• Newari: “They must speak to the elders like this, "This our son is obstinate and ill-behaved. He does not listen to our words. He is a glutton and a drunkard."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They then will-say to the ones-who-rule-over, ‘This child of ours is hard headed and rebellious; he does not obey us (excl.). He wastes-money and a drunkard.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
