Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 4:1:

• Uma: “Like this, relatives: for instance there is a nobleman’s child. All his fathers stuff, he will own it all. But when he is still small, he is still treated like a slave.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “What I said can also be exampled like this. For example there is a child, an only child and his father dies. He is now the owner of the wealth left-behind by his father. But while he is yet a child it is as if he were just a slave/servant.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For example, there is a child of a chief and his father died while he was still a child. And even though he is the one who will inherit all of the possessions of his dead father, while he is still a child he is only like a servant, because there is still someone who is in charge of him. There is someone who takes care of him who also cares for his possessions until the time comes, set by his father, then he at last will receive the authority to be in charge of his possessions.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Here is yet another illustration about what I’ve been saying. If there is a child who will inherit his father’s possessions, but his years are still lacking, it’s as if he has no distinction-from/advantage-over a slave, even though he is the owner of all his father’s wealth.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Here’s something else I will draw an illustration from. Supposing there is a certain rich person who dies prematurely when his only child is still small. This child of his, the day will come when he will own everything in the household. But even though it’s like that, as long as he is not yet old enough, there is no difference in his situation and the situation of the slaves in that household.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “You know that when a boy who is to receive an inheritance is just a child, he is like one of the workers even though he is the owner of all.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 4:12:

• Uma: “Galatian relatives! I request that you do follow my behavior. For although I am a Yahudi person, I have let-go-of following the Yahudi customs so I could become like you who are not Yahudi people. Your treatment of me the other day [lit., yesterday] was very good.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “My brothers who trust in Isa Almasi, I ask/petition you, you should be like I am, because since I trusted Isa, I no longer trust in the law of the Yahudi religion. But I am like you the not Yahudi. And you have no sin towards me but/instead you treated me well/cared well for me before.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Brethren, I beg you that you behave as I behave; because as for me, a Jew, I abandoned my observing the Law of the Jews. I became like you were long who are not Jews. It’s really true that you have not sinned against me but rather, you took good care of me.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Please-be-so-kind (strong request) brothers as to follow-my -example, because I have become like you Gentiles who are free from the law of Moses. How you acted toward me back then was certainly not bad.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “I implore you, my brethren, be like me, in that I am now outside/released from the jurisdiction of the laws of my former religion. Was it not so that in the past I became like you non Jews who were not under the jurisdiction of the laws of us (excl.) Jews? Not that I bear any grudge (lit.have rust in my mind/inner-being) against you.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Listen my dear brethren, you must do like I do in that I don’t now follow the customs of the Jews. I do like you did at first. I don’t tell you that you have despised me for what I have done.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 5:13:

• Uma: “The reason God called us was so that we are / could be free. But let’s not say like this: "If we are indeed free from the Law of Musa, we can just do whatever we want." Don’t, relatives! We must love each other and help each other.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “So-then, you, my brothers, you were chosen by God so that he could free you, therefore you no longer must/ought-to follow the law. But this does not mean that because you are free, it is now possible for you to give-in/indulge in the cravings/greedy-desires of your bodies. No. But you ought to help each other because you love each other.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “So, brothers, it’s really true that we (incl.) have been chosen by God so that He might free us and it’s no longer necessary that we observe the Law. But in spite of that, we have not been freed so that the thing which is to control us is the evil desire in our body. It’s necessary that because our kindness for our companions is great, each one of us should be helpful to his fellow belivers.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “As for you, brothers, God has called you so you will be set-free. But you ought not to use your freedom as your excuse to fulfill your evil desires, but rather serve-one-another because of your loving-one-another.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “My brethren, because of God’s determined-plan, you are now outside/released from the enslavement of those laws that were entrusted to Moises. But even though it’s now like that, don’t think that it’s now possible/acceptable to indulge whatever disgusting desire of the body, but rather, through the big-size of your valuing of your companion, be serving one another.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Listen, my dear brethren, God called you in order that no more you should fear the punishment which the law says. But do not say that you can now do the evil that lights on your hearts. No, not at all. Because you love your brethren, each of you, now help each other.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
