• Kupsabiny: “Then (he) came closer to me. I was terrified and fell down with my mouth/face on the ground. But he said to me, ‘Son of man, know that the visions/revelations you saw concern/relate to the last days/end time.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “When Gabriel came to the place where I was standing, I was afraid and fell to the ground. He said to me, "O Mortal man, this vision talks about the end times."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When Gabriel approached me, I knelt/bowed-down in fear. But he said, ‘Human/Man, you (sing.) should understand that your (sing.) vision is about the end of times.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “So Gabriel came and stood beside me. I was very terrified, with the result that I fell onto the ground. But he said to me, ‘You human, it is necessary for you to understand that the events that you saw in the vision will occur near the time that the world will end.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
