[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.

Gonne Modimo o ba dirile baleofi botlhe gore o tle o ba utlwele botlhoko botlhe ka go tshwana. (eleēsē )

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 )

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 )
Mme jaanong fela jaaka baporofiti ba sale ba bolela le jaaka Modimo o laotse molaetsa o o rerwa gongwe le gongwe, gore batho mo tikologong yotlhe ya lefatshe ba tle ba nne le tumelo mo go Keresete ba mo obamele. (aiōnios )
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios )
A Kgalalelo e nne go Modimo ka osi o o leng botlhale, ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona. Amen. Ke nna wa boammaaruri, Paulo (aiōn )
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )
Jaanong go ka tweng ka batho ba ba botlhale, barutegi ba, bakanoki ba ba botlhale ba dilo tse di kgolo tsa lefatshe le? Modimo o ba dirile gore botlhe ba lebege e le dieleele, wa ba wa supa botlhale jwa bone bo sena mosola. (aiōn )
So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn )
Le fa go ntse jalo fa ke na le Bakeresete ba ba nonofileng mo tumelong ke a tle ke bue mafoko a botlhale jo bogolo, mme e seng a mofuta o o tswang mono lefatsheng, le e seng ka mofuta wa batho ba lefatshe le, ba ba tlaa tlogang ba nyelela. (aiōn )
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn )
Mafoko a rona a botlhale ka gore a tswa mo Modimong, a re bolelela botlhale jwa leano la Modimo le le re tlisang mo dikgalalelong tsa Legodimo. Leano le le ne le fitlhegile mo lobakeng lwa pele, le fa le ne la dirwa go re solegela molemo pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe. (aiōn )
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn )
Mme batho ba bagolo ba lefatshe ga ba a ka ba le tlhaloganya; fa ba ne ba le tlhalogantse, ba ka bo ba sa bapola Morena wa kgalalelo. (aiōn )
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn )

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 )
Jalo fa nama e e ntshediwang medimo ya disetwa e tlaa leofisa mokaulengwe wa me, ga nkitla ke e ja mo botshelong jwa me, ka gore ga ke batle go mo leofisa. (aiōn )
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn )

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 )
Loso ana phenyo ya gago e kae? Go loma ga gago go kae? Gonne sebe, lobolela lo lo dirang loso, lo tlaa bo lo nyeletse; mme molao o o senolang dibe tsa rona o tlaa bo o sa tlhole o le moatlhodi wa rona. (Hadēs )
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs )

[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 )
Matshwenyego a le dipogiso tsa rona, a mannye ebile ga a tseye lobaka lo lo leele. Le fa go ntse jalo lobaka lo lo khutshwane lo lwa bohutsana lo tlaa felela mo tshegofatsong e kgolo ya Modimo mo go rona ka metlha le metlha! (aiōnios )
[I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios )
Jalo ga re lebe se re ka se bonang jaanong jaana, matshwenyego a re dikanyeditse, mme re lebeletse pele boitumelo mo legodimong jo re iseng re ke re bo bone. Matshwenyego a tloga a fela, mme boitumelo jo bo tlang bo tlaa nnela ruri. (aiōnios )
That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios )
Gonne re itse gore fa motlaagana (mmele) o, o re nnang mo go one o rutlololwa, fa ree swa re tlogela mebele e, re tlaa nna le mebele e mesha e mentle kwa legodimong, magae a e tlaa nnang a rona ka bosakhutleng, a re a diretsweng ke Modimo, e seng ka diatla tsa batho. (aiōnios )
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios )
Go ntse jaaka dikwalo di bolela di re: “Motho wa Modimo o abela bahumanegi ka pelo e tshweu. Ditiro tsa gagwe tse di molemo di tlaa nna tlotlo mo go ene ka bosakhutleng.” (aiōn )
[Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn )
Modimo, Rraagwe Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, yo o tshwanetseng go bakwa ka metlha le metlha, o a itse gore ke bolela boammaaruri. (aiōn )
God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn )
O swetse dibe tsa rona fela jaaka Modimo Rara wa rona a rulagantse, a bo a re falotsha mo lefatsheng leno le le bosula le re nnang mo go lone. (aiōn )
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn )
A kgalalelo yotlhe e nne go Modimo ka metlha yotlhe ya bosakhutleng. Amen. (aiōn )
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )

(aiōnios )
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios )

[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 )

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 )
Mme jaanong Modimo ka malatsi otlhe o ka re supegetsa e le dikai tsa ka fa bopelonomi jwa one jo bontle bo ntseng ka teng; jaaka go supiwa mo go tsotlhe tse o re di diretseng ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōn )

fela jaaka o ne o sa bolo go rulaganya go dira ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona. (aiōn )
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn )
A o newe kgalalelo ka bosakhutleng mo dingwageng tse di sa khutleng ka ntlha ya leina la Morena la poloko ya phuthego ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōn )
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )

(aiōn )
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn )

Ba tlaa otlhaiwa mo moleting wa bosakhu-tleng, ba kgaoganyeditswe ruri le sefatlhogo sa Morena, ba se kitla ba bona kgalalelo ya nonofo ya gagwe, (aiōnios )
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios )
A Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ka sebele le Modimo Rraa rona, o o re ratileng wa bo wa re neela kgomotso ya bosakhutleng le tsholofelo e e sa re tshwanelang, (aiōnios )
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios )

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 )

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 )
Tlhabanela Modimo thata. Tshwara thata botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo Modimo o bo go neileng, jo o bo ipoleletseng ka boipolelo jo bogolo mo ponong ya basupi ba le bantsi. (aiōnios )
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios )

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!)

