  • Hiligaynon: “And so even-if that land has-became-dirty/has-become-unclean because-of what they do, so I have-sent calamities to that land so-that by-means- of this they will-(all)-leave there. But you (plur.) Israelinhon and the foreigners who (are) living with you (plur.), you (plur.) must- not -do those detestable/abominable things but-instead you (plur.) obey my rules/regulations/[lit. what-is-to-be-followed] and commands. For if you (plur.) also make- the land -dirty/unclean by doing those things, you (plur.) will- also -be-caused-to-leave from that land just-like the people before you (plur.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So if you defile the land, I will get rid of you like I got rid of the people of those nations that were here before you came.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
