But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna )

[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET].

A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever.

[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever.

What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn )

Ndava nakuuleka mpungu wangu kulitinda, wala kumlekekesa Msopi waku awola. (Hadēs )
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 )
Daudi agaweni kwakona mambu aga gegihengeka na Chapanga, hinu akajova ndava ya kuyuka kwa Kilisitu, lukumbi peajovili, ‘Nakulekewa mu litinda la mbugu, higa yaki yawoli lepi.’ (Hadēs )
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 )

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 )
Pauli na Banaba vakalongela kwa ukekesi neju, “Yaganikiwi Lilovi la Chapanga litumbula kuvahikila hoti nyenye, nambu ndava mulibelili na kuvya nakuhotola kupokela wumi wa magono goha, hinu tikuvaleka na kuvahambila vandu vangali Vayawudi. (aiōnios )
While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios )
Vandu vangali Vayawudi pevayuwini lijambu lila vakavya na luheku, vakaulumbalila ujumbi wa Bambu na vevahaguliwi vala kupewa na wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, vakavya vamsadika. (aiōnios )
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn )
Ndi cheajovili Bambu, mweagamanyisi mambu aga kuhuma kadeni.’” (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 )
Kutumbula Chapanga peawumbili mulima, makakala gaki ga magono goha gangali mwishu na uchapanga waki, chewimanyikana hotohoto hati ngati uloleka lepi kwa mihu. Nambu vandu vihotola kuulola kwa vindu vyeawumbili Chapanga. Hinu vandu vavi lepi na chindu chakujikengelela! (aïdios )
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn )
Vakuung'anamusa uchakaka wa Chapanga kuvya udese, vakuvigundamila na kuvihengela vindu vyeviwumbiwi pahala pa Chapanga, vakumlumba lepi muwumba mwene mweiganikiwa kulumbiwa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
[Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios )
Vandu vala veviyendelela kukita gabwina, kuni vigana utopesa ukulu na wumi wangahalabika, vandu ava Chapanga yati akuvapela wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios )
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios )
Hinu, ngati kubuda chekwatalalili na kuleta lifwa, mewawa ubwina wa Chapanga yati ulongosi munjila ya kuvakita vandu vavyai vabwina palongolo yaki na kuvalongosa vapatayi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu mu njila ya Yesu Kilisitu BAMBU witu. (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 )
Nambu hinu mmalili kugombolewa kuhuma ku uvanda wa kumbudila Chapanga na muvi vavanda va Chapanga. Chiyonjokesu chemuvi nachu hinu Umsopi ndi wewileta wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu. (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 )
Ndava muni luhuna lwa kumbudila Chapanga ndi lifwa, nambu njombi ya Chapanga ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, BAMBU witu. (aiōnios )
It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn )
Vene ndi vajukulu va vagogo va Vaebulania, namwene Kilisitu, mu umundu waki, ahumili mu lukolo lwavi. Chapanga mweitalalila goha alumbaliwayi magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos )
Amala ukoto kujikota, “Yani mwaihelela mbaka kuligodi langali mwishu? Muni amuyukisa Kilisitu kuhuma kwe vafwili.” (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 )
Muni Chapanga avakitili vandu voha kuvya vakungiwa vangamyidakila muni avahengela lipyana vandu voha. (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 )
Ndava muni vindu vyoha vihuma kwaki, vyoha vivii kwa makakala gaki, na vivii ndava yaki. Chapanga alumbiwayi magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Mkoto kulanda mambu ga mulima uwu, nambu Chapanga ang'anamusayi mitima yinu kwa kung'anamusa maholo ginu. Penapo ndi yati mwimanya maganu ga Chapanga gala gabwina gegamganisa mwene na cheigana nyenye muvyai. (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 )
Hinu timulumba Chapanga! Mwene ihotola kuvakangamalisa na kulandana na Lilovi la Bwina yenikokwisi ya Yesu Kilisitu na ugubukulo wa uchakaka wewafiyiki miyaka yamahele yeyipitili. (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 )
