complete verse (Matthew 26:24)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 26:24:

  • Uma: “It is indeed true, I the Child of Mankind will die as it was foretold in the Holy Book. But how pitiable is the person who will sell me. It would have been better if he hadn’t been brought forth by his mother.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “I, the Son of Man,’ said Isa, ‘I will die because that is my destiny, as is written in the holy-book. But really to be pitied is the man who betrays the Son of Man. It would be better for that man not to have been born.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I, the Older Sibling of Mankind, will die according to the prophesy about me by means of the written saying of God, however pity greatly the person who betrays me. It would be better for him if he had not been born.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘I who am Child of a Person, I will emphatically die, because that’s what God caused to be written long-ago, but to-be-pitied nonetheless is the one who betrays me. It-would-be-better if he hadn’t been born!'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “I who am the One From Heaven Born of Man/human really will be killed, for of course what was written in the word of God will be fulfilled. But extremely hard is being reserved for that one who will lead (them). It would have been better if that person had just not been given birth to.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Truly the Man who came from heaven will pass through all the suffering he must, like it is written in the Holy Book. But how great a punishment will the man who betrays him have. Concerning this man, it would be better if he had not been born.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
