    No one can escape from my hands.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I am the one and only God.
    Besides me there is no other god.

    The work that I am doing, no one
    is able to restrain. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) look-at now; I alone is surely the God!
    There is no other god beside me.
    I the one-who-kills and I also the one-who-gives life; I the one-who-wounds and I also the one-who heals,
    and no one can-escape from my hand.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘But now you will realize that I, only I, am God;
    there is no other god who is a real god.
    I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live;
    I can wound people, and I can heal people,
    and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