Nambu hinu, uchakaka wenuwo ugubukuliwi kwa njila ya mayandiku ga Vamlota va Chapanga, na kwa malagizu ga Chapanga wa magono goha geakitili gamanyikana kwa vandu va makabila goha, muni vasadikayi na kuyidakila. (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 )
Hinu kwa Chapanga ndu, ngamwene mweavi na luhala loha, uvya ukulu munjila ya Yesu Kilisitu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Avi koki mweavi na luhala? Avi koki mweasomili? Avi koki mweamanyili kudandaula mambu ga mulima? Wu, Chapanga ahengili lepi luhala lwa mulima uwu kuvya ndi uyimu? (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 )
Pamonga nene nikuvakokosela mambu ga luhala kwa vala vevakangili mtima, nambu mambu genago lepi vachilongosi va mulima uwu, veviyagisa makakala gavi. (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 )
Tikokosa mfiyu wa luhala lwa chapanga, ndi weufiyiki kwa vandu, ndi Chapanga amali kupanga kwakona kuwumbwa mulima ndava ya ukulu witu. (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 )
Kawaka hati chilongosi mmonga wa lusenje lwitu mweamanyili lijambu ili. Ndava muni ngati kuvya vamanyili, ngavamvambii lepi pamsalaba BAMBU mkulu. (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 yoyoha akotoka kujikonga, pagati yinu kujilola kuvya avi na luhala wa pamulima, mbanga avyai myimu muni apatayi luhala lwa chakaka. (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 )
Hinu, ngati chakulya chikumgwisa mlongo vangu, katu nilya lepi nyama, nikotoka kumgwisa mlongo vangu mukumbudila Chapanga. (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 )
Hinu, mambu genago gavakolili vene gavyai luhumu kwa vangi, na gayandikiwi muni kutihakalila tete vetitama lukumbi ulu lwa mwishu. (aiōn )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )
“Lifwa, kuhotola kwaku kuvili koki? Lifwa makakala gaku ga kuleta mvinisu uvi koki?” (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 )
Venavo vasadiki lepi muni yula Setani mweavi chapanga wa mulima uwu asopili chitita muluhala lwavi vakotoka kulola hotohoto lumuli lwa Lilovi la Bwina ga ukulu wa Kilisitu, mweavi ngati Chapanga cheavili. (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 )
Mang'ahiso gegakutikolela ndi gadebe, kavili galukumbi ndu, nambu yati gakutipela ukulu mvaha neju wa magono goha kuliku mang'ahiso aga. (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 )
Hinu tilola lepi vindu vyevilolekana, nambu tilola vindu vyangalolekana vya lukumbi ndu, nambu vila vyangalolekana ndi vya magono goha. (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 )
Muni timanyili kuvya lindanda lenili letitama hinu pamulima apa ndi higa yitu palitupuliwa, Chapanga yati akutipela pandu pangi kunani kwa Chapanga, nyumba ya magono goha yangajengwa kwa mawoko ga vandu. (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 )
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mwene iwusa kwa ubwina, akuvapela vangangu. Ubwina waki uvya magono goha.” (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 )
Chapanga Dadi wa BAMBU Yesu, liina laki lilumbiwa magono goha. Mwene amanyili kuvya nijova lepi udese. (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 )
Kilisitu ajiwusili mwene avya luteta ndava ya kumbudila kwitu Chapanga ndava ya maganu ga Chapanga Dadi witu muni atisangulayi kuhuma pamulima uwu uhakau wa hinu. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Chapanga alumbiwa magono na magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Ndava muni mundu yeyoha mweimija mu mnogo uhakau weavelikwi nawu yati ibena mwenumo uhakau, nambu akamija kwa kulongoswa na Mpungu yati ibena wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi. (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 )
Hinu, kwenuko, Kilisitu ndi chilongosi mkulu wa vachilongosi voha va kunani kwa Chapanga, na uhotola woha na makakala na vankosi voha na vachilongosi. Kila liina leliluwuliwa pamulima uwu, nambu mewa pamulima weubwela. (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 )
Lukumbi lula mweatamili kulandana na mtindu uhakau wa mulima wenuwo. Mwavi mwiyidakila chilongosi wa mizuka weuvi na makakala ga kunani, mzuka weukuvalongosa hinu vandu vangamyidakila Chapanga. (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 )
