[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)

I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
min nyimom nyalcero nawo diriye, co dike bwe matoke-nawo tee tokeu, nyo matoke.” (aiōnios g166)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
Bitru yi co ki mani mwa nirmer nati kiritti nyi co ki no mi nirmwen bori mu man ki teluwe ke bo ka namik koni mwa nirtiye la kange kang miko kange nami ko.” (aiōn g165)
Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
nan kwab ki men dulo ki tee catin ne kom ni kange wuro a yob ki men nertiye na yi wari kange kom diri. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
kambo nuwa neco bikwan dor bibwe nifireu naci necii dume wo mwa neco manki dika. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
won dume manki dika: ciya nyimom nen, mun kwama wincwar nii bilengke, kangeco mwa twomuweu, Yeecu kiritti. (aiōnios g166)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
mani mu minang dumemitiwi manu do wucakke mweti a to fuyenin. (Hadēs g86)
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 g86)
Cin tou dikero wo dila tok kero dor kwentka kriti mani cii ma bilankiya kange co fiye morka dumek, bwiceu tobo fuyeka. (Hadēs g86)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Co wuro intam kang dii kwama a yoceu yaken lam tureni bo kacek kange dikero gwam dor dikero kwama toki fiyaco nyi nob tokkaker dukumer wucakeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Dila Bulus kange Barnabas cin tok ker ki bi kwan manki gtai, ciki tamyo a ter yika kume ko ker kwamaro, Dauda kom tungume, kom nungi kom datenbo dume wo diriye na wo Nyori, nyan yilaken nobo kunmtacele nen. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Nobo kumtacele nuwa nyori la cin ma bilantum, cin wab ker kwamaro gwam wuro ci ne fiyaka dume diri yiloten. (aiōnios g166)
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
wo cho dike kwama tokkeu, wo ma dikero buro nyumom nanduweu. (aiōn g165)
[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 g126)
Wori kabal cero wo twelum meu, bi kan cero bak-ni-bakeu wi fiya fwelka kale, mor fwelka kwilenti. Nobo buro ci man ki tabanka fiti. (aïdios g126)
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 g165)
Ciin fulongum bilenke Kwama ki cwerke, take Ciin ma wabka kange bwanka dike wo fwelfwele, nyi Nii Fweli wo diker bilanka diri. A ti nyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
ki nobo wuro ma nangen luma man ki kurongka, ciin fiya dor ciyero nin caklangka, bwayilen kange wucake, can ne ci dume diri. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Wo bwi nyori la kambo bwiranke ma liyar ti mor bware, la nyo luma an ma liyar dor cak-cake wo dume diri ye, mor Kiritti Teluwe be. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
La na weu kom fiya cērka mor bwiranke ri la kom yilam canga Kwamak, kom wiki dikero kom fiya ki nir ka kumeko wucakeu. Diker kom fita tiye dume diriye. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Cuner bwiran kerero bwar, dila luma nerek Kwama ko dume diriye Kiritti Yecu Teluwe be. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Tenkwanibbo na ce wo Kiritti ceru wi ki te bwi yeu- Co wo cin Kwama dor dikero gwameu. Cak lanka nace diri. A ti nyo. (aiōn g165)
“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 g12)
takeu tok re mwiki,' We a yira ti mor bitine?”' (na kungu Almaciya mor nubo bwiyam bwiya), (Abyssos g12)
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 g1653)
Wori Kwama nungum nubo gwam mor bwini neka durek, na ci nung cire duwe dor nubo gwam. (eleēsē g1653)
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 g165)
La fiye co wiye kange morce, dikero gwam ceruwe na yilaken cinen. Cinen duktangka diri. Ati nyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Kom bwangten de kale wuro, dila kom fulongum ki bwangka ner kume ro fwir ko. Ko mawuro na kom nyimom ye yora, diker yokar kange yoryore wo Kwama ciya cikeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Naweu duktangka nace wo lami na dok kom tim nawo fulen kere miro kange fulen ker Yecu Kiritti, Wo ker nung ka dukumeko wo no kwitangi yurangum-yurangeu, (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Dila naweu cin wumom, ki mulangka nob tomangeb dukume ko cin yi ber biten tini gwam, ki tokka Kwama diriyeu, ker bwangka bilenker. (aiōnios g166)
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Ki Kwama wiin cwar ki yileneu, fiye Yecu Kiritti wiye, duktangka bak-ni-bak. Ati nyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Ni Nyomka ki nofe? ni merangka ki nofe? ni bokake ki nofe? wo kale wo ninen. Kwama yilabo nyomka kalekowo na yilare kulendo che. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Nawo nyeu bou kin tokker nyomka yulaner fiye nubo tim yora, la kebo nyomka yulane kalewo kakka kebo nub liyar kalewo brombo chuken tiye. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
