   • 1981 January 1, “„Ini den laatste dé” — Sensi oten? ["In the last days" - since when?]”, in A waktitoren‎, Selters-Taunus: Wachtturm-Gesellschaft (Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses), page 4:

     [Den Dyu di no ben teki na kristendom ben pruberi fu drai na kaba fu den "laatste dei" fu na seti fu sani fu den ini Palestina. Ini 65 G.T. den ben opo meki opruru nanga den Romein granmasra. Disi ben abi leki bakapisi dati wan srefidensi Dyu staat ben kon, di ben tan so wan feifi yari.]

     The Jews who did not take up Christianity tried to avert the end of the "last days" of their arrangement of things in Palestine. In 65 CE they rose up in rebellion against their Roman overlords. This had as a result that an independent Jewish state came into being, which remained for about five years.
