complete verse (Luke 17:8)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 17:8:

  • Noongar: “No! You say to him, ‘Prepare my meal, then put on your right clothes and stand here to serve my food. Then you can eat your meal.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “Of course not. Surely we say like this: ‘Prepare my food! Put on clothes that are not dirty. Wait for me while I drink and eat. When I am finished eating, only then do you (sing.) eat.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Surely not. Instead that is what you say to him, ‘Change your clothes and prepare my food so that I can eat. When I have finished, then you can eat.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “That’s not the way, because what you will say is, ‘Wash your hands and cook for me, so that I may eat.. And you may eat when I have finished eating.’ ‘” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “No indeed, but rather you (sing.) say, ‘Go change so you (sing.) will then prepare what I will eat and place-it-before me until I have finished-eating, then you (sing.) also will eat.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Of course not. On the contrary, what you will order is that you will say, ‘Go ahead, serve my evening meal and get changed to wait-on/take-care-of me while I eat and drink. You just eat when I have eaten already.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
