  • Hiligaynon: “Moises said to the king, ‘Just tell me when I am-to-pray for you (sing.), for your (sing.) officials, and for your (sing.) people, so-that those frogs will-disappear from you (plur.) and from your (plur.) houses. And the only frogs that will-be-left will-be those in the Nile River.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Bariai: “And then Moses spoke to the great chief of Isip like this, ‘All right, I will pray for helping you (sing.) and your [subordinate] leaders and your people. [When] it’s like that then the frogs will leave you (pl.) and your houses, and then go permanently stay at the water. But when do you want me to pray? This very [matter,] I’m placing [it] up into your control (lit. hand).’” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
