  • Hiligaynon: “He chose you (plur.) because he loves you (plur.) and he fulfills what he has-swore to your (plur.) ancestors. That is why he caused- you (plur.) -to-come-out of Egipto by his mighty power, and set-free from slavery under Faraon king of Egipto.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
