complete verse (Mark 13:11)

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 13:11:

  • Uma: “When you are caught and taken to the judges [sitters], don’t be afraid about what your answer will be. When your time comes to speak, just say what the Lord God puts in your hearts. For what you say at that time, it won’t be from your own thinking. Your words will appear / come from the Holy Spirit.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘Na, if you are seized and they take you for investigation, don’t be troubled beforehand as to what you will say to defend yourselves. But say whatever is given to you at that time, for what you will say is not from you but from the Holy Spirit.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And when they arrest you to take you to court, don’t worry about what you are going to say. For when you are already there, you will be able to say what God causes you to say. For the words which you will be able to say then are not yours, but rather, the words which the Holy Spirit will cause you to speak.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “When they investigate you, don’t be-worried about what you are to say, because at that time (lit. hour), the correct-thing that you are to say will be made-known to you. Because it is not you will be the source of the words (lit. word owner) but rather the Holy Spirit.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “When they capture/arrest you and interrogate you, don’t be upset about what you will answer when you are brought before them. For at that hour, what you will say will come into your mind being given-in-aid to you. Because it won’t be you who will speak of yourselves, but on the contrary it will be the Espiritu Santo who will put in your mind what you are to say.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
