Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 9:6:
- Uma: “I the Child of Mankind, I do have authority on earth to forgive sins. But if I say: ‘Your (sing.) sins are forgiven,’ you do not know if his sins are really forgiven or not. But if I say: ‘Get up and walk,’ you will see whether it happens or not. So, I will show you that I have authority to forgive sins.’ From there, he turned to that lame person, he said to him: ‘Get up, pick-up your (sing.) stretcher, and return/go-home.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “I heal this man so that you know that I, the Son of Man, have authority here in the world to forgive sins.’ So-then Isa said to the paralyzed man, ‘Get up, take your place-for-lying and go home.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “By means of my curing this person today, I will show you that I, the Older Sibling of Mankind, I have authority here on earth to forgive sins.’ And he said to the person who half of his body was dead, he said, ‘As for you, Friend, pick up that hammock of yours and go home.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “But if that is so, I will then say what is difficult in order to thereby confirm to you that I who am Child of a Person have authority on the surface of the earth (idiom = earth) to forgive sins.’ Then he said to that cripple, ‘Get up (sing.), pick-up (sing.) your (sing.) stretcher to go-home.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Therefore I will cure this illness of his so that you will comprehend that I, who am the One From Heaven Born of Man/human, have indeed the authority here under the heavens to forgive sins.’ After he had said that, he said to that person with the paralysis, ‘Stand up, pick up that which you are lying on and go home now.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Know then that the Man who came from heaven has power here on earth to forgive the sins of people.’ Then he said to the man who was ill: ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and go to your home.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
