    And yet, is there really a true/righteous person in front of God?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Truly, I know what you are saying,
    but how can any human be righteous before God?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

  • English: “‘Yes, I certainly know that much of what you said is true.
    But how can anyone say to God, ‘I <am innocent/have not done what is wrong> and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I <am innocent/have not done what is wrong> and prove it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
