I will-offer these silver-(pieces) to the LORD so-that the curse will- not -come to you (sing.). I will-use these silver-(pieces) as a coating on the wooden image that I will-cause- (somebody) -to-make. Yes, I will-offer this to the LORD so-that you (sing.) will-be-saved from the curse.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
