complete verse (Luke 4:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 4:2:

  • Noongar: “Satan tempted him in the desert for 40 days. All these days he ate no bread or meat, so Jesus was hungry after many days.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “He stayed there forty nights, and he was tempted by the King of Evil-ones. For that length of time, there was nothing that he ate. After forty nights were past, he was hungry.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “He was there forty days and he was tempted there by the leader of demons. As long as he was there he did not eat and after that he was hungry.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And there, for forty days, Satan tested Jesus to see if he would sin. And during those days there was nothing that Jesus had eaten and on the fortieth day He was very hungry.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “He stayed there for forty days and meanwhile the Diablo kept-trying to tempt him (by itself ‘tempt’ implies successfully). Jesus absolutely did not eat during those days. When that was finished, he felt his hunger.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “How long he was there was forty days, during which he didn’t eat anything at all. What Satanas did was, he tested Jesus as to whether he could cause (him) to fall (into sin, fig.) Well, since for that length of time Jesus had eaten nothing, he was now very-hungry.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
