Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 18:6:
- Uma: “That is why I say, do also to that village like it has done to other people. Pay it back two times more than all its evil deeds. Prepare for that village torture two times as powerful as the torture it tortured other people with.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Do to her as she did to the people. The suffering that she caused people repay double. She influenced the people to taste her bad doings, she shall also be made to feel God’s wrath double strength.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The persecution she has done to you, you do also to her, but you must double your revenge upon her. Fill her cup with the anger of God for her to drink which will make her twice as drunk as that which she caused you to drink.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Therefore she will be recompensed and properly punished for that-aforementioned evil. All that she has done to hardship people, it will-be-paid-back to her. The strength of the alcoholic-beverage that she has given-others -to-drink, exactly that will be the strength of what-is-given-her -to drink.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “For in the same way in which she caused suffering for others, she really will now be-paid-back. And not just paid back, but on the contrary twice as much will happen to her. And her cup will be filled with something extremely bitter, more bitter than what she has kept in store which she has been causing to be drunk, which means she will be caused by God to taste/try his far-from-ordinary anger.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “The angels were told then: ‘Apply the punishment now. Concerning what suffering they caused other people, make them suffer double. Concerning the strength of the wine which they gave to other people, double the strength of the wine you make them drink.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
