Simon Bitrus kawaghe aworo, “Cikilari, kitin ghari tiba du? Fere dinin liru lai saligaghe, (aiōnios )
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever.

What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn )
Ligozin kawaghe, iworo, “Tina lanza nanya nduka Kristi maso sa ligang. Iyiziari uworo, 'Ima fyu Usaun Nnit kitene gbas? Ghari Usaun Nnit une?” (aiōn )

You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios )
nafo na una nighe tigo kitene nanan tilai vat, bara anan na alenge na una nige ulai nsa ligang. (aiōnios )
[The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios )

David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs )

Yesu ma soo kitene kane udu kubi kna Kutelle ma ti ilemon na ana kelle iti ipes, Kubin worsu Kutelle na tii nani, amini na fere ku ananbi kulau abenlin anite. (aiōn )
Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios )
Amma Bulus nin Barnabas su uliru nin nayi akone i woro, “Uso gbas i cizin ubelu anughe ku uliru Kutelle. Na iyene nworu anung nfillo unin ina nin yira ati mine na ucaun ise ulai nsa ligan ba, yeneng, tima kpillu kiti na wurmi. (aiōnios )
While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios )
Na Awurme nlanza nani, ilanza mmang kang izazina lissa Ncikilari. Ngbardang nalenge na ina fere nani bara ulai nsa ligang wa yinnin. (aiōnios )
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn )
Inati anitininn iyinnin ile imone tuntuni. (aiōn )
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios )
Imon irikana idi yenjeba kitime, idi kanan uworsu kubi makeke inyi, na uyine wa dak kiti nimon irika na ana ke, wati nan nya likara me sa sa ligan nin yenju nimon makekeme, inan senani sa udiru nimon bellu. (aïdios )
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn )
inun na inasu kusere kidegen Kutelle nin kinu, inayita achin makeke isuna unan kewe ule na adi ninmari sa ligan usonani. (aiōn )
[Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios )
inung ale na kitenen suzu nimon ichine sa ushizunu idin pizurun zazunu, ningogon, a upizuru nimon in salin nanuzu, ulai sa ligan. (aiōnios )
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios )
Nane di bara asa kulapi di tigoh nan nya kul, nanere wang ubollu Kutellẹ ma su tigo nan nya fiu mẹ ndu nlai nan nya Yisa Kirsti Chikilari bit. (aiōnios )
But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios )
Nafo nene na na inan nutun munu tikanchi kulapi inanin so achin Kutelle, nono kumat mine in so nin lau tutun imalin mine ulai sa ligan. (aiōnios )
[What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios )
Bara kusere kulapi ukullari titun ufillu kibinai Kutellẹ ulai sa ligan nan nya kitin Kirsti Yisa chikilari bite (aiōnios )
It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn )
Inighari nin na chiff nburnu minere Kirsti na dak nin toltinu nan nya kidowo- Kirsti na amerẹ kitenen vat nimon, unan nmari Kutellẹ sa lingan. Usonani. (aiōn )
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos )
sa tutun, 'ghari ma piru na kisek?' (adi nutun Kirsti ku adamun.)'' (Abyssos )
God has declared and proved that all people, [both Jews and non-Jews] [MET], disobey ([him/his laws]). He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all. (eleēsē )
Kutellẹ na tursu kogha ku nin dirnun dortu me, bara adurọ in nkune kune kitin kogha. (eleēsē )
God [is the one who created] all things. He is also the one who [sustains all things]. The reason that he created them was that [everything he created might praise] him. May [all people] honor him forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Bari kitimẹ, nin nan nya mẹ, a udu kitimẹre imon di vat. Udu kitimẹ ngongọn so saligang. Ussonani. (aiōn )
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn )

As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios )
Nene ame ule na ma timinu iyisin nin likara nan nya inlirunnighe inbellẹbin tuchun Yisa Kirsti, unin nya dert nin nilẹ imon na iwa nyeshe uworsu. (aiōnios )
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios )

Udu kiti Kutelle chas unan yiru nimon, nan nya Yisa Kirsti, so nzazunu sa ligang. Usonani. (aiōn )
So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn )
