complete verse (Matthew 5:18)

Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 5:18:

  • Uma: “Really-really I say to you: every word that is written in the Book of the Law of the Lord definitely must happen/be-fulfilled. As long as there still is this sky and earth, not one word in the Law of the Lord will not happen, not even a very small one.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Truly I tell you as long as earth and sky is still here not even one letter or one dash/diacritic will be removed from the law. It is not possible that the law should have no value as long as the end of the world has not yet come.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because until heaven and earth do not yet go out of existence, it is not possible that will be taken away even one proposition alone of the sayings in the system of commands. Until everything is not yet fulfilled, the system of laws cannot also be removed. Don’t you forget this.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “This that I tell you is true that until the earth and heaven cease-to-exist, absolutely nothing contained in God’s law will cease-to-exist, even the shortest word or a single period, until all the purposes of God are fulfilled.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “For this that I will say to you is true. Sky/heaven and the world will indeed be removed, however there’s really no removing even the smallest bit of the laws of God until all will be fulfilled.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Truly I tell you that while the heavens and the earth continue in existence, that concerning all the words written in the law, not even one letter nor even one period can be removed until all the written words have happened.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
