Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 6:24:

• Uma: “‘There is no-one who works for two bosses. Because one he will love, one he will hate. One he will follow his commands, one he will deny/refuse. So also we (incl.), we (incl.) cannot follow God’s will/desire, and at the same time [lit., and on one-side] continually gather the stuff of the world.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “‘There is no servant who can be slave to two masters, for he will hate the one and love the other one, or he will really obey/follow the one and not pay attention to the other one. If money is what is most valuable to you, you cannot also work for God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for a slave, it can’t be that he has two owners, because if two are in charge of him he’ll respect the one and be angry with the other. And if not, he will be disgusted with one and he will love the other one. In the same way, if the thing that’s precious in your breath is wealth, it is also not possible that God is precious in your breath.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “‘It is not possible that a slave have two masters (lit. a slave’s masters be-twoed), because he likes/loves the one and dislikes the (other) one. He esteems also the one while-simultaneously looking-down-on the (other) one. Therefore it is not possible that you simultaneously serve God and money.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “For the truth is that there’s no servant at all who can serve two masters. For maybe he will hate one, only the other being whom he holds dear, or if not, only one master will be served truly by him, the other he will insult/belittle. Well it’s like that too, that as long as collecting possessions is the emphasis of your (pl.) mind, it’s really not possible/acceptable for you to truly serve God.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “A person cannot have two bosses. If there are two bosses, then one he will love and not the other. For one of the bosses he will do what he is ordered, but for the other boss he will not do what he is ordered. It is like that for your hearts, you cannot have two things to give your hearts to. Either your hearts go out to God or your hearts go out to money.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
• Martu Wangka: “A working-bloke can only be for one master, not for two. If two masters speak to him, to the working-bloke who belongs to one, and he says do this here, then the other says do that over there. One working-bloke will unsuccessfully think what to do — that working-bloke will sit good for one boss and correct for him and he will sit disliking bad for the other boss (not co-operating with his requirements). If you all sit like that, you can’t sit for the Father and also for belongings and money — you should only sit correct for the Father and follow him.” (Source: Carl Gross)
