Mundu alongele ubocho kwaa mwene, kati yeyote nkati mwinu anadhani abile ni hekima mu'nyakati zino, ube kati “mlalo” nga apalikwa kuwa na hekima. (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.

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)

[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)
Katika uchaguzi wabe, nongo wa ulimwengu woo atiwapofusha malango gabe ziamiya kwaa. Matokeo gake, bweza kwaa, kubona bweya ya injili ya utukufu wa Kristo, ywabile ni mpwano wa Nnongo. (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)
Kwa kipindi chee kifupi, mateso aga mepesi yalowa kutuandaa twenga kwa ajili ya umilele nzito wa utukufu wanyansima zaidi ya ipimo yote. (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)

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)

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)

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)

You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN].

Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them].

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].

[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.

Babile katika haminia ukoto wa milele wa Nungu juwa wechali baya ubuchu hatiaidi milele. (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)
Itupundisa kana-makowe gangali ki'Nnungu na taman'iya kulunia. Itupundisa tama kwa lunda na haki na katika ndela Nnungu mula wono. (aiōn g165)

Apangitenya lenga mana tubalangilwe haki kwa Neema tube na ukakape woba twamope mumaisha ga milele. (aiōnios g166)

Natendika kitumbu likowe linoguu lipangike kwakuwa muli, ila kati mwaupande wa mwane. Kitumbu sabukakasako sai kwalioba paumapa na wa maisa gote. (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)
Eye siku tubinayo Nnongo alongei ni twee kupetya mwana, aamei mrithi wa ilebe yoti, iyeya kupetya ywembe aumbile ulimwengu. (aiōn g165)

Kwa mwana ukoya, “Kiti sako sa enzi, Nnongo, sa mileli ni milele hukongosoluwa mpwalume wako ni lukongoso lwa haki. (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)
Kati ya akoya sehemu yenge, “Wenga wakuhani milele baada ya mfumo wa Melkizedeki.” (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)
Atekamilishwa kwa ndela yeno atei kwa kila mundu ywa amwaminiye kuba mwalo wa okovu. (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)
wala misingi ya mayegeyo ya ubatizo, ni kuabekya maboko, kuyoka kwa bawile, ni hukumu ya milele. (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)
ni ambao batepaya kunoga liyaulyo lya Nnongo ni kwa ngupu za wakati uisa. (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)
Yesu ayingii sehemu ya kati nlongoli witu, mana ayomwike kufanyika kuhani nkolo hata milele baada ya utaratibu wa Melkizedeki. (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)
Kwa eyo maandiko yatishuhudia kuhusu ywembe: “Ywembe nga kuhani milele boka ku'mfumo wa Melkizedeki.” (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)
Lakini Nnongo akichukii kilapo palyo abayite husu Yesu, “Ngwana alapile ni kana abadili malango gake.'wenga wa kuhani milele.” (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Lakini kwa mana Yesu atama milele, ukuhani wake ubadilika kwaa. (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)
Kwa saliya huchawa bandu babile adhaifu kuba nga makuhani, akolo, lakini neno lya kiapo, lalibile baada ya saliya, ywachaulilwe Mwana, ywapangilwe kuba nga mkamilifu milele. (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)
Yabile kwaa ga mwai ya mbuzi ni ndama, ila kwa mwai yake mwene kuwa Kristo ajingii pandu patakatifu muno mara jimo kwa kila yumo ni kutuhakikishia twenga ukombozi wangayomoka. (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)
Je nga muno kwaa mwai ya Kristo yabile petya Roho wangayomoka ayilekite mwene bila mawaa kwa Nnongo, panga safisha dhamiri yitu kuoma makowe gakiwo kuntumikya Nnongo ywabile nkoti? (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)
Kwa mana eyo, Kristo nga mjumbe wa liagano lyayambe. A yee nga sababu kiwo chaalekite huru bote babile mu'liagano lya kwanza kuoma mu'hatia ya sambi zabe, ili boti balo babakemelwa ni Nnongo baweze pokya ahadi ya urithi wabe wangeyomoka. (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)
Kati eyo yabile kweli, bai yabile lazima kwabe teseka mara ganansima muno tangu mwanzo wa dunia. Lakini mara yimo mpaka mwisho wa miaka yayongolelwa kuboywa sambi kwa dhabihu yake mwene. (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)
Kwa imani twatifahamu kwamba ulimwengu waumbilwe kwa amri ya Nnongo, ili kwamba chelo chatibonekaniya chatitengenezwa kwaa bonekana ni ilebe ambayo yabile yatibonekana. (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)
Nambeambe Nnongo wa amani, ywabile atibaletya kae kuoma kwa bawile mchungaji nkolo ba ngondolo, Ngwana witu Yesu, kwa mwai ya liagano lya milele, (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)
Kabapeya uwezo kwa kila kilebe kinoyite kupanga mapenzi gake, kaapanga kazi nkati yitu yabile inoyite ya kupendeza mu'minyo gake, petya kwa Yesu, kwake ube utukufu milele ni milele. 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)
Lulimi pia nga mwoto, nga nnema wa ubou, ubekilwe nkati ya iungo ya yega witu, yabile najisi yega yote ni kulibeka nnani ya mwoto ndela ya maisha, ni mwene sonywa mwoto wa kuzima. (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)
Mubelekwile mora inebile, sio kwa mbeyu yaiaribike, lakini buka kwa mbegu yange aribikea, pitya ukoti na neno lya Nn”ungu lyalijingile. (aiōn g165)

