Nani ban yen habi ti moabiaditi ki sia maama, handuna juodima mo li baa tua yeni. (aiōn g165)

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 g1067)
A taali yaa baa kuani a ti tuonbiadi nni han jiali ki lu, aya kua li miali n ye naani leni taa yenli cie han kua mi fantama nni leni taana lie, (Geenna g1067)
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 g1067)
A nunbu yaa ba kuani a ti tounbiadi nni han ñani bu ki lu, ayaa kua UTienu diema leni nunyenbu cie han kua mi fantama nni leni nunnilie. (Geenna g1067)
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 g166)
Jesu n den cuoni yeni o joa den sani ki cua ki gbaani o nuntuali ki buali o: a canbaanŋamo n baa tieni be yo ki ba ya miali n kan gbeni? (aiōnios g166)
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 g165, aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
O den maadi ki yedi oba kuli nda go ŋmani a bonluonkaala, o hoadikaaba den gbadi wan yedi yaala. (aiōn g165)
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)

He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)

[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 g86)
Fini, Kapenayuma dogu moko, a tama ke a baa fiini a yuli ŋali tanpoli po bi? Aa a, bi baa jiini a ŋali bi tinkpiba diema.” (Hadēs g86)
[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 g166)
U Tienu balimaama bangikaciamo yendo den fii ki bua ki biigi Jesu ki yedi o: “Canbaa, n baa tieni lede ki baa ya miali n kan gbeni?” (aiōnios g166)
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 g1067)
N baa waani yi yin baa jie yua. Ya jie mani yua n baa fidi ki kpa yi, ki go yuandi ki lu yi ku fantanbuogu nni. Yeni de, n yedi yi ke wani n tie yin baa jie yua. (Geenna g1067)
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 g165)
O canbaa den pagi laa ŋalimankubilo yua n kaa tiegi, kelima o den tieni u fanu.” Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “Handuna yaaba fani leni bi lieba ki cie yaaba n tie mi yenma yaaba. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)

As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.” (aiōnios g166)
ke yua n daani o kuli n fidi ki baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Kelima U Tienu den bua handuna hali boncianla, ki puni o bi ja yenyenga ke yua n daani o kuli n da bodi ama wan baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Yua n daani bi Jua pia yaa miali n kan gbeni, ama yua n ki daani bi Jua kan le li miali U Tienu pabienli cuonu bebe n baa jagi o yulipo. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Yua n yendi baadi opanpaani ki taagi ti kpaandi ya miali n kan gbeni po, ke yua n buu leni yua n yendi kuli n taani ki mangi bi pala. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)

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 g166)
Yi lingi idiani nni bohanla ki tema ke yi baa ba lienni yaa miali n kan gbeni, ama ki sua idiani yeni tiendi n yaa siedi yo. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Yin da tuuni mani ki baadi ya jiema n baa pendi ka, ama yin ya tuuni mani ki baadi ya jiema n puuni ya miali n kan gbeni, o Joa Bijua n baa payi yaali, kelima Baa tieni opo li maalima. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)

Yi moamoani yi moamoani kani n yedi yi: Yua n daani nni kuli pia yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)

Yua n ŋmani n gbannandi ki go ñuni n soani o pia yaa miali n kan gbeni, n baa fiini o, bi tinkpibi siiga li juodi daali. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)

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 g166)
Simono Pieli den guani ki yedi o: (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
O yonbo n ye yaa diegu nni ka tie wan baa ye naani yogunu kuli, ama yua n tie laa diegu biga baa ye lienni hali yaa yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
N yedi yi moamoani, yi moamoani kani yua n kubi n maama o kan kpe hali abada. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Jufinba den yedi o: Moala wani ti bandi cain ke a pia ki cicibiadiga, Abalahanma kpe, bi sawalipuaba kpe a mo yedi: ke yua n kubi a maama kan kpe hali abada. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Hali tin ye ti daa gbadi ke nilo fidi ki nuadi yua n mali ki tie juamo. (aiōn g165)
