I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs )

If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]!

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 )
Atamuno yeleyo, che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵaŵechete pangali lipamba, “Yaŵajilwe kuti Liloŵe lya Akunnungu litande kusalikwa kaje kwa ŵanyamwe.

Ambuje ni iyakuti pakusala, ŵelewo ni ŵaŵatesile yelei imanyiche chitandile kalakala ko.’” (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 )
Chitandile Akunnungu paŵagumbile chilambo, ukombole wao wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni Unungu wao, ikuwoneka pangasisika namuno ngaikuoneka ni meeso. Ŵandu akukombola kuumanyilila kwa indu yagumbile. Kwapele ŵandu ngakombola kulichenjela kwa yaili yose. (aïdios )
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God.

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 )

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 )

[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 )
Pakuŵa mbote ja sambi jili chiwa nambo ntuuka waakukoposya Akunnungu uli umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu Ambuje ŵetu. (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!)

“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 )
Atamuno kasinliusya kuti, “Ŵaani juchatuluche mu lisimbo lyangali mbesi kuti annyichisye Kilisito pachanya?” (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 )
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaatesile ŵandu wose aŵe ŵangajitichisya kuti ŵakolele chanasa ŵanawose. (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 )
Pakuŵa indu yose ipanganyikwe ni ŵelewo, ni ili kwa ukombole wao ni kwa liwamba lyao. Akunnungu akuswe moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Nkansyasya indu ya pachilambo pano nambo Akunnungu ajigalausye miningwa jenu kuti mmanyilile unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Nipele chinkombole kulimanyilila lisosa lya Akunnungu lyalili lyambone ni yakuti pakusaka ŵanyamwe mme. (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 )
Sambano Akunnungu akuswe! Ŵelewo akukombola kunlimbisya mu chikulupi malinga ni Ngani Jambone jingulalichila ji yankati Che Yesu Kilisito, ni malinga ni uunukuko wa usyene uwaliji usisikwe chitandile kalakala. (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 )
Nambo sambano usyene wo uunukulikwe kwa litala lya malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu. Ni kwa makanyo ga Akunnungu wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi umanyiche kwa ngosyo syose kuti ŵandu akombole kwakulupilila ni kwajitichisya. (aiōnios )
[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 )
Nipele, kwa Akunnungu jika pe, ŵakwete lunda lose, upagwe ukulu kukwakwe kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito, moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo! (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 )
Alikwapi jwakwete lunda? Alikwapi jwakwiganya malajisyo? Alikwapi jwakumanyilila kutagula indu ya pachilambo? Akunnungu alutesile lunda lwa chilambo chino luŵe uloŵelo. (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 )
Tukulalichila utenga wa lunda kwa aŵala ŵakusile mu chikulupi nambo ngaŵa lunda lwa chilambo chino, namose ngaŵa lunda lwa aŵala achakulu ŵa chilambo chi ŵaali mumpingo wakupotela. (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 )
Tukunlalichila lunda lwa Akunnungu lwalusisiche, alula lunda luŵalusagwile Akunnungu kwaligongo lya kulumbikana mu ukulu wao chikanaŵe gumbikwa chilambo. (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 )
Nganijupagwa namose jwankulu jumo mwa ŵakutawala chilambo chi jwalumanyilile lunda lu. Akalumanyilile ngakammambe pa nsalaba Ambuje ŵa ukulu. (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 )
Mundu jwalijose akalilambusya nsyene, iŵaga mundu mwa ŵanyamwe akuliganisya kuti ali ni lunda lwa chilambo chino, mbaya aŵeje jwakuloŵela kuti akole ni lunda lusyene. (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 )
Nipele chakulya chankuŵasyaga njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi, ngangulya nyama ng'o, pakuŵa nalyaga chinanneŵesye njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi. (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 )
Yeleyo yose yaagwilile ŵanyawo kuti uŵe tujiganyikwe, yalembekwe kutujamuka uweji ŵatuli mmoŵa gaambesi. (aiōn )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )
“Ana ugwe chiwa, kupunda kwenu kuli kwapi? Ana ugwe chiwa machili genu gagakwika nako kupoteka galikwapi?” (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 )
Ni ŵelewo ngakukulupilila pakuŵa nganisyo syao syetaje chipi ni achisoka, ŵaali nnungu ŵa pachilambo pano, kuti akakombola kuliwona lilanguka lya Ngani Jambone ja ukulu wa Kilisito, ŵaali chisau ni Akunnungu yatite kuŵa. (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 )
Kulaga kwetu kuli kwamwana sooni kuli kwa katema kakajipi nambo kukutupa ukulu waukupunda nnope, ukulu wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wauli wambone kupunda kulaga kwatuli nako. (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 )
Tukailolela yaikuwoneka nambo tuilolele yangaikuwoneka. Pakuŵa aila yaikuwoneka ili ya katema kakajipi nambo yangaikuwoneka ili ya moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Pakuŵa tuimanyi yakuti chiilu chetu cha paasi pano chili mpela lisakasa lyalikukomboleka konasikwa, ni chajonasikwaga, Akunnungu chachitupa chiilu chachili mpela nyuumba kwinani, nyuumba jangataŵikwa ni makono ga ŵandu nambo jitaŵikwe ni Akunnungu nsyene ni jichijitame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Jwele jwakwapa ŵakulaga kwa kusangalala. Umbone wakwe ukutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (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 )
Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje Che Yesu akuswe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ŵelewo akuimanyilila kuti ngangulambusya. (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 )
Kilisito ŵalityosisye asyene kuŵa mbopesi kwa ligongo lya sambi syetu kuti atukulupusye pachilambo changalumbana cha sambano chi, kwa usache wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni Atati. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Twakusye Akunnungu moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Pakuŵa mundu jwakupanda kwakusikuya tama syangalumbana syapagwile nasyo, chaagungule uwonasi nambo jwakupanda kwa kulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, chagungule umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Kweleko Kilisito ali jwankulu pachanya pa achakulu wose ni ŵaali ni ulamusi wose ni machili ni mamwenye. Ni liina lyakwe lili lyekulu pachanya meena gaakupegwa ŵandu pa chilambo chi ni chilambo chachikwika. (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 )
Katema ko mwatemi malinga ni wende wangalimate wa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino. Mwampilikanichisye jwankulu jwa masoka ga machili jwa kwiunde, lisoka lyalikwatawala sambano ŵandu ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu. (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 )

