• Hiligaynon: “Malakias said, ‘Now, you (plur.) priests, you (plur.) request God that he will-show-mercy to us (incl.).

• Kankanaey: “‘Now, try you priests to plead-for-mercy to me who am God so-that I will show-mercy/kindness to the collective-people. But I will not listen-to your prayers and you will be the guilty-ones (lit. sin owners).’” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
