like a lion in the forest.
They have roared against me
therefore, I hate them, too.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They fight-back against me like a roaring lion in the forest, so I hate them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

so now I hate them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