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
Yua n daani nni ki fo mo kan kpe hali a bada. A dugi laa maama po bi? (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Yua n bua o miali baa biani li, ama yua n nani o miali handuna nni, o baan le li tanpoli, yaa miali n kan gbeni po. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Ku niligu den guani ki yedi o: Ti gbadi ke Kilisiti baa ye hali yaa yogunu kuli, U Tienu balimaama tili nni, n waani ti la. Be yaapo yo ke fini mo nan yedi: Ke bi baa yugidi o Joa Bijua? ŋme n tie O Joa Bijua? (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
N bani ke o mabilikaama yeni tie yaa miali n kan gbeni. Lanyaapo n teni min maadi yaa maama kuli tie Baa n waani nni, min maadi yaame. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Pieli den yedi o: A kan nigidi n taana hali abada. Jesu den guani ki yedi o: N yaa nigidi a taana, haa go pia tuginma leni nni abada. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
N baa mia Baa wan payi toa yua n baa tie yi todikoa. wan yaa ye leni yi hali yaa yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Kelima adini o li bali ke o die bi nisaaliba kuli, ke wan fidi ki pa han puni o yaaba kuli yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Ki sua ya miali n kan gbeni mo tie ban bandi fini yua bebe n tie U Tienu imoamoani leni han soani yua Jesu Kilisiti. (aiōnios g166)
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 g86)
Kelima fini U Tienu kan ŋa nni bi tinkpiba diema nni. A kan tuo ke a nigagidiŋamo n la mi bedima. (Hadēs g86)
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 g86)
Lani yaa po o den maadi ki tuodi ki waani U Tienu n gandi yua fiima bi tinkpiba siiga maama fuuli. Moamoani U Tienu ki den ŋa o bi tinkpiba diema nni, o gbannandi mo ki bedi. (Hadēs g86)
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 g165)
Wani Jesu ba ye tanpoli ŋali li yogunu n ba ti pundi ke u TIENU baa guani ki ŋanbi li bonkla kuli nani wan den tuodi ki teni ke o sawalipuaba yaaba n gagidi pua sawali ki yedi yaala ŋali yogu. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Polo leni Banabasa den paagi bi pala ki yedi ba: Li den tie tiladi ke U Tienu maama n kpa pundi yinba ya kani, ama kelima yi yie yi ga ma, yi nua ke yii pundi ki baa ya miali n kan gbeni. Lani yaapo ti ba lebidi ki gedi bi nilanba po. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Bi nilanba n den gbadi mi naa maama, bi pala den mangi ke bi pagi o Diedo maama. U Tienu den n gandi yaaba ke ban ba ya miali n kan gbeni kuli den tuo ki daani. (aiōnios g166)
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
O Diedo, yua n tiendi wan jagi yaala, ŋali yogu yeni n yedi yeni. (aiōn g165)
[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 g126)
U TIENU gagidiŋanma ban ki nua yaama leni u paaciamu yu n ki pia gbenma leni wan tie maama kuli doagidi ke bi nua la ŋali ŋanduna tagima yogunu, li ya tie ke ti kpiagidi O o tuona nni. (aïdios g126)
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 g165)

[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 g166)
Yaa miali n kan gbeni ye yaaba n tiendi yaala n ŋani kaa cedi, ki lingi U TIENU kani ti kpiagidi leni ti jigidi. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Lanwani, nani ti tuonbiadi n den die bi niba ki teni ke bi ku maama, li go tie yeni, uTIENU ŋanbili mo die bi niba kelima wani uTIENU puni ba li moamoansaali, ki caani ba ya miali n kan gbeni po kelima ti Diedo JESU KILISITI yaa po. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ama moala ke yi faabi leni ti tuonbiadi yonbidi ki tua u TIENU yonbi, yi bonluonkaala tie mi gagidiŋanma, yaala n tie mi juodima po mo ya miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Kelima ti tuonbiadi panpaani tie mi kuuma; ama u TIENU ŋanbili paabu tie ya miali n kan gbeni ti Diedo JESU Kilisiti nni (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Li tie ti yaajanba puoli ŋuani, KILISITI moko den mali bi ya buolun nne ti gbanandi po, wani yua n die li bonla kuli; U TIENU n baa li ŋali ya yogunu kuli. AMINA! (aiōn g165)
“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 g12)
