complete verse (Mark 12:10)

Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 12:10:

  • Uma: “Certainly you have read the words of the Holy Book that foretell your rejection of me, they sound like this: ‘The rock that the house builders cast away, That was the rock that became the main foundation-stone.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Isa asked them, he said, ‘Have you not read this verse written in the holy-book, saying, ‘The stone that was rejected by the experts making the stone house, because they thought-mistakenly that it was of no use, now that one is the stone that has ultimate usefulness.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then Jesus said again, ‘Surely you’ve read the written word of God which says, ‘The stone for building the store house, the carpenters rejected it for they supposed that it was no good. But this stone has now become the only stone to make the house strong.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Surely he will go indeed and kill them so that he will then cause-what was planted -to-be-taken-care-of by other people. Why don’t you understand what God caused-to-be-written which says, ‘The stone that was rejected by the one-building a house, that’s what God turned-into the most-valuable stone which makes-firm/sturdy the house.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And then Jesus asked, ‘Haven’t you yet read this which was said there in the written word of God which says, ‘The rock which was not acceptable to the house builders, that’s what was used as the main-support of the house.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
