complete verse (Luke 11:33)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 11:33:

  • Noongar: “‘No person lights a fire stick and hides it or covers its light. He lifts up the flame so people can see the light when they come inside.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “‘No person lights a lamp and hides [it] or covers it with a pot. A lamp is definitely put on its putting-place so that its shine is seen by people who enter.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Isa said yet, ‘There is nobody who lights a lamp and then hides it or covers it with a tall rice basket. But he places it on it’s lampstand so that those coming in will see the light.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus spoke again saying, ‘Nobody lights a lamp and hides it or puts in underneath an upsidedown basket, but rather, he places it on underneath an upside down basket, but rather, he places it on a holder and when a person comes in, he is illuminated.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then Jesus continued parabling, ‘No one lights a lamp to then put it in a blocked-off-place or cover it with a basin but rather he sets-it-on-top (of something) so that it will be bright/light if a person enters.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And then Jesus said next, ‘No one lights a lamp and then hides it or covers it with a ganta-measure. On the contrary he will really put it on a stand/rest, so that the people who are entering will see its light.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
