Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 24:15:

- Yakan: “‘It was foretold by Nabi Daniyel that in the future there will be (something) in the big prayer-house/temple that will destroy and that will put-down God. (Let who reads this understand it.)” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Daniel, the one inspired by God long ago, he prophesied that which is called ‘the revolting thing that which can harm.’ (The one who happens to read what he prophesied, it is necessary that he understands it.) And when you see that this is already standing in the house of God,” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Jesus continued saying, ‘In-the-future what Daniel prophesied will be fulfilled, that there will be a ‘hated destroyer’ who will stand in the holy place, namely the Temple. (The one who reads this prophecy should understand it.)” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “You will see there in the far-from-ordinary place what is really disgusting in the sight of God which is insulting/belittling him, which was alluded to by what was said by the prophet Daniel. Those who read this, try-to-understand it.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Also you will see come to pass the word spoken by the prophet Daniel, that the people will spoil the place which is holy. (Now the person who is reading should recognize this when he sees this word happen.)” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
