And he said to me: Contemporary English Version renders this clause well with “Then Uriel said to me” (similarly Good News Bible).

I have come to show you these things this night may be translated “These are the things that I came to show you tonight” (similarly Good News Bible). Revised Standard Version‘s footnote on the Latin text is appropriate here.
