Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 18:12:

• Mairasi: “That like this: A person has a hundred domba [sheep], and then just one of those domba will be gone [lost]. How do you guys set your vision down [what do you think]? What will this person who owns domba do? Definitely he himself will leave his four whole people and two hands and one hand and four [ninety-nine] domba over there in the hills, and then he himself will go look for the missing one!” (source: Enggavoter 2004)
• Uma: “‘What is your opinion? There was a man who had one hundred sheep. If one is lost, what does he do? Certainly he leaves behind the ninety-nine sheep on the mountain-side, and he goes to look/search for that one lost one.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “What do you say? For example if there is a person who has one hundred sheep and one has gone astray, what then will he do? Surely he will leave the ninety-nine there on the mountain and will go and search for the one that has gone astray.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “If there is a person who has a hundred domestic animals which are sheep, and one of them is lost, what does he do? What he does is he leaves the ninety and nine that aren’t lost grazing on the hillside, and he looks for the lost one.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “‘For example, if there is someone who owns one hundred sheep and one gets lost, what perhaps will he do? Surely (lit. indeed maybe–connotes no doubt) he will leave the ninety-nine in the pasturing-place on the hillside to go look-for the lost one.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “What do you think,’ said Jesus, ‘that a person will do who has a hundred sheep, if supposing suddenly/unexpectedly one goes astray? Won’t he just leave the ninety nine eating there in the hills and look for that lost one?” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Now if it be that there was a person who had a hundred sheep, and one of the sheep gets lost, won’t he leave the ninety-nine sheep there in the field where they are. He will go and search for the sheep that is lost.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
