complete verse (Luke 18:7)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 18:7:

  • Noongar: “Now you think God will not judge his people and do good to those who call to him day and night to help them, do you? You are thinking God will be slow helping them, aren’t you?” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “Even more so God wants to help his followers who continually cry out day and night. Do you think that he is just going to wait/hold-off first and only then help them?” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Na, will God not also help the people he has chosen who keep asking him day and night? Will he still hesitate to help them?” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because if it was possible for him to help that woman, how much more will God help you, His chosen people who continue praying to him night and day?” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “surely God will even-more-so help the people whom he has chosen who beg-for-mercy to him daily and nightly. Will he do-you-suppose delay his help?” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “For if even a person whose nature/ways are evil will indeed respond-favorably, of course God will much more respond-favorably. He really isn’t deliberately-putting-off-complying with straightness/justice for the people he has chosen who persistently plead with him night and day.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
