complete verse (Matthew 23:27)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 23:27:

  • Uma: “‘Disaster on you, you religious teachers and Parisi people! You are just good on the outside! You are like graves that are painted white: on the outside how good they look, but on the inside there is nothing but the bones of corpses and all kinds of disgusting stuff.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘You are to be pitied teachers of the religious law and Pariseo because God will punish you. You are only pretending to follow God. You are like a painted grave. It’s appearance from the outside is good but inside it is full of bones and rotten flesh.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Pity you, teachers of the law and you Pharisees, because your faith in God is a lie. You are like a stone house which is a coffin painted white where the bodies of dead people are placed. It is good to look at on the outside, but inside are the bones of dead people which are already rotten.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘Pitiful are you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! Because you are like a tomb painted white. Its view is very-nice but it is full of the bones of the dead and other filthiness.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Really very hard is being reserved for you, you explainers of law and Pariseo, who pretend to believe/obey God. What you’re like are graves which have been painted white, which look nice on the outside. But the inside is disgusting for they’re full of rotten-things and bones of those who have died.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Listen, you teachers of the law and Pharisees, how great is the suffering you will have, for it is not true that you are good people. Because you are like tombs which are pretty in appearance on the outside, being whitened, but inside the tombs, it is corrupt with the bodies of dead people.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
