Indonesian version→

A free translation from the Javanese text

Below are the signs of the chaotic era

1. The earth quakes seven times a day
2. The soil is broken everywhere
3. People are sighing for pain, many of them are in illness
4. Disasters are everywhere
5. Only few can survive, most of them perish

The chaotic era starts when:

1. Carts can go without horses
2. The island of Java is cuffed with iron
3. Ships navigate in the sky
4. Rivers lost their lakes
5. Markets lost their echoes
6. People face the upside down era
7. Horses eat chili sauce
8. Women wear male outfits

The chaotic era looks like the era of hedonism, the era of earthly pleasures, but in fact it is the era of world destruction.

1. That is why many fathers neglect their children
2. Many children disobey their parents
3. Siblings are hurting one another
4. Women lost their decency and men lost their nobleness
5. Many men are without wives
6. Many women are faithful to their husbands
7. Many mothers sell their children
8. Many women sell their bodies
9. Many couples exchange their spouses
10. Rain often drops not in its season
11. There are many old unmarried women
12. Many widows bear children
13. Many newly born babies look for their fathers
14. Many women propose a marriage to men
15. Many men humiliate their own dignity
16. Many neglected children
17. Widows are cheap to buy
18. It only takes a cent to get two widows
19. It only takes two cents to get two virgins
20. Even a crippled widower can get nine women

It is a chaotic era

1. Women ride horses
2. Men just do nothing
3. Righteous people know nothing to do
4. Unjust people are happy
5. Good people are not welcome
6. The bad ones are get promoted
7. Many bad people are considered as the good ones
8. The wrong ones are considered as the right ones
9. Simple people are put in iron cuffs
10. Noble people are put behind bars
11. Mean and bad people get the fortune while the honest ones get the misfortune
12. Merchants cheat their trade
13. More and more people like gambling
14. People forget their children and spouses, and people forget their neighbors and friends
15. Money and hard work are only to gamble
16. When the gambling cards are opened, people laugh
17. But they come home with no money in their pockets
18. They don't even care when their spouses or children cry

However hard it can be, but don't loose your stand in this uncertain era; because, the era will be gone and it will be replaced by the era of the King of Justice, the golden era. So, be tough, be able to endure the hardship, be strong, don't let yourself drowned in the chaotic era. Wait for the golden era of the King of Justice.
