Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 17:26:
- Uma: “Petrus said: ‘Certainly the citizens of the town he has authority/power over are the ones who must pay.’ Yesus said: ‘If thus, his own people do not need to pay. So also we (incl.) who are God’s people, we (incl.) do not need to pay the tax of the House of God.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Petros said, ‘The other people.’ Isa said, ‘That’s right, that means his relatives do not pay. So-then, we (incl.) are the relatives of God, therefore it is possible even if we (incl.) do not pay.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then Jesus said, ‘Now if that’s the case, then the close relatives of the king don’t have to pay. Now we who are the close relatives of God, it is also not necessary that we pay what is asked to be paid for His House.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “‘From other people indeed,’ said Pedro. Jesus then said, ‘If then that is so, it isn’t necessary for their children to pay.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “‘Their subjects, surely,’ was the reply of Pedro.’Well if it’s like that,’ said Jesus, ‘isn’t it so that those of the household are not caused to pay?” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Peter answered and said: ‘It is the foreigners they collect money from,’ he said. Again Jesus spoke: ‘Therefore the children of God do not have to pay the money.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
