Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 16:30:

  • Noongar: “The rich man, he said, ‘They aren’t enough, Father Abraham! But if one man rose from the dead and went to them, they would turn away from their sinning.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “‘That rich man said: ‘If only that, it is not enough! There must be a dead person who lives again to go talk to them, and only then will they repent from their sins!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘They don’t listen to those, Grandfather Ibrahim,’ he said. ‘But if a dead person would come to life again and go to them they would really regret and leave their sins.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And then the rich man answered, ‘Grandfather, they won’t obey those. But if there’s a dead person who is raised and goes to them, they will abandon their evil-doings.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “‘ ‘Yes granted, sir Abraham,’ the rich-man then said, ‘but that emphatically will not suffice. If there were someone who went from the place of the dead to go to them, they would repent of their sins.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “‘Oh not like that, Uncle Abraham,’ he said, ‘for maybe they won’t believe/obey it at all. But if that is who is sent to them, one who has died and come alive again, it’s certain they really would repent/be-sorry and drop/give-up their sins.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
