  • Noongar: “Give to other people and God will give to you. Certainly, you will be given a full bag, and God will give many things into your hands, all you can hold. The way you give to other people, that same way, God will give to you.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “We must give to others/our companions, the Lord God will also give to use. He gives us very good gifts, that have been shaken and patted/tamped down, until it is piled up. Because the measuring-thing that we use to others, that also will be used to measure for us.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Give and God will give you. Figuratively like measured well, pounded down and shaken and filled till overflowing that is what will be poured out for you. The amount that you give that will also be the amount that God will give to you.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Give to your companions and God will give also to you. The bigness of what you give, that will also be the bigness of what God gives to you. And what He gives to you will be very abundant because it will be as if it is packed down tight and filled to the top and made more than full.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Give to your fellows and God will also give to you. Because the amount you give, that also is the amount that God will give you. But-then the way God gives, he tamps-it-down and shakes-it-up-and-down to pack-it-in, then he again adds-more so that it will even overflow.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Be very-generous, for if it’s like that, you too will receive generosity which has no shortage in measurement, but on the contrary is packed-down-tightly and shaken-to-get-more-in and even heaped-over-the-top. Because the measure you use with others, that indeed is what will be used with you too.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Bariai: “Practice your generosity to other people, and then God will practice his generosity to you. Yet he will pay back greatly to you, and so push it down into the basket’s interior so that it’s full and spilling out here and there. For whatever practice you are doing to people, this God will do similarly to you also.” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
  • Kupsabiny: “If you give out what you have with a good stomach, God will give also you and add more. The way you give out, you will receive the same as that.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

They will be so full that it will come out over the top. Think about how you give to other people. God will give in the same way to you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
