Do truth, rescuing those who are persecuted.
Speak up for the poor and widows.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Learn to do good!
render justice to all,

protect children who do not have mother or father.
speak out, taking sides
with those who have no husband."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] learn to do good, and you (plur.) cause- justice -to-last. [You (plur.)] rebuke the ones-who-oppress, and [you (plur.)] defend the rights of the parentless and the widows.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
