  • Hiligaynon: “The king in the north is very determined to attack the kingdom in the south with all the strength of his kingdom. But he will- first -make-an-alliance with the king in the south by giving-his-daughter-in-marriage to the king, so-that through his daughter/[lit. child] the kingdom in the south will-be-destroyed. But the daughter/[lit. female] will- not -fight against the kingdom in the south and she will- not -take-side with her father.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then he will decide to march south with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King of Egypt and in order that his own daughter will help him to destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
