רַ֧ק בַּאֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ חָשַׁ֥ק יְהוָ֖ה לְאַהֲבָ֣ה אוֹתָ֑ם וַיִּבְחַ֞ר בְּזַרְעָ֣ם אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ם בָּכֶ֛ם מִכָּל־הָעַמִּ֖ים כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּה׃
Gayunman, sa iyong mga ninuno lamang nalugod ang Walang-Hanggan upang ibigin sila, at pinili Niya ang kanilang lahi na kasunod nila, kayo nga, mula sa lahat ng mga bayan, gaya ng sa araw na ito.
Targum Jonathan
Only the Lord had pleasure in your fathers, and because He would love you He hath had favour to their children after them, as you, above all the nations upon the face of the earth, at the time of this day.
