Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 24:38:

• Uma: “At the time of the prophet Nuh long ago, before the flood came, mankind was just lax, they didn’t know what was going to hit them. They were just continually eating and drinking, marrying-off their children [lit., causing-to-get-married and causing-to-marry], on and on like this until the prophet Nuh entered the big boat.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “At that time, the flood had not yet come, the people did not think of anything than eating and drinking, getting married and marrying until the day was reached when Nu went into the ship.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For before the ocean overflowed they never thought about what would happen. The only thing people thought about was lively times, so they ate, and they drank, they got married right up to the time Noah went into the big boat called the Ark.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because at that time before the world was flooded, they continued eating and drinking and marrying until the day that (pl.) Noe entered the ark.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “For when the flood hadn’t yet come which dissolved the world, people weren’t thinking about what would happen to them. On the contrary everyone was feasting, drinking and getting married until Noe went on board the boat he’d made.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Because on that day people ate, some married, some had their daughters asked for. But the people didn’t realize what was to happen. They didn’t know until the day Noah entered into the boat.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
