  • Newari: “Don’t be obstinate like your ancestors. Rather, being humble before the LORD, go to his holy place, which he has made holy forever. Worship the LORD your God, so that his anger will turn away from you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Do not cause- your head -to-be-hard like your ancestors, instead you (plur.) be-subject to the LORD. [You (plur.)] go to the temple that he had-made-holy without end. And [you (plur.)] offer to the LORD your God, so-that his fierce anger towards you will-be-lost/(be-no-more).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Do not be stubborn as our ancestors were. Do what Yahweh desires. Come to Jerusalem to the temple, which he has set apart forever. Do what pleases Yahweh our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
