כִּ֣י עַ֤ם קָדוֹשׁ֙ אַתָּ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ וּבְךָ֞ בָּחַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה לִֽהְי֥וֹת לוֹ֙ לְעַ֣ם סְגֻלָּ֔ה מִכֹּל֙ הָֽעַמִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ (ס)
Sapagkat ikaw ay isang banal na bayan para sa Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos, at ikaw ang pinili ng Walang-Hanggan upang maging Kanyang natatanging bayan, na mahalagang kayamanan, mula sa lahat ng mga bayan na nasa ibabaw ng lupa.
Targum Jonathan
For you are to be a holy people before the Lord your God: the Lord your God hath chosen you to be a people more beloved than all the peoples who are upon the face of the earth.
