Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 12:22:
- Uma: “But you, relatives, you have no longer face a mountain which is like that. God speaks to you from heaven with the lips of his Child. [This is not really implicit information, but rather a summary statement for 22-24.] You face Sion Mountain and the village of Yerusalem that is in heaven, that is dwelt in by God who Lives. You face thousands of angels who are joyfully gathered.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “But you now, you have come-close to the Mount Siyon, and to the town where the living God is. That is the town Awrusalam in heaven and there are thousands of angels there.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “But as for us (incl.) by contrast, it’s not like that, our getting close to God, because it’s as if we are coming near to the mountain of Zion, where the town of God who has no death is. That is the town of Jerusalem in Heaven, where are gathered the rejoicing thousands of angels of God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “But as for us, we have approached the mountain Zion which is the Jerusalem that is in heaven. We have approached the city of the living God which is also the place of many-thousands of angels who are being-happy-together in praising/worshipping him.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “But as for us, what we (emph) have approached is, the Hill of Sion, that being the city of God who is alive without ending, that Jerusalem which is in heaven which is the dwelling-place of an innumerable number of angels who worship him very-happily.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “But as for us, we are going to the mountain Zion there in heaven on which is the city where God is. This is the Jerusalem which is in heaven. There it cannot be counted how many thousands of angels live there.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
