Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 3:12:

• Uma: “He can be compared to a person who winnows rice. He separates the developed/full rice from the empty-hulls until it is cleaned-off. The developed/full rice he puts into a storage bin, and the empty-hulls he burns in a fire that blazes on forever.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “He will separate the good people and the bad people. He is figuratively like a person who winnows rice (a specific word for letting grain drop from a height – magpalid) for separating the kernels from the chaff. The kernels he stores in the storage container but the chaff he burns in the fire that cannot be put out.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because he will separate the righteous and wicked people, he is like one winnowing palay removing the chaff from the palay. The palay will be stored, but the chaff, he will burn with fire which cannot be put out,’ said John.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “He is compared to a person holding a winnowing-basket that he will use-to-winnow the pounded rice. Its grain (lit. fruit), he will go store it in his house, but as for the husks, he will burn (them) in the fire that never-goes-out.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “He will be the one to judge the people. For it’s like he is holding his winnowing-tool(to toss with) with which to winnow/toss-in-the-air the straw. He will put all the grain together to store in the silo. But the straw will be thrown into the fire which never dies down.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “That one will select people like when wheat is cleaned and the chaff is put aside. The wheat is gathered to be stored. The chaff then will be burned in fire which will never go out.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
