complete verse (Luke 11:52)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 11:52:

  • Noongar: “‘Very terrible for you, Law Men! You keep the way to open the door to the house of knowledge. I say truly, you will not enter and you stop other people who want to enter!'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “‘Disaster to you religion teachers! Really, it should be you who teach the people the way to know God. However, you yourselves do not want to follow that way, and you just hinder people who want to follow [it].'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘You are to be pitied, teachers of the religious law. You block (the way for) the people so that they do not know the true way to God. You do not follow the way and you forbid those who want to follow that way.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Pity you teachers of the Law in the future, because you put a barrier in front of the people so that they might not know the true way of going to God. You don’t want to walk on that true way, but you hinder the people who do want to walk on that way!'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘Pitiful are you teachers of the law, because you have removed that which is compared to the key which opens people’s knowing of the word of God. You are-blind-to its correct meaning and at the same time you turn-aside/distract the many-people so they don’t believe it either!'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Really very hard is what is in store for you explainers of law. Because as for the truth which comes from God, you don’t want to believe/obey it, and you are even hiding it from the people. What you are like is a person who doesn’t want to enter a house, and he took away the key so that no-one else could enter.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
