Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 20:1:

  • Yakan: “‘The ruling of God is like this. There was a man who owned a large piece of land planted with grape vines. One day early in the morning he went to look for people to work on his land.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then Jesus said, ‘The rule of God in heaven is like a person who has some vine plants called paras. And he went out early to find people he would pay to work in his grape field.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Jesus said, ‘God’s ruling can be compared to the owner of a field-of-grapes (henceforth vineyard) who went-out at daybreak to go look-for day-workers (lit. to-be-paid-a-daily-wage).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “There was something else Jesus used as an illustration, saying, ‘The kingdom of God is like this. When it was still very early morning, the owner of an ubas plantation got up and looked for casual-workers.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
