Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 18:14:
- Noongar: “‘I tell you,’ Jesus said, ‘when the two men go back home, this tax collector is right in the sight of God and not this Pharisee. All people putting themselves high, they will be put down, and all people putting themselves down, they will be put up.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “From there, Yesus finished his words, he said: ‘Truly I say to you: when they went home, that tax collector was the one who had been made straight in God’s sight, not that Parisi person. Because all who are proud [lit, make their hearts high], the Lord God makes them low/humble. And all who are humble [lit., make their hearts low], the Lord God makes them high.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “I tell you,’ said Isa, ‘that this person went home being considered straight/righteous by God but not the Pariseo was the straight one. For whoever makes himself great will be put down, and whoever puts himself down/humbles himself will be made great.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus said, ‘True I say to you that as for that tax-collector, when he went home to his house, God no longer thought about his sin because it was already forgiven. However, it was not like that with this boastful Pharisee because the person who thinks that he is very high before God, God will lower him; but the person who knows that he is very much a sinner, God will make him high.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then Jesus concluded by saying, ‘I tell you that the one whom God counted-as righteous when they went-home, it was this person not the Pharisee. Because the one who causes himself to be made high will be brought low just the same, but the one however who lowers himself, he will be made-high.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “What I will say to you really is true, that as for that person, he went home being regarded by God as straight/righteous, for his sins were forgiven. But as for that Pariseo, he didn’t. Because it’s true, whoever is arrogant/self-important with be made low/unimportant, but the humble will be made important/high.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