Akitili chenichi muni alangisa kwa lusenje lwoha ubwina wa Chapanga uvaha na wakukangasa mu njila ya lipyana laki mukuwungana kwitu na Kilisitu Yesu. (aiōn )
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn )
Nahaguliwi muni nivajovela vandu voha valola mpangu wa mfiyu wa Chapanga chewihenga lihengu. Chapanga mweawumbili vindu vyoha afiyili mfiyu waki kutumbula kadeni. (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
Chapanga ahengili lijambu lenili kulandana na mpangu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu leahegili, mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu. (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 )
Kwaki Chapanga kuvya ukulu kwa njila ya msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika na mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu mwene, lusenje lwoha magono na magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Muni ngondo yitu lepi pagati ya vandu, nambu ngondo ndava msambi wa manjolinjoli uhakau wa mulima wa chimpungu, titovana na vachilongosi na vakulu na vevana makakala vevitalalila mulima uwu wa chitita. (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
Ukulu uvya kwa Chapanga mweavi Dadi witu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
malovi ago gafiyiki kwa vandu voha kutumbula kadeni, chiveleku hati chiveleku nambu hinu gagubukuliwi kwa vandu vaki. (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 )
Mtovilu yati uvya kung'aiswa magono goha gangali mwishu na kuvikwa kutali na BAMBU na ukulu waki uvaha, (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 )
Tikumuyupa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu mwene na Chapanga Dadi witu ndi mweatigani kwa ubwina waki na kutikangamalisa mitima kwa kutipela uteke wa magono goha na huvalila ya bwina, (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 )
nambu Chapanga anihengili lipyana. Muni nene mwenavili nikumbudila Chapanga kuliku voha, Kilisitu Yesu alangisa ukangamala waki wangali mwishu muni kandahi nivya luhumu kwa vala vevakumsadika na kupokela wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu. (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 )
Kwaki mwene mweavi Nkosi wa magono goha, mwangafwa, mwangaloleka na mweavili Chapanga mwene, kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na ukulu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Tova ngondo yila yabwina ya sadika, muni upata njombi ya wumi wa magono goha, muni genago ndi gawakemeliwi na Chapanga, pewajovili wamwene ukumyidikila Kilisitu palongolo ya vandu vamahele. (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 )
Mwene ndu ihotola kutama magono goha gangali mwishu na ihotola kutama mu lumuli lwangahegelewa na mundu. Kawaka mundu mweamuwene amala mweihotola kumlola. Kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na uhotola wa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Valagiza vandu vevavili na vindu vyamahele magono aga, vakotoka kumeka, vakotoka kuhuvalila vindu vyangahuvalila, ndi vamuhuvalila Chapanga, mweakutipela vindu vyoha tivisangalukila ngati mashonga. (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 )
Mwene atisangwili na kutikemela tivya tavandu vaki mwene, lepi ndava ya matendu gitu, ndi muni ndava ya mota yaki. Tapewili ngati cheigana mwene na kwa ubwina waki wa Yesu Kilisitu kwakona lukumbi, (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 )
Hinu ndi nisindimala mukila chindu ndava ya vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga, muni na vene vapata ugombozi kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu, na vevileta ukulu wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Dema aganili mambu ga pamulima apa anilekili na kuhamba Tesalonike. Kilesike ahambili Galatia na Tito ahambili 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 )
Bambu yati akunisangula mu mambu goha gahakau, na kunitola mbaka muunkosi waki wa kunani. Kwaki uvya ukulu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Sadika yeniyi na umanya uwu vikutipela huvalila ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. Chapanga alagazili kutipela wumi hati kwakona mulima kuwumbwa. (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 )
Ubwina wenuwo wa Chapanga ukutiwula kuleka mambu gangamganisa Chapanga na mnogo woha uhakau wa pamulima, tivya na uhotola wa kuyitohola mitima, na kutama bwina palongolo ya Chapanga pamulima uwu weukumbudila Chapanga, (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 )