Kwa njo neno la Bwana igala milele”, wono ni ujumbe ambao watebaakiilwa kati injili kwinu. (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)
Mwana mundu alongei naibe kati kuntonga Nn”ungu na mwana mundu abaya naibe na uwezo kati wa Nn”ungu, ili kwamba kwa kila kibe Nn”ungu apate kutukuzwa pitya Yesu Kristo. Utukufu na uweza wina ywemba milele na milelel 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)

Nga nyoo mwaipatia bingi ba nnango wa jingya katika upwalume wangayomoka wa Ngwana witu na nkochopoli Yesu Kristo. (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)
Maana Nnongo abaleka kwaa malaika balo batikengeuka. Ila abatombwile kuzimu ili batabilwe ni minyororo mpaka hukumu paiisile nnani yabe. (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)
Lakini mukue katika neema na ufahamu wa Ngwana na mkochopoli Yesu Kristo. Nambeambe utukufu ubile ni ywembe nambeambe na milele. Amina. (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)
Na wolo ukoto upangite kutangika wazi, na tuubweni, na kuushuhudia, na kubatangulizia ukoto wa milele, ambao ubile kwa Tate na upangika kuyowanika kwitu. (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)
Dunia na tamaa zake zapeta. Ila ywembe ywapanga mapenzi ga Nnongo yolo atama milele. (aiōn g165)

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)
Lakini tutangite panga Mwana wa Nnongo aisile na atupeya ujuzi, panga tuntangite ywembe ywabile mu kweli na panga tubile nkati yake ywembe ywabile kweli, hata katika mwana wake Yesu Kristo. Ni Nnongo wa kweli na ukoto wa milele. (aiōnios g166)

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)
malaika babakotwikw kwilenndela lenji yabe nakukileka kitamochabe Nnungu abeimutabilwe wangayomoka mulubendo balende ukumu ya lichoba lya mwisho. (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)

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)
Ni mawimbi ya bahari yabii Ni ndoti yene, Ni tondwa zindoranda kunani ambazo upili wa lubendo wabekilwe kwaajili yabe wangayomoka. (aiōn g165)

Mwilendele kwene upendo wa Nnongo, na mulende uruma ya Nngwana witu Yesu Kristo ambayo kumpeya mwomi wange yomoka. (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)
Kayake Nnongo kiyake mwokozi belya Yesu Kristo Nngwana witu, Utukupu ube kayake, uwezo na ngupu kabla ya wekati woti, na sayeno na hata -wanga yomoka. Amina. (aiōn g165)

