Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 27:4:
- Uma: “and he said: ‘I have sinned! I sold a person who wasn’t wrong/guilty, with the result that he has been condemned to death!’ They answered him: ‘What’s that to us! [lit., What do we say!] The guilt/wrong is yours(s)!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “He said to them, ‘I have sinned because I have betrayed a man who has no sin and-what’s-more he will soon be killed.’ They answered him, they said, ‘We don’t have anything to do with that anymore. It is your problem now.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “‘I have sinned,’ he said, ‘because the man you said that his actions were worthy of having him killed, he has no sin, and I am the one who turned him over to you.’ And they answered, ‘We have no concern with that. That’s your trouble.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “and he said, ‘I have sinned, because I betrayed a person who has no sin and here he has been condemned to die.’ ‘It makes no difference (lit. it has no evil) to us (excl.),’ they said in reply. ‘You (sing.) are the one responsible for that.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “He said, ‘I really have sinned. I have traded a person to death who has no sin.’ ‘Oh, what business is that of ours(excl.)? You are responsible,’ was their answer.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “He said: ‘I have committed a sin to deliver to you this man who is innocent, so that he will be killed,’ he said. But the priests said to Judas: ‘What you say is of no importance to us. It’s your own business.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
