    and I began to tremble.
    I used to wait for the day to end and I go to sleep,
    but when the day ends I am again much afraid.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “My heart had gotten out of control.
    Being afraid, I have been trembling and trembling.
    The evening time that I had been longing for —
    even that had become a threatening [lit.: dangerous] terror for me.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “My chest beats, and I tremble with fear. I can- not -rest at night, for I am still nervous.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

    I was eager for it to be nighttime,
    but now it is night, and I am horrified.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