muni kwa ubwina waki utiyidakiwa palongolo ya Chapanga kuvya tavabwina na kuupokela wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu wehuvalila. (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 )
Pangi Onesimo awukili kwaku lukumbi lutali, muni uhotola kavili kuvya na veve magono goha. (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 )
Nambu magono aga ga mwishu, ajovili na tete munjila ya Mwana waki. Chapanga ndi mweapelili vindu vyoha kuvya vyaki, mewa ndi yuyoyo mweawumbili mulima woha. (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 )
Nambu kumvala Mwana, Chapanga ajovili, “Unkosi waku veve mewawa ndi mweuvili Chapanga yati wilongosa magono na magono goha gangali mwishu! Veve wilongosa vandu vaku kwa njila ya kumganisa Chapanga. (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 )
Mewawa ajovili, pandu pangi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Veve ndi Mteta wa magono goha gangali mwishu, ngati cheuvili uteta 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 )
Peamali kuvya mkamilifu mukila njila, avi utumbula wa usangula wa magono goha gangali mwishu kwa vandu voha vevakumyidakila, (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 )
mawuliwu kuuvala ubatizu na mawuliwu ga kuvikiwa mawoko na mawuliwu ga kuyuka na kuhamuliwa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
na kumyanga ubwina wa lilovi la Chapanga, na makakala ga mulima weubwela, (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 )
Yesu mwene alongolili kuyingila mwenumo ndava yitu, na avi Mteta Mkulu magono goha gangali mwishu, kwa kulanda uteta 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 )
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Veve ndi Mteta wa Chapanga wa magono goha gangali mwishu ngati cheuvili uteta 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 )
Nambu Yesu ahengiwi kuvya Mteta kwa chilapu lukumbi Chapanga peamjovili, “Bambu alapili, kangi ing'anamuka lepi maholo gaki, ‘Veve ndi mteta wa Chapanga magono goha gangali mwishu.’” (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
Nambu Yesu itama magono goha gangali mwishu, na uteta waki wihotoleka lepi kupewa mundu yungi. (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 )
Malagizu ga Musa gakuvahagula vandu vangolongondi kuvya vamteta vakulu va Chapanga, nambu malagizu ga Chapanga gahengili kwa chilapu chechibwela palongolo ya malagizu, gamhagwili Mwana mweakitiwi mkamilifu magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Mwene ayingili pandu Pamsopi Neju mala yimonga ndu, mwene agegili, lepi ngasi ya mene amala ya ng'ombi ndava ya kuwusa luteta, nambu kwa ngasi yaki mwene, akatipela usangula wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Yikavya naha, wu, ngasi ya Kilisitu yivya lepi na uhotola neju wa kutinyambisa? Kwa makakala ga Mpungu wa magono goha gangali mwishu. Kilisitu ajiwusili mwene kuvya luteta lwanga libala lwelunyambisa mitima yitu, ndava ya matendu gangafwayi, muni tihotola kumhengela Chapanga mweavi mumi. (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 )
Ndava yeniyo Kilisitu ndi mtepulanisi mwealetili lilaganu la mupya muni vala vevakemeliwi na Chapanga vihotola kupokela lilaganu la magono goha gangali mwishu levahaidiwi. Lenili lihotoleka ndava mu njila ya kufwa kwaki avagombwili vandu kuhuma muuhakau wavi wevahengili mu lukumbi lwa lilaganu la kadeni. (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 )
Muni kuvya gavyai genago, Kilisitu ngaang'aiswi pamahele kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima. Nambu hinu, lusenje peluhegelela mwishu waki, mwene ahumalili mala yimonga ndu, alekekesa kumbudila Chapanga kwa luteta lwaki mwene. (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 sadika tete timanya kuvya mulima wawumbiwi kwa lilovi la Chapanga, hati vindu vyeviwonekana vyawumbiwi kuhuma vindu vyangalolekana. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Yesu Kilisitu ndi yulayula golo, lelu na magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Chapanga wa uteke mweamyukisi Bambu witu Yesu, Mdimaji Mkulu wa mambelele kwa ngasi yeyilangisa lilaganu la chakaka magono goha gangali mwishu, (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 )
