Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 6:22:
- Noongar: “God will do good to you when people hate you, when people reject you, when they insult you, and they lie about you only because of the Son of Man!” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “‘You are fortunate if who are hated, expelled, disparaged, and your names made-to-stink because of your following of Me the Child of Man.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “‘How fortunate you are/good it is for you if the people hate you and if they don’t receive you and talk-evil (about you) and destroy you (your good name) with your companions because you follow me, the Son of Mankind.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: (includes verse 23) “Far better off are you if people are against you and they don’t accept you as their companion, and they treat you shamefully, and they talk about you and say that your custom is bad, because you follow me, the older sibling of mankind. This is what their ancestors did long ago to the prophets of God. Rejoice very much if this happens to you, because how very great will be God’s reward to you which you can look forward to in Heaven.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “‘Fortunate are you if people hate you and exclude you and also shame you and moreover say-bad-things-about you because of your faith in me who am Child of a Person.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “You can be happy if you are hated, ignored/boycotted and insulted by your fellowman, even your name regarded by them as disgusting, because you believe-in/obey me who am the One From Heaven Born of Man/human.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
