| ## Analysis | |
| The dataset requires more preprocessing to remove special characters and Scripture chapters/verse names & figures. Also it is very small, which is the primary limiting factor on being able to learn anything useful. | |
| Example 1 | |
| ```sh | |
| Source: In contrast with the people who show the widespread lack of love today , those who worship Jehovah have genuine love for their fellow man . | |
| Reference: Ene ga iJehova ẹlẹnan wo mhọn oyẹẹ da ibo ele , ele bha diabe ene iga Jehova ne bha hoẹmhọn ibo ele . | |
| Hypothesis: Ene ẹbho ne bunbun wo manman ha mhọn urẹọbhọ da ẹbho n | |
| ``` | |
| Example 2 | |
| ```sh | |
| Source: We should also strive to help others spiritually . | |
| Reference: Ahamiẹn mhan re ẹghe bhi otọ rẹ ha luẹ iBaibo , yẹ deba ene gene guanọ nin ele ga iJehova ha muobọ , ọ dẹ rẹkpa mhan rẹ ziẹn ikolu nin mhan bi Jehova koko mhọnlẹn . | |
| Hypothesis: Mhan dẹ sabọ rẹkpa mhan rẹ sabọ ha mhọn urẹọbhọ bọsi eria . | |
