Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 9:23:

  • Noongar: “And Jesus told all of them, ‘If a person wants to follow me, he must forget himself, he must lift up his cross every day and follow me.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “From there, Yesus spoke to all the people, he said: ‘Whoever wants to follow me must let-go/free his own will/desires, and he must carry-on-shoulder his cross every day — its meaning: he must follow my command even if it kills him. After that and only then can he follow me.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Then he said to them all, ‘If a person wants to follow me, he should follow/obey my wishes, not his own wishes. And he should also carry the post for-him-to-be-killed-on every day, that means, he should submit to endure/suffer persecution and even yet to die. Then he will be able to follow me.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus said again to all of them, he said, ‘If anyone desires to follow the way I go, he must remove from his thinking his own way (of doing) and he must put on his shoulder every day his cross, which is to say, he must carry out my commands even if it means his death. And then he will be able to follow the way I go.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Then Jesus called the many-people and said to them all, ‘Whoever wants to become my disciple, he must turn-his-back-on himself. Daily also, he must carry-on-the-shoulder his cross so that he will then go-with me.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And then there was something which he said to the crowd of people, saying, ‘If anyone really wants to follow/obey me, he must forget about his own will. It’s like he will shoulder his own cross every day, for what he is following/obeying is my will even if it causes his breath/life to be severed.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