No nyori bou ki tok nyomka kwama mor bilenker wo yurangum mani ki duktangka kallowe. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Kange nii liyar mani wo kallowo nyimom nyomka yulanero wo, na ki chin nyimom ki kwama chori no chi kulbo tehluwe duktangka. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Be kange a bo de dor cher chano kange more kume chon nii nyomka yulanne ko wo kaldowo la cho yilam kule, wori chon yilam nii nyomka yulannek. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
No cari atin dok kemi kot tangkari, mani ma wo nange ti tak, kati yila in kwob kebmibo nin yare. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Na weu dike buro machineneu na yilam nungka binen. Mullangum Mulange na yilam werangka, binen wo chile kale wo bo bineneu. (aiōn g165)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
Buwar, fe caka kaba mweko? buwar fe mwan mwero. (Hadēs g86)
[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 g165)
kabal ciyero, kwama dor bitinenrowo ciyam nerciyero bwini neka bilenke. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Di la na wori dotange bi dobe ywelnyoti na tutum duktangka wo bakni bakece wo cum cuwaka. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
wori ma nyo to dikero wo bo totiye ti, dila dikero ma bo tiye mani bakni bak, wo mani bo totiye co banki bako ce. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Nyo nhyimum tano buwe wo bbo yim wiye wurom di, bo wi ki mukako kange kwama nin. Luwe wuro kebo kange muwe, luwe bakni bake mor di kwama. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Nyo na wuro ci mulange, ti kan cwika ceko, ne kiden nubo mani cekeu, liyaro wi man ki diker. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Kwama kange Teluwe Yesu Kristi wo chin wab bakeu, nyumom kebo cwerke ma cwere. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
wo neken neken dorcero ker bwirang kere be ri na ci cēer bo fo ki kaldo bwirko ko wo nineu, ki cwika Kwama kange Teebe, (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
duktangka na ca diri. Ati nyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Niiwo fii dum ki cwika bwiyekeri, cabiyee bubaka fiye bwiyo wiye. Nii wo fi dum yuwatangbekeri, ca biye dume fiye yuwatangbeko wiyi. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Cin yo kenco dor birbishi kange Liyar, do ka, lo dako wannen irin liyar can yoken Almasihu kebo na kele wuro ce ki kwaco dila kange kalewo bouti yeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
More ce kom yim yim kumem bo wo dor bitinerowo kom bwanten niwo ma yila bikwan tini diyok kwamak, won co yuwako ma nagenti, mor bibei bi kwan doret. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Ci ma wuri ker kaldo wuro bouti yeu. na daang cuyeka luma nerer cko fiye Yeecu wiyeu. Kdang binen wuro kino luma neret cek. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Nan fetang nubomin gwam dike kwama ywelcinentiye bilenkero wuro yurangum yurangeu wo coti coti kwama yurangumeu, co cinnir fweldiko gwam. (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
Wuro bwi nyo nawo co ci mani mor Almasihu Yecu Tee be kwama. (aiōn g165)
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
duktangk a yilam nace mor fiye wabka fiye Yeecu wiyeu yaken ciko ki curom tinin diri diri Atinyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Wori kwenbero kebo na nangi ce kange buyale. Dila kange bikwan liyarero wo no warkabo dor bitinereu. wori kaldo kumta cile kange nob kweneb cibo fo mor kalewoninen. (aiōn g165)
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
na yeu dobti duktongka la nuwece fo kwama ki tebe in di diiri a tinyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
Wuro co yurke bicome wo yurangum yurange, coti kange kaltinum. La na weu, cin fweltangu nob kwama bo wucak nen. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
ciya nowa doktange dur waber diri-diri tikom Teluwe ka-nge duktangka bigwam co. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
