you not to experience the difficulties/troubles that the people have who have a wife or a husband.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And if a man gets married, that’s not a sin; and if a woman gets married, the same way also that’s not a sin. The reason that I tell you that it’s better if you don’t get married is because when you get married what happens to you here on the earth is very hard, and I am anxious that you don’t have to go through things like that.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “But if you (sing.) get-married, it’s certainly not a sin. It’s the same with you (sing.) who are a young-lady, it’s not a sin for you (sing.) to get-married. But I say nonetheless that it’s still better if you don’t get-married, because I want you not to be hardshipped by the hardship that a married-couple experiences in this life.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “However if you do marry, you have not sinned. Like that also with the woman you are-arranged-to-marry, if she lets herself be married by you that is not her sin. But more are the difficulties and worries/concerns of those who are married. If only you weren’t married, your concerns and hardships in your life wouldn’t increase.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “But if one should marry, it is not then a sinful thing he does. The girl who gets married, likewise does not do a sinful thing. The thing is, the people who marry do not lack for troubles which unmarried people do not have. I tell you this word because I do not want that you meet up with the troubles which married people have.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 9:7:

• Uma: “No soldier pays his own salary to go to war. A person who farms, it is fitting he eat the fruit of his farming. A person who herds sheep, it is fitting they drink the milk of their herd.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “For example, is there a soldier in the army who is not given his living expenses? Is there a person who plants (farmer) and has no authority to eat the fruit of what he planted? And the person looking after animals has he no authority to get his share?” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For example, a soldier — is it possible that he’s not given his ration? It cannot be. It also cannot be that the one who owns the plants cannot eat of the fruit of his plants; and in the same way also, the one who watches over a flock because he also is able to receive his share.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Kindly think whether there is a soldier who is responsible for his own expenses and wages. Is there also perhaps a farmer who has no right to eat what he harvests? Or is there someone who takes-care-of sheep who has no right to drink-some of their milk if he so desires? There-is-none.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “For which soldier serves at his own expense? Which farmer cannot avail himself of the fruit of his plants that he took-devoted-care-of? Which shepherd of sheep cannot avail himself of the milk of those which he is looking after? None, of course.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “How about a soldier, doesn’t he get what he needs from the work he works at, or does he have to earn money separately to pay his expenses? How about a man who makes a grape garden, can’t he eat what comes out of that work? How about a man who cares for sheep, can’t he drink the milk from milking them?” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

• Kankanaey: “Therefore the one who thinks/says his faith is strong, he should be-careful lest he sin.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Therefore let anyone be-wary-of-danger who, in his mind/inner-being, is sure that he can stand in well-grounded belief, for maybe very soon he also will be defeated by Satanas and fall into big sin.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Therefore the one who says he never will sin must take care very good that he does not commit sin. Because our ancestors committed sins.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

• Kankanaey: “But remember that in your being-joined-to the Lord Jesus, the woman cannot say that she doesn’t need the man. Neither can the man say that he doesn’t need the woman, because they both need-each-other.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