Unit ujinjinghe din weri? Unan ni nyerte din we? Unan piziru in yinnu nko kuje din we? Na Kutellẹ na kpilya njinjin in yeh misoo tilalang ba? (aiōn )
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn )
Nene asa ti lira nin kujinjin nan nya na wasara, na njinjing nle uyeh ba, sa njinjing nago nko kuje ba, alenge na kubi mine din katuzu. (aiōn )
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn )
Nan nya nani ti di bellu njinjing Kutellẹ nan nya kidegen linyeshin njinjing mo na mi wa nyeshin uworsu, mongo na Kutellẹ wa da ceo uworsu ana kuji bite nsa da ba bar ngongong bite. (aiōn )
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn )
Na umong nago nko kuje yiru ninn mo njinjing ghe ba, bara andi ina yinin minin nkoni kube, na i wana kotun Cikilarii ugongong ba. (aiōn )
Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. [If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise] you should [be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are] foolish [IRO]. (aiōn )
Na umong wa risuzu litime ba. Andi umong din yenju adi jingjing nan nya nko kujie, na aso “ulalang” anan so jinjing. (aiōn )
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn )
Bara nani asa imonli ba ti gwananin kilime sa kishono atiro, na nba kuru nli finawa tutun ba, bara nwa ti gwana nin kilime sa kishono adiu. (aiōn )
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn )
Nene Ile imone wase nani inan so arikeku imon yenju, inani wa yertu inin inan sonari imon wunnu natuff bara kitene bitere kubin nmalu iyii (aiōn )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )
''Ukul, unasara fe dinwe? ukul lito fe din we?'' (Hadēs )
[Satan, who is] the one [who rules] this world, controls the thoughts of those unbelievers. He prevents them from understanding the message about how wonderful Christ is. [They are not able to understand that] Jesus is like God [in every way]. (aiōn )
Kusari mine, kutelles iyi ulele mali tursu nanin iyizu mine bara na iyasa iyene nkanan kadura ngogon Kristi, na amere tikana Kutelle. (aiōn )
[I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios )
nani ko kub, nkanang din kye nqari cin du ngetek nin sa ligan ngongong munu na mukatin abatu. (aiōnios )
That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios )
Bara na ti din caa ni mun ile na idin yenju b, bara nani idin yeju na in dan dunari ba bara nani umun ile na idin yenju ba in sa ligan ghare, (aiōnios )
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios )
Tiyiru ninaa na ti susin ku nanya yii ulele ima da pucu niining, tidi nin nilari kiti Kutelle nanya na acaramnit na kyee ba, barannani nin lisosin sa lingang nanya tkitene kane. (aiōnios )
[Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn )
Nafo na ina yertu,''Ana nnizu use me kiti nanan seli ni mun nin lau me di sa ligang (aiōn )
God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn )
Kutelle nin Cif Cikilari Yes, ame ule na idin rughe sa ligan, yiru nan din belu kinu ba! (aiōn )
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn )
na awa ni litime bara alapi bite, anan se a bolo nari nan nya kubiri kunanzang nado ukpilizu Kutellẹ bit nin Ciff bit. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kitimerẹ ngongong so saligan Usonani. (aiōn )
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios )
Ulenge na a bilsa nan nya kidowo me, nan nya kidowo ama kowu ibishe, ame ule na a bilsa nan nya Ruhu, unuzu kitin Ruhu ama se ulai sa ligang. (aiōnios )
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn )
Ubun nin vat tigoh, a udursuzun nbatinu, likara, usu ligo a kolome lissa lo na ina ni. Ana chewu Kristi ku na nko kuje chas ba, nin du kujin bun wang. (aiōn )
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn )
Na iwa malu uchinu nafo ucin nko kube. Nafo usu nakara ngoh in yie. Nin ruhum nlenge na adi katuwa nin nono nsalin lanzu nliru. (aiōn )
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn )
Awa su nani bara bara kubi ncindak, aba dursu nari ngbardang nbolu me nin nayi ashau me in Kristi Yesu (aiōn )
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn )
