  • Newari: “He said to them — "What have I done that is [anything] like what you have done? What! Are not the grapes left behind for Ephraim better than the whole harvest of Abiezer?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But Gideon said to them, ‘What I have-done is just very small compared to what you (plur.) have-done. Even the small-(things) that you (plur.) have-done are greater in comparison to all that my family has-done.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But Gideon replied, ‘I have done very little compared with what you have done! My small clan of descendants of Abiezer only started the battle, but your very large group of descendants of Ephraim helped me to finish the task very well. It is like the final grapes of the harvest being much better than the first grapes that are picked.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