Kila wakati iumbe bene ukoti pabapiya utukupu, hesima, ni kushukuru nnonge ya abile atitama pakiteo chelo cha enzi ywembe ywaishi milele ni daima. (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)
Apendo ishirini ni ncheche batisujudu bene nnonge yake yakitamile kiteo cha enzi bakibaya. (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)

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)
Ywampandile akemelwa lina lyake mauti, ni kuzimu yabile ilifutike. Bapeyilwe mamlaka kunani ya Roho ya kilambo, bula kwa upanga, kwa njala ni ugonjwa ni kwa anyama wa mwitu katika kilambo. (Hadēs g86)

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)
boka po malaika wa tano atilikombwa litarumbeta lyake, Nabweni ndondwa boka kumaunde yaibile yaitomboka pa kilambo, Ndondwa yapeilwe ufunguo waliembwebwaelekea kwene liyembwa lalibile ntopo mwisho. (Abyssos g12)

Atiyogowa liembwa lalibile ntopo kiemo, nalioi uhoboka kunani kwa safu boka nkati ya liembwa kati lioi liboka katika tanuru likolo. Lumu ni anga vitigalambuka vipangite lubendo kwa sababu ya lioi laliboka muliembwa. (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)
Babile nakwe kati mfalme kunani yabe malaika wa lioi lalibile ntopo mwisho. Lina lyake katika Kiebrania ni Abadani, ni katika kiyunani ana lina Apolioni. (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)

Boka po malaika wa sabaa akombwile litarumbeta lyake, ni lilobe likolo latilongela kumaunde na baya, “ufalme wa kilambo upangite ufalme wa Ngwana witu ni Kristo wake. Apala tawala milele ni milele.” (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)
Namweni malaika ywenge atiuluka nkati ya maunde, ywabile ni ujumbe wa habari inoyite kwatangazia balo batami mulunia kila taifa, kabila, lugha ni kila bandu. (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)
Na lioi lya minya yabe walowa yendya milele ni milele, ni pabile kwaa ni mapunziko mchana ni kilo-abo baabuduo mnyama ni sanamu yake, ni kila mundu ywapokile alama ya lina lyake. (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)
Yumo ywa balo babile ni akoti ncheche kabapeya balo malaika saba mabakuli saba ya dhahabu yabile ni ghadhabu ya Nnongo ywatama milele na milele. (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)
Mnyama ywamweni abile, ni abile kwa leno, lakini tayari kupanda kuoma mu'yembwa lyange yomoka. Boka po kayendelya ni uharibifu. Balo batamii nnani ya nnema, balo babile maina yabe yaandikilwe kwaa mu'kitabu cha ukoti tangu kubekwa misingi ya nnema-batishangala batimwona mnyama ywabile, kuwa yabile kwaa leno, lakini ywabile karibu kuyenda.

Kwa mara yana ibele atibaya, “Haleluya! lioi boka kwake milele ni milele.” (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)
Kisha namweni malaika atiuluka boka kumaunde, abi ni upunguo wa liyembwa lalibile ntopo mwisho ni nyororo ngolo muluboko lwake. (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)
Atikulitaikwa muliyembwa labile ntopo mwisho, atikulitaba ni kulibekia mhuri kunani yake. Yeno yabile nyoo lenga kana bakongetwe mataifa kae mpaka miaka elfu paiyomoka. Baada yapoo, bakumnekekeya huru kwa muda nchunu. (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)
Bahari itikubabaya babawile ambao babile nkati yake. Kiwo ni kuzimu batikubaboya babawile babile nkati yake, ni wafu batihukumiwa lingana na chabakipangite. (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)

“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.

[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].

“You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell!

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].

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)

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. As we think about that, we think] (no one is able [to do] such important work [for God!]/how can anyone be able [to do] such important work [for God]?) [RHQ] (questioned)

Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
