Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 3:9:

• Uma: “He healed many people that were sick, with the result that the people crowded-each-other to get close to him, wanting to touch him. From the manyness of the people, that is why he ordered his disciples to prepare a boat for him to ride, so that he would not be crowded by the people.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Isa told his disciples to put the boat that he would ride in into the water (lebbes) so that he wouldn’t be pressed/jostled by the crowds.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus told his disciples to get a boat so that he might get in it if he would be pressed upon by the very many people.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because of the many-ness of the people, he told his disciples to go get a boat for him to sit-in lest the many-people squeeze him.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Well since it was like that, Jesus told his disciples to ready a boat for maybe he would need one to get in so that he wouldn’t be squashed by those people who were arriving in an endless mass.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