na wo Teluwe Yeesu Almasihu ki dorcer, ka-nge kwama tebe wo cwibe anebo bwoniri womanki dige ka-nge bikwan don ker wori kabum fiye luma. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Wo dike bwi mafiya cire duwe, di minen, nii kaba ki nungka birom nere Yecu Almaciya. Be ci mawo ri na yilam dangke ki nobo wo ane bilenke ti cinen nafiya dume diri. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Naweu ki liya kalewe, wo man ki bwar, yurangum yurange, Kwama wiin, Dur, duktangka nace bak ni bak. A tinyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Te kwen do ken bilenke ceu. Kom tam dume bak-nin bakeu wo cii cuwo kom cikeu, wuro dorcer ko ne warka ti nobo nin ducceu na dor dikero keneu. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ka co wo mani bwiya bwareu, yim ka filang ko nii yanin wiye. Nii kange man wo to ce, kaka wo an to ce. Cinen dur kange bikwan do bak-ni- bake. Ati nyo. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Yi nubo ki kiyemere ciya kungde dorciir, tak ri ci a yore ner dor kiyemer ciir wori man bak-ni-bakE, nyori ci a ciya ki yo neri mor Kwama. Can nebo kiyemero ken ko wo ba nuwa luma tiye. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Kwaco fulobe la co bo ki bi cor cak-caker con ma weu kebo ker nangeneb, lan makacek kange luma cak. Co nebo dike burombo mor Almacifu Yesu na nimre kaltiyo kabau. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Tano nyori min mwirumum ki dikero gwam ko cori co kene can kobo. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Wori Dimas cutangye wi, con ni dor bitenerowo, cu Thessalonica, kariskis cu Galatiya, Titus cu ce Dalmatiya. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
Kwama an cokum ye nubo bwir ko nin gwam. na cer ye na liyar cero ce diyeu. duktangka fiye co wiye kwatti diri. Ati Nyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Ki yoneeri dumediyeu, wo kwama wo mani cwer cwerkeu, ma noro nanimre Kaltiyo gwam. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Kimerang binere nabo ko nagen do bwirko kange dilanka duweko dor bitinereu, nabo yi yim ta ka duwen, ti dong dong, kange yim wucakem mor kaltiyowo. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Co ma wo, won bwiko ba fiya cerka ki luma ceu, ban yilam nob kwalib ki yoneri dumeu diiriyeu. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Nyeu co ma tikagum co kange mwe buri, no mo fiye coyilauri ayi kange mo diki. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
la dam bwiyombowo ca tok ker nyi bwece wo yo nii kwali dike kom ko gwameu, wo fitace co fwel dor bilinereu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
dor bwer con toki, kitile mweu, kwama na kwatti dirice. dang liyarek mweko dang bilengkered. cakcak. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
na wo ci toki kange feu dong-dong nawo ci ko ki ka-nge feu mweon nii wabber diiri ki bwik manner melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
ci ywel co twang cin yilam, mwor nubo buro gwam neco bidwiyere, cerkako dii riyeu. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
kaka kwar merangka yuka munghe, ba yo kang dor ker kwenka tuwek kanghe bolango manki dikau. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
chi twimten luma kerek kwama ke kanghe bikwan duret kalekowo bou tiyeu, (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
fiye Yeesu yakenwi kerbereu, cin yilam nii wabe dur wo diriyeu, kambo Malkisadak yoweu. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
nyo mulangum, mulange mor bi fimer ker cher mo niwabbe na yime che mor dir wo Malkisadak.” (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
la kwama weri ker Yeesu ki. teluwe werum man cha fulong kwaka nere che ti cho niwabbe manki dika.”' (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
la nyo cho Yeesu yim chembo manki dika, nangen wabi to chew mani Afolong ti nyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
nyo bulango ki yom nob nyo nyom kako lachinen be na nob wabbi bo che. lan ker werido, wo bob bwikob bolange, yo bwe. wo nyom ka che ko maki dika. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
kebo ki bwiyal nibe kange nenne di la ki bwiyale che, cho do'o fiye wuchake kiriti win chwat na nobo gwame che, yo'o binen fanka wo dire. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Tenkang bwiyale Almachiya wo bo fiye yuwa tangbeko wuchake bak-ni-bak neken dor chero twika ficha-nger, kwama wo nir nerberoti fiye nange do yorbo bwiyam bwiya na bo wab kwama nii dume. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
cho dige bwiye, Almachiya cho fiye wab kanka noro fwiko, wuro bwi nyo, ma bwaro wo chokkum nobo dimer noro chare, ker bwirangke chi, wuro kwama cho na yo'o nor kwali chi bak-ni-bak. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
tano nyori tamyo cha nuwa dotange kiriti-kiriti fiye kabak dor bitiner, di na weu kiriti win chi fwetanche, chwile kalewo nin na tum bwirangke, cho chwi cho nẽẽ ken gor chere. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
ki bilengke ba nyumom kalewo kwama fwel ki ker cer, wori dike brombo to ti ki nuweu fwelu bo dike to ti ki nuweu. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
