Aionian Verses
Alle seine Söhne und alle seine Töchter bemühten sich zwar, ihn zu trösten, aber er wies jeden Trost zurück und sagte: »Nein, im Trauerkleid will ich zu meinem Sohn in die Unterwelt hinabfahren!« So beweinte ihn sein Vater. (Sheol )
All of his children came to try to comfort him, but he did not pay attention to what they said. He said, “No, I will still be mourning/crying when I die and go to be with my son.” So Joseph’s father continued to cry because of what had happened to his son. (Sheol )
Doch Jakob entgegnete: »Mein Sohn soll nicht mit euch hinabziehen! Sein rechter Bruder ist tot, und er ist allein übriggeblieben; wenn ihm ein Unfall auf dem Wege zustieße, den ihr ziehen müßt, so würdet ihr mein graues Haar mit Herzeleid in die Unterwelt bringen!« (Sheol )
But Jacob said, “No, I will not let my son go down there with you. His [older] brother is dead, and he is the only [one of my wife Rachel’s] sons who is left! If something harms him while you are traveling, you would cause me, a gray-haired old man, to die because of sorrow.” (Sheol )
Wenn ihr mir nun auch diesen noch wegnehmt und ihm ein Unglück zustößt, so werdet ihr mein graues Haar mit Jammer in die Unterwelt hinabbringen!‹ (Sheol )
I am an old gray-haired man. If you take this other one from me, too, and something harms him, you would cause me to die because of my sorrow.’ (Sheol )
und müßte er sehen, daß der Knabe nicht da ist, so würde er sterben, und deine Knechte hätten wirklich das graue Haar deines Knechtes, unsers Vaters, mit Herzeleid in die Unterwelt hinabgebracht! (Sheol )
If he sees that the boy is not with us when we return to him, he will die. We will cause our gray-haired father to die because of his sorrow. (Sheol )
wenn aber der HERR etwas noch nie Vorgekommenes geschehen läßt und der Erdboden seinen Mund auftut und sie mit allem, was ihnen gehört, verschlingt, so daß sie lebendig in das Totenreich hinabfahren, so werdet ihr daran erkennen, daß diese Männer Verächter des HERRN gewesen sind!« (Sheol )
But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol )
lebend fuhren sie mit allem, was sie besaßen, in das Totenreich hinab, die Erde schloß sich über ihnen, und sie waren aus der Mitte der Gemeinde verschwunden. (Sheol )
They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol )
Denn ein Feuer ist durch meinen Zorn entbrannt und hat bis in die Tiefen der Unterwelt gelodert; es hat die Erde samt ihrem Ertrag verzehrt und die Grundfesten der Berge in Flammen gesetzt. (Sheol )
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol )
Der HERR tötet und macht lebendig, er stößt ins Totenreich hinab und führt herauf; (Sheol )
Yahweh, you cause some people to die, and you restore some people who are almost dead. For some people, [it seems that they will soon] go to where the dead people are, but you cause them to become healthy again. (Sheol )
die Netze des Totenreichs umfingen mich, die Schlingen des Todes fielen über mich. (Sheol )
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol )
So handle nun nach deiner Weisheit und laß sein graues Haar nicht in Frieden in das Totenreich hinabfahren! (Sheol )
Because you are wise, do to him what you think is best [for you to do], but do not allow him to become old [MTY] and then die [IDM] peacefully. (Sheol )
Nunmehr aber laß du ihn nicht ungestraft! Du bist ja ein kluger Mann und wirst schon wissen, wie du mit ihm zu verfahren hast, um sein graues Haar blutbefleckt in das Totenreich hinabfahren zu lassen.« (Sheol )
But now you must [LIT] surely punish him. You are a wise man, so you will know what you should do to him. He is an old man [MTY], but be sure that he [loses/sheds] a lot of blood when you kill him [MTY].” (Sheol )
Wie eine Wolke sich auflöst und zergeht, so kommt auch, wer ins Totenreich hinabgefahren ist, nicht wieder herauf: (Sheol )
Like [SIM] clouds (disperse/break up) and then disappear, people [die and] descend to the place where dead people are, and they do not return; (Sheol )
Himmelhoch ist sie – was kannst du denn erreichen? Tiefer als das Totenreich ist sie – wie weit reicht denn dein Wissen? (Sheol )
[What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol )
»O wenn du mich doch im Totenreiche verwahrtest, mich dort verbergen wolltest, bis dein Zorn sich gelegt hätte, mir eine Frist bestimmtest und dann meiner gedächtest! (Sheol )
[“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol )
Wenn ich schon das Totenreich als meine Behausung erwarte, in der Finsternis mir mein Lager schon ausgebreitet habe, (Sheol )
If my home will be the place where dead people are, where will I sleep in the darkness? (Sheol )
Zu den Riegeln des Totenreichs fährt sie (die Hoffnung) hinab, wenn zugleich (für den Leib) im Staube Ruhe sein wird.« (Sheol )
After I descend to the place where the dead are, (will I be able to confidently expect anything good there?/I certainly will not be able to confidently expect anything good there.) [RHQ] [It will be as though] [RHQ] I and the things I hope for will descend with me into the dust [where the dead are].” (Sheol )
Sie verbringen im Wohlergehen ihre Tage und fahren in Ruhe zum Totenreich hinab. (Sheol )
Wicked people enjoy having good things all the time that they are alive, and they die quietly/peacefully and go down to the place of the dead. (Sheol )
Wie Dürre und Sonnenglut die Schneewasser wegraffen, ebenso das Totenreich die, welche gesündigt haben. (Sheol )

nackt liegt das Totenreich vor ihm da und unverhüllt der Abgrund. (Sheol )
God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol )
Denn im Tode gedenkt man deiner nicht: im Totenreich – wer singt da dein Lob? (Sheol )

Die Frevler fahren zur Unterwelt hinab, alle Heidenvölker, die Gottes vergessen; (Sheol )
Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol )
Denn du gibst meine Seele dem Totenreich nicht preis, du läßt deinen Frommen nicht schaun die Vernichtung. (Sheol )
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol )
die Netze des Totenreichs umfingen mich schon, die Schlingen des Todes fielen über mich. (Sheol )
[It was as though] the place where dead people are had ropes that were wrapped around me, or [it was as though] there was a trap [MET] that would [seize and] kill me. (Sheol )
O HERR, du hast meine Seele aus dem Totenreich heraufgeführt, hast mich am Leben erhalten, so daß ich nicht ins Grab bin gesunken. (Sheol )
You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol )
HERR, laß mich nicht enttäuscht werden, denn ich rufe dich an! Laß die Frevler enttäuscht werden, laß sie, zum Schweigen gebracht, in die Unterwelt fahren! (Sheol )
Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol )
Wie Schafe werden sie ins Totenreich versetzt; der Tod weidet sie, und über sie herrschen die Frommen am Morgen; dem Totenreich zur Vernichtung fällt ihre Gestalt anheim, so daß ihr keine Wohnung bleibt. (Sheol )
They are certain to die just like sheep, when a shepherd leads them away to be slaughtered.

