Following are a number of back-translations of Titus 2:10:
- Uma: “and they should not pilfer/quietly-take things of their nobles. They must always be-careful-of their character, so that their nobles can see that they can be trusted. Because if the character of Kristen slaves is like that, all people will praise our teaching which says God is the King who lifted/lifts us from the punishment of our sins.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “They ought not to steal from their masters but they should show that they are really trustworthy and are straight people so that the people will like our (incl.) teaching about God who rescues/saves us (incl.).” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “and they must not steal, rather they must show their masters that they are trustworthy. If that is the behaviour of believing servants, people will understand that the doctrine which we (dual) teach about God who is our Saviour is true.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “or be taking from their possessions, but rather they should always show that they are thoroughly trustworthy so that because of all that they do, what is being taught about God who saves us will be praised/honored.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “And it’s really not possible/acceptable to be furtively-taking whatever possession of their master, but rather to show in all their actions that they can really be trusted. Because therein people will comprehend that what we teach is good after all concerning God who is the origin of our salvation.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Not one thing are they to steal. Always they must do what is good in order that the word of God our Savior may appear to be good.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
