  • Newari: “Even in spite of all this, even though they are living in the land of [their] enemies, I will not abandon them. And I also will not break the covenant I sealed with them. In spite of having disliked them, I will not destroy them. For I am the LORD their God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But even-though I am-punishing you (plur.), I will- not -reject you (plur.) in the place/land of your (plur.) enemies; I will- not -destroy you (plur.) so-that no one will-remain among you (plur.). For (it is) not possible that I will-do-away-with my agreement with you (plur.), because I (am) the LORD your (plur.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
