‘Stop (sing.) crying but wipe away the tears
because you will be blessed for what you have done,
your children shall return/come back from that country of your enemies.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But now the LORD says, ‘You no longer will-cry for I will-reward you of your deeds. Your children will-return to you from the land of the enemies.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

‘Do not cry any more,
because I will reward you for the good things you have done for your children.
Your children will return from the land where their enemies have taken them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
