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

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

You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios )
Gumupiti uwezu kwa wantu woseri, su guwayupi ukomu wa mashaka goseri woseri awa wagunupiti. (aiōnios )
[The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios )

Toziya hapeni guyileki rohu yaneni kulirindi lyalihera upeleru, pota kumleka mnanagala gwaku kawoli. (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 )
Dawudi kaviwoniti pamberi vitwatira Mlungu vyakagenda kuvitenda, su yomberi kayoweriti kuusu uzyukisiya wa Kristu pakatakuliti, ‘Kalekitwi ndiri mulirindi lyalihera upeleru, ama nshimba yakuwi iwoliti ndiri.’ (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 )
Ifiruwa yomberi kasigali aku kumpindi mpaka pashisoka shipindi kulekibishwa vintu vyoseri, handa Mlungu ntambu yakatakuliti kwa njira ya wambuyi wakuwi wananagala kwanjira makashu. (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 )
Kumbiti, Paulu na Barinaba wayoweriti kwa ugangamala nentu, watakula, “iweriti ndo mpaka shisoweru sha Mlungu shiwayiziri mwenga huti, kumbiti mushirema na kuwona mfiruwa ndiri ukomu wa mashaka goseri, su, tuwalekani na kuwagendera wantu wawawera Wayawudi ndiri. (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 )
Wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi pawapikaniriti vitwatira avi wanemeleriti, waukwisa ujumbi wa Mtuwa, na walii yawasyagulitwi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri, wawera wantu yawamjimira Yesu. (aiōnios )
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn )
Ndo ntambu yakatakula Mtuwa, yakatenditi shitwatira ashi kamanika kwanjira makashu.’ (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 )
Kwanjira Mlungu pakawumbiti pasipanu, zyumi zyakuwi na uwezu wakuwi wa mashaka goseri na umlungu wakuwi, tembera viwoneka ndiri kwa masu, womberi wavimaniti vintu vyakavinyawiti Mlungu. Su wantu hapeni waweri na shipayiru. (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 )
Womberi wawugalambula unakaka kuusu Mlungu kwa upayira, su waviguwira na kuvitendera vilii Mlungu vyakaviwumbiti pa mweni yakaumba, ndomweni kafiruwa kukwiswa mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Wantu walii yawatenda gaherepa na kusakula ukwisa na ligoya lya Mlungu na kotu kuhowa, Mlungu hakawapanani ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )
Handa vidoda ntambu yavikolitimlima mukuhowa, viraa manemu ga Mlungu gakolamlima muuheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu na gutulongoziya twenga muwukomu wa mashaka goseri kwa njira ya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu. (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 )
Kumbiti vinu mwenga mlopoziwa kala kulawa muvidoda na kuwera wamanda wa Mlungu. Mota yamuwera nayu vinu ndo unanagala na malawiranu gakuwi ndo ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )
Toziya shibenamgongu sha vidoda ndo kuhowa, kumbiti lifupu lya Mlungu ndo ukomu gwa mashaka goseri kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu Mtuwa gwetu. (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 )
Womberi wawera washiyiwuku kulawa kwa wazewi yawamanikana na Kristu munshimba yakuwi kalawa muukowu wawu. Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu yakakolamlima muvyoseri mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Ama nagukosiya, “Hashi, gaa hakasuluki mpaka kumambi kumjega Kristu kulawa kwa wahowiti katulopoziyi?” (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 )
Mlungu kawatatira wantu woseri muukondora wawu su kapati kuwawonera lusungu wantu woseri. (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 )
Toziya vintu vyoseri viumbitwi na mweni, vintu vyoseri viwera kupitira mweni na viwera kwa mweni. Ukwisa guweri kwakuwi mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )

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 )