Ihre Füße steigen zum Tode hinab, ihre Schritte sind geradeswegs zur Unterwelt gerichtet. (Sheol )

nämlich das Totenreich und der unfruchtbare Mutterschoß, die Erde, die des Wassers nie satt wird, und das Feuer, das niemals sagt: »Genug!« (Sheol )
The place where the dead people are; women who do not have any children; ground that needs water/rain; and a fire that always needs more wood. (Sheol )

Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol )
Darum öffnet das Totenreich seinen Schlund gar weit und sperrt seinen Rachen ins Maßlose auf, damit hinabfahre Jerusalems Herrlichkeit und sein Getümmel, sein Gewühl und wer lustig darin jubelt. (Sheol )
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol )
»Erbitte dir ein Zeichen vom HERRN, deinem Gott: fordere es tief aus der Unterwelt drunten oder oben aus der Höhe!« (Sheol )
[He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol )
Das Totenreich drunten gerät in Aufregung um deinetwillen, in Erwartung deiner Ankunft: es stört die Schatten deinetwegen auf, alle, die vordem die Häupter der Erde waren, und macht von ihren Thronsesseln aufstehen alle Könige der Völkerschaften. (Sheol )
The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol )
Hinabgestürzt ins Totenreich ist dein Prunk, das Getön deiner Harfen! Maden bilden das Lager unter dir, und Würmer sind deine Decke!« (Sheol )
You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol )
Nun aber bist du ins Totenreich hinabgestürzt, in den hintersten Winkel der Grube! (Sheol )
[But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol )
Weil ihr gesagt habt: »Wir haben einen Bund mit dem Tode geschlossen und mit dem Totenreich ein Abkommen getroffen: wenn die Geißel mit ihrer Sturmflut hereinbricht, wird sie uns nicht erreichen; wir haben ja die Lüge zu unserm Schirmdach gemacht und uns in Trug geborgen« – (Sheol )
You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol )
Dann wird euer Bund mit dem Tode hinfällig werden und euer Abkommen mit dem Totenreich abgetan sein: wenn die Geißel mit ihrer Sturmflut hereinbricht, werdet ihr von ihr zermalmt werden. (Sheol )
I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol )
»Ich dachte schon: ›Im Mittag meines Lebens muß ich eingehen in die Pforten des Totenreiches, bin des Restes meiner Jahre beraubt.‹ (Sheol )
I thought to myself, “Is it necessary for me to die and go to the place where the dead people are during this time of my life when I am still strong? Is Yahweh going to rob me of the remaining years that I [should live]?” (Sheol )
Denn nicht die Unterwelt preist dich, nicht der Tod verkündet dein Lob, nicht die in die Gruft Hinabgefahrenen hoffen auf deine Treue; (Sheol )
Dead people [MTY] cannot praise you; they cannot sing to praise you. Those who have descended to their graves cannot confidently expect you to faithfully [do things for them]. (Sheol )
Auch bist du mit Öl zum Moloch gezogen und hast wohlriechende Salben in Menge mitgenommen, hast deine Boten weithin gesandt und dich erniedrigt bis zur Unterwelt. (Sheol )
You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol )
So hat Gott der HERR gesprochen: »An dem Tage, als sie in das Totenreich hinabfuhr, ließ ich die unterirdische Flut sich in Trauer um sie hüllen und hielt ihre Strömung zurück, so daß die reichlichen Wasser gehemmt wurden; den Libanon hüllte ich ihretwegen in ein Trauergewand, und alle Bäume des Gefildes mußten ihretwegen verschmachten. (Sheol )
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When that great tree was cut down, [it was as though] the springs that watered it mourned for it, because I caused the plentiful water [from the springs] to dry up. I caused [the mountains in] Lebanon to become black, and all the trees there to wither. (Sheol )
Durch das Gedröhn ihres Sturzes machte ich die Völker erzittern, als ich sie in das Totenreich hinabsinken ließ zu den in die Grube Hinabgefahrenen; da trösteten sich im unterirdischen Lande alle Bäume Edens, die erlesensten und schönsten auf dem Libanon, alle, die vom Wasser getränkt wurden. (Sheol )
I caused the people of other nations to tremble when they heard that tree fall to the ground. [They realized] that it would decay, like all people who die and are buried decay. And all the [leaders of other countries represented by] other beautiful trees in my garden in Eden and in Lebanon, were like beautiful trees [that were very proud]. They were ones which had roots that grew down deep into the [ground where there was plenty of] water. They were comforted when [the king represented by] [MET] that cedar tree was there with them in the place where the dead people are. (Sheol )
Auch sie mußten mit ihr in das Totenreich hinabfahren zu den vom Schwert Durchbohrten, die vordem als ihre Helfer in ihrem Schatten gewohnt hatten inmitten der Völker. (Sheol )
The [leaders of other countries represented by] [MET] trees that grew in the shade of the huge tree, [the allies of] the great nation [that the cedar tree represents], had also joined those who had been killed by the sword and gone down to where the dead people are. (Sheol )
Da werden die Vornehmsten unter den tapferen Kriegern mitten aus dem Totenreich heraus ihm samt seinen Helfern zurufen: Sie sind herabgekommen, sie liegen da, die Unbeschnittenen, vom Schwert erschlagen!‹« (Sheol )
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol )
Sie liegen nicht bei den in der Vorzeit gefallenen Helden, die in ihrer vollen Kriegswehr in das Totenreich hinabgefahren sind, denen man ihre Schwerter unter das Haupt und ihre Schilde auf die Gebeine gelegt hat, weil einstmals ein Schrecken vor ihrer Heldenkraft im Lande der Lebenden geherrscht hat. (Sheol )
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol )
Aus der Gewalt des Totenreiches sollte ich sie befreien, vom Tode sie loskaufen? Nein, wo sind deine Seuchen, o Tod? Wo ist deine Pest, o Unterwelt? Mitleid ist meinen Augen unbekannt! (Sheol )
I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol )
Wenn sie in die Unterwelt einbrechen, wird meine Hand sie von dort zurückholen; und wenn sie in den Himmel hinaufsteigen, will ich sie auch von dort hinabstürzen; (Sheol )
If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol )
»Gerufen habe ich aus meiner Bedrängnis zum HERRN, da hat er mich erhört; aus dem Schoß der Unterwelt habe ich um Hilfe geschrien, da hast du mein Rufen vernommen. (Sheol )
Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol )
Und nunmehr – so steht’s: Der Wein trügt; der übermütige Mann, der ruht nicht, er, der seinen gierigen Rachen weit aufsperrt wie die Unterwelt und unersättlich ist wie der Tod, so daß er alle Völker an sich rafft und alle Völkerschaften in sich aufnimmt. (Sheol )
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol )
Ich dagegen sage euch: Wer seinem Bruder auch nur zürnt, der soll dem Gericht verfallen sein; und wer zu seinem Bruder ›Dummkopf‹ sagt, soll dem Hohen Rat verfallen sein; und wer ›du Narr‹ zu ihm sagt, soll der Feuerhölle verfallen sein. (Geenna )
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna )
Wenn dich also dein rechtes Auge ärgert, so reiß es aus und wirf es weg von dir; denn es ist besser für dich, daß eines deiner Glieder (dir) verloren geht, als daß dein ganzer Leib in die Hölle geworfen wird. (Geenna )
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna )
Und wenn deine rechte Hand dich ärgert, so haue sie ab und wirf sie weg von dir; denn es ist besser für dich, daß eines deiner Glieder (dir) verloren geht, als daß dein ganzer Leib in die Hölle geworfen wird. – (Geenna )
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna )
Fürchtet euch dabei nicht vor denen, die wohl den Leib töten, aber die Seele nicht zu töten vermögen; fürchtet euch vielmehr vor dem, der die Macht hat, sowohl die Seele als den Leib in der Hölle zu verderben! – (Geenna )
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna )
Und du, Kapernaum, wirst doch nicht etwa bis zum Himmel erhöht werden? Nein, bis zur Totenwelt wirst du hinabgestoßen werden. Denn wenn in Sodom die Wunder geschehen wären, die in dir geschehen sind, so stände es noch heutigen Tages. (Hadēs )
[also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city] [MTY]. (Do not [think that] you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you think that you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs )
Auch wenn jemand ein Wort gegen den Menschensohn ausspricht, wird es ihm vergeben werden; wer aber gegen den heiligen Geist spricht, dem wird es weder in dieser Weltzeit noch in der künftigen vergeben werden. (aiōn )
[God is willing to] forgive people who criticize [me], the One who came from heaven. But I [warn you that] those who say evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does] will not be forgiven {[God] will not forgive people who speak evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does]}. They will not be forgiven {[He] will not forgive them} now, and they will never be forgiven {[he] will never forgive them}.” (aiōn )
Wo sodann unter die Dornen gesät worden ist, das bedeutet einen Menschen, der das Wort wohl hört, bei dem aber die weltlichen Sorgen und der Betrug des Reichtums das Wort ersticken, so daß es ohne Frucht bleibt. (aiōn )
[Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn )
der Feind ferner, der das Unkraut gesät hat, ist der Teufel; die Ernte ist das Ende dieser Weltzeit, und die Schnitter sind Engel. (aiōn )
The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn )
Wie nun das Unkraut gesammelt und im Feuer verbrannt wird, so wird es auch am Ende der Weltzeit der Fall sein: (aiōn )
The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn )
So wird es auch am Ende der Weltzeit zugehen: Die Engel werden ausgehen und die Bösen aus der Mitte der Gerechten absondern (aiōn )
[What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn )
Und nun sage auch ich dir: Du bist Petrus (Fels, d. h. Felsenmann), und auf diesem Felsen will ich meine Gemeinde erbauen, und die Pforten des Totenreiches sollen sie nicht überwältigen. (Hadēs )
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs )
Wenn nun deine Hand oder dein Fuß dich ärgert, so haue sie ab und wirf sie von dir! Es ist besser für dich, verstümmelt oder lahm ins Leben einzugehen, als daß du beide Hände oder beide Füße hast und in das ewige Feuer geworfen wirst. (aiōnios )
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]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios , questioned)
Und wenn dein Auge dich ärgert, so reiße es aus und wirf es von dir! Es ist besser für dich, einäugig ins Leben einzugehen, als daß du beide Augen hast und ins Feuer der Hölle geworfen wirst. (Geenna )
If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna )
Da trat einer an ihn heran und fragte ihn: »Meister, was muß ich Gutes tun, um ewiges Leben zu erlangen?« (aiōnios )
[As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios )
Und jeder, der um meines Namens willen Brüder oder Schwestern, Vater oder Mutter, Weib oder Kinder, Äcker oder Häuser verlassen hat, wird vielmal Wertvolleres empfangen und ewiges Leben erben. (aiōnios )
[God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios )
und als er einen einzelnen Feigenbaum am Wege stehen sah, ging er zu ihm hin, fand aber nichts anderes an ihm als Blätter. Da sagte er zu ihm: »Nie mehr soll noch Frucht von dir kommen in Ewigkeit!«, und der Feigenbaum verdorrte sofort. (aiōn )
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn )
Wehe euch, Schriftgelehrte und Pharisäer, ihr Heuchler! Denn ihr durchreist Land und Meer, um einen einzigen Glaubensgenossen zu gewinnen; und wenn er es geworden ist, macht ihr aus ihm ein Kind der Hölle, das doppelt so schlimm ist als ihr selbst. (Geenna )
“You are hypocrites, you men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees! Your punishment will be terrible, because you exert yourselves very much to get [even] one person to believe what you teach. For instance, you travel across seas and lands [to distant places] in order to do that. And [as a result], when one person [believes what you teach], you make that person much more deserving to go to hell than you yourselves [deserve to].” (Geenna )
Ihr Schlangen, ihr Otternbrut! Wie wollt ihr dem Strafgericht der Hölle entrinnen?!« (Geenna )
[You people are so wicked] You are [as dangerous as poisonous] snakes [DOU, MET]! (You [foolishly] think that you will escape being punished in hell!/Do you [foolishly] think that you will escape when [God] punishes [wicked people] in hell?) [RHQ] (Geenna )
Als er sich dann auf dem Ölberg niedergesetzt hatte, traten die Jünger, als sie für sich allein waren, an ihn mit der Bitte heran: »Sage uns doch: wann wird dies geschehen? Und welches ist das Zeichen deiner Ankunft und der Vollendung der Weltzeit?« (aiōn )
[Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn )
Alsdann wird er auch zu denen auf seiner linken Seite sagen: ›Hinweg von mir, ihr Verfluchten, in das ewige Feuer, das für den Teufel und seine Engel bereitet ist! (aiōnios )
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios )
Und diese werden in die ewige Strafe gehen, die Gerechten aber in das ewige Leben.« (aiōnios )
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios )
und lehrt sie alles halten, was ich euch geboten habe. Und wisset wohl: Ich bin bei euch alle Tage bis ans Ende der Weltzeit!« (aiōn )
Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn )
wer sich aber gegen den heiligen Geist der Lästerung schuldig macht, der erlangt in Ewigkeit keine Vergebung, sondern ist einer ewigen Sünde schuldig« – (aiōn , aiōnios )
But if anyone speaks evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does], [God] will never forgive that. That person’s guilt will remain with him forever.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
doch die weltlichen Sorgen und der Betrug des Reichtums und die sonstigen Gelüste dringen in sie ein und ersticken das Wort: so bleibt es ohne Frucht. (aiōn )
they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn )
Und wenn deine Hand dich ärgert, so haue sie ab! Es ist besser für dich, verstümmelt in das Leben einzugehen, als daß du deine beiden Hände hast und in die Hölle kommst, in das unauslöschliche Feuer. (Geenna )
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna )
Und wenn dein Fuß dich ärgert, so haue ihn ab! Es ist besser für dich, als Lahmer in das Leben einzugehen, als daß du deine beiden Füße hast und in die Hölle geworfen wirst. (Geenna )
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna )
Und wenn dein Auge dich ärgert, so reiße es aus! Es ist besser für dich, einäugig in das Reich Gottes einzugehen, als daß du beide Augen hast und in die Hölle geworfen wirst, (Geenna )
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna )
Als er dann (wieder) aufbrach, um weiterzuwandern, lief einer auf ihn zu, warf sich vor ihm auf die Knie nieder und fragte ihn: »Guter Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu erben?« (aiōnios )
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios )
ohne daß er hundertmal Wertvolleres (wieder) empfängt, nämlich schon jetzt in dieser Zeitlichkeit Häuser, Brüder und Schwestern, Mütter, Kinder und Äcker (wenn auch) inmitten von Verfolgungen und in der künftigen Weltzeit ewiges Leben. (aiōn , aiōnios )