ŋan da go yedi mo: ŋmee n baa jiidi ki gedi u kulu nni? lani n tie ki ban teni KILISITI n ña likani ki fii bi tinkpiba siiga. (Abyssos g12)
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 g1653)
Kelima U TIENU luoni bi nisaaliba kuli bi yiema nni ki baa yuandi ki gbadi bikuli po mi niñima. (eleēsē g1653)
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 g165)
Li bonla kuli ñani O yaa kani, wani n kubi likuli, likuli mo ye O yaa po. WANI n yaa baadi ti kpiagidi ŋali ya yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Da taa mani leni ŋanduna ne niinni yaaba, ama yi yantiana pandima n teni yin lebidi ki gagidi ki bandi U TIENU yanbuama lani n tie yaala n ŋani, ki mani O po ki dagidi cain. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)

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 g166)

[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 g165)
U TIENU bebe n die mi yanfuoma ti kpiagidi Jesu Kilisiti nni ya yogunu ki tuu ya yogunu kuli. AMINA! (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Lanwani o yanfodaano ye le? Li balimaama bangika go ye le? U naa yogunu nianiado go ye le? Naani U Tienu ki doagidi ke handuna yanfuoma kuli tie mi yanluoma ka? (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Baa yeni, ti wangi ya maama n tie yanfomaama yaaba kpeligi ki dagidi li dandanli po ya siiga. Laa yanfuoma naa tie o naa jamaano yaama ka, laa tie handuna bali danba yaaba n ye mi bodima sanu nni yanfuoma mo ka. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Ti wangi U Tienu ya yanfuoma maame, yaama n doagidi ki wuo bi nisaaliba po, U Tienu n den tuodi ki bili yaama ke man ya tie tipo ti kpiagidi. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Handuna bali danba siiga oba kuli naa den bani laa yanfuoma. Bi ya den bandi ma, bi kan den kpaa ti kpiagidiciandi Diedo li dapoanpoanli po. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Oba kuli n da boandi o yuli. Yi siiga oba ya tama ke o tie yanfodaano nani handuna n nua maama wan tua yanluodaano ke wan baa ki tua o yanfodaano (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Lanwani jiemaba ya baa guli n kpiilo, n kan go je laa jiema hali abada, ke min da guli kpiilo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Laa bonla kuli den baa bipo ki baa tie bi niba kuli po li bonbangikaala. U Tienu den teni ke likuli diani ki baa tie tipo i dundi, tinba yaaba n ye handuna juodima dana siiga. (aiōn g165)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
Mi kuuma, a paani be? Mi kuuma, a bonjunkaala go ye le? (Hadēs g86)
[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 g165)
A pajuaga danba po kelima tin ye yaa jamaano ne tienu juani bi yantiana kaa bua ban le Kilisiti yua n tie U tienu nannanli yaa labaali ŋamo kpiagidi n ŋani ki ñuliti maama. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Kelima moala n po tin laadi yaa fala jenjenmu, ki tie pu, ti yaa biiga leni wan bogin ti po yaa kpiagidi. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ti nuni naa ma bi niba n nua yaali yaa po ka, ama yaala ke baa nua; kelima bi niba n nua yaala tie bonpendi kaala ama ban kan fidi ki le yaala lani n tie yaala n kan pendi fabada. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ti bani ki tingi n po tin ye yaa gbanandi yaa niini yaadi n tie nani li gbandieli yeni yaa bodi, ti pia tanpoli po yaa dieli ke U tienu wani o yaaba n tagi yaali. yaa dieli n baa ye u yogunu kuli, o nisaalo n ki tagi yaali. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Nani lan diani maama: «O den tieni mi ŋanma, o den todi a luoda, O teginma ye hali o yogunu kuli». (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
U tienu yua n tie O Diedo Jesu Ba, wan yua n pia ti pagidi hali yaa yogunu n kaa pia gbenma, bani ke mii pua faama. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Wani Jesu Kilisiti den puni o yuli ti tuonbiadi po, nani ti Baa U Tienu n den bua maama, ki faabi ti leni handuna na leni o biadima. (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Wani n yaa baadi ti kpiagidi nifiima n tu nifiima. Ama. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Yua n buli o gbannandi bonbuakaala po, baa yendi o gbannandi bonbuakaala po mi bodima. Yua n buli U Tienu Fuoma n bua yaala, baa yendi U Tienu Fuoma po yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Wani kilisiti ka lankani ki die mi diema danba leni li bali danba, bi paatieba leni bi diediba kuli, o yeli cie a yela kuli ya yogunu n tie na leni ya yogunu n ba ti cua kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
