Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 20:16:
- Noongar: “He will come and kill these people and he will give the orchard to other tenants to use.’ When people heard this story, they said, ‘Surely, this cannot happen!'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “Definitely he will come kill them, and give his field/garden to other people.’ When the people heard this parable, they said: ‘Let it notreally happen like that!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “He will go there and kill the caretakers and will give his vineyard to others to take care of.’ When the people heard this they said, ‘God forbid.’ (lit. may God send it far away)” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “What he’s going to do is, he will come to those people whom he had take care of the field and he will kill them, and he will allow the field to be in the charge of some other people.’ And when the people who were listening to Jesus heard this, they became very sad and they said, ‘God would not do that!'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Indeed he will go then and kill them so that he will then also cause-what was planted -to-be-taken-care-of by other people.’ When the many-people heard that, they said, ‘Oh come on! (lit. Please forbid) May nothing like that happen!'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “He himself will now go there, for he will wipe out those he’d left in charge. And he will cause his ubas plantation to be tended by other field-workers.’ Well since the people understood what was alluded to in that illustration Jesus gave, they said, ‘Hopefully that indeed won’t happen!'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
