complete verse (Luke 10:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 10:2:

  • Noongar: “Jesus said to them, ‘Much grain stands ready for gathering, but not many workers are ready for gathering the grain. We will ask the person who own the grain so he will send workers for gathering his grain.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “He said saying to them: ‘People who want to hear the Good News may be compared to ripe rice. There is much rice that must be harvested, but the harvesters are not many. That is why you must call-out to the owner/lord of the field, you request that he order people to go harvest in his field.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “He said to them, ‘Many people want to receive the good news. They are like a field ready to be harvested. The field is wide/big but there are few who are harvesting. Therefore you should ask God, the owner of the field, so that he sends people to harvest.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And he said to them, ‘There are many who would like to accept the good news. They are like a field that the grain is ripe in already. The field is wide, but we who harvest are few. Pray to the Lord that he might send still more into his field, in order to harvest.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “He said to them parabling, ‘Many are the people who should be harvested, but the ones to harvest them are lacking. Request then the rice-field owner in order that he will send others to join-in-harvesting.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “He said to them, ‘The crowd of people who want to hear the Good News, they are like ripe wheat. There really is much to be harvested but the harvesters are not many. Therefore what would be good for you to do is to beg-mercy from God who is the owner of this which is to be harvested. Request that he send other like harvesters to go teaching also.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
