  • Newari: “’Do not do injustice. Rather, whether a person is great or poor, without looking at the person’s face, [you] must do justice according to what is right for all people. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Your judging in court must be-fitting and righteous; [you (plur.)] do- not -favor the rich or the poor.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