Yeesu kiritti dong-dong wure, duwen, kwatti diiri. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
la kwama for neereu, wo kungu nii to ka kwameko durko bwareu, Teluwe be Yeesu kiristi ki bwiyale wore diiyeu, (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Adum kom ki wi dike bro yor-yoreu gwam nako ma dike co cwitiyeu, kom manangenti more nye. dike wo a lom cinen tiyeu, mor Yeesu kiristi, wo duktangka na ce diiri atinyo. (aiōn g165)
[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 g1067)
(parallel missing)
[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 g165)
Na wo mo yiloteneu kebo ki dumbo wo kaya ti kaya, dumbo wo mani fwiyereu ki ker kwama, wii ki dume bak nin bak. (aiōn g165)
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
Dii ker kwamaro t kwatti diim kerowo co fule kero ca yi kumeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Mawuro gwam na kwama fiya caklanka mor denbiwecr yecu caklanka na yecuce diri atiyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Biko kom nuwa dotan-nge be dob, kwama nii luma wo cokkom mor liyar duktanka ce fiye kritti an ne kom bi kwan na mwekom. (aiōnios g166)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Liyar nace diri diri. Dong dong. (aiōn g165)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)

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 g5020)
Nyori kwama dobbo nobtomangem ce wucare woma morkumtacile bwiranke, la nyore kwama tunken ci morkumtacile bware, naci ku, kenci luwe kumtacile tabe, kiduka ningtang bolangti. (Tartaroō g5020)
[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 g165)
dwi mor luma kange nyomka teluwe nii fuloka Yeecu kiritti duktangka na ce diri-diri (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
dumeu lan fwetanco, bon warker nyon yi kom fulen kerero kwatti diiriyeu, wuro ki no teenmeu lan kwa dir cer (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
dor bitinero ti cui kange dilanka ceko na nii ma dike kwama cwitiyeu con nowi kwatti diri (aiōn g165)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
noro co nebeu dume diiriyeu, (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
nii wona ko ke ce tiyeri nii twalka duwek. lakom nyumom dume diiriyeu man na nii twalka duweko ce. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
wuro co kero, kwama nebo dume wo man ki dika dume wuro wi mwor bibwe ce (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
mi mulang kumen wuro na kom nyimom kom wi ki dume manki dika wi kumen nubo buro bilangke ki de kwama (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)

All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
ker bilenkero wo bineneu an yii tibinen diiri (aiōn g165)
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 g126, questioned)
nob. tomange ce wucakke wuro tabo dur bikwan ciyere di cin dubom fiye ciye kwattiye, kwama bwelmaro diri mor kumtacile fir nimde kakuko durko, wo bolange ce. (aïdios g126)
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]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Ci nyo na saduma kange Gomarata, kange bertinimbo kentangum kange ciyeu wuro neken dor ciyero kayaka, ci bwangten dilankakoti wo kebo wo daten. di cin yilam diker danke wuro ci nuwa kira manki dika. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165, questioned)
cin mwelangka mwemek wima wo ki ki bibutetwele, ci kwilangti mor funi kwenduwe ciye. Ciki no nabitirendo certiye wuro ci tank kumtacili fi kiriti kiriti diri diri. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Kom tam dor kumero mor cwika kwama, tak kom nintang cireduwe teluwe yeesu Almasiya wo boti ki dume diriye. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Fiye kwama wine nii fulokabe fiye Yeesu Almasiya Teluwe, duktangka, dur kange liyar kange bikwan a no nimde fiyang gwam, nawo kange diri, A ti nyo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Yilam yokenbo wob liyarebceb, nob kwa ama ceb kange teeceduktangka kange bikw amliyaret kino fiye awiye diri, afi nyo. (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
Fiya chuwo dike buro ki dume ne duktongka, dur kange buka kangeke ri, nobbo durko wo kuni yob chulombo naaren, yarken bitine kabum nii wo yiim kutile liyare wab cho wo fuloti bak-ni-bakeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
chi yoken wambile liyare chiweu kabum kutile liyare, takti ki, (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Min nuwa dike chi fuli, dii kwaam, kange kale, kange mor kale kange wo dor wima, gwam dikero more chiye tokti ki, “Fiye nii wo yim kutile liyareu, fiye be kwame ninne, a ne chaklamka, dur, duktongka kange bi kwan liyaret bak-ni-bak”. (aiōn g165)