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 )
Nasagulikwe kuti naalosye ŵandu wose chantemela cha Akunnungu yachikuti pakupanganya masengo. Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile indu yose, ŵasisile chantemela cho kwa iŵelesi yose chitandile kalakala. (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
Akunnungu ŵatesile yele kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu mpela iŵasachile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Elo, twakusye Akunnungu kwa litala lya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu nsyene, katema kose ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (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 )

Ukulu uŵe kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (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 )
ni liloŵe lyo lili chantemela chichasisiche kwa ŵandu wose chitandile kalakala, nambo sambano chimanyichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. (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 )
Kwamukwa kwawo chikuŵe konangwa kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni kutalikanganywa ni Ambuje ni kutalikanganywa ni ukulu wa ukombole wao, (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 )

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 )

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 )
Sambano kwa Mwenye ŵa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nombe ŵangakuwa namose ŵangakuwoneka, ni ŵaali Akunnungu ŵajika, ŵandu wose ŵaape luchimbichimbi ni ukulu mmoŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Mmeje jwakupunda mu kumenyanila liloŵe lyambone lya chikulupi, nkakole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, uwammilanjile katema pamwajitichisye mwasyene kwakuchitanga chikulupi chenu paujo pa ŵandu ŵa umboni ŵajinji. (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 )

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 )
Mwasalile ŵaali ŵachipanje mu chilambo chasambano chino kuti akalifuna, atamuno akasachiŵika chilolelo chao mu ipanje yangaikukulupilichika. Nambo ŵakulupilile Akunnungu ŵakutupa indu yose mkuchuluya kuti tukole lukondwa mu yele. (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 )
Ŵelewo ŵatukulupwisye ni kutuŵilanga kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe, ngaŵa kwa isambo yetu yambone itwaitesile, nambo kwa ligongo lya kusaka kwao asyene ni kwa umbone wao. Ni ŵatupele umbone wao kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu chitandilile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )

[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 )
Pakuŵa che Dema ŵainonyele indu ya pachilambo chino, ŵanesile ni kwaula ku Sesalonike. Che Kilesike ajawile ku Galatia ni che Tito ajawile ku Dalimatia. (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 )
Ambuje changulupusye ni indu yose yangalumbana ni kung'osa mpaka ichile ku umwenye wao wa kwinani. Ukulu uŵe kwa ŵele moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Chikulupi ni umanyilisi wa usyene wu ikutupa chilolelo cha umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Akunnungu ŵangakombola kusala ya unami, ŵatupele chilanga cho chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo. (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 )
Nombewo ukutujiganya kuti tuleche chigongomalo ni tama syangalumbana sya pachilambo pano, tutameje kwa kulilongosya achinsyene ni kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kutama kwa kwanonyelesya Akunnungu mu chilambo chino, (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 )
kuti kwa umbone wao tukombole kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone ni kuukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi utukuulolela. (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 )
Panepa lyeleli lili ligongo, che Onesimo ŵalekangene ni mmwe kwa katema, kuti auje sooni kukwenu ni kutama ni jwelejo moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Nambo moŵa ga mbesi gano aŵechete nowe kwa litala lya Mwanagwe, jwapegwilwe ni Akunnungu indu yose iŵe yakwe, nombe kwa litala lya jwelejo ŵachigumbile chilambo chose. (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 )
Nambo nkati Mwana, Akunnungu akuti, “Umwenye wenu, alakwe Akunnungu chiutame moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Nkwalongosya ŵandu ŵenu kwa kwanonyelesya Akunnungu. (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 )
Iyoyo ŵatite sooni peuto pane Mmalembo ga Akunnungu kuti, “Mmwejo ni Jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela uwatite kuŵa umbopesi wa Melikisedeki.” (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 )
Ni paŵamasile kuŵa ŵa utindimisyo mu yose, ŵaliji ndande ja ukulupusyo wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi kwa ŵandu wose ŵakwajitichisya. (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 )
Ni indu yankati majiganyo ga ubatiso ni yakwasajichila ŵandu makono, ni majiganyo nkati kusyuka kwa ŵawe ni majiganyo nkati kulamula kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
ni ŵaupasisye umbone wa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni machili ga chilambo chachikwika cho, (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 )
Che Yesu ŵalongolele kwinjila mwelemo kwa liwamba lyetuwe. Atendekwe Jwambopesi Jwankulu kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela wautite kuŵa umbopesi wa Melikisedeki. (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 )
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gaŵalanjile umboni wati, “Mmwejo ndi Jwambopesi mpela wautite pakuŵa umbopesi wa Melikisedeki.” (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 )
Nambo Che Yesu atendekwe Jwambopesi nkulumbila, katema Akunnungu paŵansalile, “Ambuje alumbile ni ngasagalausya ‘Mmwejo ni jwambopesi kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.’” (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
Nambo Che Yesu nganaŵa mpela ŵanyawo ni akutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umbopesi wakwe ngaukukombola kupegwa mundu jwine. (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 )
Malajisyo ga che Musa gakwasagula ŵandu ŵakulepetala kuŵa ŵambopesi achakulu, nambo lilangano lya Akunnungu liŵaŵisile kwa kulumbila ni sooni lilyaiche mu nyuma mwa malajisyo lyambisile Mwana, jwatendekwe jwamalilwe kwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Ŵelewo ŵajinjile peuto Papaswela nnope kamo pe. Nombewo nganajinjila mwelemo ali ajigele miasi ja mbusi atamuno ja ng'ombe jamwana kwa ligongo lya kutyosya mbopesi, nambo ŵajinjile ali ajigele miasi jakwe nsyene. Ni kwa litala lyo ŵatupele chiwombosyo cha moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Ana miasi ja Kilisito ngajitenda kugapunda gelego? Kwa machili ga Mbumu jwakutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi, Kilisito ŵalityosisye nsyene kwa Akunnungu kuŵa mbopesi jemalilwe. Ni miasi jao jo jikuswejesya miningwa jetu kutyochela mu masengo gagakwichisya chiwa kuti twatumichile Akunnungu ŵajumi. (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 )
Kwa ligongo lyo, Kilisito ali jwakwilanya jwaichenalyo lilangano lyasambano. Kwa litala lya chiwa chao ŵawombwele ŵandu mu ileŵo yaitesile katema ka lilangano lyaandanda kuti aŵala uŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu apochele chilanga cha indu iŵagosele moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Ikaliji yeleyo, Kilisito akaŵajilwe kulagaswa kakajinji kutandila gumbikwa chilambo. Nambo katema kano pakakuŵandichila kumala, ŵelewo akopochele kamo pe, kulechelesya sambi sya ŵandu kwa kulityosya nsyene mbopesi. (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 )
Kwa chikulupi tukumanyilila kuti chilambo chagumbikwe kwa liloŵe lya Akunnungu, namose indu yaikuwoneka yagumbikwe mu indu yangaikuwoneka. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Che Yesu Kilisito ali julajula, liiso ni lelojino ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Akunnungu ŵa chitendewele ŵaŵansyusisye Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu, Jwakuchinga Jwankulu jwa ngondolo kwa miasi jajikulosya kuti lilangano lya moŵa gose pangali mbesi lili lya usyene. (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 )
Antende ŵanyamwe ŵamalilwe mu indu yose kuti nkombole kupanganya lisosa lyao, nombewo atende mwenumwe yaikwanonyelesya, kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito. Ukulu uŵe ni ŵelewo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (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 )
Nombe lulimi luli mpela mooto. Lugumbele igongomalo ya pachilambo. Lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nambo lukukombola kuchinyakasya chiilu chose. Lukutinisya umi wetu chitandile kupagwa mpaka kuwa, kwa mooto waukutyochela ku jehanamu. (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 )
Pakuŵa mpagwile kaaŵili ngaŵa kwa mundu jwakuwa nambo kwa mundu jwangakuwa, lisyene lili Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyalili lyalijumi, ni lyalikulama moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
Nambo, liloŵe lya Ambuje likulama moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” Liloŵe lyo lili Ngani Jambone jajilalichilwe kukwenu. (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 )
Jwakulalichila jwalijose, akusachilwa kuutyosya utenga wa Akunnungu.