Bara in duro anit kidegen ka na ki nyeshin ncizinu nburnu udu aji aji, ame ullenge na ana kye imon vat. (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
Kitene nbelen nlai me ini na dak nan nya Kristi Yisa Cikilari bete. (aiōn )
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )
Uzazinu udu kitene nan nya kuti nlira nin Kristi Yesu udu aji aji vat sa ligang uso nanin. (aiōn )
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn )
Bara na likum bite lin kidowaei nin mii ba. Likum bite tidin su nanan tigoh nin nanan nakara, a anan tizu nanit isu imong inanzan, isirne nanyan yii ulele, nin nan rusuzu kiti nin fip minanzang nitene nani. (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
Nene ngongong ghe min Kutelle nin Cif bit soo ligang saligang. Usoo nani. (aiōn )
[We did not know this message previously; that is, God] concealed it from [the people who lived in all] the previous ages, but he has now revealed it to his people. (aiōn )
Kidegen ka na kiwa nyeshin nin nakus piit udu kuji kidung na kudi ncinu, bara nene ina puun kti nanit alau mye. (aiōn )
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios )
Iba nieu ukpizu nin kul sa ligan nbun Cikilari nin zazinu na kara me. (aiōnios )
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios )
Nene nlirari Cikilari Isa Kristi litime, nin Kutelle uchif bite na ana ti usuu bite ana aari nchan channnin nchine nyinnu nin bun nyan shew, (aiōnios )
Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios )
Vat nin nani, nwan buru nse nkunekune, bara nnanzang midiya nigh Kristi Yisa duro ngbardang nayi ashau me, vat, bara nso umuro kiti nalenge na iba yinnu nin ghe udu ulai sa ligang. (aiōnios )
I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn )
Nene udu kiti ngo nayiri vat, unan salin nkul, ulenge na idin yenju ghe ba, amere Kutellẹ cas, uzazinu ni ngongon udu kitime sa ligan. uso nani. (aiōn )
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios )
Su liyisin licine lin yinnu sa uyenu. Use ulai salingang ule na iwa yicilla fimu. Ukuru ubellu imong i cine nbung nan nizi iba gbardang. (aiōnios )
He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios )
Ame unan salin nkul nin nle na assosin nnanya nkanan mo na umong wanya a do kupowe ba. Na unit wanyaa ayeneghe ba sa ayeneghe piit ba uzazinu nin likara saligeng di kitime. Uso nanin. (aiōnios )
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn )
Belle anan seh nanya nyi ulele na iwa fo igiri ba, sa it nibinnei mine nimon nyi ille na ima malu. Nin nani icheu nibineyi mine kiti Kutellẹ. Ule na adin nizauri uuse kidegen vat tilanza imang. (aiōn )
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios )
Urika na ana tuccu nari anin yicila nari nin yiculu ulau. Ana sunane, na bari nitwa bit ba, ama bara unme ukyewe nin bolu Kutelle. Awa ninari ile imone nanyan Kristi Yesu akubi dutu ucizunu wang. (aiōnios )
Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios )
Bara nani ndin teru nayi nanya nimon vat bara alenge na ina fere, inung wang nan se utucu ulenge na udin Kristi Yesu, nin gongon sa ligan. (aiōnios )
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn )
Bara Dimas na sunni, dinin su nlenge uyie amini na nya udu utasalanika. Kariskis na do ugalatiya, Titus uni nado udalmatiya. (aiōn )
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )
Cikilari ma tucui nanyan ko lome likara linanzang, ama nin ciu yi bara kipin tigo me kitene kani. Kiti mere ngongong so ku udu sa ligang. Uso nani. (aiōn )
[As a result of my doing these things, his people] confidently expect that God will cause them to live forever. God, who never lies, promised before he created the world that [his people] would live forever. (aiōnios )
Nin likara kibinai au lai sa liga, un Kutelle ulena adini kinu b, nin likawali vat kafin uur kubi. (aiōnios )
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn )
Unin dursuzu nani ti nari imon inanzang nin kunanizi nimun iyi ti suu anan kujijin, anit alau nin libau Kutelle nanya ku kuje. (aiōn )
He wanted to erase the record of our sins even though we did not deserve that, and he wanted us to receive all that [God desires] to give us. [These are the things that we] confidently expect to receive when we live [with him] eternally. (aiōnios )
