Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 23:16:

• Uma: “‘Disaster on you! You are like blind people who want to lead-by-the-hand others. You teach like this: If there is a person who makes a promise and he swears mentioning/naming the House of God, you say he is not bound by his oath/swearing. But if he mentions the gold that is in the House of God, he is bound by his oath.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “‘You are to be pitied. You are like blind people leading their blind fellow-men. You teach, you say, ‘If a person swears and makes the big prayer-house/temple his witness, it is possible even if he does not fulfill it. (the promise/what he swore about) But if that is what he makes his witness the gold in the big prayer-house, it is not possible if he does not fulfill it/he has to fulfill it.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Pity you, because you are like a blind person who leads another blind person. You teach that if there is a person who makes a promise, and he calls upon the big worshipping place of God, it’s all right it he does not fulfill that promise. And you teach also that if the thing he falls upon is the gold in the worshipping place of God, it’s not all right if he does not fulfill that promise of his.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “‘Pitiful are you! You are like blind-ones that are leading-the-way on a path. Because you are teaching that if someone takes the Temple as his witness, it isn’t sin if he doesn’t fulfill what he swore, but if it’s the gold in the Temple that he takes as his witness, it is necessary that he fulfill it.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Really serious is what is being reserved for you, you blind leaders-by-hand. You teach that even if a person making a promise mentions the Templo as the pledge/strength of his promise, it isn’t bad if he doesn’t fulfill it. But if what is mentioned by the one making a promise is the gold at the Templo, it’s necessary that he fulfill what he promised.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “All you who teach the word and you do not know the meaning of what you teach, how great is the suffering you will have. For you teach the people who call upon the church as a witness when they promise to do some word, then the person isn’t required to do according to what he promised. But the person who calls on the gold inside the church as witness, then you tell him that he must do according to what he said.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