avakita nyenye kuvya mukangala mukila chindu chabwina chemwikita, muhotola kukita maganu gaki munjila ya Kilisitu ahenga gala gegakumganisa mwene mugati yinu. Ukulu uvya kwa Yesu Kilisitu magono na magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Mewawa lulimi ngati motu umemili uhakau, wenu ndi pandu padebe muhiga nambu wileta uhakau muhiga yoha. Ulimi usopa motu wumi witu woha kuhuma kuvelekewa mbaka kufwa. Kwa motu wewihuma kuligodi litali langali mwishu. (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 )
Ndava muni nyenye mpewili wumi wa mupya, lepi ngati vana vevahumili kwa mundu mweifwa nambu Dadi mweitama magono goha gangali mwishu, kwa njila ya ujumbi wa Chapanga weuvi mumi na weusindimala. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
Nambu lilovi la BAMBU lisigalila magono goha gangali mwishu.” Lilovi lenilo ndi Lilovi la Bwina lemwakokosiwi. (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 )
Mundu yoyoha akajova chindu, malovi gaki gavyai ngati malovi ga Chapanga. Mundu yoyoha mweihengela, akitayi kwa makakala geapewili na Chapanga, muni Chapanga alumbiwayi kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu. Ukulu na uhotola uvi na mwene magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Nambu mwakamala kung'ahika lukumbi luhupi, Chapanga mweavili na ubwina mugoha, mweavakemeli muyingila mu ukulu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa, na akuvapela makakala na kuvakita mkangamala kuyima mumkingisa weusindimili. (aiōnios )
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kwaki kuvya uhotola magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Kwa kukita genago yati myidikiliwa njwe kuyingila muunkosi wa magono goha gangali mwishu wa BAMBU na Msangula witu Yesu Kilisitu. (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 )
Yikavya Chapanga avahengili lepi lipyana vamitumi va kunani kwa Chapanga vevambudili, nambu avatagili pandu pepavi na mang'ahiso kuni vakungiwi minyololo kuchitita ng'ong'olo, vilindila ligono la kuhamuliwa. (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 )
Nambu muyendelela kukula mukummanya BAMBU witu na Msangula Yesu Kilisitu. Ukulu uvya kwaki, hinu na hati magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Na yula mweileta wumi peabwelili, tamuwene tavete na hinu tijova malovi gaki na tikuvakokosela na kuvajovela ndava ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, mwene avili kwa Dadi na hinu atihumili tete. (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 )
Mulima pamonga na vindu vyaki vyoha vyevakuvigana vandu vihamba nambu mundu mweikita geigana Chapanga, yati itama magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
Chila cheajovili Kilisitu kuvya yati akutipela ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Kila mweakumuvenga mlongo waki ndi mkomaji, na nyenye mumanyi kuvya mundu mkomaji avi lepi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Na uchakaka wene ndi uwu: Chapanga atipelili wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, na wumi wenuwo upatikana kwa Mwana waki. (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 )
Nivayandikili nambu mumanyayi kuvya muvinau wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, nyenye mwamukumsadiki Mwana wa Chapanga. (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 )
Tete timanyili kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga amali kubwela, na mwene ndi atikitili timmanya Chapanga wa chakaka. Na tete titama mukuwungana na Chapanga wa chakaka kwa njila ya kuwungana na Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu. Mwenuyu ndi Chapanga wa chakaka, na ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios )
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn )
tivaganili ndava muni uchakaka uwu utama mugati yitu na yati uvya na tete hati magono goha gangali mwishu. (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)
Na, vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vevangakola uhotola wavi vakaleka pandu pavi pevavikiwi na Chapanga, Chapanga avakungili kwa minyololo magono goha gangali mwishu na pachitita ng'ong'olo vilindila ligono lila likulu la uhamula. (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)
