complete verse (Revelation 20:12)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 20:12:

  • Uma: “And I saw dead people, those whose lives were small or big, standing in front of that Chair. People who died drowned in the sea, other people who had died, all the people who were in the place of the dead, they all stood in front of that Chair. And the books were examined. In those books were written the deeds of those dead ones. So, the punishment of all those dead ones was determined/set according to what was written in those books, their punishment according to their deeds. And another book was also opened, called the Book of Life.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Then I saw all the dead, children and adults, of high or low status standing there facing that throne. And then the books were opened including the book for writing the names of the people who are given life without end. Then all the dead were judged each one about/concerning what they had done when they were alive, because everything was written there in the books.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And I saw all the dead, large in status, and small in status, standing before the seat of ruling. Books were opened and also was opened the book where those who are given life were listed. Other books were opened where were written the things people did when they were still alive because they were to be judged because of what they did for it was written in the books.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “I also saw all the dead who were important and unimportant (lit. high and low) standing in front of the ruler. All that came-from Hades the place of the dead were there, as well as all who had died in the ocean (lit. the ocean had taken). The book in which was written the names of those who had life that has no end was opened. The books in which were written what people had done were also opened, and each one was judged according to what he had done which was written in those books.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “And then what followed which I saw next was, all the people who have died, they were standing there in front of that king’s seat. High and low-class, they were all there. As I watched, the rolled-up writings were opened. And then that one was opened in which were written the names of as many as would be given life which is without ending. And then all the people were pronounced judgment upon according to what each had done while still alive which were written in those writings.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “I saw then the dead people there where God was, little and big. The books were opened. And also another book was opened. It is the book which says who all have encountered the new life. These dead people then were judged according to how they had walked. Because concerning all that they had done, all was written in the books.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
