So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]!

[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.

Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God.

Pwe pwain en dip mela, a pai en mak en Kot maur soutuk ren Kristus Iesus atail Kaun. (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.

“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.

De is me pan daudi wasa lol? Iet wewe: En wadado Kristus sang ren me melar akan. (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 )

Pwe meakaros tapi sang re a, o mia pweki i, o wiai ong i, lingan en ko ong i kokolata! Amen. (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.

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 )

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.

Ari so, me kit kin padapadaki me lolekong ren me unsok kan, a kaidin lolekong en sappa et, o pil kaidin en saupeidi kan en sappa et, me pan sarodi, (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 )
A kit kin padaki duen erpit en Kot me rir, iei me so sansal, me Kot kotin kileledier ni en sappa saik mia, pwen kalinganada kitail, (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 )
Me sota saupeidi en sappa men asadar, pwe ma re asaer i, re sota pan kalopuela Kaun en lingan. (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 )
Sota amen en kotaue pein i! Ma amen nan pung omail lamelame ansau wet, me a lolekong, mak eta, en wiala ol pweipwei men, pwen wiala lolekong amen. (aiōn )

Ari ma kisin manga kamakar ri ai, i solar pan manga uduk kokolata, pwe i de kamakar ri ai. (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 )

Me kot en sappa wet karotongala nan mongiong en me soposon akan, pwe ren der kilang marain en rongamau duen lingan en Kristus me mom en Kot. (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 )
Pwe atail ansau apwal me motomot o tikitik; ap kare ong kitail lingan soutuk eu me lapalap melel, (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 )
Pwe kitail sota kin kilekilang meakan me sansal, a meakan me so sansal. Pwe me sansal me katuk, a me so sansal me soutuk. (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 )
PWE kitail asaer, impwal atail sappa a lao ola, kitail pan id imaneki im eu sang ren Kot, im eu me kaidin wiaui kida pa, pwe a me soutuk nanlang. (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 )
Duen a intingidier: A kamoredier, a kisakisa wei ong me samama kan; a pung pan mimieta kokolata. (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 )
Kot o Sam en Kaun Iesus, me iasanai kokolata, kin mangi, me i sota kin likam. (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 )
Me kotin sokonpaude ki pein i ki dip atail, pwen dore kitail sang ni me sued akan mi sappa, duen kupur en Kot o Sam atail. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Lingan en ko ong i kokolata! Amen. (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 )
Pwe me kin kamoredi ong ni uduk a, a pan dolung sang ni uduk a men soredi; a me kin kamoredi ong Ngen, a pan tungole sang ren Ngen maur soutuk. (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 )
Ilela sang meakan karos, o manaman karos, o kelail o men poa kan o mar karos, kaidin ni muei wet eta, pwe pil ni muei kokodo. (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 )
Me komail dadaureki mas duen tiak en sappa et, o duen wiawia en saupeidi o, me manaman pan lang, iei ngen o, me kin dodok ren seri sopeik kan ansau wet. (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 )
Pwe a en kotin kasansaleda a mak o kalangan lapalap ni muei kokodo ong kitail ren Kristus Iesus. (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 )
O pwen kamaraini amen amen duen koa dodok en rir akan, me nekinek sang nin tapin kaua ren Kot, me kotin kapikadar meakan karos, (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
Duen kupur a, me a kotin kileledier ni tapin kaua ren Kristus Iesus atail Kaun. (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 )
Lingan en ko ong i ni momodisou pan Kristus Iesus kokolata soutuk. Amen. (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 )
Pwe kaidin uduk o nta, me kitail en pei ong, a ong saupeidi o manaman akan, o ong saumas en sappa kan, me kin kakaunda nan rotorot wet, o ong kaun ngenin en lang akan. (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
A lingan en ko ong Kot o Sam atail kokolata! Amen. (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 )
Iei me rir kot, me rir sang nin tapin kaua o men kaua, a met a kadiarok ong sapwilim a saraui kan, (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 )
O me pan lokidokilang kamekam soutuk sang mon silang en Kaun o sang mon a manaman lingan. (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 )
A pein atail Kaun Iesus Kristus o Kot o Sam atail, me pok ong kitail o kupura dong kitail kamait soutuk o kapor mau pan mak, (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 )
