Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 18:18:

• Uma: “‘Think about this / Pay attention! What you decide on earth, that also God decides in heaven: If you say don’t, God [is the one who] has said don’t. If you say it may be [i.e., it is permitted], God [is the one who] has said it may be.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “‘Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid in the world that will also be forbidden in heaven. Whatever you command here in the world that will also be commanded in heaven.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