Ukulu ni ukombole uŵe kwa ŵelewo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (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 )
Nambo mwamalaga kulagaswa kwa katema kakajipi, Akunnungu ŵaali ŵambone mu wose ŵaŵammilasile njinjile mu ukulu wao wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Ŵelewo asyene chantende ŵamalilwe ni kuntaga machili ni kuntenda njime mwakulimbila mu nsingi wakulimba. (aiōnios )
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kwa ŵelewo kupagwe ukombole moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Pakuŵa mwatendaga yele, chinkundikwe kwinjila mu Umwenye wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wa Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito. (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 )
Akunnungu nganatenda chanasa kwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani paŵatesile sambi, nambo ŵajasile ku jehanamu. Kweleko ataŵikwe minyolo mu chipi totoloo, achilindililaga lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa. (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 )
Nambo njendelechele kukula mu umbone wa Akunnungu, ni iyoyo mu nkwamanyilila Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Kwa ŵelewo uŵe ukulu sambano namose moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Jwele jwakwikanawo umi wo paŵaiche, twammweni, noweji tukuŵalanga umboni ni kunlalichila ŵanyamwe nkati umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Jwelejo ŵaliji kwa Atati ni sambano atukopochele uweji. (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 )
Chilambo ni indu yakuilajila ŵandu ikupita, nambo mundu jwakuipanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu, jwelejo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
Achi ni chilanga chaatulanjile Kilisito, chaatupe umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Mundu jwalijose jwakunchima njakwe ali jwauulasi ni ŵanyamwe nkwimanyilila, jwauulasi nganakola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi munkati mwakwe. (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 )
Umboni wene ni au, Akunnungu ŵatupele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umi wo ukupatikana kwa Mwanagwe. (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 )
Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe aga, kuti mmanyilile yakuti nkwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵanyamwe ŵankunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu. (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 )
Noweji tukumanyilila kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu amasile kwika, nombejo atupele umanyilisi kuti twamanyilile Akunnungu ŵa usyene.

All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn )
ligongo lya usyene wo waukutama munkati mwetu, nombe chiutame nowe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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)
Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanganakwanikwa ni ulamusi wao, ni kupaleka paŵasachilwe kutama, Akunnungu ŵaŵisile mu chipi ni kwataŵa kwa nyolo moŵa gose pangali mbesi kwa ligongo lya kulamulikwa pa lyuŵa lyekulungwa lila. (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]. (aiōnios , questioned)
Iyoyopeyo, ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma ni ku Gomola ni misi jajiŵandikene nawo ŵalinonyelesye kwa chigwagwa ni kupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kutendekwa pa chiilu. Alamulikwe kwa kutama pa mooto wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi kuti aŵe chitagu kwa ŵandu ŵane. (aiōnios )
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)