Ari so, i diaradar mak o, pwe Iesus Kristus en kotin kasaleda a kanongama lapalap re i, pwe men kaalemongi ong me pan poson, pwen maur soutuk. (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 )
A Nanmarki potopot, me so kak mor pasang, o so sansal, i Kot eta. Wau o lingan en ko ong i potopoteta! Amen. (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 )
Wiada pei mau en poson, aneki maur soutuk, me koe pil paeker ong o kadededa kadede mau o mon saunkadede toto. (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 )
Pwe i eta ieias soutuk, me kotikot nan marain, me sota meamen kak ong, me sota aramas kilanger, o so kak kilang, i en waunla manaman soutuk! Amen. (aiōnios )
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn )
Koe en kapung ong me kapwapwaki dipisou en sappa et, me re der aklapalap o pil der kaporoporeki kapwa somelel, a Kot, me kupurai ong kitail sapan meakan karos, pwe kitail en paie kida. (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 )
Me kotin kamaur kitail da o woronge kin kitail worong saraui, kaidin iran atail wiawia kan, a pweki pein a kupur o mak me a kotin kupura ong kitail ren Kristus Iesus mon tapin kaua. (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 )
Mepukat karos i kin kamekameki me piladar akan, pwe ren pil konodi maur soutuk ren Kristus Iesus iangaki a lingan soutuk (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 )
Pwe Demas me kase ia lar pwe a pok ong sappa et, ap samalanger Tesalonik, Kresens Kalesia, Titus Dalmatien, (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 )
A Kaun o pan kotin kapit ia la sang ni wiawia sued karos, o kotin kalua wong ia wein nanlang, i en lingan kokolata! Amen. (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 )
O kaporoporeki maur soutuk, me Kot so likam inaukidar mon tapin kaua. (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 )
O padapadaki ong kitail, me kitail en muei sang meakan me doo sang Kot o inong sued en sappa, ap lelapok, o pung, o dadaureta me kon ong ni sappa et. (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 )
Pwe kitail en pung kila a mak, pwen sosoki maur soutuk duen at kaporopor. (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 )
Ele a tang sang re omui ansau kis, pwe komui en pur ong naineki i kokolata. (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 )
A ni imwin kaua o ran pukat, a kotin masan kidong kitail Na, me a kotin kasapwilada, pwen sosoki meakan karos, o me a kotin wia kida wei pokon, (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 )
A duen Sapwilim a a kotin masani: Mol omui, Maing Kot, pan potopot eta. O sokon en pung, iei sokon en wei omui. (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 )
Duen a pil kotin masani ekis wasa: Koe samero duen al en Melkisedek kokolata. (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 )
O ni a unsokalar a kotin wialar kamaur pan maur soutuk ong irail karos, me kin oke i. (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 )
De padak duen paptais, o pokada pa kan poa, o duen en me melar akan ar pan maureda, o duen kadeik soutuk. (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 )
O lolekong kilar masan en Kot mau, o manaman en muei mau kokodo, (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 )
Iei wasa atail saunkair kotila ia pweki kitail, Iesus, me wiala samero lapalap ni al en Melkisedek kokolata. (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 )
Pwe iet kadedepa: Komui samero soutuk amen duen al en Melkisedek. (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 )
A men et sapwilikida kaula ren i, me kotin masani ong i: Kaun o kaular, a ap sota pan kalu kila: Komui samero soutuk amen duen al en Melkisedek. (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
A i me potopoteta, pwe a kotin aleer dodok en samero soutuk. (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 )
Pwe kapung kin kasapwiladang samero aramas luet akan, a masan en kaula, me wiauier murin kapung, kasapwiladar Sapwilim a, me unsokalar soutuk. (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 )
Pil sota kotikilong ntan kut ol de kau pul a pein nta pan mepak, me a kotikilong nan pera saraui melel, pwen lapwapan dip soutuk. (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 )
Daduen ntan Kristus so mau sang kaualap, me tonmeteki pein ong Kot ren Ngen soutuk, me sota me suet kot pit, pwen kamakelekel insen atail sang ni wiawia mela kan, pwen papa Kot ieias! (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 )
I me a kotin wiala sauntom en inau kap; a matala wiauier, pwen lapwada sapung kan, me wiauier pan inau kaieu, pwe irail me paeker akan en ale inau en soso soutuk. (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 )
