    Why were you not afraid
    to go on criticizing my servant Moses?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When I speak to him, (it) seems just like we (excl.) are-facing-each-other for what I say to him is very clear. It seems just like he can-see me. So why you (plur.) were- not -afraid to speak evil/bad against my servant Moises?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