laayogunu yi den ŋua ŋanduna yema sanbiadu, leni mi fawaama nni paaciamu bado, yua yaa yantiali n tuuni yaaba n yiedi U Tienu pala nni. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
O den tieni lankuli ki baa doagidi o ŋanbili n yaba kaa pia bianu maama ŋali yaa yogunu n baa cua, kelima o ŋanma tipo Jesu kiliti nni. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
ki go teni ke n doagi la bi niba kuli po laa bondoaginkaala n ba tie maama U TIENU yua n tagi li bonla kuli, wuoni li bondoaginkaala yeni ŋali ya yogini n kpela, (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
U TIENU n den jagi ke oba tieni yaala ŋali yogunu ke o tienla ki dudi kelima ti diodo Jesu kilisiti yaa po. (aiōn g165)
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
Wan ya baadi ti kpiagidi kilisiti n yini yaaba siiga leni Jesu kilisiti yaapo ŋali nifiima ki tuu nifiima ŋali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Kelima tii koani leni ti gbannandi leni mi soama ka, ama ti koani leni li bali danba, bi tie cicibiada ki tie li biigili tuonsoanba ki ye mi fawaama nni. (aiōn g165)
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
limani kpiagidi n tie maama Jesu Kilisiti nni. U Tienu ti Baa n ya pia ti kpiagidi nifiima n tu nifiima. Amina. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
Hali yogunu ya jamaano n pendi kuli po, ki doagidi moala O nigagidihanba po. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Bi buudi baa tie yaa bolinma n kaa pia gbenma. Bi ba paadi cain leni o Diedo nunga leni o kpiagidi paalu, (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti wani oba, leni ti Baa U Tienu yua n den bua ti, ki puni ti kelima o ŋanbili po yaa baagi n ki pia mi gbenma leni yaa suginma n ŋani, (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Ama o den gbadi npo mi niŋima line yaapo: Jesu kilisiti cili ki doagidi o juuli mini yaa kani, ke min tua li bontogidikaala yaaba n baa daani o ki ba yaa miali n kan gbeni kuli po. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
U Tienu yua n tie o badiciamo ŋali yaa yogunu kuli kaa pia kuuma, tin ki nua yua, wani yua bebe n tie U Tienu n yaa baadi ti jigidi leni ti kpiagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Han koani li dandanli koanŋanli, ki cuo ya miali n kangbeni, U Tienu n den yini a yaala yaapo ŋan go den tieni yaala ya seediŋamo bi niba boncianla nintuali. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Wani yua n ki pia kuuma, ki ye ya yenma n gagidi nni, oba kuli nki la yua ki kan fidi ki le o mo, wani yua n die ti kpiagidi leni u paalu ŋali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Han tundi ya nifiima n tie na piada ke ban da tua japaadanba. Ki da kuani bi suginma bi piama nni, ama ban kuani ma U Tienu yaa niinni, wani yua n puuni ti li bonla kuli ŋali ke li kandi ke tin ya pia li pamanli. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
Leni utienu paalu yu n den faabiti, ki go yinti ya yiinu ngagidi, ki laa tie ti tuonŋama po ka. ama o yan buama leni O ŋanbili po yo. yaali ke ti den ba Jesu kilisiti niini hali ke ŋanduna daa tagi. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
lani yaa po yo, ke n tuo likuli, kelima Utienu n gandi yaaba ya po. ke bani moko, n baa ya faabima n ye Jsu kilisti, leni ya kpiagidi n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
kelima Demasa den ŋa nni kelima obua yaa yogunu n tie ne ya bonla po ki gedi Tesalonika. Gilesa fii ki gedi Galati, Tita fii ki gedi Delimati diema. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
Wani o diedo go baa ga nni leni bonbiadila kuli po, ki faabi nni ki kuani nni o diema tanpoli po. Wani n ya baadi ti kpiagidi ŋali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
lankuli tie ya miali kan gbeni yaa sugima tanpuuli. Utienu yua kan pua faama n den bili ya ŋoanianu hali mi ciilima. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