Ma iduen, nan a pan matala pan pak toto sang nin tapin aramas akan, a met ni imwin ansau kan, a kotin pwarado pan mepak, pwen lapwada dip akan ki pein a mairong. (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 )
Ni poson kitail asa, me lang o sappa wiauikier masan en Kot, iei me dipisou kan, me kitail kin kilang, so wiauiki meakai me sansal. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Iesus Kristus me duedueta, aio, ran wet, o kokolata. (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 )
A Kot en popol, me kotin kaiasadar Silepan sip lapalap, iei atail Kaun Iesus sang ren me melar akan, ki ntan inau soutuk, (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 )
I en kotin kamaui komail en kapwaiada kupur a o song en wiawia mau ren Iesus Kristus. I me udan lingan kokolata! Amen. (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 )
Iduen lo en aramas, a rasong kisiniai o aude pan sapung karos. Lo o kisan kokon atail, ap kasaminela war pon, a kin isikada wiawia en nan maur atail karos, a pein i isis sang nan pweleko. (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 )
Dueta ir, me ip sapal, kaidin sang ni wa mor, a sang ni me somor, iet: Sang nan masan maur en Kot, me pan duedueta. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
A masan en atail Kaun pan potopoteta kokolata, i masan o, me kalok ong komail ni rongamau. (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 )
Ma amen pan wiada padak, a en wiada duen masan en Kot, o ma amen kin papa, a en papa duen Kot kotin kupurai ong i a mana, pwe kaping en ko ong Kot ni meakan karos, ren Iesus Kristus, me wau o manaman en ko ong kokolata soutuk! Amen. (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 )
A Kot en mak karos, me kotin molipe komail wong a lingan soutuk, ren Kristus, pan kotin kaunsokala, o kakelada, o kamanada, o pasonedi, me pan kalokolok ansau motomot. (aiōnios )
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
I me udan manaman potopoteta! Amen. (aiōn )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Pwe i me komail pan pedelongki peren nan wei soutuk en atail Kaun o Saunkamaur Iesus Kristus. (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 )
Pwe, ma Kot sota kotin kupura tounlang ko, me wiadar dip, a a kotin kase ir di lang nan pweleko, ap salie kidi sal mata en rotorot, nekineki ong ran en kadeik, (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 )
A komail kairida ni mak o lolekongki padak en atail Kaun o Saunkamaur Iesus Kristus. I me kon ong en ale wau metet o kokolata lel ong ni ran soutuk. (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 )
O maur sansaledar, o se kilanger, o kadede, o padaki ong komail maur soutuk, me kotikot ren Sam, a ap sansal dong kitail. (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 )
A sappa pan sorola o a me sued akan, a me wia kupur en Kot, pan mimieta kokolata. (aiōn )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
A iet inau o, me a kotin inauki ong kitail er: Maur soutuk. (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 )
Meamen, me kin tata ki ri a, nan i me kamela men. A komail asa, maur soutuk sota kin mi ren me kamela men. (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 )
A iet kadede o: Kot me kotiki ong kitail er maur soutuk; a i song en maur mi ren sapwilim a Ol. (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 )
Mepukat i inting wong komail er, pwe komail en asa, me maur soutuk mi re omail, a komail, me poson mar en Sapwilim en Kot. (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 )
A kitail asa, me Sapwilim en Kot pwarador, kalolekong kitail er, pwe kitail en asa i me melel, o kitail kisan i me melel, iei sapwilim a Iesus Kristus. I me Kot melel o maur soutuk. (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 )
Pweki melel o, me mi re atail, o a pan mi re atail kokolata. (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)
O tounlang kai, me sota kasampwaleki arail koa, ap muei sang udan deu arail, a kotin nekid kin arail sal mata soutik ni wasa rotorot ong ran en kadeik lapalap. (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)
Dueta Sodom, O Komora, o kanim akan, me mi imp ara, me pil nenenek nin tiak ota, dueta ira, o inong iong uduk toror, ap wiala kilel eu, ni ar kamekameki kisiniai soutik. (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 )
Nekinek pein komail ni limpok en Kot, o kaporoporeki kalangan en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus ong maur soutuk. (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 )
I Kot eta Saunkamaur patail, ren Iesus Kristus atail Kaun lingan, lomin, o wiawia, o manaman en ko ong, met o potopot eta kokolata! Amen. (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 )
O kotin wia kin kitail er samero ong Kot o Sam a. Lingan o manaman en mi re a kokolata! Amen. (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 )

