complete verse (Philippians 1:7)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 1:7:

  • Uma: “It is very fitting for me to consider/think-of you all like that, relatives, because I love you, because you are all one-work with me in the work that God gave to me. You continually help me, both while I am in prison here, and when I was giving my defense [lit., saying my straightness] and making clear that the Good News is true.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “It is right/fitting for me to think of you, because you are here in my liver. For whether I proclaim or defend/take-sides-for the good news and even at the time when/that I am here in prison you are together with me/following me in the work that God has given me because you are helping me.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “It is proper for me to think this way about you, for whether I am a prisoner or not a prisoner, and whether I am spreading the Good News or whether I am answering the enemies of the word of God, you are always precious here in my breath because you are all favored by God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “And of course it is right/proper if that’s what I am thinking about you, because I am continually calling-you -to-mind. Because of course you experienced-with-(me) God’s mercy/grace and help to me in my imprisonment and so also in my confirming the truth of the good news concerning Cristo.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Of course, my regarding/treatment of you is like that because I really hold you very dear. Because in this situation of mine of being in prison, and in this work of ours which is standing up for and testifying to the Good News, we are alike in being helped by the grace/mercy of God. And you are sharing with me the help he is gracing you with.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “It is right that I lovingly think of you because concerning us all, God has done us the favor of giving us the job of spreading his word. And whether I am in jail or whether I am taken before the judge here as I defend the Good News, I give my testimony that it is the truth.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