ki bangi ke tin yie yaala nkaa tiegi leni li handunli bon bua kabiadila, yaa yogunu ntiena nni leni mi yanfuoma, mi teginma leni utienu fangili, (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Lan ba gaa maama tin ba li moamoansaali kelima li dandanli po, ki tua bi faajieba ki go ba yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Daalinba o den paadi leni a u yogunu waamu ke han goa ki ga o wan ya ye leni a hali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Moala a dan juodi kaana nni O maadi len ti O bijua ñoabu nni. O den bili ke wan diedi li bonli kuli; leni wane ke, O go tagi li ŋandunli. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Ama O bijua po, O den yedi: Fini Utienu, A bali kalikaanu baa ye hali o yogunu kuli. A badigbianu mo tie mi teginma gbianu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Nani wan go yedi kaanu ba maama: A tie kobadicianbado hali ya yogunu kuli nani Melekisedeki yeni. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Wan den teni ke o ŋani ki dagidi cain li bonli kuli yeni, lan yaapo O den cuani yaaba tuo O kuli po ya tindima n kaa pia gbenma. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Leni li dandanli U tienu po, leni mi batisima bangima, leni ki maani i nii ki jandi, leni ki jandi ki fiini a tinkpila, leni yaa buudi n ba yuandi ki cua. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Ki leeni ki la Utienu maama n mani maama, ki go bandi yaa diema n kpendi yaa paalu; (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Jesu n den kpa galiiga ki kua naani ti po. O tua yaa kopadicianbado n baa ye hali yaa yogunukuli nani Melekisedeki yeni. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
Kelima bi den kpa teni O po yaa siedo n tene: A tie kopadiciamo o yogunu kukuli nani Melekisedeki yeni. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
kelima yua n yedi o yaapo; O yedi: O Diedo den poli, O kan lebidi O maama. O yedi: A baa tie kopaciamo o yogunu kukuli nani Melekisedeki yeni. (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Ama Jesu wan yua n ye ki fo hali yaa yogunu n kan gbeni yaapo, teni ke O kubi yaa kopadiciantuonli n ye o yogunu kukuli. (aiōn g165)
[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 g165)
yaa balimaama n den dindi bi nisaaliba yaa kopacianba den pia ku tadingu kelima bi tie nisaaliba. ama li poli yaa maama yaama n den yuandi ki cua li balimaama puoli, den teni ke bijua tua kopadicianbado wan yua n dagidi ki ŋani cain hali yaa yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
[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 g166)
waa den kua leni a pudibuana leni a naabila yaa soama ka, ama leni wani O yaa soacele ki den daa ki faabiti o yogunu kuli po. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Kilisiti yaa soama n baa ŋuudi ki cie, wan yua, leni U tienu fuoma yua yua n ye o yogunu teni ke o den puni o yuli cain U tienu nani yaa padili n kaa pia joagindi ba kuli baa ŋuudi ti pala siedo leni a tuonkpiema ke yin fidi ki soani U tienu yua n fo yaa po. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g166)
Lan yaa po n teni ke O tie o ŋantaadi paano yaa candanbaalo. nani wan den kpe ki daa bi niba leni yaa tuonbiadi ke bi den tieni o ŋantaadikpelo yaa yogunu. lan tie U tienu n yini yaaba kuli baa ba wan den nianba yaa faali n ki pia gbenma yeni. (aiōnios g166)
[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 g165)
Li yaa tie yen ka, li den baa tua tiladi wan cili ki laadi fala yogunu boncianla hali ŋanduna cili yogunu; ki sua moala mi juodima yogunu, O cua ki puni O yuli yenma nani li padili yeni o yogunu kuli po, ki bolini ti tuonbiadi. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke ti bandi ke ŋanduna den tagi leni U tienu maama. ki teni ke tin nua yaala moala ñani tin ki nua yaala yaa niini. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
Jesu Kilisiti o tie yendo wonla, dinla, leni yaa yogunu n kan gbeni. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Mi yanduanma Tienu yua n den fini ti Diedo Jesu O yankpaŋamo bi tinkpiba siiga kelima O soama yaami n kuani yaa ŋantaado n baa ye o yogunu kuli po, N teni yin fidi ki yaa tuuni a tuonŋama ki go tiendi o (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
