Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 7:16:

• Uma: “We (incl.) know their deceit if we look at the fruit of their work. Anggur fruit is not plucked from thorny vines. Ara fruit is not plucked from nettles.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “You can recognise them by their doings, like a tree is known by it’s fruit. We (incl.) do not get grapes from a thorn bush (puhung) or guava from a thorny creeper (sampinit).” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “You can tell that he is deceitful by what he does becuse the banag (thorny vine) does not bear grapes, and the nettle plant doesn’t bear figs.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “The way-you -can-distinguish them is by what they are doing. Because of-course one certainly does not gather grapes from rattan or pick figs (loan igos) from bamboo.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Of course you can recognize them by what they are doing, like you recognize a tree by its fruit. Because a sapinit-vine doesn’t produce ubas-fruit, nor do thorny weeds produce igos-fruit.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Concerning how they live, thus you will know about them. It is like a thorn bush, you know that from it there cannot come grapes. Neither do figs come from the thorn bush.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
