complete verse (Revelation 4:8)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 4:8:

  • Uma: “Those four living things each had six wings, and there were eyes all over their bodies. Even under their wings they had eyes. There was no end to those living things uttering their praise. Day and night they continually said: ‘Holy! Holy! Holy! [is] The Lord God whose authority/power surpasses all! He was from the beginning, He is now, And he is until forever!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Each one of them had six wings and they were covered with eyes from inside and out. They did not rest singing day and night. This was their song, they said, ‘He is holy. He is holy. Really, God the Most Powerful is holy. He is God who does not change since the beginning of time until now and forever.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Now these four creatures, each one of them had six wings. Their bodies were covered with eyes and also the underside of their wings. Day and night their only work without end is, they sing, and they say, ‘Holy, holy, holy is God. He is Lord who can do everything. He is the God who was long ago, is now, and shall be in the future forever.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “They were all winged with six-each (i.e. each had six wings), and their bodies were totally covered-with-eyes, including beneath their wings. Daily and nightly, they don’t stop singing saying, ‘The Lord God who is all powerful is thoroughly holy. Absolutely no one/nothing can-equal his holiness. He existed previously, he exists now, and he also will-exist forever.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Those four created living beings each had six wings, and well, as was said, their bodies had eyes all over, even under their wings. There really was no end-to-the-sound from their mouths night and day of their praising saying, ‘Very-far-from-ordinary and really far from all sin is God who has surpassing supernatural-power. From long ago he already existed. And now/today and until forever there will still be him.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “All four of them had six wings each. There on their wings, inside and outside were all covered with eyes. Day and night they did not rest from saying: ‘God is supremely to be revered. God is supremely to be revered. He is to be supremely revered. God is the Lord who has all power, he is the one who lives now, was living in the past days and he continues to live for all the days to come’ they said.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
