while of the Son he said — ‘God is thy throne for ever and ever; The sceptre of his Kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)
Nomba ku Mwanendi, Lesa walambeti, “Obe Lesa, bwami bwakobe nteti bukapwe! Nukendeleshe bantu bakobe mubululami. (aiōn g165)
and on another occasion also — ‘Thou art a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
Kayi mu Mabala, napambi palembweti, “Nukabengowa Shimilumbo cindi conse mbuli bushimilumbo bwa Melekisedeki.” (aiōn g165)

Balatelelako kwina kwa Maswi a Lesa, kayi ne ngofu nsheti akaboneshe Lesa mu cindi cilesanga. (aiōn g165)
where Jesus, our Forerunner, has entered on our behalf, after being made for all time a High Priest of the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
Uko Yesu nkwalaba mutanshi kwingilako cebo cetu, walaba Shimilumbo Mukulene wa cindi citapu mbuli ncebwalikuba bushimilumbo bwa Melekisedeki. (aiōn g165)
for that is the meaning of the declaration — ‘Thou art for all time a priest of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga Mabala alambangeti, “Nukabe shimilumbo wa muyayaya, mbuli bushimilumbo bwa Melekizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
but his appointment was ratified by an oath, when God said to him — ‘The Lord has sworn, and will not change, “Thou art a priest for all time.”’ (aiōn g165)
Nomba Yesu mpwalaba shimilumbo palaba kulumbila, Lesa walalumbileti, Mwami Lesa walalumbileti, nteti nkashinte muyeyo wakame, “Njobe shimilumbo wa cindi conse.” (aiōn g165)
but Jesus remains for all time, and therefore the priesthood that he holds is never liable to pass to another. (aiōn g165)
Nomba nendi Yesu nimuyumi cindi conse, kayi ncito yakendi yakuba shimilumbo nkaituntulukili ku muntu naumbi. (aiōn g165)
The Law appoints as High Priests men who are liable to infirmity, but the words of God’s oath, which was later than the Law, name the Son as, for all time, the perfect Priest. (aiōn g165)
Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose yalikusuminisha bantu babula kuswepa kuba beshimilumbo bamakulene, nomba cipangano ca Lesa ncalensa kulumbilapo, ico calesa panyuma pa milawo, calabika Mwana walulama kwa muyayaya. (aiōn g165)
Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the Sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance. (aiōnios g166)

how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through his eternal Spirit, offered himself up to God, as a victim without blemish, purify our consciences from a lifeless formality, and fit us for the service of the Living God! (aiōnios g166)
Neco ici pakubeco, inga yalo milopa ya Klistu inga ishika kupeyo! Kupitila mu Mushimu wamuyayaya, neye walalibenga kuba mulumbo welela cakupwililila kuli Lesa. Milopa ya Klistu nikaswepeshe miyeyo yetu kushiya miyambo yakuswepesha yabula nchito, kwambeti tusebensele Lesa muyumi. (aiōnios g166)
And that is why he is the intermediary of a new Covenant; in order that, as a death has taken place to effect a deliverance from the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have received the Call may obtain the eternal inheritance promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
Pacebo ici Klistu elabambanga cipangano ca linolino, neco abo balakwiwa ne Lesa bela kutambula colwe citapu ico ncalalaya, ingacibeco pakwinga pali lufu lwa muntu ulo lwalasungulula bantu kubwipishi mbobalikwinsa kapacili cipangano cakutanguna. (aiōnios g166)
for then Christ would have had to undergo death many times since the creation of the world. But now, once and for all, at the close of the age, he has appeared, in order to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
Necalikubeco, nalikupitowa mu makatasho angi kufumowa kukulengwa kwa cishi capanshi. Nomba lino pakuboneti mapwililisho a cishi ali pepi, nendi walabonekowa kankanda kamo kwisa kufunya bwipishi kupitila mu mulumbo ngwalalibenga mwine. (aiōn g165)
Faith enables us to perceive that the universe was created at the bidding of God — so that we know that what we see was not made out of visible things. (aiōn g165)
Pakuba ne lushomo tukute kwinshibeti Lesa walasebenseshowa maswi pa kulenga kwilu ne cishi capanshi. Kayi tucinsheti bintu bilabonekenga byalabapo kufuma ku bintu bitaboneke. (aiōn g165)

May God, the source of all peace, who brought back from the dead him who, ‘by virtue of the blood that rendered valid the unchangeable Covenant, is the Great Shepherd of God’s Sheep,’ Jesus, our Lord — (aiōnios g166)
Lesa walamupundusha Mwami wetu Yesu, mwembeshi mukulene wa mbelele cebo ca milopa yakendi yalaba lushinisho lwa cipangano camuyayaya. (aiōnios g166)
may God make you perfect in everything that is good, so that you may be able to do his will. May he bring out in us all that is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Neco Lesa wa lumuno amupe bintu byaina mbyomulayandanga pakwinsa luyando lwakendi. Kayi kupitila muli Yesu Klistu tumukondweleshe kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi. Kuli Klistu kube bulemeneno kwa muyayaya. (aiōn g165)