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn , aiōnios )
Da rief er dem Baume die Worte zu: »Nie mehr in Ewigkeit soll jemand eine Frucht von dir essen!« Und seine Jünger hörten es. (aiōn )
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn )
und er wird als König über das Haus Jakobs in alle Ewigkeit herrschen, und sein Königtum wird kein Ende haben.« (aiōn )
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn )
wie er es unsern Vätern verheißen hat, dem Abraham und seinen Nachkommen in Ewigkeit.« (aiōn )
He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn )
So hat er es durch den Mund seiner heiligen Propheten von alters her verheißen: (aiōn )
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn )
Diese baten ihn nun, er möchte ihnen nicht gebieten, in den Abgrund zu fahren. (Abyssos )
[The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos )
Und du, Kapernaum, wirst doch nicht etwa bis zum Himmel erhöht werden? Nein, bis zum Totenreich wirst du hinabgestoßen werden! (Hadēs )
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs )
Da trat ein Gesetzeslehrer auf, um ihn zu versuchen, und fragte: »Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu ererben?« (aiōnios )
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios )
Ich will euch aber angeben, vor wem ihr euch zu fürchten habt: Fürchtet euch vor dem, der die Macht besitzt zu töten und dann auch noch in die Hölle zu werfen! Ja, ich sage euch: Vor diesem fürchtet euch! – (Geenna )
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna )
Und der Herr lobte den unehrlichen Verwalter, daß er klug gehandelt habe; denn – sagte er – »die Kinder dieser Weltzeit sind im Verkehr mit ihresgleichen klüger als die Kinder des Lichts. (aiōn )
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn )
Auch ich sage euch: Macht euch Freunde mit dem ungerechten Mammon, damit, wenn er euch ausgeht, ihr Aufnahme in den ewigen Hütten findet.« (aiōnios )
[So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios )
Als dieser nun im Totenreich, wo er Qualen litt, seine Augen aufschlug, erblickte er Abraham in der Ferne und Lazarus in seinem Schoß. (Hadēs )
In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs )
Hierauf richtete ein Oberster die Frage an ihn: »Guter Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu ererben?« (aiōnios )
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios )
der nicht vielmal Wertvolleres wiederempfinge (schon) in dieser Zeitlichkeit, und in der zukünftigen Weltzeit ewiges Leben.« (aiōn , aiōnios )
will receive in this life many times as much [as they left]. And in the future age they will (live eternally [with God]/ have eternal life).” (aiōn , aiōnios )
Da sagte Jesus zu ihnen: »Die Kinder der jetzigen Weltzeit heiraten und werden verheiratet; (aiōn )
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn )
diejenigen aber, welche würdig befunden worden sind, an jener Weltzeit und an der Auferstehung der Toten teilzunehmen, die heiraten weder noch werden sie verheiratet; (aiōn )
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn )
damit alle, die (an ihn) glauben, in ihm ewiges Leben haben. (aiōnios )
As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.” (aiōnios )
Denn so sehr hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn hingegeben hat, damit alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren gehen, sondern ewiges Leben haben. (aiōnios )
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son [as a sacrifice for us], in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life. (aiōnios )
Wer an den Sohn glaubt, hat ewiges Leben; wer aber dem Sohne ungehorsam bleibt, wird das Leben nicht zu sehen bekommen, sondern der Zorn Gottes bleibt auf ihn gerichtet.« (aiōnios )
Those who trust in [God’s] Son have eternal life. But those who reject God’s Son will never have [eternal] life. Instead, God is angry with them [and he will surely punish them]. (aiōnios )
wer aber von dem Wasser trinkt, das ich ihm geben werde, der wird in Ewigkeit nicht wieder Durst leiden, sondern das Wasser, das ich ihm geben werde, wird in ihm zu einer Wasserquelle werden, die zu ewigem Leben sprudelt.« (aiōn , aiōnios )
But those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. On the contrary, the water that I give them will become in their inner beings like a spring of water that will enable them to have eternal life.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
Nunmehr empfängt der Schnitter Lohn, und zwar dadurch, daß er Frucht sammelt zu ewigem Leben, damit beide sich gemeinsam freuen, der Sämann und der Schnitter. (aiōnios )
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios )
Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage euch: Wer mein Wort hört und dem glaubt, der mich gesandt hat, der hat ewiges Leben und kommt nicht ins Gericht, sondern ist aus dem Tode ins Leben hinübergegangen. (aiōnios )
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios )
Ihr durchforscht (wohl) die (heiligen) Schriften, weil ihr in ihnen ewiges Leben zu haben vermeint, und sie sind es auch wirklich, die von mir Zeugnis ablegen; (aiōnios )
You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios )
Verschafft euch doch nicht die Speise, die vergänglich ist, sondern die Speise, die für das ewige Leben vorhält und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird; denn diesen hat Gott der Vater besiegelt.« (aiōnios )
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios )
Denn das ist der Wille meines Vaters, daß jeder, der den Sohn sieht und an ihn glaubt, ewiges Leben habe, und ich werde ihn am jüngsten Tage auferwecken.« (aiōnios )
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios )
Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage euch: Wer da glaubt, hat ewiges Leben! (aiōnios )
Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios )
Ich bin das lebendige Brot, das aus dem Himmel herabgekommen ist: wenn jemand von diesem Brote ißt, so wird er ewiglich leben; und zwar ist das Brot, das ich (zu essen) geben werde, mein Fleisch, (das ich geben werde) für das Leben der Welt.« (aiōn )
I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn )
wer (dagegen) mein Fleisch ißt und mein Blut trinkt, der hat ewiges Leben, und ich werde ihn am jüngsten Tage auferwecken. (aiōnios )
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios )
Von solcher Beschaffenheit ist das Brot, das aus dem Himmel herabgekommen ist; es ist nicht von der Art, wie die Väter es gegessen haben und gestorben sind; nein, wer dieses Brot ißt, wird leben in Ewigkeit.« (aiōn )
[I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn )
Simon Petrus antwortete ihm: »Herr, zu wem sollten wir gehen? Du hast Worte ewigen Lebens; (aiōnios )
Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios )
Der Knecht aber bleibt nicht für immer im Hause, der Sohn dagegen bleibt für immer darin. (aiōn )
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn )
Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage euch: Wenn jemand mein Wort bewahrt, wird er den Tod in Ewigkeit nicht sehen.« (aiōn )
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn )
Da entgegneten ihm die Juden: »Jetzt wissen wir sicher, daß du von einem bösen Geist besessen bist. Abraham ist gestorben und (ebenso) die Propheten, und du behauptest: ›Wenn jemand mein Wort bewahrt, wird er den Tod in Ewigkeit nicht schmecken.‹ (aiōn )
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn )
Von der Weltzeit an hat man noch nicht vernommen, daß jemand einem Blindgeborenen die Augen aufgetan hat. (aiōn )
No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn )
und ich gebe ihnen ewiges Leben, und sie werden in alle Ewigkeit nicht umkommen, und niemand wird sie meiner Hand entreißen. (aiōn , aiōnios )
I will give them eternal life. No one will separate them from me, not ever. No one shall ever pull them away from belonging to me. (aiōn , aiōnios )
und wer da lebt und an mich glaubt, wird in Ewigkeit nicht sterben! Glaubst du das?« (aiōn )
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn )
Wer sein Leben liebt, verliert es; wer aber sein Leben in dieser Welt haßt, wird es zu ewigem Leben bewahren. (aiōnios )
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios )
Da entgegnete ihm die Volksmenge: »Wir haben aus dem Gesetz gehört, daß Christus in Ewigkeit (am Leben) bleibt; wie kannst du da behaupten, der Menschensohn müsse erhöht werden? Wer ist denn dieser Menschensohn?« (aiōn )
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn )
und ich weiß, daß sein Auftrag ewiges Leben bedeutet. Was ich also rede, das rede ich so, wie der Vater es mir gesagt hat.« (aiōnios )
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios )
Petrus entgegnete ihm: »Nun und nimmer sollst du mir die Füße waschen!« Jesus antwortete ihm: »Wenn ich dich nicht wasche, so hast du keinen Anteil an mir.« (aiōn )
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn )
und ich werde den Vater bitten, und er wird euch einen anderen Helfer geben, damit er bis in Ewigkeit bei euch sei: (aiōn )
Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn )
Du hast ihm ja Macht über alles Fleisch verliehen, damit er allen, die du ihm gegeben hast, ewiges Leben gebe. (aiōnios )
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 )
Darin besteht aber das ewige Leben, daß sie dich, den allein wahren Gott, und den du gesandt hast, Jesus Christus, erkennen. (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 )
denn du wirst meine Seele nicht im Totenreich belassen und nicht zugeben, daß dein Heiliger die Verwesung sieht. (Hadēs )
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs )
so hat er vorausschauend von der Auferstehung Christi geredet, daß dieser nämlich weder dem Totenreich überlassen worden ist noch sein Leib die Verwesung gesehen hat. (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 )
Diesen muß allerdings der Himmel aufnehmen bis zu den Zeiten der Wiederherstellung alles dessen, was Gott durch den Mund seiner heiligen Propheten von der Urzeit her verkündet hat. (aiōn )
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 )
Da erklärten ihnen Paulus und Barnabas mit Freimut: »Euch (Juden) mußte das Wort Gottes zuerst verkündigt werden; weil ihr es aber zurückstoßt und euch selbst des ewigen Lebens nicht für würdig erachtet, so wenden wir uns nunmehr zu den Heiden! (aiōnios )
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 )
Als die Heiden das hörten, freuten sie sich und priesen das Wort des Herrn; und alle, soweit sie zum ewigen Leben verordnet waren, wurden gläubig. (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 )
wie es von Ewigkeit her kund geworden ist.‹ (aiōn )
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn )
Sein unsichtbares Wesen läßt sich ja doch seit Erschaffung der Welt an seinen Werken mit dem geistigen Auge deutlich ersehen, nämlich seine ewige Macht und göttliche Größe. Daher gibt es keine Entschuldigung für sie, (aïdios )
[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 )
denn sie haben die Wahrheit Gottes mit der Lüge vertauscht und Anbetung und Verehrung dem Geschaffenen erwiesen anstatt dem Schöpfer, der da gepriesen ist in Ewigkeit. Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
nämlich ewiges Leben (wird er geben) denen, welche im guten Werk standhaft ausharrend, nach Herrlichkeit, Ehre und Unvergänglichkeit trachten; (aiōnios )
[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 )
damit, gleichwie die Sünde königlich geherrscht hat durch den Tod, so auch die Gnade ihre Königsherrschaft ausübe durch (gottgewirkte) Gerechtigkeit zum ewigen Leben durch Jesus Christus, unsern Herrn. (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 )
Jetzt dagegen, wo ihr von der Sünde frei und Knechte Gottes geworden seid, habt ihr als eure Frucht die Heiligung und als Endergebnis das ewige Leben. (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 )
Denn der Sold, den die Sünde zahlt, ist der Tod, die Gnadengabe Gottes aber ist das ewige Leben in Christus Jesus, unserm Herrn. (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 )
denen die Erzväter angehören und aus denen der Messias dem Fleische nach stammt: der da Gott über allem ist, gepriesen in Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
oder: ›Wer wird in den Abgrund hinabsteigen?‹ – nämlich um Christus von den Toten heraufzuholen« –, (Abyssos )
“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 )
Denn Gott hat alle zusammen in Ungehorsam verschlossen, um allen Erbarmen widerfahren zu lassen. (eleēsē )
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 )
Denn von ihm und durch ihn und zu ihm sind alle Dinge: ihm gebührt die Ehre in Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
Gestaltet eure Lebensführung nicht nach der Weise dieser Weltzeit, sondern wandelt euch um durch die Erneuerung eures Sinnes, damit ihr ein sicheres Urteil darüber gewinnt, welches der Wille Gottes sei, nämlich das Gute und (Gott) Wohlgefällige und Vollkommene. (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 )
Ihm aber, der die Kraft hat, euch (im Glauben) fest zu machen nach meiner Heilsverkündigung und der Predigt von Jesus Christus nach der Offenbarung des Geheimnisses, das ewige Zeiten hindurch verschwiegen geblieben, (aiōnios )
As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios )
jetzt aber bekanntgegeben und auch durch prophetische Schriften nach dem Auftrage des ewigen Gottes bei allen Heidenvölkern verkündigt worden ist, um Glaubensgehorsam (bei ihnen) zu wirken: (aiōnios )
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios )
ihm, dem allein weisen Gott, sei durch Jesus Christus die Herrlichkeit in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Wo ist denn ein Weiser? Wo ein Gelehrter? Wo ein Forscher dieser Weltzeit? Hat Gott nicht die Weisheit der Welt als Torheit hingestellt? (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 )
Was wir aber vortragen, ist dennoch Weisheit – bei den Vollkommenen, jedoch nicht die Weisheit dieser Weltzeit, auch nicht die der Machthaber dieser Weltzeit, die dem Untergang verfallen: (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 )
nein, wir tragen Gottes geheimnisvolle, verborgene Weisheit vor, die Gott vor allen Weltzeiten zu unserer Verherrlichung vorherbestimmt hat. (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 )
Diese (Weisheit) hat keiner von den Machthabern dieser Weltzeit erkannt; denn hätten sie sie erkannt, so hätten sie den Herrn der Herrlichkeit nicht ans Kreuz geschlagen; (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 )
Niemand betrüge sich selbst! Wenn jemand unter euch in (den Dingen) dieser Weltzeit weise zu sein vermeint, so muß er erst ein Tor werden, um dann wirklich zur Weisheit zu gelangen; (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 )
Darum, wenn Speise meinem Bruder zum Anstoß wird, so will ich in Ewigkeit kein Fleisch genießen, um meinem Bruder kein Ärgernis zu bereiten. (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 )
Dies alles ist jenen aber vorbildlicherweise widerfahren und ist niedergeschrieben worden zur Warnung für uns, denen das Ende der Weltzeiten nahe bevorsteht. (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 )
Tod, wo ist dein Sieg? (Hadēs )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )
