Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:14:
- Uma: “I want to visit you because I have a debt to all people, and the way I pay that debt of mine is to spread the Good News to all people, not choosing whether they dwell in villages or live-wild [i.e., live off by themselves not in villages, the Uma equivalent of saying they are not civilized.] regardless of whether they are schooled or not schooled.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “I ought/must really proclaim about Isa Almasi to all mankind no matter what his tribe/nation, to the ones who have learning and to the ignorant ones.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For it’s like I have a large debt to all mankind and the way I will pay this debt is I will preach to them about Christ. It is necessary that I preach to those who have studied and to those who have not studied. It is necessary that I preach to the wise and to those who are ignorant.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Because I am-obligated to go tell the good news to all types of people, those who are in the cities and in the mountain-areas, the educated and those with no education.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “I reckon that I must speak the good news to all people. I will speak it to those who are educated. I will speak it to those who are not educated.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
