Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 26:39:
- Uma: “After that he went a little ways and he lay-face-down praying, he said: ‘My Father, if possible, make-far-away this suffering that is about to strike me. But let it not be my [emphatic] desire that happens, rather your (sing.) [emphatic] desire.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So-then he went a-little-ways-away and he prostrated on the ground and he prayed to God, he said, ‘O Father, if it is possible don’t let me be persecuted (with intent to kill). But not my will shall be followed but your will.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus went ahead nearby only, and he fell down on his face, and he prayed. He said, ‘My Father, if it can only be, do not let me pass through this torment you have destined for me. However, not my will be followed, but rather your will be followed.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then he went a little-ways-off and lay-face-down praying. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if possible, please permit that I not undergo this hardship of mine that is coming. But may it not be what I want but rather what you (sing.) want that is fulfilled.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Jesus went away a bit from them. He went down prone and then prayed saying, ‘My Father, hopefully if it’s possible/acceptable, cause this hardship which I am to experience to go far from me. However not my will is to be followed/obeyed but on the contrary, your will.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Jesus went a bit farther on. He went face down on the ground to pray to God. He said: ‘Listen, my Father, if you look well on it, save me from the death I must pass through. But it isn’t what I decide that must be, rather that which you decide must happen.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
