Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 12:10:
- Uma: “There, there was a person whose one hand was dead. Several people searched for a wrong/mistake of Yesus, maybe he would work on the day of worship. That’s why they asked Yesus, they said: ‘Teacher, is it allowed to heal a sick person on the day of worship?'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “There in the prayer-house was a man with a crippled/withered hand. There were also people there who wanted to find fault/sin in Isa in order to accuse him. Therefore they asked him, they said, ‘Is it breaking the law to heal on the day-of-no-work?'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And there inside the worshipping place, there was a person whose ligaments in one of his hands were dead. There were also there some people who were looking for a way that they might accuse Jesus of breaking the law. So they asked him, ‘On the Day of Rest if we treat a sick person so that he gets well, do we break the law?'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Now there was there a man whose one arm/hand was atrophied. There were also some people who were looking-for something-they -could-accuse Jesus of so they would have a basis-for-pressing-charges, therefore they said to him, ‘Does our law allow us to heal the sick on the day for-resting?'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “There was a man there who had a useless hand/arm. There were also there a few people who were looking for something which could be the grounds of their having something to hold against Jesus. Therefore they questioned him saying, ‘Is it not against the law to heal the sick on the Day of Rest?'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “There at the church was a man who had a crippled hand. But the people were waiting to find some word to accuse Jesus about, therefore a question was put to Jesus, they said: ‘Do you think that there is permission to heal a sick person on the day of rest?'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
