Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 9:48:
- Noongar: “and said to them, ‘A person who greets this child in my name, greets me; and the person who greets me, also greets the one who sent me. So the smallest person among you, he is greater than you all.'” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “and he said to them: ‘Whoever receives this small child because of his belief in Me, its meaning, I am the one whom he receives. And whoever receives me, he also receives the Lord God who sent me. Whoever of you is humble [lit, makes-low his life], he is the one whose life is really big.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Then he said to them, ‘If there is a person and because of his trust in me he treats-according-to-custom/honors a small child like this one, it is I whom he is honoring. And if someone honors me, he also honors God, the one who sent me to the world. Whoever of you has the most lowly liver, he is the very greatest.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “and he said, ‘A person who, because of his belief in me, accepts and treats very well this small child, he has accepted me also. And anyone who accepts me has accepted also my father, God, who sent me. For anyone of you who submits himself to his companions, he is the one who is really greater among you.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Then he said to them, ‘Whoever receives/accepts a child like this because of his faith in me, I am the one he has received, and the one who receives me, he has also received the one who sent me. Therefore the lowest one among you, he is the highest.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “And he said to them, ‘Whoever will receive this child because of his belief-in/obeying-of me, I am the one he is receiving. And the one who receives me, it isn’t only I whom he is receiving but on the contrary, including my Father who sent me. Because the one who is the most insignificant of you all, he really is the greatest/most-important.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
