Following are a number of back-translations of John 1:42:
- Uma: “And he accompanied him going to Yesus. Yesus looked at Simon, and he said to him: ‘You (sing.) are Simon son of Yohanes. But beginning from this time, you (sing.) will be called/named Kefas.’ (The name ‘Kefas’ in the Yahudi language, it is the same as the name ‘Petrus’ in the Yunani language. It means: rock.)” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Then he brought Simon to Isa. Isa looked straight at Simon and said, ‘You are Simon, your father’s name is Yahiya. But I call you Kepas.’ (This name Kepas is the same as the name Petros, it means, rock.)” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And he took Simon and they went to Jesus. And Jesus, he looked at Simon. ‘You are Simon the son of John. I title you Cephas,’ said Jesus. (The title Cephas is the same as the name Peter, and the meaning of that is ‘stone’.)” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then he escorted Simon to where Jesus was. Jesus looked-closely at him and said, ‘You (sing.) are Simon the child of Juan. You (sing.) will be nicknamed Cefas.’ (This name, it is the same as Pedro and its meaning is stone.)” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “He had Simon go with him to Jesus.When they had arrived, Jesus looked-closely at Simon and spoke. He said, ‘Your name now is Simon, son of Juan. But you will be named Cefas.’ (Cefas is Pedro in the Griego-language.)” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Andrew took his brother to Jesus. When Jesus saw him, he said, ‘You are Simon, the son of Jonas. Now you will be called Cephas and also Peter.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
