    Do like that so that you will live.
    Then, you will be together with the God of power
    like you are saying.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

    so that you will live.
    Then only will the Almighty LORD God be with
    you as you say.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, [you (plur.)] do what (is) good and not what (is) bad so-that you (plur.) will-live and the LORD the God Almighty will-be-with you (plur.), as you (plur.) have-said.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “In order to remain alive,
    you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right.
    If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you
    like you claim that he always is.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
