complete verse (Mark 2:26)

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 2:26:

  • Uma: “Yesus said: ‘Have you not read what King Daud did long ago when Abyatar was/became High Priest? When Daud and his friends were hungry and there was nothing for them to eat, he entered into the worship house and ate the bread that was offered/sacrificed to God, and he also distributed it to his companions. According to the customs of our religion, it is only priests who are allowed to eat that bread. But even so, this behavior of Daud was not considered-wrong. ‘” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “He went hep into the house of God and he ate the bread that was placed there given to God. And/but it is forbidden hep by the law to eat that bread, (it is) only for the priests. And Da’ud also gave his companions. But he did not sin in doing that.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of that, David went into the House of God and they ate the food which was placed before God, and he let his companions eat it also. Abiathar was the high priest at that time. It was against the law to eat this food because the only ones who would eat that food were the priests.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “He entered the house of God and he took the bread that was offered to God which the law forbids non priests from eating. But he ate it nonetheless and also shared it with his companions. This was done during the period-of-time that Abiatar was Highest Priest.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Isn’t it so that at the time when Abiatar was Most-important Priest, David entered their worship-place of God and ate the bread which is the thank-offering to God? The law says that only priests are able/acceptable to eat that, but David ate and gave those companions of his some too. But since they were-in-dire-straits, therefore they weren’t rebuked.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • English translation by Michael Pakaluk (2019): “How he entered into the house of God, in the presence of Abiathar, high priest, and he ate the loaves for the offering, which only priests are allowed to eat? He gave them also to the men who were with him.'”
