    together with elders and children.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In the streets the sword makes them childless.
    Full of fear and anxiety they will have to stay in their houses.
    From young men, young women and milk-drinking babies
    even up to old men and women all will vanish.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

    The old-ones, young-ones, and children will-die.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

    and in their homes, their enemies will cause them to be terrified.
    Their enemies will kill young men and young women,
    and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
