complete verse (Matthew 11:25)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 11:25:

  • Uma: “At that time, Yesus prayed, he said: ‘O Father, the Lord of heaven/sky and earth! I say thank you to You, because all that you show to the people who do not know, but you hide it from the people who know, and from people who are smart/clever,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “So-then, at that time Isa said, ‘O Father, you rule the sky and the earth. I really praise you because you give knowledge/wisdom to the ignorant/unlearned and you hide this knowledge/wisdom from those with high learning and from those who understand.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And then Jesus prayed, and he said, ‘My Father, owner of heaven and earth, big is my thanks to you because the thing you’ve hidden so that it wouldn’t be understood by the brainy and wise people, you’ve caused it to be undersood by the people who don’t know anything.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “At that time, Jesus prayed saying, ‘Father, you (sing.) who are Lord in heaven and on earth, big is my thanks to you (sing.), because that which you (sing.) did not make-known to wise and educated people, you (sing.) have made known to not educated ones.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “At that time, Jesus prayed saying, ‘I thank you, Father, you who are Lord of heaven/sky and the world, because you have concealed these truths so that they won’t be comprehended by those who exalt their own knowledge/skill and understanding/perception. The ones you have enlightened are the low-class/insignificant only who are meek/patient.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “At another time Jesus said: ‘Father, I thank you, you who are Lord in heaven and here on earth. Because the people who say that they are wise and say that they understand well, you have kept secret from them these words. You have caused to know them the people who are listeners (obedient) like children are listeners.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