And the tongue is like a spark. Among the members of our body it proves itself a very world of mischief; it contaminates the whole body; it sets the wheels of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by the flames of the Pit. (Geenna g1067)
Neco nalo lulemi lulyeti mulilo. Pakwinga luli mukati mumubili wetu, lukute kumwaya bintu byaipa mumubili wonse. Lukute kwipisha bwikalo bwa muntu. Lukute kutenta buyumi bwetu bonse kufuma mpotwalasemwa mpaka pakufwa, mulilowo ukute kufumina ku Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
since your new Life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the Message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga mulenshi kusemwa tubili, buyumi bwakendi nkabulafumunga mu mbuto ya mushali ukute kufwa sobwe, nsombi mu mbuto itafu, iyo mbuto ni maswi a Lesa, maswi abuyumi eshakabule kupwa. (aiōn g165)

Nsombi maswi a Lesa nakabeko cindi conse.” Uwu e Mulumbe Waina walakambaukwa kulinjamwe. (aiōn g165)
When any one speaks, let him speak as one who is delivering the oracles of God. When any one is endeavouring to serve others, let him do so in reliance on the strength which God supplies; so that in everything God may be honour ed through Jesus Christ — to whom be ascribed all honour and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Uliyense akambaukanga, akambauke maswi a Lesa. Uliyense lasebensenga, asebense mwangofu nshalapewa ne Lesa, kwambeti mubintu byonse, bulemu bupewe kuli Lesa kupitila muli Yesu Klistu. Bulemu ne ngofu nibyakendi cindi conse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
God, from whom all help comes, and who called you, by your union with Christ, into his eternal glory, will, when you have suffered for a little while, himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
Panyuma pa kunyumfwa byeshikubaba kwakacindi kang'ana, Lesa wankumbo shonse, lamukunga kwisakuyabana nendi mubulemu butapu pamo ne Klistu nakamubambe nekumuyuminisha, nekumwikalika mwakutatenkana. (aiōnios g166)
To him be ascribed dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Neye eukute ngofu kwacindi conse. Amen. (aiōn g165)
For thus you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Neco nakamucalwile cishinga cakwingilila mu Bwami butapu bwa Lesa wetu ne mupulushi wetu Yesu Klistu. (aiōnios g166)
Remember, God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them down to Tartarus, and committed them to caverns of darkness, to be kept under guard for judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
Pakwinga Lesa liya kubalekelelapo basa bangelo balepisha, nsombi walabawala mubufuni bwamulilo, umo mobasungwa ncetani mumushinshe, mobalapembelelenga busuba bwalombolosho. (Tartaroō g5020)
and advance in the love and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. All glory be to him now and for ever. (aiōn g165)
Nomba amwe pitilishani kukula mu nkumbo ne lwishibo lwa Mwami ne Mupulushi wetu Yesu Klistu. Kulyendiye kube bulemu pacindi cino mpaka muyayaya. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
That Life was made visible, and we have seen it, and now bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that Immortal Life, which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
Buyumi ubu mpobwalabonekela, twalabubona, weco tulamwinshibishinga ne kumusansulwila sha buyumi butapu bwalikuba ne Bata kayi bwalabonekela kulinjafwe. (aiōnios g166)
And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but he who does God’s will remains for ever. (aiōn g165)
Lino cishi nebintu bili mukati ibyo bantu mbyobakute kukumbwa bilapitinga, nsombi abo balenshinga luyando lwa Lesa nibakekale muyayayaya. (aiōn g165)
And this is what he himself promised us — The Immortal Life! (aiōnios g166)
Neco ncalashomesha kupa nibuyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
Every one who hates his Brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has Immortal Life within him. (aiōnios g166)
Uliyense lapatanga munendi niweshi kushina kayi mucinshi kwambeti kuliyawa shikushina ukute buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
And that testimony is that God gave us Immortal Life, and that this Life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Bukamboni bwakendi nibwakwambeti Lesa walatupa buyumi butapu bukute kucanika mukwikatana ne Mwanendi. (aiōnios g166)
I write this to you, that you may realise that you have found Immortal Life — you who believe in the Name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Ibi ndalembelenga njamwe mwashoma Lina lya Mwanendi Lesa kwambeti mwinshibeti mukute kendi buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