Mlungu yakawera gweka yakuwi, yakawera na luhala, ndomweni kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, ukwisa uwera kwa mweni mashaka goseri. Yina haa. (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 )
Su kakoshi yakawera na luhala? Hashi, kakoshi mfunda gwa malagaliru? Hashi, kakoshi shikambaku gwa kutakuziyana gwa pasipanu? Mlungu kulanguziyiti kuwera luhala lwa pasipanu lyahera mahala. (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 )
Pamuhera na hangu, tubwera ujumbi wa luhala kwa walii yawakula murohu. Kumbiti luhala alu lwa pasipanu ndiri ama lwa wakolamlima ndiri wa pasipanu, yawagenda kwagamira. (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 )
Luhala lwanuwabwelera ndo luhala lwa bada ya Mlungu, luhala lwalufifikiti, yomberi lwakalusyaguliti kala kwanjira makashu kwajili ya ukwisa wa twenga, pamberi pa kuwumbwa pasipanu. (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 )
Kwahera ata mkolamlima yoseri gwa pasipanu yakalumaniti luhala alu. Handa mewalumaniti, womberi mewampingiki ndiri Mtuwa gwa ukwisa. (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 )
Namulipayira! Muntu yoseri pakati pa mwenga pakalihola kana luhala lwa ntambu ya pasipanu, mbaka kaweri mzyigizyigi su kapati kuwera na luhala lwa nakaka. (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 )
Hangu, handa shiboga shitenda kuguwa kwa mlongu gwangu katendi vidoda, hapeni ndiyi shinofu kayi, naniza kumtenda mlongu gwaneni katendi vidoda. (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 )
Su shitwatila ashi shiwapatiti shiwera mfanu kwa wamonga na galembitwi su kutuberiziya twenga, yatulikala mumashaka gapakwegera kupelera. (aiōn )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )
“Gwee kuhowa, kukanga kwaku kwakoshi? Gwee kuhowa makakala gaku ga kutenduwa gakoshi?” (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 )
Womberi wamini ndiri toziya Shetani mlungu gwa pasipanu, katula luwindu mumahala gawu nuwawona lupalahera ulangala wa Shisoweru Shiwagira sha ukwisa wa Kristu, yakalifaniti nakamu na Mlungu kwa ntambu zyoseri. (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 )
Ntabika zyatutabika ndidini hera na zya katepu hera, kumbiti hayitupanani ukwisa wa mashaka goseri yauwongereka nentu. (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 )
Su natuvilola vilii vyaviwoneka, kumbiti tuviloli hweri vintu vyaviwoneka ndiri. Toziya vyaviwoneka vilikala katepu hera, kumbiti vilii vyaviwoneka ndiri vyankulikala mashaka goseri. (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 )
Mana twenga tuvimaa kuwera shisasa ashi shatulikala pasipanu, ndo nshimba zyetu, pazitupulwa, Mlungu hakatupanani numba ya mashaka goseri kumpindi, numba ya mashaka goseri yayinyawilwa ndiri kwa mawoku ga wantu. (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 )
Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, “Yomberi kalaviyaga kwa manemu, Kawapanana wahushu, Uheri wakuwi wankulikala mashaka goseri.” (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 )
Mlungu, Tati gwa Mtuwa Yesu, litawu lyakuwi likwiswi mashaka goseri, yomberi kavimana kuwera neni mpaya ndiri. (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 )
yakalilaviyiti ulamweni toziya ya vidoda vya twenga su kapati kutukolopola mupasipanu padoda, teratera na mafiliru gakuwi mweni yakawera Mlungu na Tati gwetu. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kwakuwi Mlungu kuweri na ukwisa mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Yoseri yakayala kwa mafiliru ga vidoda vyaviwera mngati mwakuwi, kwa mafiliru aga hakabenangi uharibisiya, kumbiti ulii yakayala kwa kumfiriziya Rohu Mnanagala, mu Rohu ayu hakabenangi ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )
Aku Kristu kawera mkulu gwa wakulu, kankukolamlima mukila kolamlima na wanauwezu na makakala na watuwa, kankukolamlima kila rohu yayitumbirwa mupasipanu na pasipanu payiza. (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 )
Mushipindi shilii mwenga mulikaliti kugendera njira zya vidoda vya wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yaviwera, mwenga mjimiliti ukolamlima wa washamshera yawawera na makakala wa kulyera. Washamshera yawawatenda vinu wantu waleki kumjimira Mlungu. (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 )
Ndo ntambu yakafiriti kulanguziya kwa shipindi shashiza, ukulu wa manemu gakuwi kwa mafiliru gakatulanguziyiti twenga kupitira Yesu Kristu. (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 )
na kutenda wantu wavimani mpangu wa bada ya Mlungu yayififikiti ntambu yayitenda lihengu. Mlungu yakaumbiti vintu vyoseri, kayififiti bada yakuwi kwanjira lupaga lwa pasipanu. (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
