• Yakan: “There was a silversmith, his name was Demetiri. He was making miniature-houses of silver in the shape of the prayer-house of their female god named Artemis. Demetiri and the men working for him, they earned much money in that work.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “There was a person who was a craftsman named Demetrius.

• Kankanaey: “Because there was a man named Demetrius who was skilled in metal-working silver/coins. Many also were those he salaried to make pretend temples (i.e. images, carvings) of the woman who was their god Artemis, and large also were their profits.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “The one who was the start of it all was Demetrio. He was a metal-worker, who had many personnel who were metal-workers too, who were makers of little images of the worship-place there in Efeso of their pretend god Diana.

Following are a number of back-translations of Acts 19:26:

• Uma: “But you see and you hear what that man named Paulus over there [out of sight] is doing. He says that images made by men are not appropriate to worship. Many are the people he has persuaded to the point that they believe in his teaching. Not only in Efesus, in almost all the province of Asia it is just like that.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “You have seen and you have heard what that man named Paul has done. He teaches that if a god is made by man, it is reportedly not a true god. And many already believe in this teaching of his, not only here in Epesus but almost throughout Asiya.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Surely you have seen and heard what this man who is named Paul is doing. He says that as for gods that are made by people, it is not proper to worship them. Many people have believed what he is saying, and not only here in our village of Ephesus but rather also in the whole of our province of Asia.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “We have also been seeing Pablo, and we have been hearing what he is teaching to the many-people. He says that what a person has made is not a true god, and many are the ones he has persuaded here in Efeso and in almost all towns in the province Asia.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “But, now, you can observe and hear news of the things this person named Pablo is doing. He is saying that our worship of gods made by man is worthless/ineffective.

Following are a number of back-translations of Acts 19:27:

• Uma: “So, relatives, we are afraid lest there be nobody who wants to buy the images that we make from silver. Not only that, but maybe our house of worship to Artemis also will not be paid-attention-to any more, to the point that the name of Artemis who is so powerful will no longer be honored. [And we don’t want that,] For that anitu of ours is worshipped by all the people in Asia and all around the world.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Therefore our (incl.) work is in danger perhaps it will be criticized/put-down by the people,’ he said. ‘And it might also be that including the prayer-house of our (incl.) prominent god will no longer be honored in the liver (of men). At present Artemis is worshiped by all the people throughout Asiya and including the whole world. But there is danger her prominence will go down,’ Demetiri said.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of this perhaps people might become disgusted with this work of ours. And not only that, as for our great god Artemisa, perhaps people might think that there is no use in her church, and perhaps her fame will also be dissipated. She is the one who is worshipped by all the people in Asia and everyone in all the world.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Surely if this work of ours is spoken-evil-of, in-the-future indeed (prophetic formula) there will be no buyers. And not only this, but rather indeed the temple of our high god Artemis will come-to-be-of-no account. Even Artemis herself whom they worship in the many-towns here in the province Asia and as-far-as the entire world, her godhood will also be ruined (sympathy particle).'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Therefore, if we just leave it alone, before long, it’s not only this livelihood of ours which will become disgusting in the eyes of everyone, but on the contrary even the worship-place of our praiseworthy god Diana, it will become worthless/ineffective. Well what will come of that is, her praiseworthiness will then be belittled/insulted, she who is worshipped by all people, not only here in this province of Asia, but on the contrary in all the world/lands here under the heavens.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
