complete verse (Mark 6:3)

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 6:3:

  • Uma: “He is just a house builder, Maria’s child. His relatives are Yakobus, Yoses, Yudas and Simon. His female relatives, they are here with us too.’ That’s why they refused to believe in Yesus.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “We (incl.) recognize hep this man. He is the carpenter, the child of Mariyam. His brothers hep are Yakub and Joses and Judas and Simon. And his sisters are hep here in this our place.’ And they were angry at Isa. (lit. their liver hurt)” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “They said, ‘He’s that carpenter. His mother is Mary, and his brothers are James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. His sisters are here also in our village. Why is he so wise? Where perhaps did he get his wisdom? Why can he do miracles?’ And so they did not accept what Jesus was teaching.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Isn’t this-one don’t-you-suppose the carpenter Maria’s child? Aren’t Santiago, Jose, Judas and Simon his siblings/cousins? His female siblings/cousins moreover, they also live here.’ Therefore they were offended with him and they didn’t believe.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Isn’t it so that he is the carpenter who is the son of Maria and older-sibling of Santiago, Jose, Judas and Simon? Isn’t it so that living here indeed are his younger-sisters?’ They really didn’t acknowledge him.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