Mlungu kashitenditi shitwatila ashi kugenderana na mafiliru gakuwi ga mashaka goseri, aga kagatenditi kupitira Yesu Kristu Mtuwa gwetu. (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 )
Mlungu kakwiswi kupitira shipinga sha wantu woseri yawamjimira Yesu na kupitira Kristu Yesu mweni, kakwiswi, viyiwuku vyoseri na mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Ngondu zyetu, ndo ngondu ndiri pakati petu na wantu, kumbiti ngondu zyatulikoma, tulikoma na washamshera yawakolamlima mupasipanu pa shirohu na muluwindu lwa vidoda pasipanu. (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu gwetu yakawera Tati gwetu, mashaka goseri. Yina hangu. (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 )
Ujumbi awu ndo bada ilii yaififikiti kwa viyiwuku na viyiwuku kwanjira makashu, kumbiti vinu igubutulwa kwa wananagala wakuwi. (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 )
Womberi hawatabiki muntabika ya mashaka goseri na kutulwa gweka kutali na ukwisa wakuwi mkulu, (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 )
Tumluwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu mweni na Mlungu Tati gwetu, yakatufiriti na kwa manemu gakuwi katupanana tuweri na nemiziwu ya mashaka goseri na litumbiru liherepa, (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 )
Kumbiti Mlungu kamoniriti lusungu neni nweriti nana vidoda nentu ya woseri su Kristu Yesu kalanguziyi uhepera wakuwi woseri kwa neni, handa shilanguziwu kwa walii woseri hawamjimiri shapakanu na kwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )
Vinu kwa Mfalumi gwa mashaka goseri, yakaweza ndiri kuhowa na yakawoneka ndiri, Mlungu gwa gweka, su na iweri ligoya na ukwisa mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Gutendi ngangamalu kugakanka majeru muujimira gwakalipananiri lifupu lya ukomu wa mashaka goseri lyagushemilitwi shipindi pagujimiriti njimiru yaku palongolu pa wakapitawu wavuwa. (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 )
Yomberi gweka yakuwi kalikala mashaka goseri muulangala gweni kwahera muntu yakaweza kugusegelera. Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti ama kwahera muntu yakaweziti kumwona. Kwa yomberi liweri ligoya na makakala gamashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Guwalagaliri wantu yawawera walunda muvitwatira vya makaliru ga vinu, nawalibinda ntumbiru lyawu muulunda ya vintu vyakulitumbira ndiri. Kumbiti wamtumbiliri Mlungu yakatupanana vintu vyoseri kwa uvuwa toziya tunemelerwi navi. (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 )
Yomberi katulopoziyiti na kutushema tuweri wantu wakuwi mweni, toziya ndiri ya matendo na mafiliru getu gaherepa, kumbiti toziya ya nfiru yakuwi mweni na manemu gakuwi. Katupananiti manemu aga kwa njira ya Kristu Yesu pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu. (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 )
Hangu nankuhepelera muvitwatira vyoseri toziya ya wantu wawasagulitwi na Mlungu, su womberi viraa wanki ulopoziya wawupananwa kwa njira Kristu Yesu weni kajega ukwisa wa mashaka goseri. (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 kavifira vitwatira vya pasipanu, kandeka na kagenda Tesaloniki. Kiresika kagenda Galatiya na Titu kagenda Dalimatiya. (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 )
Mtuwa hakandopoziyi kulawa muvitwatira vyoseri vikondola, na kuntula weri mpaka muufalumi wakuwi wa kumpindi. Kwa yomberi uweri ukwisa mashaka goseri. Yina haa. (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 )
lweni liyanjiru lwakuwi ndo litumbiru lya kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Mlungu yakalonga ndiri mpayu, katugambiriti kala ukomu awu pamberi pakwanjira kila shintu, (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 )
Maheri ga Mlungu gatufunda kuleka ukondola woseri na matamata zya pasipanu, tuweri na kulilewelera, tulikali makaliru yagafiruwa na kutenda galii yagamfiriziya Mlungu pasipanu vinu, (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 )
su kwa maheri gakuwi tupati kujimirwa kuwera waheri palongolu Mlungu na kuuwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri yatuutumbira. (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 )
Pamonga Onesmu kawukiti kwa gwenga kwa katepu hera, su kawuyi kayi kwagwenga mashaka goseri. (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 )
kumbiti mashaka aga ga upeleru, kankutakula na twenga kwa njira ya Mwana gwakuwi ndomweni yakamusyagula kaweri mhala gwa vintu vyoseri, na kwa njira yakuwi Mlungu kanyawiti pasipanu. (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 )
Kumbiti kuusu Mwana, Mlungu kalongiti, “Ufalumi waku gwee Mlungu, ulikali mashaka goseri! Na luhonga lwa ukolamlima lwalumfiriziya Mlungu haluweri luhonga lwa Ufalumi waku.” (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 )
