Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 12:34:
- Uma: “Yesus heard the clearness [i.e., understanding / wisdom] of this religion teacher’s answer. That’s why he said to him: ‘You (sing.) are indeed almost a person in God’s Kingdom!’ From there, no-one else dared to ask anything of Yesus.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “When Isa observed/noticed that his thoughts were deep, for his answer was really right, he said to him, ‘If you advance/increase that thinking of yours, you will be easily ruled over by God.’ After that, nobody dared to ask Isa anything.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus understood that what this teacher said was very true, and Jesus said, ‘That’s right, and you can easily be rule over by God.’ And then no one any longer dared to ask Jesus anything.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “When Jesus heard the wiseness of his answer, he said to him, ‘You (sing.) are near to joining the ruling of God.’ And beginning-from then, no one dared to question Jesus.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Jesus observed that the reply of that person was all meaningful/to-the-point. That’s why he said, ‘You really are close to the kingdom of God, that you could easily become a subject of it.’ Well, that’s as far as it went. No one else dared to question Jesus.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
