Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 6:49:
- Noongar: “But a person who hears my words but doesn’t do what I say, he is like a man building his house, but the house did not stand on rock. The river overflowed and struck that house and the house fell suddenly. The house fell very badly!” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “But the people who hear my words and do not follow, they are like a person who built a house on just land/the ground without a foundation-stone. A flood came and struck that house, it fell down, and its destruction was great.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Now if a person listens to my words but does not obey them he is like a person building a house, but does not make a hole for the posts and does not stand them on rock. When the strong flood comes immediately the house falls and breaks to pieces.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now the person who just listens to my advice but he does not act upon it, he is like the person who built a house on the sand, and when that house was finished, it also was hit by a typhoon, and the house was struck by the force of strong water, and the house fell and was completely broken up.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “But the person who has been listening to what I say and he doesn’t believe/obey it, he is compared to a person who built his house on the soil and he didn’t carve out from the rock a place-upon-which-to-set its foundation. So when the water struck-against that house of his, it fell-down and was totally destroyed.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “But as for that person who, although he hears my teaching, doesn’t obey it, he is like a person who only did a shoddy job when building his house, for he didn’t make it sturdy by putting the posts down deep in the ground. Well when the flood came, it also was engulfed. What else but for the reason that it wasn’t sturdy, it fell at once and was totally broken up.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
