Translation of "slay" into Tagalog

And how did he have the strength to lift the knife to slay his son?

At paano siya nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na iangat ang patalim para patayin ang kanyang anak?

In fact, he is worse than a thief, for his aim is also to “slay and destroy.”

Sa katunayan, mas masahol pa siya sa isang magnanakaw, sapagkat tunguhin din niyang “pumatay at pumuksa.”