Awa suu nani tina see usortu nanya mbolu Kutell, ti da su anan lin gadu nlai sa ligang nin likara kibinai. (aiōnios )
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios )
Umoh uti iwa kosufi ninghe nanya kubi baat bara unan so ninghe sa ligan (aiōnios )
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn )
Nin nale ayire, Kutelle din nliru nanghirik nin gono me, ulenge na ana ferenghe aso unan li ngadu nimon me. Kiti mere tutun ana ke imon vat. (aiōn )
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn )
Kitene ngono me awa woro “Kutet tigo, Kutelle adi sa Ligang, (aiōn )
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn )
Udi nafo na ana kuru a belle nkan kiti “fe upirist sa ligan, nafo ubellun malkisadak”. (aiōn )
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios )
Ame wa batin unit, nanya nlo libau we, bara ko gha ullenge na adin dortu nghe, amere usen nlai unsali ligan. (aiōnios )
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios )
na nlon litino ndursuzu kitene nsulsunu ulau, utardu nacara, utitu na nan nkul, in nshara sa ligan. (aiōnios )
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn )
inug alle na iwa dumun tigbulan ticine in Kutelle nin likara kuji ncin dak. (aiōn )
Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn )
Yisa wa piru kiti kane, nafo unan npunu kibulun bite, amini wa da so upirist udiya sa ligan nin nbellun Malkisadak (aiōn )
[We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn )
Bara iyerte wa shaida kitene me “fe upirist ari sa ligan nin nbellu Malisadak.” (aiōn )
However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn )
Ame Kutelle wa su isillin kubi na awa bellin kitene Kristi “cikilari wa sillo na aba saki kibinai me ba, fe upiristari sa ligan.” (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
Vat bara Yisa sosin sa ligan, ti pirist me wansa ti sake ba. (aiōn )
[We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn )
Bara uduka wa fere annit anan nsali nagang iso apirist, bara ligbulang nisilin, longo na liwa dak kimal nduka, ifere gono, ulenge na awa di dedei sa ligan. (aiōn )
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios )
Na iwadi bara nmii niyin sa aluka, barci nmii mere Kristi wa piru kiti kilau kubi kurum bara kogha, ase nari usortu sa ligan. (aiōnios )
[So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios )
Ani iziyari bati nmii Kristi, ulenge kiti nfip min sali ligan, awa nii litime ame anansali kulap kiti Kutelle, a kusu nibinai bit nin nadadu tikul tinan tumuzuno Kutelle nlaiya? (aiōnios )
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios )
Bara nanere, Kristi di kiyitik nalikawali apese, uwa so nani, bara awa kuu anan bunku nari unuzu nalikawali nburne, unuzu nsu nduk kulapi bara aworu alenge na Kutelle na yicila nani iseru lukawali ngadu sa ligan. (aiōnios )
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn )
Andi nani kidegenere, uba so gbasari kitime kubi kurumari, udu kibi nimalin nworu awa nuzu akalla kulapi nin ngutunu nmii litime. (aiōn )
It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn )
Kiti nyinnu sa uyenuari, tina yinin nworu iwasu makekewa kiti nbellu Kutelle, bara nworo imon ile na iwadi nyenju ba, iwa ke nanya nimon ile na idi sa uyenju. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Yesu Kristi amere urume kitimone nnleghe udu ubune vat. (aiōn )
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios )
Nene na ame Kutelle ntop, ulenge na ana dak ninghe unzu nanya nkul ame udia liwalli nakam ncikilari Yesu kiti nmii nalikawali sa ligan. (aiōnios )
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )
Ukullo munu nin nimon icine inan su lidu mye, na lidi katuwa nanya bite. alenge na idin puuzu ghe ayi kiti mye, unuzu Yesu Kristi kitime, ngongong duku sa ligan, uso nani. (aiōn )
[Just like a fire damages a forest] [MET], when we say things that are evil, [we harm many people]. What we say [MTY] reveals that we are very evil. What we say contaminates/defiles everything that we think and do [PRS, MET]. [Just like a flame of fire easily] causes [the whole surrounding area] [MET] to burn, what we say [MTY] can cause [others] to want to do evil. It is the devil himself [MTY] who causes us to say evil things. (Geenna )
