complete verse (Matthew 17:25)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 17:25:

  • Uma: “Petrus said: ‘He pays it!’ From there, Simon Petrus returned going to the house where they were staying. Arriving there, he had not yet had a chance to speak, Yesus right away asked him: ‘Simon, what is your (sing.) opinion: who must pay tax and worship-gifts to a king who has power/authority over another town [lit., town of others]? His own people, or the citizens of the town he has authority/power over?'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Petros answered he said, ‘Yes.’ When Petros entered the house, Isa immediately spoke to him, he said, ‘What do you think, Simon. Who pays taxes to the sultans in the world, his family and relatives or the other people?'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “‘Yes,’ answered Peter, ‘he will pay.’ When Peter went back to the house, Jesus was the one who asked him saying, ‘Simon, what do you think about this? For example, here on the earth, who pays taxes to the king? Is it his close relatives, or is it those who are not his relatives?’ And Peter said, ‘Those who are not his relatives.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘Yes indeed,’ said Pedro. When Pedro then entered the house where Jesus was, Jesus spoke first (lit. went ahead to speak) and said, ‘Simon, what do you (sing.) think? Where do the kings of this earth collect taxes? Is it from their children or other people?'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “‘Oh yes,’ was the reply of Pedro.When Pedro returned to the house where they were staying, he was immediately questioned by Jesus. ‘What do you think, Simon? Who do the kings here in the world cause to pay payment to them? Those of their household or their subjects?'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Peter said to the men who collected the money: ‘Yes, the teacher will pay the money.’ Afterwards Peter went to the house where Jesus was. Before Peter could speak, Jesus said to him: ‘Listen, Peter, what do you say? Concerning the kings here on earth, who do they collect money from for taxes, do they collect from their children or from foreigners?’ he said.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