weil in ihnen der Gott dieser Weltzeit das Denkvermögen der Ungläubigen verdunkelt hat, damit ihnen das helle Licht der Heilsbotschaft von der Herrlichkeit Christi, der das Ebenbild Gottes ist, nicht leuchte. (aiōn )
[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 )
Denn die augenblickliche, leicht wiegende Last unserer Leiden bringt uns in überschwenglicher Weise über alles Maß hinaus ein ewiges Vollgewicht von Herrlichkeit ein, (aiōnios )
[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 )
weil wir den Blick nicht auf das Sichtbare, sondern auf das Unsichtbare richten; denn das Sichtbare ist zeitlich, das Unsichtbare aber bleibt ewig. (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 )
Wir wissen ja, daß, wenn unser irdisches Haus, das Leibeszelt, abgebrochen sein wird, wir einen von Gott bereiteten Bau erhalten, ein nicht von Menschenhänden hergestelltes, ewiges Haus im Himmel. (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 )
wie geschrieben steht: »Er hat reichlich ausgeteilt, hat den Armen gespendet; seine Gerechtigkeit bleibt ewig bestehen.« (aiōn )
[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 )
Der Gott und Vater des Herrn Jesus, der in alle Ewigkeit Hochgelobte, weiß, daß ich nicht lüge. (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 )
der sich für unsere Sünden hingegeben hat, um uns aus der gegenwärtigen bösen Welt zu erretten, nach dem Willen unsers Gottes und Vaters. (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 )
Diesem sei die Ehre in alle Ewigkeit. Amen. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Denn wer auf sein Fleisch sät, wird vom Fleisch Verderben ernten; wer aber auf den Geist sät, wird vom Geist ewiges Leben ernten. (aiōnios )
[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 )
hocherhaben über jede (andere) Herrschaft und Gewalt, über jede Macht und Hoheit, überhaupt über jeden Namen, der nicht nur in dieser, sondern auch in der zukünftigen Weltzeit genannt wird. (aiōn )
[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 )
in denen ihr einst wandeltet, abhängig vom Zeitgeist dieser Welt, abhängig von dem Machthaber, der die Gewalt über die Luft hat, dem Geist, der gegenwärtig in den Söhnen des Ungehorsams wirksam ist, – (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 )
um in den kommenden Weltzeiten den überschwenglichen Reichtum seiner Gnade durch die Gütigkeit gegen uns in Christus Jesus zu erweisen. (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 )
und allen Aufklärung darüber zu geben, welche Bewandtnis es mit der Verwirklichung des Geheimnisses hat, das von Urzeiten in Gott, dem Schöpfer aller Dinge, verborgen gewesen ist, (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 )
Diesen Vorsatz, den er von Ewigkeit her gefaßt hatte, hat er zur Ausführung gebracht in Christus Jesus, unserm Herrn, (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
ihm gebührt die Ehre in der Gemeinde und in Christus Jesus bis hinaus auf alle Geschlechter aller Zeiten der Ewigkeit! Amen. (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 )
Denn wir haben nicht mit Wesen von Fleisch und Blut zu kämpfen, sondern mit den (überirdischen) Mächten, mit den (teuflischen) Gewalten, mit den Beherrschern dieser Welt der Finsternis, mit den bösen Geisterwesen in der Himmelswelt. (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 )
Unserm Gott und Vater aber sei die Ehre in alle Ewigkeit! (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
nämlich das Geheimnis, das, seitdem es Weltzeiten und Menschengeschlechter gibt, verborgen gewesen, jetzt aber seinen Heiligen geoffenbart worden ist. (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 )
Diese werden als Strafe ewiges Verderben erleiden fern vom Angesicht des Herrn und fern von der Herrlichkeit seiner Kraft, (aiōnios )
[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 )
Er selbst aber, unser Herr Jesus Christus, und Gott, unser Vater, der uns geliebt und uns einen ewigen Trost und eine gute Hoffnung in Gnaden geschenkt hat, (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 )
Aber gerade deshalb ist mir Barmherzigkeit widerfahren, weil Christus Jesus an mir als dem ersten die ganze Fülle seiner Langmut erweisen wollte, um an mir vorbildlich darzustellen, was für Menschen künftighin durch den Glauben an ihn zum ewigen Leben gelangen würden. (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 )
Ihm aber, dem Könige der Weltzeiten, dem unvergänglichen, unsichtbaren, alleinigen Gott, sei Ehre und Verherrlichung in alle Ewigkeiten! Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
Kämpfe den guten Kampf des Glaubens, ergreife das ewige Leben, zu dem du berufen bist und für das du das herrliche Bekenntnis vor vielen Zeugen abgelegt hast. (aiōnios )
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 )
der allein Unsterblichkeit besitzt, der da wohnt in einem unzugänglichen Licht, den kein Mensch gesehen hat noch zu sehen vermag: ihm gebührt Ehre und Macht! Amen. (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 )
Denen, die Reichtum in der jetzigen Weltzeit besitzen, schärfe ein, daß sie sich nicht überheben und ihre Hoffnung nicht auf die Unsicherheit des Reichtums setzen, sondern auf Gott, der uns alles reichlich zum Genießen darbietet. (aiōn )
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 )
der uns errettet hat und berufen mit einer heiligen Berufung, nicht auf Grund unserer Werke, sondern nach seinem Vorsatz und nach seiner Gnade, die uns in Christus Jesus vor ewigen Zeiten verliehen, (aiōnios )
[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 )
Deshalb ertrage ich auch alles standhaft um der Auserwählten willen, damit auch sie das Heil, das in Christus Jesus (begründet) ist, samt der ewigen Herrlichkeit erlangen. (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 )
denn Demas hat mich aus Liebe zur jetzigen Weltzeit verlassen und ist nach Thessalonike abgereist, Crescens nach Galatien, Titus nach Dalmatien; (aiōn )
[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 )
Der Herr wird mich auch fernerhin vor allen Anschlägen der Bosheit behüten und mich hinüberretten in sein himmlisches Reich: ihm sei die Ehre in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (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 )
(bestellt) aufgrund der Hoffnung des ewigen Lebens, das der untrügliche Gott (schon) vor ewigen Zeiten verheißen hat – (aiōnios )
[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 )
indem sie uns dazu erzieht, dem gottlosen Wesen und den weltlichen Begierden abzusagen und besonnen, gerecht und gottselig (schon) in der gegenwärtigen Weltzeit zu leben, (aiōn )
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 )
damit wir durch seine Gnade gerechtgesprochen und unserer Hoffnung gemäß Erben des ewigen Lebens würden. (aiōnios )
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 )
Vielleicht ist er nämlich nur deswegen eine Zeitlang (von dir) getrennt gewesen, damit du ihn auf ewig wieder erhieltest, (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 )
hat er am Ende dieser Tage zu uns geredet im Sohn, den er zum Erben von allem eingesetzt, durch den er auch die Weltzeiten geschaffen hat. (aiōn )
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 )
aber in bezug auf den Sohn: »Dein Thron, o Gott, steht fest in alle Ewigkeit, und der Stab der Geradheit ist der Stab deiner Königsherrschaft. (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 )
wie er auch an einer anderen Stelle sagt: »Du bist Priester in Ewigkeit nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks.« (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 )
