complete verse (Matthew 7:2)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 7:2:

  • Uma: “Because the measuring-thing that we (incl.) use to others, that also will be used to measure for us (incl.). Meaning, if we (incl.) go too far criticizing others, like that also God will decide/judge our (incl.) case.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “for if you practically (lit. as if appearing) judge your companion, likewise also will God judge you. And however (lit. as to how) you measure out for your companion like that will it be also measured to you.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because the thing you criticize your companion for will be also the thing God criticizes you for. The bigness of what you criticize your companion for will also be the bigness of what God criticizes you for.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Because the measure that you use-to-judge your companions, that also is the measure that God will use to judge you.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
