Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 2:10:
- Uma: “So off they went. On the way, they saw again the star that they had seen in the east earlier. No kidding their joy at seeing that star. That star went ahead of them until it stopped right above the dwelling-place of that Child.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “So-then, when the king had finished speaking, those men from the east went. While they were walking they saw the star again that they had seen in the country in the east. When they saw the star they were very happy indeed. They followed the star and then/eventually the star rested above the place where the child was.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Then the stargazers left. And when they were on the road they saw the star again which was the same star which they saw when it appeared in the east. And they were overjoyed when they saw the star again. And that star went ahead of them, and it stopped there over the house where the child was.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Upon their hearing what the king instructed them, they started out, and their happiness was great, because they saw again the same star that they saw appear before. It went-ahead-of them until it arrived directly-above the house where the baby was and then it stopped.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “When they again saw that star, they really became very happy.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