Kangi mkumbuka Sodoma na Gomola, na milima ya papipi yaki, vakolonjinji vaki vakitili chenicho ngati chevakitili vamitumu vala, vakitili ukemi na kulanda mambu ga muhiga yavi gegibeswa ndi vapewili uhamula wa kutagwa mumotu wangajimika wa magono goha gangali mwishu, muni yivya liwuliwu kwa vandu voha. (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)
Vandu avo vavi ngati mtimbuganu wa nyanja na mambu gavi gahakau gilolekana ngati lihuluhulu. Vavi ngati ndondo zeziyugayuga zezivikiwi na Chapanga pandu pa chitita ng'ong'olo cha magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn )
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios )
Na kutama muuganu wa Chapanga, mumlindila Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu avapela wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu mulipyana laki. (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 )
mwene mweavi Chapanga, msangula witu kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu Bambu witu. Uvya ukulu na unkosi makakala na uhotola kuhumila kutumbula kwakona kuwumbwa mulima hati hinu na magono goha gegibwela gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Atihengili tete tavankosi na vamteta va Chapanga muni tihengela Chapanga, muni vavalongosa vandu va milima yoha, Dadi waki. Kwaki Yesu Kilisitu uvya ukulu na makakala, magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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 )
Nene ndi mwenivi mumi! Nafwili, nambu, lola hinu ndi namumi magono goha gangali mwishu. Nivii na uhotola wa lifwa na mulima wa vandu vevafwili. (aiōn , Hadēs )
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
Vyeviwumbiki venivyo mcheche peviyimba lunyimbu lwa ulumba na ukulu na utopesa na kumsengusa mwenuyo mweatamili panani ya chigoda cha unkosi, mweitama magono na magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Pevihenga genago, vala vagogo ishilini na mcheche vakujigwisi palongolo ya magendelu na kwa yula mweitama panani ya chigoda cha unkosi na kugundamila yula mweitama magono na magono goha gangali mwishu. Na kuzivika njingwa zavi palongolo ya chigoda cha unkosi na kujova: (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 )
Nikayuwana viumbi vyoha kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima na pahi ya mulima na nyanja, viumbi vyoha pamulima vikajova: “Kwa mwene mweitama pachigoda cha unkosi na kwa Mwanalimbelele, ivya ulumba na utopela na ukulu na unkosi na makakala magono goha gangali mwishu.” (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 )
Kangi nikalola, na kumbi avili falasi mmonga apo langi yaki ya lyenge. Na liina la mweatamili panani ya falasi avili Lifwa, na mulima wa vandu vevafwili amlandili mumbele. Avo vevapewili uhotola wa lobo yimonga ya mulima, vavakoma vandu kwa upanga, njala, tauni na kwa hinyama hikali ya pamulima. (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 )
vijova, “Ena! Ulumba na ukulu na luhala na sengusa na utopesa na uhotola na makakala vivya kwa Chapanga witu, magono na magono gangali mwishu! Ena!” (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 )
Kangi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa mhanu akapyula lipenenga laki. Nene nayiwene ndondo yeyigwili panani ya mulima kuhuma kunani. Yene yapewili fungulu za kudindulila Ligodi langali mwishu. (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 )
Hinu, ndondo yeniyo yadindwili Ligodi langali mwishu, likahuma lyohi lawonikini ngati lyohi lelihuma kulitanulu livaha. Lilanga na kunani ndi vyagubikwi na lyohi wenuwo kuhuma wa ku Ligodi litali langali mwishu. (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 )
Kangi vavi na nkosi mweakuvalongosa, mwene ndi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweapewili uhotola wa Ligodi langali mwishu, liina laki kwa Chiebulania ndi Abadoni, na kwa Chigiliki ndi Apolioni, mana yaki ndi “Mkomaji.” (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 )
akalapa kwa liina la Chapanga mweitama magono goha gangali mwishu, Chapanga mweawumbili kunani na vindu vyoha vyevivii na mweawumbili nyanja vyoha vyevivii na mweawumbili pamulima na vyoha vyevivii. Akajova, “Lukumbi lwa kulindila neju lumaliki! (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 )
Nambu pevimala kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga, hinyama hikali yeyihuma ku Ligodi langali mwishu yati itovana nawu ngondo na kuvakoma. (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 )
