Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 6:8:

• Uma: “But if that land has nothing but sword-grass and thorns growing-on-it, it has no use. It will be cursed by God, and in the end be burned up.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “But if the field has only cogon-grass growing on it and thorns (sampinit) it has no value. This field will soon be ‘wrathed’ by God/effected by the wrath of God and will finally be burned.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “However, if there is land that the only thing that will grow there are thorns and weeds, it has no value and it’s abandoned and it’s burned over by the owner. And the same way also, the person like this land, he will be punished by God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “But the bad soil where-weeds and thorns -grow is useless, so it is not long before (lit. and) God will punish it because he will burn it.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “But well, suppposing only weeds and thorny plants sprout there, because what was planted was not looked-after-well, of course the owner will now curse it and burn it because it has no usefulness. Like that also, God will curse and punish all the people who make-themselves-like this earth/ground.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “But the field that absorbs well the rain and only produces thorns will be burned because it is of no value. This represents the people whom God will punish.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 7:20:

• Uma: “More than that, Yesus became a priest with God’s oath/swearing. Other priests were not appointed [lit., lifted] to be priests with an oath.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “More-so because God swore. God did not swear for the other priests when they were made priests.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And that’s not all, because this new way is very much better for when God made Jesus a priest, He also made Him a promise. But when that priests who are descendants of Levi were made priest long ago, God did not make them a promise.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Another advantage (lit. distinguishing-place) of Jesus’ priesthood is that there is something that God swore to him when he became a priest, because God said, ‘I the Lord God, I swear that you (sing.) are a priest forever. My mind will absolutely never-be-changed.’ But when the descendants of Levi became priests, God didn’t swear anything.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Here is further evidence that this new way/trail is superior. For when Jesus was made a priest, God who set him up furthermore made a vow. He did not make a vow when those other priests were set up in the past.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “God himself promised that Jesus Christ would be priest.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 9:11:

• Uma: “But at this time, Kristus has arrived as/becoming the Big Priest who brings goodness [salvation] that we will get in the future . He has entered into the Worship Tent that is in heaven, which is better and more holy than the Worship Tent that Musa built long ago. For the worship house that Kristus entered is not one made by mankind–its meaning: not from/of this world.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “But Almasi has already come and he is high priest of the new covenant that is here with us (incl.) already. And the place where he priests/works as priest is much better and has no fault for it is not a house for worship made by mankind because this house is not here on earth.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And now Christ has come and he has become a high priest with respect to this new way which is better than the old way. And he has entered into a better and a greater church which was not made by people because it’s not here on the earth.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “And now Cristo has already come to become our highest priest, and we are-enjoying the good blessings based on the new agreement that he finalized. And his serving-place which is the exact location of God in heaven, it is more valuable and superior to the Holiest Room in the Tent, because it is not people who made it and neither is it earthly (i.e. on this earth).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “But well, now, Cristo has-been-caused-to-come-down, and he has been set up as Most-important Priest of this much better initiated-agreement. His serving-place is in that Far-from-ordinary Worshipping-place which has no equal. This Worshipping-Place, it is much more praiseworthy than their worshipping-place in the past because it wasn’t just people who made it and it is not here in the world but rather really in heaven.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “But now Christ has come, that person who became our high priest. And this one brought us the good which had to come. There at the church where Christ works as the high priest, it is supremely good. It is not like the church which is here on the earth which people have made.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