Nachdem er so zur Vollendung gelangt war, ist er für alle, die ihm gehorsam sind, der Urheber ewigen Heils geworden, (aiōnios )
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 )
mit der Belehrung über Waschungen und Handauflegung, über Totenauferstehung und ewiges Gericht. (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 )
und das köstliche Gotteswort und die Kräfte der zukünftigen Welt gekostet haben (aiōn )
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 )
wohin Jesus als Vorläufer uns zum Heil hineingegangen ist, insofern er »Hoherpriester nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks« geworden ist in Ewigkeit. (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 )
Denn ihm wird bezeugt: »Du bist Priester in Ewigkeit nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks.« (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 )
dieser dagegen mit einem Eidschwur von seiten dessen, der zu ihm spricht: »Geschworen hat der Herr, und es wird ihn nicht gereuen: du bist Priester in Ewigkeit« –: (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 )
hier aber ist es ein solcher, der, weil er »in Ewigkeit« bleibt, ein nie wechselndes Priestertum im Besitz hat. (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )
Denn das (mosaische) Gesetz bestellt zu Hohenpriestern Menschen, die mit Schwachheit behaftet sind; das Wort des Eidschwurs dagegen, der erst nach dem Gesetz erfolgt ist, setzt einen Sohn ein, der für die Ewigkeit vollendet ist. (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 )
auch nicht mittels des Blutes von Böcken und Kälbern, sondern mittels seines eigenen Blutes ein für allemal in das (himmlische) Heiligtum eingetreten und hat eine ewiggültige Erlösung ausfindig gemacht. (aiōnios )
[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 )
um wieviel mehr wird das Blut Christi, der kraft ewigen Geistes sich selbst als ein fehlerloses Opfer Gott dargebracht hat, unser Gewissen von toten Werken reinigen, damit wir dem lebendigen Gott dienen! (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 )
Und aus diesem Grunde ist er auch der Mittler eines neuen Bundes, damit aufgrund eines Todes, der zum Erlaß der während der Dauer des ersten Bundes begangenen Übertretungen erfolgt ist, die Berufenen das verheißene Gut des ewigen Erbes empfangen sollten. (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 )
sonst hätte er ja seit Erschaffung der Welt oftmals leiden müssen. So aber ist er nur einmal am Ende der Weltzeiten offenbar geworden, um die Sünde durch sein Opfer aufzuheben. (aiōn )
[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 )
Durch Glauben erkennen wir, daß die Welt durch Gottes Wort ins Dasein gerufen worden ist; es sollte eben das jetzt Sichtbare nicht aus dem sinnlich Wahrnehmbaren entstanden sein. (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 )
Jesus Christus ist gestern und heute derselbe und (ist’s auch = bleibt’s auch) in Ewigkeit! – (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Der Gott des Friedens aber, der den großen Hirten der Schafe, unsern Herrn Jesus, von den Toten heraufgeführt hat durch das Blut des ewigen Bundes, (aiōnios )
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 )
der möge euch in allem Guten zur Ausrichtung seines Willens ausrüsten und in uns das wirken, was (vor) ihm wohlgefällig ist, durch Jesus Christus, dem die Herrlichkeit gebührt in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
Auch die Zunge ist ein Feuer; als der Inbegriff der Ungerechtigkeit steht die Zunge unter unsern Gliedern da, sie, die den ganzen Leib befleckt, die sowohl das (rollende) Rad des Seins in Brand setzt als auch (selbst) von der Hölle in Brand gesetzt wird. (Geenna )
[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 )
ihr seid ja nicht aus vergänglichem, sondern aus unvergänglichem Samen wiedergeboren, nämlich durch das lebendige und ewigbleibende Wort Gottes. (aiōn )
[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 )
das Wort des Herrn aber bleibt in Ewigkeit«. Dies ist aber das Wort, das euch als Heilsbotschaft verkündigt worden ist. (aiōn )
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn )
Redet jemand, so seien seine Worte wie Aussprüche Gottes; hat jemand Dienste (als Diakon) zu leisten, so (tue er es) in der Kraft, die Gott verleiht, damit in allen Fällen Gott verherrlicht werde durch Jesus Christus: sein ist die Herrlichkeit und die Macht in alle Ewigkeit. Amen. (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 )
Der Gott aller Gnade aber, der uns berufen hat zu seiner ewigen Herrlichkeit in Christus, der wird euch nach einer kurzen Leidenszeit vollbereiten, festigen, stärken und gründen. (aiōnios )
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 )
Sein ist die Macht in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
denn auf diese Weise wird euch der Eingang in das ewige Reich unsers Herrn und Retters Jesus Christus gewährt werden. (aiōnios )
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Gott hat ja nicht einmal gegen sündige Engel Schonung geübt, sondern hat sie in den tiefsten Abgrund hinabgestoßen, hinein in Ketten der Finsternis, wo sie für das Gericht aufbewahrt werden. (Tartaroō )
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 )
Wachst vielmehr in der Gnade und Erkenntnis unsers Herrn und Erretters Jesus Christus! Ihm gebührt die Herrlichkeit sowohl jetzt als auch für den Tag der Ewigkeit! (aiōn )
[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 )
und das Leben ist offenbar geworden, und wir haben (es) gesehen und bezeugen und verkündigen euch das ewige Leben, das beim Vater war und uns offenbar geworden ist –, (aiōnios )
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 )
und die Welt vergeht samt ihrer Lust; wer aber den Willen Gottes tut, der bleibt in Ewigkeit. (aiōn )
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 )
und das ist eben die Verheißung, die er uns gegeben hat: das ewige Leben. (aiōnios )
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios )
Jeder, der seinen Bruder haßt, ist ein Menschenmörder, und ihr wißt, daß kein Menschenmörder ewiges Leben als bleibenden Besitz in sich trägt. (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 )
Und dies Zeugnis lautet so: »Gott hat uns ewiges Leben gegeben, und dieses Leben ist in seinem Sohne vorhanden. (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 )
Dies habe ich euch, die ihr an den Namen des Sohnes Gottes glaubt, geschrieben, damit ihr wißt, daß ihr ewiges Leben habt. (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 )
Wir wissen aber (auch), daß der Sohn Gottes gekommen ist und uns Einsicht verliehen hat, damit wir den Wahrhaftigen erkennen; und wir sind in dem Wahrhaftigen, (indem wir) in seinem Sohne Jesus Christus (sind). Dieser ist der wahrhaftige Gott und ewiges Leben. (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 )
um der Wahrheit willen, die dauernd in uns wohnt und in unserer Mitte sein wird in Ewigkeit. (aiōn )
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn )
daß er ferner die Engel, die ihren Herrschaftsbereich nicht bewahrt, sondern ihre eigene Wohnstätte verlassen hatten, für den großen Gerichtstag mit ewigen Fesseln in der Finsternis drunten verwahrt hat. (aïdios )
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)
Wie Sodom und Gomorrha nebst den umliegenden Städten, die in gleicher Weise wie diese in Unzucht gelebt und (Wesen von) andersartigem Fleisch nachgestellt haben, stehen sie als warnendes Beispiel da, indem sie die Strafe ewigen Feuers zu erleiden haben. (aiōnios )
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)
