Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 13:48:
- Uma: “When the net is full, the fishermen lift up their nets [and] go to the shore, and they sit down and choose the fish caught in the net. The good ones they put in their containers, the ones that are not good they throw away.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “When the net is full the people pull it to the sea shore then they sit down and select the fish. The good fish are put into their container and the ones that aren’t good are simply thrown out.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And when many fish are able to get inside of it, people pull it up on the shore. And they sit down because they will choose the good fish and put them into baskets, and those which are not good, they throw away.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “‘God’s ruling can also be compared to a fishnet that some fishermen lowered into the sea until it was full of many kinds of fish. Then they pulled it to the bank (lit. its edge) and they sat-down to sort-through what they had caught. What was good to eat-as-viand, they put in a bucket, but the bad, they threw away.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Without anything further, when the fishermen observed that many fish had gone in already, they hauled it up. And then they sat down and sorted them out. The good fish which can be eaten, they put these into the container. Those which weren’t, they threw them away.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “When the fishermen drag their net to shore which is full of fish, they sit down to sort them out. The good fish are kept, but the fish which are no good are thrown away.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
