  • Hiligaynon: “David was bothered-(by-his)-conscience after he caused-to-take-a-census of the people. So he said to the LORD, ‘I have-sinned greatly in what I have-done. Therefore I am pleading to you, LORD, that you will-forgive me your servant of my sin, for what I did was a very foolish.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
