  • Newari: “You have not brought us into a country flowing with milk and honey. And you have also not given fields and grape vineyards into our possession. What! Do you want to deal with these people as slaves? We certainly will not come."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And one more thing, you (sing.) did- not -bring us (excl.) to the land which (is) good and fruitful/fertile or give (us) fields/farms or field/(vineyard) of grapes which we (excl.) can-own/possess. Now, you (sing.) still really want to deceive/fool us (excl.)? We (excl.) will- not -come to you (sing.)!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to trick these people. So we will not come to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
