Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 23:13:

• Uma: “‘And you, you religious teachers and Parisi people! You will get disaster! You are just good on the outside! People who want to be God’s people, you forbid them. You yourselves don’t want to be God’s people, and others who do want to be his people, you actually block their way.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “‘You are to be pitied, teachers of the religious law and Pariseo because God will punish you. You only pretend to follow God. You block-(the-way for) the people, so that they cannot follow to the (sphere of) ruling of God. You do not follow that way and you forbid yet those who want to follow that way.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Pity you, teachers of the law and you Pharisees, because your faith in God is a lie. For if there is a person who wants to give his breath to God our king, you do not allow him, and you do not also submit your breath to God.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Then Jesus continued saying, ‘Pitiful are you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! Because it’s as-if you have closed the door where people would have entered to God’s ruling. You refuse to join his ruling while-simultaneously you interfere/sidetrack people who want to join.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Really extremely hard is what is being reserved for you, you explainers of law and Pariseo, who pretend to believe/obey God. For because of you, people are prevented from becoming subjects of the kingdom of God. Since you yourselves don’t want to become subjects of that kingdom of his, you are also preventing those who want to become subjects.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Listen, you teachers of the law and Pharisees, how great is the suffering you will have, for it is not true that you are good people. You block the way, not letting the people enter into the hand of God in heaven. Neither do you yourselves want to be in the hand of God. Concerning the people who want to be in the hand of God, you do not let them.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
