  • Yakan: “‘Or’, said Isa, ‘for example there is a woman who has ten gold coins (dublun now only used as jewelry) and-then she loses one, what does she do? Certainly she will light a lamp and sweep the house searching very well as long as she hasn’t found it.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And there was another parable that Jesus told them; he said, ‘There was a woman who was saving ten silver coins which were very expensive because they were all silver.

And then she sweeps her house and she carefully looks for it until she finds it.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Jesus continued parabling, ‘Now supposing there is a woman who has ten coins and (unexpected development particle) she lost one, what will she do? She will light a torch/light and will thoroughly sweep her house searching-and-searching until she finds it, isn’t that so?” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “‘Like that too,’ said Jesus, ‘supposing there is a woman who had ten pieces of hard money, each one being worth a day’s wages, and then suddenly/enexpectedly one was lost, what will she do? Isn’t it so that she will light a lamp? She will sweep the house well for she will search thoroughly for it until she finds it.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