Katakuliti viraa pahala pamonga, “Gwenga gwa mtambika gwa mashaka goseri, handa utambika wa Melikizedeki.” (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 )
Na pakasokiti muupeleru wa galii yakalagaliritwi, kawera shanjiru sha ulopoziya wa mashaka goseri kwa woseri yawamjimira. (aiōnios )
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios )
na kwendeleya mumafunda ga ubatizu na ga kutulirwa mawoku na ga uzyukisiwu wa yawahowiti na ga utoza wa mashaka goseri. (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 kupananwa uherepa wa Shisoweru sha Mlungu na likakala lya shipindi shashiza, (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 )
Kweni aku Yesu mweni kalongolera kwingira amu toziya ya twenga na kawera Mtambika Mkulu mashaka goseri, kwa ntambu ya utambika wa Melikizedeki. (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 )
Toziya ukapitawu wa yomberi ulanguziya kuwera, “Gwenga gwa mtambika gwa mashaka goseri, handa utambika wa Melikizedeki.” (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 )
Kumbiti Yesu katenditwi mtambika kwa lirapu toziya ya galii Mlungu gakamgambiriti “Mtuwa kalirapa, hapeni kagalambuli nfiru yakuwi, ‘Gwenga gwa mtambika gwa mashaka goseri.’” (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
Kumbiti Yesu kahanda womberi ndiri, yomberi kalikala mashaka goseri, Utambika wakuwi uwuka ndiri kwakuwi. (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 )
Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, gawasyagula wantu yawawera legulegu kuwera watambika wakulu, kumbiti shilii shakatakuliti Mlungu kwa lirapu, shashisokiti kala pa Malagaliru ga Musa, gamsyagula Mwana yakatenditwi kuwera pota likosa mashaka goseri. (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 )
Yomberi kingiriti Pahala Pananagala nentu kwa mala yimu, kingiriti ndiri na mwazi gwa mbuzi na ng'ombi kumbiti kingiriti na mwazi gwakuwi mweni, su katupanani ukombola wa mashaka goseri. (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 )
su mwazi gwa Kristu hagutendi vitwatira vikulu nentu! Kristu Mlopoziya kupitira likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala gwa mashaka goseri, kalilaviyiti mweni kaweri litambiku lya nakaka kwa Mlungu, su katupungi nfiru kulawa mumatendu yagafuwa, su tupati kumtendera Mlungu yakawera mkomu. (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 )
Toziya ayi Kristu ndo mkolaniziya gwa lipatanu lya syayi. Su walii yawashemitwi na Mlungu wawanki uhala wa mashaka goseri waulagilitwi na Mlungu. Toziya kuhowa kwakuwi kuwakombola wantu kulawa mumakosa gawatenditi mulipatanu lyakwanja. (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 )
Handa meiweri hangu, Kristu mekafiruwi kutabisiwa mala zivuwa kwanjira kwanja kwa pasipanu. Kumbiti vinu, mashaka aga gapakwegera upeleru, yomberi kalawira kwa mala yimu hera, kuwawusiya wantu vidoda kwa kulilaviya mweni tambiku. (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 njimiru, twenga tuvimana handa pasipanu panyawitwi kwa shisoweru sha Mlungu, su vintu vyaviwoneka vilawiti muvintu vyaviwoneka ndiri. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Yesu Kristu ndo ulaa ulii lishu, leru na mashaka goseri. (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 )
Su Mlungu gwa ponga yakamzyukisiyiti Mtuwa gwetu Yesu, Mlolera Mkulu gwa wakondolu toziya ya kwita mwazi gwakuwi gwa lipatanu lya mashaka goseri, (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 )
kawatendi mkamali mukila shitwatira shiheri su mtendi mafiliru gakuwi na katutendi twenga ntambu yayimfiriziya mweni kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, ukwisa uweri kwa yomberi mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Na lulimi lulifana na motu. Lulimi luwera shipandi shimu sha makondola ga ntambu yoseri pakati pa viwungiru vya nshimba. Iumemiziya nshimba yoseri na luyaka motu yagulawa mumotu gwa 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 )
Toziya mpananitwi ukomu wa syayi, ulii yawulawiti ndiri mumbeyu yayiharabika, kumbiti kulawa mumbeyu yayiharabika ndiri kwa njira ya ujumbi wa Mlungu yawuwera ukomu na wa mashaka goseri. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
Kumbiti ujumbi wa Mtuwa ulikala mashaka goseri.” Ujumbi awu ndo Shisoweru Shiwagira shamubweleritwi. (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 )
Yakalonga shintu, visoweru vyakuwi viweri gambira visoweru vya Mlungu, na kila yakawatanga wantu katendi hangu kwa likakala lyakapananitwi na Mlungu, su muvitwatira vyoseri Mlungu kakwiswi kupitira Yesu Kristu. Kwakuwi kuweri ukwisa na likakala mashaka goseri. Yina haa. (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 )

