and the person who tells the truth is loved/accepted.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “No one will listen to a person who gives false witness,
But, everyone loves the words spoken with integrity
(having done their conscience).” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “A lying witness is no-longer allowed-to-speak, but a witness who tells the truth will-be-allowed/[lit. keep-going/continue] to-speak.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
