Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 3:16:

• Noongar: “So John told all of them, ‘I wash you in water but another person is coming. He is much greater than me. I am not good enough for untying his shoe. He will wash you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
• Uma: “That is why Yohanes said to them all: ‘As for me, I just baptize you with water, a sign of your repenting from your sins. But one whose power/authority is greater than mine will come. Just to become his servant to unties the strings/ropes of his shoes, I am not fitting/worthy. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “But Yahiya said to them all, ‘I bathe you with water, but there is a man soon coming who is really more powerful than I am, I am not even fitted to open the string in his shoes. That one will bathe you with something different. To some of you he will send the Holy Spirit and some he will bathe with fire.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of this, John said, ‘There is one who will replace me who is much greater than I, because I’m not worthy as his servant, even to pull off his shoe. Water is what I baptize you with,’ said John, ‘but that one I’m talking about, He also will baptize you. Those who believe, he will baptize with the Holy Spirit. Those who won’t believe, fire is what he will baptize them with.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “But Juan said to them, ‘There is one who is higher than I who will follow. And on account of this highness of his, I am not worthy to even untie the laces of his shoes. Only water is what I am baptizing-you -with, but as for him, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “When Juan observed that, he said to those people, ‘I am baptizing you here in water/river. But it’s true, the one who will come following me, what he will baptize you with is the Espiritu Santo and fire. He really surpasses me. The proof of that is, even to untie the tie of his footwear, it’s not possible/acceptable for me to do it, for his greatness/importance is really exceedingly much.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