The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
Ari man maur oko, lao pan kalinganada, o kakaki, o danke i me kotidi pon mol o, me ieias soutuk, (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 )
Me lapalap riek pamen ap pan poridi ong i, me kotidi pon mol o, o re pan pongi i, me ieiasata kokolata, o re pan pwilikidi mar ar mon mol o, indada: (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 )
Ir karusia nanlang, o sappa, o pan sappa, o pon madau, o aude pan arail karos, i ronger me re indinda: Me kotidi pon mol o, o Sippul en kapinganla, o kakala, o kalinganada o manaman kokolata. (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 )
Indinda: Amen! Pai, o lingan, o erpit, o danke, o wau, o roson, o manaman ong atail Kot kokolata! 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 )
TOUNLANG kalimen pepeuk koronete, i ap kilang usu en lang eu, me pupedi ong sappa, o ki en wasa lol me pangalang i. (Abyssos )
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos )
A ritingida au en wasa lol, adiniai ap adida sang nan wasa lol o, dueta adiniai en um kalaimun, o katipin o pan lang rotorotala, pweki adiniai en wasa lol. (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 )
O arail nanmarki ani en kadar en wasa lol, ad a ni lokaia en Ipru Apadon, a ad a ni lokaia en Krik Apolion. (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 )
Ap kauki i, me ieiasata soutuk, me kotin kapikadar lang o meakan mi lole, o sappa o meakan mi lole, o madau o meakan mi lole, me solar pan ansau. (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 )
Ira lao kanikiela ara kadede, man o, me pan pwarada sang wasa lol, pan pei ong ira, kaloe ira di, kame ira la. (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 )
Tounlang kaisimen pepeuk koronete. Ngil laud ap wiauier nanlang indinda: Wein sappa id wialar wein atail Kaun o sapwilim a Kristus. A pan kotin kaunda kokolata. (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 )
O i kilanger amen tounlang, pipir ni warong en lang, rongamau soutuk mi re a, pwen padaki ong irail, me kauson sappa, o ong wei karos, o kainok karos, o lokaia o aramas akan. (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 )
O adiniai en ar lokolok peipeidala potopoteta, re so moleilei ni ran de ni pong, irail me pongi man o o a kilel, o irail me kilelekidar mar a. (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 )
O amen ren man pamen pangalang tounlang isimen dal kold isu, direki ongiong en Kot, me ieiasata soutuk. (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 )
Man o, me koe kilanger, a mia mas ap soer mia, a nok pwaradado sang wasa lol, ap pan kolang wasan kamekam; o irail, me kaukauson sappa, pan wapon ki irail, me mar arail so intingidier nan puk en maur sang nin tapin sappa, ni ar kilang man o, due a mier mas, ap soer mia, ap nok pwarado. (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 )
Pil kariapak re inda: Aleluia! A adiniai adidala kokolata. (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 )
Man o lodi ong iangaki saukop likam, me wia kilel kai mo a, me a kotaue kida irail, me kilele kidi kilel en man o, o ir me pongi a kilel. Ira karos lokidokilang nan le en kisiniai, me rongerongki swepel ni ara memaur. (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 )
I kilanger tounlang amen kotido sang lang, ki en wasa lol mi re a nan lim a o sal mata lapalap. (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 )
O kasedi ong nan wasa lol so kapi, ritingiedi o kileledi poa, pwe ender katikatiamau toun sappa, a lao par kid imwisokala. Muri a nok sapadokala ansau kis. (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 )
O tewil, me kotaue ir, lokidokila nan le en kisiniai o swepel, wasa me man o saukop likam mia ia, o re pan kalokolok ni ran o ni pong kokolata soutuk. (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 )
O madau kapeida melar akan, me mimi lole, o mela o wasan mela kidaer, me mi lol ir. Ir karos pakadeikadar iran ar wiawia kan. (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 )
Mela o wasan mela me pisikindi lang le en kisiniai; iei mela kariau. (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 )
O meamen, me so intingidier nan puk en kamaur, a pisikindi lang le en kisiniai. (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 )
A me masak, o sokamelele, o saut akan o men kamela kan, o nenek kan, o wun ani kan, o me pongi dikedik en ani kan, o likam kan karos deu ar nan le, me rongerongki kisiniai o swepel, iei mela kariau. (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 )
O solar pong ni wasa o kokolata; re solar anane marain en lamp, pil solar marain en katipin, pwe Kaun Kot pan kotin kamaraini ir, o re pan nanmarki kokolata. (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]. ()
