  • Hiligaynon: “O my God, I know that you (sing.) search our (excl.) heart(s) and you (sing.) are-pleased/happy if you (sing.) can-see that it is righteous.

Therefore I am very happy.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

    All these things I have given to you because I wanted to.
    And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
