The Greek in Luke 10:4 that is often translated as «greet no one» in English is translated literally in some languages where greetings take a notoriously long time, but elsewhere the intended meaning is conveyed by translations like «do not delay for salutations» (Sinhala), «do not pause … to give even one person greetings» (Kituba), and in some cases the concept of greeting is abandoned, such as «don’t-waste-time talking to people you meet» (Tboli) or «do not loiter … for useless words» (Navajo (Dinė)).