We realise, too, that the Son of God has come among us, and has given us the discernment to know the True God; and we are in union with the True God by our union with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the True God and he is Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
Tucinsheti Mwanendi Lesa wesakendi, kayi watupa mano akumwinshibilamo Lesa wancinencine. Pakwinga kupitila mu kwikatana ne Klistu tukute kuba mu makasa a Lesa, nendi e Lesa ukute kupa buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
We love you for the sake of that Truth which is always in our hearts; yes, and it will be ours for ever. (aiōn g165)
Tumusuni pacebo cakubinga ico cili mulinjafwe, kayi ceti cibenganga mulinjfwe kwa cindi conse. (aiōn g165)
and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the Great Day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios g126)
Kayi kamwanukani bangelo balabula kwikuta ne bwendeleshi bwabo bwelela, balashiya musena Lesa ngwalabapa. Neco Lesa wabasunga ncetani shitapu mu mushinshe mpaka busuba bwalombolosho. (aïdios g126)
Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, the punishment of aeonian fire. (aiōnios g166)
Kayi kamwanukani minshi ibili ya Sodomu ne Gomola yalikuba yabambana. Umo bantu mobali kwinsa bufule ne bintu nabimbi byasafwana bitayandiki ku muntu. Lesa walabapa cisubulo kwambeti cibe cilesho kuli bonse. (aiōnios g166)
they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are ‘wandering stars,’ for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
Balyeti mankape apa lwenje, bakute kupulisha mapofu abintu byabo byasafwana. Balyeti nyenyenshi shilataiki nshila. Neco Lesa wabasungila mu mushinshe wanjobe bani utapu. (aiōn g165)
and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
Ikalani mu lusuno lwa Lesa mpomulapembelelenga Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu uyo eshakamupe buyumi butapu munkumbo shakendi. (aiōnios g166)
to the one God, our Saviour, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and shall be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kuli Lesa mupulushi wetu kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mwami wetu kube bulemu ne bukulene ne ngofu kayi ne bwendeleshi, kufumina cindi cakunyuma, pacino cindi kayi ne kucindi citapu! Ameni. (aiōn g165)
and he made us ‘a Kingdom of Priests in the service of God,’ his Father! — to Him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, Ameni! (aiōn g165)
And, whenever these Creatures give praise and honour and thanks to him who is ‘seated on the throne, to him who lives for ever and ever,’ (aiōn g165)
Bya buyumi ibi bina, bikute kwimbila nyimbo shabulemeneno shakulemekesha kayi ne kulumbanya uyo wekala pa cipuna muyumi kwamuyayaya. (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four Councillors prostrate themselves before him who is seated on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne, saying — (aiōn g165)
Mpobyalikwimbila, bamakulene makumi abili ne bana, balawa panshi pantangu pa uyo wekala pa cipuna ne kumukambilila, uyo ukute buyumi bwamuyayaya. Kabawala ngowani shabo pantangu pa cipuna ca bwami kabambeti, (aiōn g165)
And I heard every created thing in the air, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them crying — ‘To him who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed all blessing, and honour, and praise, and dominion for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
Popelapo ndalanyumfwa byonse byalabumbilwa kwilu ne pa cishi ca panshi ne bya panshi pene pene, bya mu lwenje, byonse bikute buyumi kabimbileti, “Kuli uyo wekala pa cipuna ne Mwana Mbelele bashikaishiwe, balemekeshewe, bapewe bulemeneno ne ngofu kwamuyayaya.” (aiōn g165)
And in my vision I saw a grey horse. His rider’s name was Death, and the Lord of the Place of Death rode behind him; and power was given them over the fourth part of the earth, so that they might ‘destroy with sword and famine and death, and by means of the wild beasts of the earth.’ (Hadēs g86)
Ndalabona lihaki lyacisefu lyakoka. Watantapo walikukwiweti, Lufu, naco cishi ca bantu bafwa calikonka pepi. Walapewa ngofu shakushina cibela cimo ca bibela bina ca bantu ne banyama ku nkondo, kunsala kayi ne ku malwashi ne kubanyama. (Hadēs g86)
saying — ‘Amen. Blessing and praise, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.’ (aiōn g165)
“Ameni! Kushikaishiwa, ne bulemeneno ne mano ne kulumbaisha ne kulemekesha ne bwendeleshi kayi ne ngofu bibe kuli Lesa wetu kwa muyayaya! Ameni!” (aiōn g165)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a Star that had fallen upon the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
Neye mungelo wa cisanu walalilisha tolompita yakendi. Ndalabona lunyenyenshi lwalesa kuwila panshi, kayi lwalapewa cakucalwisha ku cisengu citali. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