wilde Meereswogen, die ihre eigenen Schändlichkeiten ausschäumen, Irrsterne, denen die dunkelste Finsternis in (alle) Ewigkeit aufbewahrt ist. (aiōn )
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)
und bewahret euch dadurch in der Liebe Gottes, voll zuversichtlichen Wartens auf die Barmherzigkeit unsers Herrn Jesus Christus, (die euch) zum ewigen Leben (führen wird)! (aiōnios )
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 )
ihm, dem alleinigen Gott, der durch unsern Herrn Jesus Christus unser Retter ist – ihm gebührt Herrlichkeit und Erhabenheit, Macht und Gewalt (wie) vor aller Weltzeit, (so) auch jetzt und in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn )
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 )
und uns zu einer Königsherrschaft gemacht hat, zu Priestern für seinen Gott und Vater: sein ist die Herrlichkeit und die Macht in alle Ewigkeit! 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 )
und der Lebende; ich war tot, und siehe, ich lebe in alle Ewigkeit und habe die Schlüssel des Todes und des Totenreiches. (aiōn , Hadēs )
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 )
Und jedesmal, wenn die vier Lebewesen Preis und Ehre und Danksagung dem darbringen, der auf dem Throne sitzt, dem, der in alle Ewigkeit lebt, (aiōn )
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
werfen sich die vierundzwanzig Ältesten vor dem auf dem Throne Sitzenden nieder und beten den an, der in alle Ewigkeit lebt, und legen ihre Kronen vor dem Throne nieder mit den Worten: (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 )
Und die ganze Schöpfung im Himmel und auf der Erde und unter der Erde und auf dem Meere und alles, was in ihnen lebt, hörte ich rufen: »Dem, der auf dem Throne sitzt, und dem Lamm (gebühren) Lobpreis und Ehre, Herrlichkeit und Macht in alle Ewigkeit.« (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 )
Da sah ich hin und erblickte ein fahles Roß, und der auf ihm sitzende (Reiter), der hieß ›der Tod‹, und das Totenreich bildete sein Gefolge; und es wurde ihnen die Macht über den vierten Teil der Erde gegeben, die (Menschen) durch das Schwert und Hunger, durch Pest und durch die wilden Tiere der Erde zu Tode zu bringen. (Hadēs )
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 )
und riefen: »Amen! Lobpreis und Herrlichkeit, Weisheit und Danksagung, Ehre, Macht und Stärke (gebühren) unserm Gott in alle Ewigkeit! Amen.« (aiōn )
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 )
Und der fünfte Engel stieß in die Posaune: da sah ich einen Stern, der vom Himmel auf die Erde gefallen war; und der Schlüssel zum Schlund des Abgrundes wurde ihm gegeben. (Abyssos )
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 )
Er schloß also den Schlund des Abgrundes auf: da stieg Rauch aus dem Schlunde empor wie der Rauch eines großen Ofens, und die Sonne und die Luft wurden durch den Rauch des Schlundes verfinstert. (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 )
Als König haben sie über sich den Engel des Abgrundes, der auf hebräisch ›Abaddon‹, auf griechisch ›Apollyon‹ heißt. (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 )
und schwur bei dem, der in alle Ewigkeit lebt, der den Himmel geschaffen hat und was in ihm ist, die Erde und was auf ihr ist und das Meer und was in ihm ist: »Es wird hinfort kein Verzug mehr sein, (aiōn )
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 )
Wenn sie dann mit ihrem Zeugnis zum Abschluß gekommen sind, wird das Tier, das aus dem Abgrund heraufsteigt, mit ihnen kämpfen und wird sie besiegen und sie töten; (Abyssos )
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 )
Nun stieß der siebte Engel in die Posaune: da ließen sich laute Stimmen im Himmel vernehmen, die riefen: »Die Königsherrschaft über die Welt ist an unsern Herrn und seinen Gesalbten gekommen, und er wird (fortan) als König in alle Ewigkeit herrschen!« (aiōn )
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 )
Dann sah ich einen anderen Engel hoch oben mitten am Himmel fliegen, der den Bewohnern der Erde und allen Völkerschaften und Stämmen, Sprachen und Völkern eine ewiggültige Heilsbotschaft zuverlässig zu verkündigen hatte. (aiōnios )
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 )
und der Rauch von ihrer Peinigung steigt in alle Ewigkeit auf, und sie haben keine Ruhe bei Tag und bei Nacht, sie die das Tier und sein Bild anbeten, und alle, die das Malzeichen seines Namens an sich tragen!« (aiōn )
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 )
Da gab eins von den vier Lebewesen den sieben Engeln sieben goldene Schalen, die mit dem Zorn des in alle Ewigkeit lebenden Gottes gefüllt waren; (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 )
Das Tier, das du gesehen hast, ist (schon früher) dagewesen und ist (jetzt) nicht mehr (da); doch wird es aus dem Abgrund wieder heraufsteigen und ins Verderben fahren; da werden dann die Bewohner der Erde sich verwundern, die, deren Name nicht eingeschrieben steht im Buch des Lebens seit Grundlegung der Welt, wenn sie sehen, daß das Tier (schon früher) dagewesen war und (jetzt) nicht mehr da ist und (nunmehr) wieder da sein wird. (Abyssos )
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 )
Und zum zweitenmal riefen sie: »Halleluja! Und der Rauch von ihr steigt in alle Ewigkeit auf!« (aiōn )
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn )
Da wurde das Tier gegriffen und mit ihm der Lügenprophet, der die Wunderzeichen vor seinen Augen getan und dadurch die verführt hatte, welche das Malzeichen des Tieres trugen und sein Bild anbeteten; bei lebendigem Leibe wurden beide in den Feuersee geworfen, der mit Schwefel brennt. (Limnē Pyr )
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 )
Dann sah ich einen Engel aus dem Himmel herabkommen, der den Schlüssel zum Abgrund und eine große Kette in seiner Hand hatte. (Abyssos )
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 )
warf ihn in den Abgrund, verschloß den Eingang und brachte über ihm ein Siegel an, damit er die Völker nicht mehr verführe, bis die tausend Jahre zu Ende sind; danach muß er auf kurze Zeit noch einmal freigelassen werden. (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 )
und ihr Verführer, der Teufel, wurde in den Feuer- und Schwefelsee geworfen, in welchem sich auch das Tier und der Lügenprophet befinden; dort werden sie bei Tag und bei Nacht in alle Ewigkeit gepeinigt werden. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
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 )
Und das Meer gab die Toten zurück, die es barg, und der Tod und das Totenreich gaben die Toten heraus, die sich in ihnen befanden, und sie wurden alle nach ihren Werken gerichtet; (Hadēs )
[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 )
hierauf wurden der Tod und das Totenreich in den Feuersee geworfen. Dies ist der zweite Tod, nämlich der Feuersee; (Hadēs , Limnē Pyr )
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 )
und wenn jemand nicht im Buch des Lebens verzeichnet gefunden wurde, so wurde er in den Feuersee geworfen. (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 )
Dagegen den Feigen und Ungläubigen, den Unreinen und Mördern, den Unzüchtigen und Zauberern, den Götzendienern und allen Lügnern soll ihr Teil in dem See werden, der mit Feuer und Schwefel brennt: dies ist der zweite Tod.« (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 )
Es wird dort auch keine Nacht mehr geben, und man bedarf keines Lampenlichts und keines Sonnenlichts; denn Gott der Herr wird ihnen leuchten, und sie werden als Könige in alle Ewigkeit herrschen. (aiōn )
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 )