[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Kwakuwi Mlungu kuweri uwezu mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
na mwenga hamulekeziwi nakamu kwingira muufalumi wa mashaka goseri wa Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. (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 )
Mlungu kawalekiti ndiri wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawatenditi vidoda, su kawasiti pahala pa ntabiku, kweni aku watawitwi kwa minyololu muluwindu dunu pawahepa lishaka lya kutoza kwawu. (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 )
Kumbiti mwendereyi kukula mumanemu na kumumana Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. Ukwisa uweri kwakuwi, vinu na ata mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (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 )
Ukomu ayu pakalawiriti twenga tumuwoniti na tutakula visoweru vyakuwi na kuwabwelera ukomu ayu gwa mashaka goseri, yakaweriti kwa Tati na kalanguziyitwi kwa twenga. (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 )
Pasipanu pamuhera na matamata zoseri zyaziwera mngati mwakuwi vyankupita, kumbiti muntu yakatenda mafiliru ga Mlungu, yomberi kankulikala mashaka goseri. (aiōn )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
Na Kristu mweni katupananiti lagilu lyakatugambiriti twenga kuwera hakatupanani ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 muntu yakamkalalira mlongu gwakuwi kawera mlaga na mwenga muvimana kuwera mlaga yoseri ulii kahera ukomu wa mashaka goseri mngati mwakuwi. (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 )
Awu ndo ukapitawu kuwera, Mlungu katupananiti ukomu wa mashaka goseri na ukomu awu upatikana kwa njira ya Mwana gwakuwi. (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 )
Nuwalembera vitwatira avi mwenga yamjimira mulitawu lya Mwana gwa Mlungu, su muvimani kuwera mwenga mwanawu ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )

