complete verse (Matthew 7:15)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 7:15:

  • Uma: “‘Be careful, because there are people who say they are prophets. But they are really lying. They look like people who believe in God. But their intention is just to destroy the faith of others.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘Be careful perhaps you are influenced/taken-along by the prophets who are not true (ones). On the outside their customs are good but in their livers they are bad, figuratively like fierce dogs.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Watch out for the one who says he is inspired by God and whose teaching is a lie. It seems as if he is a true believer of God, but what he teaches destroys.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘Beware of deceitful/lying prophets who come to your location, because their appearance is gentle/patient like sheep, but their true character, it is like a vicious/easily-angered dog.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “‘You (pl.) be careful about false-prophets, who indeed are not being inspired by God. They soft-talk you into thinking they are kind/gentle like sheep. Whereas the truth is, they are dangerous like wild-dogs from the forest.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Beware of the lying teachers who will arrive to where you are, saying that they speak God’s word. Don’t let them deceive you, because on the outside it appears that they are good men, but concerning how they live, they spoil all where they go.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
