- Hiligaynon: “I swore this to them because they did not obey my commands and statutes, and they did not make-holy the Day For-Resting which I caused- them -to-obey. They even preferred/gave-preference to worshipping their little-gods.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The reason that I promised that was because they rejected and disobeyed all my laws and desecrated/refused to rest on the Sabbath days. They did that because they were devoted toworshiping their idols.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
