complete verse (Jude 1:8)

Following are a number of back-translations of Jude 1:8:

  • Uma: “Even though God’s punishing of people whose deeds were evil long ago was thus, still evil anyway are the deeds of those who carry false teaching at this time. They are absorbed thinking about their wrong teachings, and those wrong teachings cause them to dirty themselves with their wrong [immoral] deeds. They do not pay-attention-to / respect the authority of God, and they disparage all the powerful ones in heaven.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Na, likewise also the people I talked about, the ones who mix in with you. Reportedly they have dreamed something and because they follow that, they indulge the greedy-desires of their bodies. They don’t want to be ruled by God. They talk-bad-about/insult up-to/including the angels in heaven.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “It’s the same way also with those people who teach lies among you. They carry out filthy behaviour which they say was taught to them by means of a dream. They will not submit themselves to God, and they speak in rejection against the supernatural powers in heaven.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But like that nonetheless is what these who teach what isn’t true are doing. They can-be-compared to one who dreams, because it’s as if they don’t know what they are doing. They defile themselves (lit. cause-their bodies -to-be dirtied), they don’t acknowledge/respect those who are higher than they, and they speak-evil-of angels.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Like that indeed are these people who have gotten in with you. Because of their dreams, they cause bodies to fall(fig.) into sin. They are disobedient, not acknowledging those in authority. And they even insult/belittle the ones whose praiseworthiness/glory is very high.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Like I am telling you, these false teachers who live there where you are act similarly. They close their eyes (= have visions) saying that it was disclosed to them that they can do things which ruin their bodies. They say it is not true that God has the authority, they speak evil of those who have supreme authority.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
