  • Newari: “They said, "Do not bring these prisoners here! By sinning against the LORD we have made God’s earlier anger and punishment against us full. Now, do you want to make your transgression still greater?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They said, ‘[You (plur.)] do- not -bring that captives here, for we are-going-to-answer this to the LORD. Do- you still -want-to-add/increase our sin? We already have many sins, and the LORD is now very angry at Israel.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They said to them, ‘You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with us people of Israel!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