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 )
Ntame mu unonyelo wa Akunnungu nchalolelaga Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito kuti kwa chanasa chakwe ampeleche ku umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Ŵelewo ŵaali Akunnungu ŵamope, Nkulupusyo jwetu, akole ukulu, ni umwenye ni ukombole ni ulamusi kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu, chitandile kalakala, sambano ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Atutesile tuŵe ŵambopesi mu umwenye kuti twatumichile Akunnungu Atati ŵao. Ku Che Yesu Kilisito upagwe Ukulu ni ukombole moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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 )
Sooni ndili jwanjumi, naliji wile, nnole ndili jwanjumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ngwete ukombole wa kwatenda ŵandu awe ni ngwete ukombole wa kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. (aiōn , Hadēs )
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
Yepanganyikwe yejumi yo ikwimba nyiimbo sya kwakusya ni kwalapa ni kwatogolelo ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye, ŵelewo ŵaali ŵajumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Ni paikutenda yeleyo, achachekulu ishilini na nne ŵala akuligoneka manguku pa sajo sya ŵelewo ŵakutama pachitengu cha umwenye, ni akwapopelela ŵele ŵakutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ŵaŵikaga indu yao yaili mpela singwa paujo pa chitengu cha umwenye achitiji: (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 )
Naipilikene yepanganyikwe yose yaili kwinani ni pachilambo ni paasi pachilambo ni mu bahali ni yose yaili mwelemo naipilikene ilinkwimba: “Ukulu ni luchimbichimbi ni lumbili ni ukombole, uŵe kwa ŵelewo ŵakutama pa chitengu cha umwenye ni kwa Mwanangondolo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi”. (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 )

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 )

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 )
Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jwa nsano ŵagombile lipenga lyakwe. None najiweni ndondwa jijagwilile pachilambo nombejo jwapegwilwe chiugulilo cha mbugu chakuugulila Lisimbo lyangali mbesi. (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 )
Nipele paŵajiugwile mbugu ja Lisimbo lyangali mbesi, lyosi lyatutwime kutyochela mwisimbo mula lyaoneche mpela lyosi lyalikututuma mu ng'aso jajikulungwa. Lyuŵa ni kwiunde kwaunikwe ligongo lya lyosi lyalikututuma mwisimbo mula. (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 )
Sooni akwete mwenye jwakwatawala nombejo ali katumetume jwa kwinani jwapegwile ulamusi nkati alila Lisimbo lyangali mbesi, liina lyakwe mchiebulania lili Abadoni ni mchigiliki akuŵilanjikwa Apolioni, meena ganagaŵili go malumbo gakwe “Jwakonanga.” (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 )

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 )
Nambo patachimalisya kuŵalanga umboni wao, chinyama chachikali kutyochela Mwisimbo lyangali mbesi chichimenyane nawo ni kwapunda ni kwaulaga. (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 )
Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jwa saba ŵagombile lipenga lyakwe.

Nombewo chatawale moŵa gose pangali mbesi!” (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 )

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 )

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 )
Ni jumo jwa ŵele ŵapanganyikwe ŵajumi ncheche ŵapele achikatumetume ŵa kwinani saba mbale saba sya sahabu syasigumbule lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu, ŵaali ŵajumi moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 )
Chinyama chachikali chimwachiweni chili chachijumi kundanda, sambano chiwile. Nambo pachiŵandi chakopoche mu Lisimbo lyangali mbesi nambo chajonanjikwe.

[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
Nombewo kaaŵili ŵatite, “Alapikwe Akunnungu! Lyosi lya mooto waukutinisya musi ula likukwela mwinani moŵa gose pangali mbesi!” (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 )

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 )
Nipele nammweni katumetume jwa kwinani achiikaga kutyochela kwinani mu nkono wakwe akamulile chiugulilo cha Lisimbo lyangali mbesi pamo ni unyolo wekulungwa. (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 )

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 )

[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 )

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 )
Nipele chiwa ni kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile yaponyekwe mu litanda lya mooto. Lyele litanda lya mooto lyo lili chiwa chaaŵili. (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 )
Mundu jwalijose jwangawoneka liina lyakwe kulembekwa mu chitabu cha umi, ŵaponyekwe pa litanda lya mooto. (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 )
Nambo ŵandu ŵa woga ni ŵandu ŵangakukulupilila ni ŵandu ŵa wamba ni ŵa kuulaga ni ŵandu ŵa chigwagwa ni ŵandu ŵa usaŵi ni ŵandu ŵakuchipopelela chinyago ni ŵandu ŵa umani wose, liuto lyao lili litanda lya maganga gaakukolela mooto, chele chili chiwa chaaŵili.” (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 )
Chilo ngachipagwa sooni, atamuno ngaasaka lulanga lwa lumuli pane lyuŵa, pakuŵa Ambuje Akunnungu chiŵaalanguchisye, nombewo chalongosye nti mamwenye moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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]. ()