Linin lilem wang ulari, uyi kulapi na ina ti nan nya nabari kidowo, ulle na adin nanzu vat kidowe utah kinin libau udu nan nya nla, linin lileme idin susuzu ulame nan nya kuwu nlaun sali ligang. (Geenna )
[I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn )
Ina kuru imara minu tutung na nin nimus in bijizu ba ana nin in salin bijizu, unuzun na nan lai nin gisin nliru Kutelle. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
Ana uliru Kutelle maso sa ligang. Kadura nliru nlai na iwa bellinari ulele udak kitimine (aiōn )
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Andi umong nsu uliru na uso nafo agbulang nliru Kutelle; andi umong din su katwa, na asu nafo nin likara na Kutelleri din nizu, bara nan nya nimon vat, na Kutelle se ngongong unuzu Yesu Kristi. Ngongong nin likara di unme vat sa ligan. Uso nani. (aiōn )
God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios )
Kimal na ima niu nin kubi bat, Kutelle nvat nbolu nanit, alenge na na yicila minu nan nya ngongong me m sali ligang nan nyan Kristi, ma kulu minu, ma ciu minu, amnin ni munu akara. (aiōnios )
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kiti mere tigo maso sa ligang. Uso nani. (aiōn )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Bara nani mmari midya wari mma niminu nan nya kilari tigo. Ncikalari bite nin nan tucu Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios )
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō )
Ndafo na kutalk wa ceo litai unono kadura mae alenge na iwa ti kulapi ba, ndafo awa na tunari nan nya kukunsa ligang, i ceo nanii ku nin ninyaag nan nya sirti isu uca nshara. (Tartaroō )
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn )
Ama kunjon nan nya nbolu Kutelle nin yirun Ncikilari bite a unan tucu biite Yisa Kristi. Na ngongong so min me nene udi duru saligang. Uso nani! (aiōn )
Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios )
Ulaiye na ina yinin nin yenu, nin tinizi iba nin beling minu ulai sali ligang, ulena wadi nin ncife, na tina yino kiti bit. (aiōnios )
The [godless people in] the world [MTY], along with what they desire, will disappear, but those who do what God wants [them to do] will live forever! You know that it is now the final period of this age when there are liars who deny that Jesus is God’s Chosen One. But you have the power of God’s Spirit and you know what is true and what is false. So continue to live according to the true message that you heard when you began to believe in Christ, in order that you may continue to live united both to God’s Son and to the Father. (aiōn )
Uye nin nimong suu kibinai di katuzu. Bara nanin ule na adin suu unufi Kutelle ama suu sa ligang. (aiōn )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
Lo likawaire ana ni nari: ulai unsali ligang. (aiōnios )
Those who hate [any of] their fellow believers, [God considers] [MET] them [to be] murderers. And you know that no murderer has eternal life. (aiōnios )
Ulena anari gwana me unan molusari. Inanin yiru ulai sali ligang di kiti nale anan molusari. (aiōnios )
This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios )
Ushaida unere une- na Kutelle nani nari ulau usali ligang, ulai une udi nanya Isoune. (aiōnios )
I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios )
Ile imone nyertin minu inan yino idini lai- udu anughe alena iyina nanya lisa Gono Kutelle. (aiōnios )
We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios )
Bara nani Gono Kutelle na dak anan nanri uyinu, bara tiyirughe ulena kidegenghe, nani tidi nanya me ame na adi kidegenghe, nin Usome Yesu Kristi. Amere kidegen Kutelle nin lai saligan (aiōnios )
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn )
Bara kidegeng ka na kidi nanya bite na kiba yitu nanya bite saligang. (aiōn )
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios , questioned)
Nin nnono kadura Kutelle ale na iwa cin katwa mine, i suna kiti lisosin mine kicine Kutelle na ce nani nanya nisarka nsirtin sa ligan udu udiya lirulole. (aïdios )
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell].