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 g86)

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 g165)

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 g12)
Dila nii tomange nung'eu cu cumeceu. Minto bitirendo dii kwama yanu bou dorbitiner. Ciine bitirendowo nyilo nurekowo manikiyikau. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
Wumom nyilo nurekowo maniki yikau, La yilombo cirou na yilombo buwak kirake diore. Kakuk kang yuwako yilam kumta cile, kiker yilomero ceruuti nyilo buwake ninneu. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
Ciin wiki kange naliya dorciir, nii tomange buwakko maniki yika. Dencero ki Ibrancin Abadon, Ki Helengnci ri Afoliyon. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165)

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 g12)
Kambo cii dim worko cori, Atrican tureidorcir twalumci. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165)
Lana nyime niitowange nibereu cu cumeceu, dila dirtinimbo ciya ciyau tokker dikwame ki, “Liyarodor bitineru yilam liyar teluweber kangewo Almaciyaceceu. Anma liyaro diri drir.” (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Man tô bwetomange wucchake kang-nge kweni tiber dii kwama, wo ki fulen do bak lumi nyeu, a yi dorbitinerotiye, na wo a yii bertinimbo ti gwamme kang-nge nyini, kang-nge nubo. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Yilom dotang-nge chiye to kweni dii diri-diri, take chi mankind fobka kume Lange kalck-buro chi nubo chi wab bi chirp Lange dubi che, Lange gwam buro yo yirom dene che. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Win mor fuléwo nar kwache né bibei tomange wuchak ni bere tacha mwine niber olinki funer kwamar wo kwarche diri diriyeu. (aiōn g165)
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 g12)
Bisiro wo mo to kwattiyeu, mari can, darom a ceruti-mor buwarke cuwau, la can yakan twalan ka. Nubo yim dor bitinereu, ki kulka dor bitinereu. ci an nyuma ngi na ci tobisiro wo wi kwatti mani can, la da-dom bouka. (Abyssos g12)
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Ciin tok ker owo yobe ceu. Haliluya yilombo ceru cinen bak-nin bak. (aiōn g165)
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 g3041 g4442)
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 g12)
La min to ni nagen kwama yirauti firen di kwama, wiki diker kang cek. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
Ciin merken co mor buwakke wo manki dikau nung. co kwati dur liyar cerwi dor cer. Nyo na wo kariyilo ci bolangten nubo nyombo ker kwamaere wo adimti coro lam bikate. bwiko wo di tam nyo a nyamkang cimen bi duwar. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
[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 g86)
Wima nubo wanang mureceu. Bwararo kange lo bibwetinim, nubo bwangten mbwanang mureceu ci macimen bolang dong dong kange diker ci maneu. (Hadēs g86)
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 g3041 g4442)
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 g165)
kume ka-nge man tak, mani ciya do'o filang tal kiristi kaka filang kakuker, wori Teluwe kwama an wen cinen. ci an ca liyar bak-ni-bak. (aiōn g165)
Questioned verse translations do not contain Aionian Glossary words, but may wrongly imply eternal or Hell
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. (questioned)
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. (questioned)
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]. (questioned)
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]. (questioned)
“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]. (questioned)
“[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].” (questioned)
[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].

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].” (questioned)
“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]. (questioned)
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]. (questioned)
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].” (questioned)
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].” (questioned)
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.” (questioned)
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.

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] (questioned)
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]. (questioned)
And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
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] (questioned)
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}. (questioned)
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]. (questioned)
