Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 14:13:

• Uma: “When Yesus heard the news of the death of Yohanes, he got on a boat, and he left there, going to the wilderness/empty-place. Yesus’ intention was that the crowds would not follow him. But in fact, when the people heard that Yesus had gone, they also departed from their towns going to follow him, but they went by land.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)

• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “When Jesus and those with him knew about it, they got into a boat, and they left there, they only, because they will go to a place where there are no people. However, many people came to know about it. And they left their villages, following Jesus along the shore.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
