Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 7:33:
- Noongar: “John the Baptist came. He did not eat many days and he did not drink strong liquor, and you said, ‘An evil spirit is inside him’.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “Its meaning: You do not like Yohanes the Baptizer, you also do not like Me. When Yohanes came, he fasted and did not drink anything intoxicating. You rejected him, you said: ‘He is possessed!’ But when I came, I the Son of Man, I drank, I ate. You just rejected me too, you said: ‘Look at him! A greedy/gluttonous person, a drunkard, the friend of tax collectors and companion of sinners!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “You are like those children. For Yahiya who bathed people came here and he often fasted and did not drink anything intoxicating and you say that he is demon possessed.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And when you saw John the Bpatist, fasting and not drinking wine, you said that he had a demon.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “They are the ones-to-whom-you -are-compared, because Juan the Baptizer came and he fasted and didn’t drink intoxicating-beverages and you said, ‘He is demon-possessed (reproof particle).'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “You are just like them, for nothing suits you either. Because as for Juan who was baptizing, he fasted and didn’t drink intoxicating liquor. Well, you say he is possessed by an evil spirit.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