yanbuama. Wan yaa tiendi i yemi nni yaali n dagidi o po kelima Jesu Kilisiti po wan yua n die ti kpiagidi yaa yogunu n tu u yu! Amina! (aiōn g165)
[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 g1067)
Diidi mani mi fantama waamu baa fidi ki bolini ya fuali n yaba. Bu lanbu mo tie nani mi fantama yeni, ki go tie ya bonbiadila n ye ti gbannandi siiga, ki joagindi ti gbannandi kuli. Ku fantanbuogu fantama ye bu niinni, ki teni ke bu cuondi mi fantama o nisaalo miali yema kuli nni. (Geenna g1067)
[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 g165)
Lani yaapo yi pia li miapanli. Yii piali ke li hua leni yaa bonbuoli nbaa bedi ka. Ama leni yaala n kan bedi. Lani n tie U Tienu maama yaama nfo ki baa ye hali yaa yogunu kuli po. (aiōn g165)
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
Ama o Diedo maama baa ye hali yaa yogunu kuli. Laa maama n tie ban den wangi yi yaa laa baalihamo. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
O nilo yaa maadi lan yaa tie ke o wangi U Tienu maama, nilo ya soani tuonli lan yaa tie leni U Tienu yaa fidu, ke U Tienu n baa ti kpiagidi kelima Jesu Kilisiti yaapo, kelima wani n die ti kpiagidi leni upaciamu nifiima n tu nifiima «Amina» (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
U Tienu yua n tie li hanbili kuli daano, ki yini yi Jesu Kilisiti nni, ke yin taani leni o, o kpiagidi yaadi n kan gbeni nni, yi fala waamu pendima puoli. o baa payi ufidu yin yaa se ke li pa, ke li ba kuli kan fidi ki lengidi yi. (aiōnios g166)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Wani n yaa die upaciamu hali nifiima n tu nifiima kuli. Amina (aiōn g165)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
Leni yeni yo yi ba baa u TIENU n luodi ki yaani yipo yi DIEDO leni ti candaano JESU KILISITI yaama n kan pendi ŋali abda ya niinni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g5020)
Kelima u TIENU naa den cedi ya malekinba n tieni ti tuonbiadi, ama o den luni ba li biigili ya fanma nni ban kubi ba naani kani hali ti buudi daali. (Tartaroō g5020)
[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 g165)
Ama yin ya suagi liiga leni ti DIEDO leni ti candaano JESU KILISITI ya sanbili nni leni o ya bandima nni ki pugidi. Wani n ya baadi ti kpigidi moala leni ŋali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
kelima li miali yeni doagidi, ke ti la li, ke ti tiendi siedi, ki wangi yi ya miali n kan gbeni, yaali n den yé baa kani, ke o doagidi li ti po. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
ŋanduna leni o bonbuakaala moko ba pendi, ama yua n tiendi Utienu yanbuama ba ya ye hali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
wan niani tipo ya ñoanianu, tie ya miali kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
yua n nani o kpiilo kuli tie nikpalo, yi bani ke nikpalo ba mo kuli ki pia ya miali kan gbeni o niinni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
laa siedo mo nne: li tie ke Utienu puni ti, ya miali n kan gbeni, ke la miali mo ye o bijua ya niinni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
n diani yi po laa bonla kuli, ke yinba yaaba n daani Utienu bijua yeli nni n ya bani ke yi pia ya miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
ti go bani ke Utienu Bijua mo cua, ki puni ti mi yanfuoma, ke tin bandi yua n tie o moamoandaano, ke ti ye o moamoadaano, o Bijua Jesu Kilisiti yaa ninni. wani n tie imoamoani Tienu leni yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
Ti bua yi, kelima imoamoani ye ti niini. i go baa yaa ye ti niini o yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g126, questioned)
Ya malekinba n naa den kubi ban pia ya bali, ki ha bi yekaanu, U Tienu den cuo ba ya cuonu n baa ye hali ya yogunu kuli, ki kubi ba li biigili nni hali li bujiali cuonu dacianli n cua. (aïdios g126)
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 g166, questioned)
Li go tie yeni Sodoma leni Gomola leni bi tinkundogi yaaba po, yaaba n den tieni nani laa malekinba, ki puni bi yula ki tiendi mi conconma leni ti cagindi bouli kuli po. Baa moala bi laadi ya fantama n kan gbindi ya buudi fala, ki tie bi niba kuli po li bondiikaala ki tuodi ki tundi ba. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165, questioned)