They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn , questioned)
Ufunu nanya kurawa, anutuzuno kupunjetnceen mine, iyinin galu bara inunye usiriu nanya insirti na na yashe nani se saligan. (aiōn )
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios )
Ceu atimine nanya nsu Kutelle, Iyerje ikunekunwe ncef bite Yesu Kristi unan lai sa ligang. (aiōnios )
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn )
udu iti Kutelle cas unan tucubite nanya Yesu Kristi Ucif bite, liru, tigo nin likara uburnu nin nene, nin salingang. Usonani. (aiōn )
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn )
amini ntari anan kipin tigo, apriests ucindu kiti Kutelle nin Ncif me, kitime ngongong nin na agang saligang. Usonani. (aiōn )
I am the living one. Although I died, I am alive again and will live forever! I have [the power to cause people] to die, and I have authority over the place where all the dead people [are]. (aiōn , Hadēs )
nin lenge na adi nin lai. Meng wa ku, vat nani yene, ndi nin lai sa ligang! Mmini di nin nimon nnpun nkul nin nisek. (aiōn , Hadēs )
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
Kubi na inawa ina ngongon, ingongong, nin ngodiya kiti nlenge na asosin kitene kuteet tigo, Ule na a di sa ligan, (aiōn )
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn )
akune akut aba nin na nas itiza rau nbun nan sosin kutet, itumuno inbun inle na adi ligan, ikala ti titapa i to inbun kutete inin dun su (aiōn )
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn )
Lanza imon makekeme kitene kani nin kutyin a kurawa kudia nin vat nimon na idi nanya idin bellu udu kiti nle na asosin kitene kutet tigo nin Kukam, liru, uzazunu, ngongon nin likara tigo, sa ligan udu sa ligan.” (aiōn )
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs )
Nyene kabarak ka naki di pom. Unan nko kanin lisa mye likul, iwa nighe likara kitene nimon inas nan nya inye, a mollu inin nin liyop, kukpon, ukonu, nin ninawa kusho nan nya inye. (Hadēs )
They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn )
iworo, “Uso nani! Liru, ngongong, njinjin, uzazinu, uyiko a likara udu kiti Kutelle sa ligan! Uso nani!” (aiōn )
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos )
Itunna gono kadura kan taune wulsuno kulan tun me. In yene fiyini na fi deo kutyen unuzu kitene kani. I wa ni fiyini imoon pumi kibulung kuu kucomcom kun sali ligang. (Abyssos )
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos )
A puno kuu ku comcom ku sali liganghe, libut ncin nuzu nan kuu kusali liganghe nafo ncin mongo na mi nuzu nan nya nla libut nakunti. Uwui nin niyini ta leibit bara ngutunu ncin mone nan nya kuu kone. (Abyssos )
The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos )
Idi nin mong nafo Ugo mine nafo gono kadura unan kuu kucomcom kun sali igang. Lisa me nin ti Ibrananie idin yicighe Abaddon, a Hiliniawe yicaghe Apollyon. (Abyssos )
and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn )
a silo nin le na adi uworu sa ligang-ule na ana ke kitene kani nin nimon ile na idi nan nye vat; uyii nin nimon ile na idi nan nye vat, a kurawa nin nimon ille na idi nan nye vat: “Na umong umolu kubi ma yituku tutung ba. (aiōn )
When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos )
Kubi kongo na ima se imala ushaida mine, ku gbergenu kongo na kuna nuzu nan nya kuu kucomcom kun sali ligang masu likun nan ghinu. Ama li likara mine a molu nani. (Abyssos )
Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn )
Gono kadura kin zore wulsuno kulantung me, tiwui ti karau su uliru nanya in yie, i woro, “Kipin tigo in yie nlawa kipin tigo nCikilari nin Kristi. Ama su tigo har saligang.” (aiōn )
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios )
Nwa yene nkan gono kadura din galu kitene Kutelle, ulenge na awa min kadura nliru ugegeme ulenge na ama bellu unin kiti na lenge na issosin in yii vat, vat timyin, akara, tilem nin nanit. (aiōnios )
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn )
Ncing nnui mine ma ghanju kitene kani sa ligang ana ima yitu nin shinu ba lirin nin kyitik-inung anan nsujada finawan tene sa ncil me, nin lenge na ana seru kulap lissame. (aiōn )
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn )
Umong nan nya nale na iwadi nin laii nan nya nanasse nakpa kuzere kishik ni zenariya na ka wa kullun nin tinana nayi Kutelle ule na adi saligang. (aiōn )
The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos )
Fina nawan tene na uyene fiwan duku, fiduku nene ba, bara nani fidin cinu unuzu nanyan kuwu ku cancam sa ligang. Ama li ubun mmolsu. Alenge na isosin nyei, alenge na ina yertin tisamene nanya kubaga nlai ba uwaaru ukyen nye-iwa yene finawa fone bara na awa diku na aduku nene ba adin cinu. (Abyssos )
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
Kubi kun be i liri na, “Njaah nchingne nuzu kitime nin ligang saligang.” (aiōn )
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr )
Kumuche na iwaa kifo ngne ligowe nin na nan kadura kinuu me alenge na isu liduu imus lin me, nin leli kulappe nbun me. Nin kuni kulappe arusuzo ale na iwa seru ulamba me inin nchil me. Awa ban mine iturunnan nya nlan ukang ujujuzu unanzan. (Limnē Pyr )
