Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 4:24:
- Uma: “That work of Yesus became newsed/known to all the villages in the province of Siria, with the result that many people came wanting to meet him. They carried all their friends who were suffering many kinds of diseases and difficulties, whether those who were possessed by demons, or those who were limpuangaa [fainting spells, epilepsy], or those who were lame. He healed them all.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So-then Isa became well-known in all the places of Siriya. Therefore all the sick people were also brought to Isa, those with severe pain, the demon possessed people, the epileptics and the paralyzed. They were all made well by Isa.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Jesus became famous in the neighboring villages even in all the nation of Syria, that’s why they brought to him all who were afflicted with various kinds of sickness, like those tormented by a demon, epileptics, and people who half of their body is dead, and Jesus healed all of these.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Therefore what Jesus was doing was being-newsed-from-one-to-another as-far-as the entire region of Syria, and they brought to him all those-who-were-sick and those-who-suffered such as the ones-who-were-possessed by evil-spirits, the ones with epilepsy and the cripples (paralitiko). And he healed them all.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “The news about those amazing doings of Jesus travelled far, covering the whole land of Siria. That’s why many now were coming, bringing those ill with many kinds of diseases, including those possessed by evil spirits, the mentally-ill who have seizures, and others who were paralized (lit. had a dead part of their body). He was healing them all.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “All over the land of Syria walked the word about what Jesus was doing. Therefore there where Jesus was, there were brought to him all who were sick with all kinds of sickness.

Also people who were paralyzed were brought to Jesus for him to cure them.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
