Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 6:34:
- Noongar: “And if you give only to people you know will give back to you, why will you be praised? Bad people give things to people and get back the same things!” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “If we give our money to be lent out only to people that we know will be able to return it to us, God will not bless us. Even evil people also want their fellow evil people to borrow from them, because they trust them to return [things] to them later.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “And if you only lend to those whom you expect to have the means to pay it back, is there anything to praise you for? There isn’t. For even the sinful people who lend to their fellow sinners expect that they get paid back what they lent.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And if you only lend to people who you know will be able to pay you back, don’t you think that God will reward you, for even the transgressor people, they lend to their companions who are transgressors, if they know that they will be able to pay back what they owe.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “And if you only lend (lit. cause-to-borrow) to those whom you know will return what they borrow, will you be rewarded do-you-suppose? Even sinful people lend of course to their fellows, because they expect that the borrowers will indeed also return what they lent.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Well, if you only lend to those people of whom you are sure that they will be able to pay you back, well, what more reward are you waiting for? For even sinners indeed lend to those of whom they have certainty of being able to pay back.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
