  • Kupsabiny: “Is there any other nation like your people of Israel whom you saved to become yours? You made your name be known and you were respected/honored when you chased other nations with their gods in front of your people whom you saved out of Egypt.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “And what other nation is such a nation as your nation Israel? Is there any other nation in the world that God himself has gone to redeem? By redeeming your people from Egypt, your name has been made great, you have done [lit.: shown] amazing work and driven out the nations and their gods who stood your people’s way.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And there is no people like your people Israelinhon. This is the only nation in the world that you have-set-free from slavery to become your people. You became famous because of the mighty and marvelous things you did when you drove-out the nations and their little-gods/false-gods through your people whom you caused-to-come-out of Egipto.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “And there is no other nation in the world like Israel. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you went out to rescue. By the great and awesome things that you did, you have become famous/well-known throughout the world. As your people advanced through this land, you expelled other people-groups who were here in Canaan, who worshiped other gods.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
