complete verse (Philippians 1:18)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 1:18:

  • Uma: “But even so, it doesn’t matter to me. Because no matter what, whether with wrong intentions or with true intentions, the News of Kristus is preached! That is what makes my heart glad. And I will keep on being glad,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “But it doesn’t matter! (lit. not now cause-what) (Whether) the reason is good or not, if only it is being preached about Isa Almasi, I am already very glad/joyful.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “However, surprisingly, I rejoice in their work because whether their purpose is good or bad, it doesn’t matter as long as Christ is honored.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But it’s-OK-if they’re doing that, because whether their intentions are good or bad, as-long-as that which is concerning Cristo is being preached, I am happy just the same.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “But well, I’m not bothered about that which they are doing like that. I am able to be happy anyway. For whether good or not good is in their mind/inner-being, (never mind) as long as Cristo is being taught about. Yes indeed, that makes me happy, and I will continue to be happy,” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “But this all is not important, whether with their hearts they speak of Christ or not. However it is, Christ is preached, and because of that I rejoice. And even more I will rejoice.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