Lunyenyenshi lusa mpolwalacalula ku cisengu, mwalapula bwishi bulyeti bwishi bwa bufuni bunene, lisuba ne mwilu byonse byalashipa cebo ca bwishi bwalafuma mu cisengu. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the Angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
Bikute mwami ukute kubyendelesha, uyu emungelo ukute ngofu pa cisengu citali. Mu Cihebeli lina lyakendi ni Abadoni, mu Cigiliki lina lyakendi ni Apolyoni. Lilapandululungeti, “Shikushina.” (Abyssos g12)
and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,’ that time should cease to be. (aiōn g165)
ne kulumbila pa Lina lya Lesa wamuyayaya, uyo walalenga kwilu ne cishi ca panshi ne lwenje kayi ne byonse bilimo. Mungeloyo walambeti, “Nteti pakapite cindi citali sobwe! (aiōn g165)
As soon as they have completed their testimony, ‘the wild Beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer’ and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Bakapwisha kukambauka mulumbe bakamboni babili, cinyama ico cilapulunga mu cisengu citali ne kwisa kulwana nabo. Nicikabakome ne kubashina, (Abyssos g12)
Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices were heard in Heaven saying — ‘The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
Mungelo wa cisanu ne cibili mpwalalilisha tolompita yakendi, kwilu kwalanyumfwika maswi akompolola alikwambeti, “Lino ngofu shakwendelesha cishi capanshi shilapewa mu makasa a Mwami wetu ne Klistu Wananikwa wakendi, endiyeti endeleshenga kwa muyayaya!” (aiōn g165)
Then I saw another angel, flying in mid-heaven. He had the Good News, decreed from eternity, to announce to those who dwell on the earth — to men of every nation, and tribe, and language, and people; (aiōnios g166)
Kufumapo ndalabona naumbi mungelo walikuluka mwilu kakute Mulumbe Waina utapu wakukambaukila bantu pa cishi capanshi ba nkanda shapusana shonse ne mishobo yonse ne milaka yonse kayi ne bishi byonse. (aiōnios g166)
The smoke from their torture rises for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night — those who worship the Beast and its image, and all who are branded with its name.’ (aiōn g165)
Kayi bwishi bwa kupenshewa kwabo nibukasukumenga kwamuyayaya. Abo balakambililinga cinyama ne mukoshano waco, kayi uliyense walatambulako cishibisho ca lina lyaco nteti akapumwine munshi ne mashiku.” (aiōn g165)
One of the four Creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls, filled with the Wrath of God who lives for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Cimo ca bya buyumi bina calapa bangelo basanu ne babili ndilo shafongomana shisanu ne shibili shesula bukalu bwa Lesa muyumi kwa muyayaya. (aiōn g165)
The Beast that you saw was, but is not, and is about to rise out of the bottomless pit, and is on its way to destruction. Those who are living on earth will be amazed — those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world — when they see that the Beast was, but is not, and yet will come.’ (Abyssos g12)
Cinyama ncolabono calikubako, kayi cilashimangana, cilipepi kupula mucisengu, nomba nicikenga kuya kufwa. Lino bantu bekala pa cishi capanshi, babula kulembwa maina abo mu libuku lya bayumi kacitana cilengwa cishi, bakaboneti cinyama calikubako, calashimangana, kayeti cilesa, nibakakankamane. (Abyssos g12)
Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Kayi likoto linene lisa lyalompololeti, “Lesa ashikaishiwe! Bwishi bwa mulilo ulatente munshi unene ulasukumunga kwa muyayaya!” (aiōn g165)
The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Balacikata cinyama pamo ne mushinshimi mubepeshi walikwinsa byeshikukankamanisha. Mbyecalikwinsa ebyalikubepa bantu balikukambilila cikoshano ca cinyama kabakute cishibisho caco. Bonse babili cinyama ne mushinshimi mubepeshi, balawalwa mu lwenje lwa mulilo ulabangilinga ne sulufule. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Kayi ndalabona mungelo kaseluka kwilu kakute cakucalwisha kucisengu citali kayi ne ncetani yalema mu makasa. (Abyssos g12)
He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal upon it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a while. (Abyssos g12)
Mungelo usa walamuwala Satana mu cisengu citali walacalapo kayi ne kubikapo cidindo cilambangeti nteti akayungaulepo mishobo ya bantu mpaka pakapite byaka cina cimo. Panyuma pakendi nakasungululwe kwa kacindi kang'ana. (Abyssos g12)
The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)
Neco lwenje lwalapulisha balafwilamo, nalo lufu ne cishi cabafu byalapulisha abo balikubamo. Bonse balomboloshewa kwelana ne micito njobalikwinsa. (Hadēs g86)
Night will cease to be. They have no need of the light of a lamp, nor have they the light of the sun; for the ‘Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
Mashiku nteti akabeko sobwe nambi mumuni wa lampi nambi wa lisuba, pakwinga Mwami Lesa nakabe mumuni wabo. Nibakendelesheti bami kwamuyayaya. (aiōn g165)
