complete verse (Revelation 20:6)

Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 20:6:

  • Uma: “The people who were made alive again in that first rising are blessed/fortunate and holy. Those people, they will certainly not be punished in hell. Punishment in hell is called the second death. The people who were made alive in that first rising became priests who perform [lit., hold] the work of worship to God and to Kristus. They will rule with Kristus for one thousand years.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “The ones who are included being made alive in the first resurrection (lit. the beginning for being made alive again) of the dead are really happy and blessed. They will not experience difficulty forever, that what is called the second death. They are made a tribe of priests working for God and for Almasi, and they will reign together with Almasi for one thousand years.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Very happy and blessed of God are those who are raised in the first raising. They will not be included in the second death which is the lake of fire. They are priests who worship God and Christ, and they will rule with Christ for a thousand years.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Those who join-in-experiencing the first living again of the dead, they are fortunate and will be extremely blessed, because they will absolutely not suffer-with (others) in what is designated as the second death but rather they will be priests who will serve God and Cristo, and they will rule-with him for one-thousand years.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “These ones who have been chosen to be included in this first coming alive of the ones who have died can be very happy. For they really won’t have to experience even a little bit of the hardship/suffering which is referred to as the second death. On the contrary, they will become priests of God and of Cristo, and they will be his companions in reigning for the space of those thousand years.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “The good fortune has been met by the people who meet with the blessing of God of being among those who first resurrect. These will become priests to worship God and also Christ. And together with Christ will they rule for one thousand years. These are the people who will not pass to the time of the death there will be.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