I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos )
Inyene gono kadura Kutelle ntolo unuze kitene kani, amiin imon mpunu kuu kune kuchan hom sa ligang anin miin nyan nachara me. (Abyssos )
The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos )
Ato ngne nya kuu ku chanchom kun sali ligang, na ayacha ngne ata likari ku. Bar a wa rusuzu anit sei akus limui nkata, nkata na ne iba da sun ngne nya kubi baat. (Abyssos )
The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
ibilis, ule na wa rusuzu ani, a me iturum ngne nya nla ujujuzu, ki ka na iturno kumunche ku na nan kadura kinuu me-e, kikane kitik nin lirin udun malun yi. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
[The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs )
Kurawa kudyawe nutu no ale na ina kuzu nya kunin, ukule nin Hades nun tuno ana kule na iwa din nan ngginu, anan kule isuani usharaa nile imon na ina suzu. (Hadēs )
All the unbelievers [PRS, MTY] —those who had been in the place where they waited after they died— [were thrown into the burning lake]. The burning lake is [the place in which people] die the second time. (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
Ukule nin Hades imunu anin ito nya la, ulelere unnare ukul umba-lilem nla. (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
The people whose [names] [MTY] are not in the book, the one [where God] has written [the names of people who] have [eternal] life, [were also thrown] {([God/God’s angel]) threw them also} [into the lake] of fire. (Limnē Pyr )
Andi na umon wa se lisa me nya tagarda nlai ba uso iwa turun ngne nya lilem nla une. (Limnē Pyr )
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr )
Anung anan fi, ana sali kidegen anan lidu linanzang, anan molsu na nit, anan kaput ndinong, anan ni yiu, anan chil, vat na nan kinuu, kiti lisosin mine ba yi tu kitin jujun la. Ulele unnare ukul umba.” (Limnē Pyr )
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn )
Kitik ba yi tu ba, na iba yitu nin su mmou kanang pitilaba sa uwwui bar ugo Kutelle nkanang mere ba yi tu na ti mine, iba so lisosin sa ligang. (aiōn )
My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. ()
If you go into houses of women who are like that, you will die [when you are still young]; the road [to their houses] leads to hell. ()
They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. ()
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. ()
“As for me, I [am not very important, because] I baptize you [only] with water. I [baptize you] because of your feeling sorry that you have sinned. But someone else will come soon who is very great; [he will do powerful deeds] (OR, [act powerfully]). [Because he is] superior to me, I am not worthy [even to do a menial task for him, such as] to carry his sandals. He will put [his] Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change] the way you live [MET], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [in hell]. ()
“[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” ()
[And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. ()
But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” ()
“You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell! [I] did great miracles in your [cities, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in [the ancient cities of] Tyre and Sidon, the [wicked people who lived there] long ago would have sat in ashes, wearing coarse cloth [to show that they were sorry for their sins]. ()
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. ()
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” ()
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” ()
In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” ()
John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. ()
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” ()
But Peter said to him, “May you [(sg)] and your money go to hell, because you [mistakenly] think that you can buy [from us] what God [alone] gives to [people] ()
If [the things that we have taught] are not valuable and long-lasting [MET], [we will not get a reward]. We will be saved {[God] will save us} [from hell], but [that is all that we will get. We will be like a man who] escapes from a fire [without saving any of his possessions]. ()
And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. ()
To those who [are on the way to hell, our message is like] [MET] a foul smell [because it is about dying] and being separated from God forever. But, to those [on the way to heaven, the message that we teach is like] a pure fragrant smell, [because we tell them] that they will live [forever with God. As we think about that, we think] (no one is able [to do] such important work [for God!]/how can anyone be able [to do] such important work [for God]?) [RHQ] ()
And by doing wicked [things], he will completely deceive those who will [certainly] (perish/go to hell). [He will deceive them] because they will have refused to love the true [message]. So they will not be saved {God will not save them}. ()
These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. ()
