Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 13:17:

• Uma: “They were not allowed to buy or sell if there was not that sign on their hand or their forehead. The sign of that animal was the name of the first animal or the number [Indonesian: angka] that is a figure-of-speech for his name.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Nobody could buy or sell anything if he had not been marked. That mark was the name of the first creature or a number standing for his name.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And anyone who would not let himself be marked with the mark which was the name of the first beast and the number of his name, they cannot buy and they cannot sell.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “He did that so that absolutely no person would sell or buy if he were not marked with the name of the preceding fearsome animal or the number that was the sign of his name.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “It was really not possible to buy or sell for those who didn’t have the mark/brand which was the name of that monster or the number which signifies it.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “No one could buy and no one could sell if they did not have the mark of the name of the terrible animal or of how much the number was that accompanied his name.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