Bi doagidi bi tuona ya n pia i fe nani mi ñinciama ñinguona n lengidi ki lu ti ñinpunpuudi li boanjali po yeni. Bi go tie nani ya hmabila n yaadi yeni. U Tienu bili bipo ke bi kaanu baa ye li biigicianli nni hali ya yogunu kuli po. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
Yin ya kubi mani yi yula U Tienu buama nni, ki gu ti Diedo Jesu Kilisiti n pa yi ya miali n kan gbeni kelima o niñingbadima po. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Wani U Tienu bebe yua n tie ti Candaano, kelima Jesu Kilisiti yua n tie ti Diedo po, n ya baadi ti kpiagidi, ti jigidi, u paaciamu leni li bali, ya yogunu n pendi, moala leni ya yogunu kuli! Amina! (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
ki go teni ke ti tua kopadicianba diema o Baa U Tienu po, wani n yaa die ti kpiagidi leni u paaciamu hali ya yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
Ya yogunu ke a bonfuodi naada yeni kpiagidi, ki jigindi, ki go tuondi, yua n kaa li balikalikaanu po, wani yua n fo, ki ye hali ya yogunu ki tu u yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Bi piliee n nikpenaadiba yeni mo yen gbaani yua ka libalikalikaanu po nintuali. Bi yen kpiagidi wani yua n fo ki ye hali ya yogunu kuli, ki yiliti bi wula badifogilimu ki lu li balikalikaanu nintuali ki tua: (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
Lani n go den gbadi ke mi tagima kuli, yama n ye tanpoli po, leni ki tinga po, leni ki tinga tiipo, leni mi ñinciamma nni kuli leni yaala ye lieni kuli tua: Wani yua n ka li balikalikaanu po leni ki pebiga, n ya baadi ti pagidi leni jigidi, ti kpiagidi leni u paaciamu ya yogunu ki tu ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g86)
N den diidi ki go laa ya taamo n tie suudi ke o ñani. Yua n den jagi o po, yeli yi mi kuuma, ke bitinkpiba diema mo ciangi o. Bi den puni baa u paalu ki tinga kaan naadi kuli siiga kanyendu, ke ban kpa likani yaaba leni ki jugisiega leni mi koncianma, leni mi kucian ludikaama, leni ki tinga fuoyanbiaditi. (Hadēs g86)
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 g165)
Ki tua: Amina! Ti tienu n die ti pagidi leni ti kpiagidi, mi yanfuoma, leni i tuondi, ti jigidi, u paaciamu leni u fidu hali ya yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōn g165)
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 g12)
O maleki muulo den piebi o kakaci. N den laa ke li ŋmabili ñani tanpoli ki baa ki tinga po. Bi den teni li acicila n lo yaa cañuangu nni kile. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
Li ŋmabili yeni den luodi ku cañuangu yeni ke i fantanñii ñani lienni nani ya buaga n yaba ya fantanñii yeni. U yienu leni mi fawaama kuli den biigi kelima yaa fantanñii ñani ku caciangu yeni niinni ya po. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
I bado den tie ku buoñuangu maleki, ebilu maama nni bi yi o Abadona, gileki maama nni mo bi yi o Apoliyo, lani n tie yua n bolindi. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165)
Ki poli yua n ye hali ya yogunu kuli, yeli nni, wani yua tagi tanpoli leni yaala n ye lienni kuli ki tinga leni yaala n ye lienni kuli, leni mi ñincianma leni yaala n ye mi niinni kuli ki yedi: Yogunu kan go ya ye. (aiōn g165)
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 g12)
Bi ya tieni bi siedi ki gbeni ya yogunu, ki fuayanga yua n ba ña ku buoñuaangu n yeni nni baa tieni bu toabu leni baa ki paadi baa, ki go kpa baa. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165)
O maleki leleelo den piebi kakaki, i nialicianmi den kpaani tanpoli po ki yedi. ŋanduna diema gua tua ti Diedo leni wan gandi Yua yaama; O baa die hali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g166)
N go den laa malekitoa ke o yugi tanpoli mi fawama nni, ki kubi yaa labaaliŋamo n ye hali yaa yogunu kuli ki baa waani ki tinga yaaba kuli, mi diema, i nibuoli, leni i mabuoli yaaba kuli. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Bi falaciamo fantañii baa do hali ya yogunu kuli, bi kan baa fuodima yensiinu leni ñiagu kuli, bani yaaba kuli n gbaani ki kpiagi ki fuyanga leni ki nannanli ki go ga o yeli maalima. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
