Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 27:64:
- Uma: “So, that’s why we request that Sir order soldiers to go guard his grave [over there out of sight], guard it will until the third day, so that there won’t be any opportunity for his disciples to go steal his body. They will say to the crowds that he is alive again and will deceive many people. And-so even more people will follow him than those who followed him when he was still alive.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Therefore command his grave to be guarded until the third day, perhaps his disciples will go and steal his body and then say that he is alive again. If they lie like that their deceiving will be even worse.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Therefore, it would be good if you have the cave watched by soldiers for three days, because his body might be stolen by his disciples and they will say to people that he is raised from the dead. And their resulting deception of people will become even more bad.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Therefore it is maybe good if you (sing.) order someone to go guard his burial-place until the third day lest his disciples go to steal his corpse and after that they repeatedly-spread-the-news to the people that he has come-to-life again. If they do that, surely the result of this lie of theirs will be even-more bad than Jesus’ preceding lie that he was the Messiah.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Therefore,’ they said, ‘it would be good if you cause his grave to be well guarded till the third day. For maybe it will be gone to by his disciples, they will steal his body and then go telling all the people that he was made alive again. Well if it’s like that, won’t that deception of theirs be much greater than the one in the past?'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Therefore send soldiers to guard where the corpse is placed until the third day is passed. Then his learners will not be able to go in the night an take away the corpse and afterwards deceive the people, saying that he has resurrected. Then it would be worse for us than before.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
