complete verse (Matthew 10:41)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 10:41:

  • Uma: “Whoever receives a messenger of God because he really is a messenger of God, they will receive a reward/return like they rewarded/returned to the person who was sent [messengered] by God. Whoever receives a person who is straight [upright] because he really is straight, they will receive a reward/return like what they rewarded/returned to the straight person.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “If someone treats-according-to-custom a person who spreads the word of God because he hep spreads the word of God, he will be rewarded like the one who spreads the word of God is rewarded. If someone treats-according-to-custom a righteous/straight person because he is a righteous/straight person, he will be rewarded like the righteous person is rewarded.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “If there is a person who receives an inspired one of God because God is the one who inspired that one, that person will share in the reward which God gives to the one he inspired. And if there is a person who receives a righteous person because of his righteousness, the one who receives him will share in the reward which God gives to the righteous person.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “If someone shows-hospitality-to a spokesman of God because he is God’s spokesman, the reward he will receive is the same as God’s spokesman’s reward. And if someone also shows-hospitality-to a righteous person because that is the kind-of-person he is, the reward he will receive is the same as the righteous person’s reward.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “The one who will receive a teacher of the word of God because he acknowledges that the Lord indeed is the one who sent him to teach, he certainly will be rewarded with the same as is given-in-reward to that teacher. And the one also who receives a person with good ways and welcomes/treats him well because he acknowledges that this person is wanting to be obedient to the will of God, it’s certain that he will be rewarded with the same as is given in reward to the person with good ways.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The person who pays respect to a spokesman for God because the person knows that he is a messenger from God will be given wages just like the wages given to the spokesman for God. Also the person who pays respect to a good man because he knows that this man walks good will be given wages just like the wages given to the good man.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
