  • Kupsabiny: “I would rather that there was one among you who would close the gates of the Homestead of God to prevent you (plur.) from burning for me sacrifices that are not good there at the altar. I am not happy with (them) and I do not accept/want those sacrifices that you are bringing to me.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD Almighty says again, "Hey you priests! Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not happy with you nor will I accept any offering from your hands."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD Almighty said, ‘Wish there (is) one of you (plur.) priests who will-close the door of my temple, so-that you (plur.) no-longer have-to-light the fire on my altar, that has no value at-all. For I will- not -accept your (plur.) offerings, because I (am) not happy/pleased with you (plur.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “God the Highest Ruler also says, ‘There ought to be one of you who would close-the-door to the Temple (loan Timplo) so-that you are not able-to-enter to burn offerings/sacrifices that have no usefulness on my altar, because I am not pleased with you and I will not accept even any of what you offer/sacrifice.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • English: “The Commander of the armies of angels also says, ‘I wish/desire that one of you would shut the gates of the temple courtyard, in order that no one could offer those worthless sacrifices.
