complete verse (Romans 1:26)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:26:

  • Uma: “So, because they refused to worship him, that’s why he just allowed them to follow the shameful desires of their heart. Even women no longer behaved like the behavior of ordinary mankind. The women wived [i.e., married or had intercourse with, normally used of men to women] other fellow women.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Therefore God abandoned them to do shameful things indulging/giving-into the desire of their bodies. Even the women do not like/want a man. That is what they want their fellow female and/so-that they do evil/bad. But this is not right/proper.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And since people pay no attention to God, He also pays no attention to them so that they might carry out their very ugly desires. Even the women, it’s no longer men that they sleep with, but they become sexually aroused by other women.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “That’s the reason God has let-them-alone so that they do the shameful-things their bodies desire. Even the women, they have changed what their bodies properly desire so that it’s their fellow women whom they sleep-with, not men.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Therefore God gives the road to the people to do the shameful things they walk by. The women do not want to marry and live with husbands, rather with their fellow women they do shameful things.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
  • Chicahuaxtla Triqui: “Therefore God abandoned them that they should do ugly things like their hearts wanted them to do. The women left off talking with the men [polite term for intercourse] and they talked among themselves in a very dirty way.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
