  • Hiligaynon: “saying, ‘[You (plur.)] go-home bringing with you (plur.) much wealth — livestock/animals, silver, gold, bronze, iron and clothes. [You (plur.)] share with your (plur.) relatives in your (plur.) place whatever you (plur.) took-by-force/plundered from your (plur.) enemies.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He said, ‘Go back to your homes and to all the things that you have taken from your enemies—the many animals and silver and gold and things made of bronze and iron, and many beautiful clothes. But you should share some of those things with other people of your tribe.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
