- Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
“Can He who instructs human races not be able to punish?
Can He who teaches a person lack wisdom?” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:
“He controls the nations.
Won’t He also punish you?
He is the one who teaches all people
What! Is there anything He does not know?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon:
“He who disciplines the nations, will- he not -punish?
He who teaches the people, does- he not -know?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - Laarim:
“He punishes the nations, would he not punish you also?
He teaches all matters,
would he not know the matters you are doing?” (Source: Laarim Back Translation) - Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
“Ambaye anayakemea makabila yote, je, hawezi kuwadhibu?
Ambaye anawafundisha watu, je, hana na akili?” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation) - English:
“He also scolds the leaders of other nations;
so do you think that he will not punish you?
He is the one who knows everything;
so why do you think that he does not know what you do?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
