complete verse (Revelation 9:21)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 9:21:

  • Uma: “But the rest of the people who were not killed with those plagues earlier, they still did not repent from their evil deeds. They did not repent from their killing, sorcery, doing wrong [has a sexual connotation], or their stealing. They also did not give up worshipping demons and things made by their own hands, like idols that are made from gold or silver of brass or from wood. Those idols, they do not see, they do not hear, they also do not walk.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “They did not stop doing their bad deeds. They still killed and they did not stop practicing sorcery towards their companions. They still practised illicit sex and stole.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “They also did not give up their murdering, their witchcraft, their vulgar deeds, and their stealing.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Neither did they repent of the other evil they had been doing such as their killing people, their calling-the-spirits-to-harm-people and acting-as-spirit-mediums, their sleeping with someone not their spouse, and their stealing.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Those people really didn’t repent of what they were doing which was killing, occult-magic, immoral-behavior with one not their spouse and stealing.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “They did not want to leave how they were walking. They continued to kill. They continued to practice magic. They continued to fornicate. They continued to steal.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
