complete verse (Revelation 6:16)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 6:16:

  • Uma: “and they shouted/called speaking to the mountains like this: they said: ‘Fall on us (excl.), mountains! Roll over us (excl.), rocks! So that we (excl.) are hidden from the gaze of him who sits on the Seat of the King, and so that we (excl.) will not be struck by the anger of that Lamb over there!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “They called to the mountains and to the stones/rocks, saying, ‘Fall and cover us (excl.) so that we (excl.) will not be seen by the one who sits on the throne and so that we (excl.) will not be-affected-by-the-wrath of the Sheep.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “They shouted out to the mountains and to the stones. They said, ‘Roll on top of us so that we cannot be seen by the One Who sits on the seat of ruling in heaven, and also so that we cannot be reached by the anger of the young sheep.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “And they pleaded-for-mercy saying to the mountains and rocks, ‘Please cave-in/landslide so that you will cover/bury us (excl.) so that the one who is seated on the throne will not see-us and we (excl.) will escape the Sheep’s fearful punishment of us (excl.).” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Those people were ordering the mountains and rocks saying, ‘Go ahead, fill in over us (excl.), so that we (excl.) will be hidden from view, so that we (excl.) won’t be seen by that one sitting on the king’s seat, and also so that we (excl.) won’t experience the incurred anger of that one referred to as Young Sheep.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “the people then said to the mountains and cliffs: ‘Fall on top of us so that you cover us and we will not be found by the one who sits in the chair. Because fearful is the punishment which the Lamb will give. We do not want to go through it.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