toziya ya unakaka yawulikala mngati mwetu na hawuwendereyi kulikala pamuhera na twenga mashaka goseri. (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 wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasinditi kugoloka weri mumpenu zyawu zyawapananitwi, kumbiti wagalekiti makawu gawu weni, Mlungu kawatatiriti muluwindu dunu kwa minyololu ya mashaka goseri su watozwi mulishaka lilii likulu. (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)
Muliholi viraa Sodoma na Gomora na lushi zya mumbwega mwakuwi, wenikaya wakuwi watenditi uhumba gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi ntambu yawatenditi uhumba na vitwatira vya kugalambula nshimba ntambu yakanyawiti Mlungu, wapananitwi azabu mumotu gwa mashaka goseri, su liweri Libeliziwu kwa wantu woseri. (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 )
Muliloleri weri muufiru wa Mlungu, pamuluhepa lusungu lwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, su kawajegi muwukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 )

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 )

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 )
Neni ndo yomberi yakawera mkomu! Newiti howa, kumbiti guloli, vinu na mkomu mashaka goseri. Nanazi funguwu zya mawuti na zya mulirindi lyalihera upeleru. (aiōn , Hadēs )
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
Vipindi vyoseri viwumbi avi vyamsheshi pawamkwisiti na kumpanana ligoya na kumgambira mayagashii ayu yakalivagiti pashibanta sha ufalumi mweni yakalikala mashaka goseri, (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 )
wazewi walii malongu mawili na msheshi waligusiya palongolu pa ayu yakalivagiti pashibanta sha ufalumi na kumguwira ayu yakalikala mashaka goseri na kugatula majenjeri gawu palongolu pashibanta sha ufalumi pawalonga, (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 )
Mpikaniriti viwumbi vyoseri pampindi, pasipanu, pasi pa pasipanu na mubahali, viwumbi vyoseri vya pasipanu poseri pavilonga, “Kwakuwi yomberi yakalivaga pashibanta sha ufalumi na kwa Mwanakondolu, uweri uzyumi na ligoya na ukwisa na ukulu, mashaka goseri.” (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 )
Shakapanu, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa mhanu kagombiti mbalapi yakuwi. Na neni mwoniti ntondu iweriti ituluka muisi kulawa kumpindi. Nayeni ipananitwi funguwu wa njira ya lirindi lyalihera na upeleru. (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 )
Su ntondu ayi ivuguliti njira ya lirindi lyahera upereru, kulawiti lyosi gambira lya litanuru likulu. Mshenji na liyera vitulitwi ntiti kwa lyosi ali lya njira ya lirindi lyahera upereru. (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 )
Wawera na mfalumi yakawakolamlima, nayomberi ndo ntumintumi gwa Shetani, yomberi ndo mkulu gwa lirindi lyalihera upeleru, litawu lyakuwi kwa Shiebraniya ndo Abadoni na kwa Shigiriki ndo Apoliyoni, “Mana yakuwi ndo Mlaga.” (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 )
kalirapiti kwa litawu lya Mlungu yakalikala mashaka goseri, Mlungu yakanyawiti kumpindi na vyoseri vyaviwera na ibahali na vyoseri vyaviwera pasipanu na vyoseri vyaviwera. Kalongiti, “Kwahera shipindi sha kuhepera kayi! (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 )
Kumbiti pawamalira kala upitawulira wawu, nkanyama mkalipa yakalawira mulirindi lyalihera upeleru hakalikomi na womberi, hakawakanki na kuwalaga. (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 )
Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa saba kagomba mbalapi yakuwi. Na nziwu nkulu zipikanikitwi kumpindi pazilonga, “Vinu ufalumi wa pasipanu uwera wa Mtuwa gwetu na Kristu gwakuwi ulii yakamsyaguliti kuwera Mkombola gwakuwi. Na yomberi hakakolimlima mashaka goseri!” (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 )
Lyosi lya motu lyaluwatabisiya likwena kumpindi mashaka goseri. Wantu walii yawamguwiriti nkanyama mkalipa ulii na shinyagu shakuwi na kutulwa shimaniziwu sha litawu lyakuwi, hapeni waweri na kwoyera kwoseri pashiru na palwala.” (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 )
Shakapanu yumu gwawu gwa viwumbi walii wamsheshi kawapananiti wantumintumi wa kumpindi saba, mabakuli ga zaabu yagamemiti maya ga Mlungu yakalikala mashaka goseri. (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 )
Nkanyama mkalipa ayu yagumwoniti, kaweriti mkomu pakwanja kumbiti vinu kahowa. Kayi kapakwegera kulawa mulirindi lyalihera upeleru kugenda kuharabisiwa.

[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
Walonga kayi, “Kazyumwi Mlungu! Lyosi lya motu gwa gulunguziya lushi alu hagukweni kumpindi mashaka goseri!” (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 )
Shakapanu numwona ntumintumi gwa kumpindi yumu kankusuluka kulawa kumpindi pakaweriti na funguwu wa mlyangu gwa lirindi lyahera upereru na mnyololu mkulu muliwoku mwakuwi. (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 )
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwasiti mulirindi lyahera upereru, kagutatiti mlyangu gwa kwingilira aku na kagutula mfindiku, su nakaweza kayi kugapotoziya maisi mpaka pavisoka vinja elufu yimu. Kumbiti pa vinja avi ndo mpaka wamvugulili kayi, kwa katepu hera. (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 Mkondola yakaweriti kankuwapotuziya, wamwasiti mulitanda lya lyalimemiti mabuwi ga baluti yagayaka motu gwa shibiriti, mwamuweriti nkanyama mkalipa ulii na mbuyi ulii gwa kupayira na womberi hawatabiki paliwala na pashiru mashaka goseri. (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 )
Bahali iwalaviyiti kunja yawahowiti yawaweriti mngati mwakuwi, kuhowa na lirindi lyalihera upeleru viwalaviyiti kunja yawahowiti yawaweriti mngati mwakuwi. Kila yumu wamtoziti kulawirana na matendu gakuwi. (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 )
Shakapanu kuhowa na lirindi lyalihera upeleru viyasitwi mulitanda lya motu. Litanda ali lya motu ndo kuhowa kwa 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 )
Muntu yoseri, litawu lyakuwi liwoneka ndiri mushintola sha ukomu, kasitwi mulitanda lya 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 )

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 )
Pashiru hapeni paweri kayi na hapeni wafiri gulangala gwa shikoluboyi ama gulangala gwa mshenji, toziya Mtuwa Mlungu hakawalangaliri, hawakolimlima gambira wafulumi mashaka goseri. (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]. ()
