Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 3:17:
- Noongar: “He brings his dish and he will sift the seed. He will beat all the seeds and gather the good seeds into his grain house. But he will burn the husks in a fire. That fire burns forever.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “He can be compared to a person who winnows rice. He separates the good rice [lit, rice that has contents] from the empty ones until it is clean. The good rice he puts into his granary, the empty he burns in a fire that blazes on forever.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “He will separate the good people and the bad people. He is figuratively like a person winnowing rice, he separates the kernels and the chaff. The kernels he will store in the storage-container (a huge basket) but the chaff he will burn with fire which cannot be put out.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Since He is separating the good people and the bad people. He is like the person winnowing rice, who removes the hull from the rice. The rice will put into the storehouse, but the hull, he will burn it with fire which cannot be put out,’ said John.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “He is compared to a person holding a winnowing-basket that he will use-to-winnow the pounded rice. Its meat (lit. fruit), he will go and store it in his house, but as for the husks, he will burn them in the fire that never-goes-out.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “He is the one who will judge the people. For it’s like he is holding his tossing-tool with which he will toss the grain-stalks. He will separate the grain to store in his silo. But the straw, he will throw it on the fire which can never go out till forever.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