Kangi, mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa saba akapyula lipenenga laki. Na lwami zamahele zivaha kunani kwa Chapanga zayuwaniki zikajova, “Hinu unkosi wa mulima ndi uhengiwi kuvya wa Bambu na Chapanga na Kilisitu mweamhagwili kuvya Msangula. Mwene yati ilongosa magono goha gangali mwishu!” (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 )
Kangi, namuwene mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yungi imbululuka kunani kuni avi na Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga la magono goha gangali mwishu, akokosa kwa vandu vevitama panani ya ndima na pamilima yoha na vandu va luga zoha na makabila goha na langi zoha. (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 )
Lyohi lya motu weukuvang'aha hukwela kunani magono goha gangali mwishu. Vandu avo vevakuchigundamila chinyama chikali na chimong'omong'o chaki na kusopiwa ulangisu liina laki, yati vipumulila lepi kilu na muhi.” (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 )
Kangi, mmonga wa viumbi vala mcheche akavapela vala vamitumu saba va kunani kwa Chapanga minkeve saba ya zahabu yeyamemili ligoga la Chapanga, mweavi mumi magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 chikali cheuchiwene chavi wumi wa kadeni nambu hinu chifwili. Nambu gapipi yati chikwela kuhuma muligodi langali mwishu nambu yati chikomewa. Vevitama pamulima yati vikangasa, ena vandu voha vangayandikwa mahina gavi kutumbula muchitabu cha wumi wa mulima, yati vikangasa kuchilola chinyama penapo kadeni chavi mumi, kavili chafwili na hinu chihumila kangi! (Abyssos )
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
Vakajova kavili, “Chapanga alumbiwa! Lyohi la motu weutinyisa muji wenuwo likwela mbaka kunani magono goha gangali mwishu!” (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 )
Nambu chinyama chila chakamuliwi kwa makakala pamonga na yula mlota wa Chapanga wa udese mweikita ganchinamtiti palongolo yaki. Kwa gachinamtiti yeniyo avayagisi vala vevavi na ulangisu wa chinyama chila na vevagundamili chimong'omong'o chila. Chinyama chenicho pamonga na mlota wa udese vakatagwa kuni vavili mumi munyanja ya motu weumemili maganga ga baluti gegiyaka motu. (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 )
Kangi naweni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, ihelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kuni akamwili muchiwoko chaki fungulu za ligodi langali mwishu na mnyololo uvaha. (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 )
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akalitaga liyoka lila kuligodi langali mwishu, akadinda mlyangu wa kuyingila kwenuko na kuvika chidindilu cha mnemu muni likoto kuvayagisa kavili vandu va milima yingi mbaka miyaka elufu yimonga payitimila. Nambu payimalika yiganikiwa lidinduliwayi kavili, nambu mulukumbi luhupi ndu. (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 )
Na Mhakau mweavayagisi vandu, akatagwa mugati ya nyanja yeyimemili maganga ga baluti gegiyaka motu, na mugati chavi chinyama chikali chila na yula mlota wa udese, na vene voha yati ving'aiswa muhi na kilu na magono goha gangali mwishu. (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 )
Nyanja yavahumisi vandu vevafwili vevavi mugati yaki. Lifwa na mulima wa vandu vevafwili zavahumisi vandu vevafwili vevavi mugati yaki. Vahukumiwi kila mmonga ndava ya matendu gaki. (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 )
Kangi lifwa na ligodi litali langali mwishu vikatagwa mugati ya nyanja ya motu. Nyanja yeniyi ya motu ndi lifwa la pili. (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 )
Ngati mundu yeyoha mweangayandikwa liina laki muchitabu cha wumi, yati itagiwi munyanja ya motu. (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 )
Nambu vandu veviyogopa na vangasadika na vahakau na vakomaji na vakemi na vahavi na veviyupa chimong'omong'o, pamonga na vadese voha pandu pavi ndi panyanja yila yeyiyaka motu na maganga ga baluti gegiyaka motu, lenilo ndi lifwa la pili.” (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 )
Kilu yati yivya lepi kavili, mewa yati vigana lepi lumuli lwa hahi amala lilanga, muni Bambu Chapanga yati akuvalangasa, vene vilongosa ngati nkosi magono goha gangali mwishu. (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]. ()