A bonfuodi naada siiga nni yendo den teni bi maleki - leleediba yeni wula tadibuomu lele, ke mu gbie leni U Tienu yua n ye hali ya yogunu kuli pabienli cuonu. (aiōn g165)
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 g12)
ŋan laa ya fuayanga yeni den kpa ye, waa go ye moala o baa do ki ña ku buoñuangu nni, ki gedi mi bodima nni. lani ki tinga yaaba siiga, yaaba ya yela n ka den diani li miali tili nni hali ŋanduna tagima yogunu, bi ya laa ki fuayanga, yua n den kpa ye, kaa go ye moala, ke o go goani ki ye, li baa lidini baa. (Abyssos g12)
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Bi go den kpaani yedi ki yedi: alleluya! u fantañii baa do hali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
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 g3041 g4442)
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 g12)
Li yaa puoli n den laa maleki ke o ñani tanpoli ki ji, ki pia ku buoñuangu kile, ki go muubi i kuseseli cianmi o nuu nni. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
O den luni o ku buoñuangu yeni nni ki luoni ku ñoabu ki go tabini mi maalima ke wan da go boandi i nibuoli hali bina tudili yeni n baa pendi. Lani ya pendi, tiladi bi go baa lodi o u yogunu waamu po. (Abyssos g12)
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 g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
[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 g86)
Mi ñincianma den guani ya tinkpila den ye mi ninni, mi kuuma leni bi tinkpiba yekaanu moko den guani ya tinkpila den ye bi ninni. ke bi jia yua kuli buudi nani bi bontienkaala n den tie maama. (Hadēs g86)
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 g3041 g4442)
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 g165)
Ñiagu kan go ya ti ye; bi kan go ya ti bua fidisanga bi yenyenma mo, kelima o Diedo U UTienu ba ti ya yendi bi po. lani bi ba ti ya die hali ya yogunu kuli. (aiōn g165)
Questioned verse translations do not contain Aionian Glossary words, but may wrongly imply eternal or Hell
My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
If you go into houses of women who are like that, you will die [when you are still young]; the road [to their houses] leads to hell. (questioned)
They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
“As for me, I [am not very important, because] I baptize you [only] with water. I [baptize you] because of your feeling sorry that you have sinned. But someone else will come soon who is very great; [he will do powerful deeds] (OR, [act powerfully]). [Because he is] superior to me, I am not worthy [even to do a menial task for him, such as] to carry his sandals. He will put [his] Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change] the way you live [MET], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [in hell]. (questioned)
“[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
[And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
“You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell! [I] did great miracles in your [cities, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in [the ancient cities of] Tyre and Sidon, the [wicked people who lived there] long ago would have sat in ashes, wearing coarse cloth [to show that they were sorry for their sins]. (questioned)
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” (questioned)
John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
But Peter said to him, “May you [(sg)] and your money go to hell, because you [mistakenly] think that you can buy [from us] what God [alone] gives to [people] (questioned)
If [the things that we have taught] are not valuable and long-lasting [MET], [we will not get a reward]. We will be saved {[God] will save us} [from hell], but [that is all that we will get. We will be like a man who] escapes from a fire [without saving any of his possessions]. (questioned)
And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
To those who [are on the way to hell, our message is like] [MET] a foul smell [because it is about dying] and being separated from God forever. But, to those [on the way to heaven, the message that we teach is like] a pure fragrant smell, [because we tell them] that they will live [forever with God.
