They said, ‘We (incl.) were-made-to-win by our (incl.) god against our (incl.) enemy who destroyed our (incl.) land and killed many of us (incl.).’ Then they had- Samson -stand between the two posts/pillars and made laughter/(fun) (of him).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “By that time the people were half-drunk. They shouted, ‘Bring Samson out of the prison! Bring him here so that he can entertain us!’
    So they brought Samson from the prison and made fun of him. Then they made him stand in the center of the temple. They made him stand between the two pillars that held up the roof.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
