complete verse (Matthew 10:25)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 10:25:

  • Uma: “Usually a student follows the behavior of his teacher and a slave follows the behavior of his master. So, be careful, because I am your Lord, and you are my followers. If I am named/called Beelzebul, the king of all demons, even more so you who follow me. Definitely you will be disparaged.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Therefore the pupil should be satisfied (lit. give thanks) when he is equal/the same with/as his teacher, and the servant should be satisfied when he is equal/the same with his master. If they call me, your leader, the leader of demons, they will call you, my disciples, even worse.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Therefore I who am your master and the one who teaches you, it is necessary that you inadvertently will imitate me. For I, your master, if I am called Endedaman (lord of the demons) by people, can it be that you, my subjects, are not called even more terrible names?” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Therefore the one-who-is-studying should be satisfied if what he experiences is the same as his teacher, and thus also with the slave if he is the same as his master. If I who can be compared to the owner of the house, they say that I am Beelzebul, surely even worse is what they will call you who join-in-residing-in-the-house.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Well since I who am your Lord/Chief, am being called by them Beelzebub, who is the leader/chief of the evil spirits, well of course you who are my people, how will they treat you any better? They really will treat you insolently.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The learner must be ready to go through what his teacher goes through. The worker must be ready to go through what his boss goes through. If the people hate me, saying that I am the devil, then also all the more the people will hate you who follow me.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
