  • Noongar: “This Pharisee stood alone and said, ‘I thank you God because I am not greedy, I do not lie and I do not take other women. I thank you because I am not like that man, the tax collector over there.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “That Parisi person stood and prayed in his heart, he said: ‘Oo God, I say thank you, because I am not like other people–robbers, people whose hearts are bent, adulterers, or like that tax collector over there.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “When they were there in the temple, the Pariseo stood and prayed in his liver. He said, ‘O, God, I thank you that I am not like the other people, desiring/greedy and cheating and committing adultery. And I also thank you that I am not like that person who collects payment.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now that Pharisee stood up and he prayed in his breath, he said, ‘God, I thank you because I’m not like other people. I’m not selfish; I don’t cheat pepole; I’m faithful to my wife. I also thank you that I’m not like that tax-collector.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “When they entered, the Pharisee went to stand separated from the other people and he prayed saying, ‘I thank you (sing.) God, because I am not like other people who covet/are-greedy (lit. grasp-after what is not theirs) and break the law and commit-adultery, and I am also not like this tax collector.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “The Pariseo stood up straight for, he said, he was going to pray, whereas that prayer of his was only boasting. For he said, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like others whose nature/ways are not good, for they are money-grabbing, deceitful, and behave immorally with one not their spouse. I am really glad that I am not sinful like this official receiver of payment.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
