  • Newari: “But now the LORD says, "Like a servant who is brought only for a certain time would count it, exactly Three years from today, the glory of Moab and its people will be disgraced. Only a few of their people will be spared and furthermore, they will not be strong."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And now, this is what he also says, ‘For a period/[lit. inside] of three more years, the wealth of Moab will-be-gone and its people will-be-put-to-shame. Only few will-be-left alive of her people and they (will) still (be) weak.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But now he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that the people of Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
