  • Kupsabiny: “That is when I God shall hear you
    and answer you.
    And when you beg me to save you,
    I shall say, ‘I am here.’
    Abandon the matters of oppressing others.
    Throw away sin and those words/matters of accusing others falsely.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

    You will ask for help and he will say,

    stop pointing your finger at others and saying bad things [about them].” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

    and I will quickly answer and say that I will help you.’
