Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 2:9:

• Uma: “So, those [people] Yakobus, Petrus and Yohanes, who apparently were leaders of all the Kristen people in Yerusalem, they said: "It is indeed true, Paulus has indeed been called by the Lord Yesus to become his apostle." That is why we (excl.) shook hands, Barnabas and I with them Yakobus, Petrus and Yohanes. This shaking of hands was a sign that we (excl.) were united/agreed. Our(excl.) words were the same: that they preach to the Yahudi people, and we (excl.) preach to those who are not Yahudi people.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “So then Yakub and Petros and Yahiya, they are the ones regarded as the leaders there, after/when they understood that I was commissioned by God, Barnabas and I were greeted (sinalam – take the hand then touch one’s own forehead and chest) by them, a sign that we (excl.) all had one work. We (excl.) planned/agreed that Barnabas and I proclaim to the not Yahudi tribes but/and they also/on-the-other-hand proclaim to the Yahudi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And as for James, Peter and John, those bosses there, when they understood that God had entrusted to me this work of mine, they shook our hands along with Barnabas as a sign that we (excl.) were all fellow companions in carrying out what God wants done. We (excl.) agreed that we (excl.) would be the ones to tell the news to the people who aren’t Jews and they would be the ones to tell the news to the Jews.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “but rather they agreed it was correct. Because they came-to-know that because of God’s grace/mercy, he had entrusted to me my apostleship to preach the good news to the Gentiles just like his entrusting to Pedro his apostleship to preach to the Jews. Their means-of-knowing that, it was that they saw that God had been blessing my preaching to the Gentiles just like his blessing Pedro’s work to/with the Jews. Therefore those-aforementioned who were considered to have authority who were Santiago and Pedro and Juan, they shook-hands-with Barnabas and me to show that we (excl.) exactly understood-one-another. What we (excl.) agreed-on was that Barnabas and I would continue to preach to the Gentiles while they also would continue to preach to the Jews.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Therefore, those recognized as the highest-leaders of the overseers of the believers in Jerusalem, who are Santiago, Pedro, and Juan, when they observed that by the strength of the Lord’s grace/mercy to me, my teaching among the people who were not Jews had produced good results, they accepted Bernabe and me and it was acceptable to them that we were now included with them as workers in the work of the Lord. Well we (excl.) all-agreed-together that we (excl.) would continue on with our (excl.) teaching to the people who are not Jews. Those fellow Jews of ours(excl.), they would be their (responsibility).” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Therefore these three people, James, Peter and John, who lead in Jerusalem, knew then that God wanted that the good fortune should come to me that I do this work. Then we shook hands, a sign that we were in accord concerning the work we would do. It was decided then that I would go with Barnabas to speak the good news where the people who are not Jews live. They with whom I spoke would speak the good news to the Jews.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 3:20:

• Yakan: “But when God covenanted/promised to Ibrahim, he did not command anyone. He truly really himself was the one who spoke to Ibrahim. Therefore we (dual) know that God’s covenant is greater than the law.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “However, when God promised Abraham life there was no need for an in-between chief because only one made a promise and that was God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “but as for what he promised to Abraham, he sent no one but rather he himself told it.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

• Tenango Otomi: “But when God spoke with Abraham and promised him the word, he didn’t first get a spokesman, rather he himself spoke to him.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 4:23:

• Uma: “The child who was born from the woman who was a slave, was born like an ordinary child, following the desire of man[kind]. But the child who was born from the woman who was not a slave, was born following God’s promise to Abraham.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “His child from the slave was born in the ordinary way (lit. as is done in the world). But his child from his wife (who was) not a slave was born as God’s fulfillment of his promise/covenant to Ibrahim.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The birth of the child of the woman who was a slave was just like the birth of any child; however, the birth of the other one, born by the woman who was not a slave, that could not have been if it were not promised by God to Abraham.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “The child of the slave, his birth was not amazing, but the child of his wife, he wouldn’t have been born if it weren’t due to what God promised them.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

• Tenango Otomi: “The woman who was the servant wasn’t barren, therefore she gave birth to a child. But the woman of the house was barren and then God promised Abraham that she would have a child.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
