• Kupsabiny: “If you walk by these laws of God that I have told you today and follow them well, he shall make you become heads/leaders and not tails in relation to other communities. You shall only go in front, but not be behind.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “If you are careful to obey them, heeding the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today, the LORD will not make you the tail, but [rather], the head. You will be at the top, not at the bottom.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The LORD your (plur.) God will-make you (plur.) leaders/[lit heads] in the nations, and not just followers. Yes, you (plur.) are always on the top and not at the bottom if you (plur.) only obey and follow carefully the commands of the LORD your (plur.) God that I am giving to you (plur.) today.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