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 )

[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 )
Ke rata thata go boga, fa moo go ka tlisa poloko le kgalalelo ya bosakhutleng ka Keresete Jesu mo go ba Modimo o ba tlhophileng. (aiōnios )
Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios )
gonne Demase o ntlogetse. O ratile dilo tse dintle tsa lefatshe leno o ile Theselonika. Keresenese o ile Galalea, Tito o ile Dalamatia. (aiōn )
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn )
Ee, Morena o tlaa nna a nkgolola ka nako tsotlhe mo bosuleng jotlhe mme o tlaa ntlisa mo bogosing jwa gagwe jwa selegodimo. A kgalalelo e nne go Modimo ka metlha le metlha. Amen. (aiōn )
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )

[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 )

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 )

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 )
Gongwe o ne o ka go akanya jaana: gore o siile kwa go wena ka lobakanyana gore jaanong a nne wa gago ka malatsi otlhe, (aiōnios )
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios )
Mme jaanong mo malatsing ano, o buile le rona ka Morwaa One yo o mo neileng sengwe le sengwe, yo gape ka ene o dirileng lefatshe le sengwe le sengwe se se leng teng. (aiōn )
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn )
mme kaga Morwawe a re, “Bogosi jwa gago, Modimo, bo tlaa nna ka bosakhutleng; ditaolo tsa jone ka malatsi otlhe di siame ebile di boammaaruri. (aiōn )
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn )
Gape ka nako e nngwe o ne wa mo raya wa re, “O tlhophilwe go nna moperesiti ka bosakhutleng, o le mo maemong a le mangwe fela a boperesiti le Melekisedeke.” (aiōn )
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn )
Erile a sena go itshupa fa a itekanetse mo maitemogelong a gagwe, Jesu a nna Moabi wa Poloko ya bosakhutleng mo go botlhe ba ba mo ikobelang. (aiōnios )
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios )
ga lo tlhoke go rutelwa pele ka kolobetso le dineo tsa semowa le tsogo ya baswi le tshekiso ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios )
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios )
lo bile lo itse ka fa Lefoko la Modimo le leng molemo ka teng, lwa ba lwa ikutlwela dinonofo tse dikgolo tsa lefatshe le le tlang, (aiōn )
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn )

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 )
Ebile Mopesalema o supa selo se fa a bua kaga Keresete a re, “O moperesiti ka bosakhutleng o le mo maemong a a lekanang le a ga Melekisedeke.” (aiōn )
[We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn )
le fa go ntse jalo Modimo ga o ise o ke o bue jalo ka baperesiti ba bangwe. O reile Keresete a le nosi fela wa re, “Modimo o ikanne ebile ga o kitla o fetoga mo maikaelelong a one. O moperesiti ka bosakhutleng, o le mo maemong a a lekanang le a ga Melekisedeke.” (aiōn )
However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn )
Mme Keresete ene o tshela ka bosakhutleng o bile o tsweletse go nna moperesiti gore go seka ga tlhola go tlhokega yo mongwe gape. (aiōn )
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn )

[We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn )

Nnyaa, o ne a tsaya madi a gagwe, mme ka sebele, a tlhomamisa poloko ya rona ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios )
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios )

Setlhabelo sa gagwe se re golola mo go tshwenyegeng go patelesega go obamela melao e megologolo, ebile se re dira gore re batle go direla Modimo o o tshelang.

[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 )
Keresete o tsile ka kgolagano e ncha e, gore botlhe ba ba lalediwang ba ka nna ba tla gore ba tle ba bone dilo tsotlhe tse di molemo tse Modimo o di ba solofeditseng. Gonne Keresete o swetse gore a ba falotshe mo go otlhaelweng dibe tse ba di dirileng ba santse ba le ka fa tlase ga kgolagano e kgologolo. (aiōnios )
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios )
Fa e ne e le gore go dira jalo go ne go tlhokega o ka bo a ne a tshwanelwa ke go swa gantsi, go tswa tshimologong ya lefatshe. Mme ga go a nna jalo! O ne a tla gangwe fela ebile e le lwa bofelo, kwa bokhutlong jwa metlha, go tlosa nonofo ya sebe ka bosakhutleng ka go re swela. (aiōn )
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn )
Ka tumelo, ka go dumela Modimo, re itse gore lefatshe le dinaledi, tota a ke re dilo tsotlhe, di dirilwe ka taolo ya Modimo; le gore di dirilwe ka dilo tse di sa bonweng. (aiōn )
It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn )
Jesu Keresete e ntse ke ene wa maabane, wa gompieno, le wa bosakhutleng. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )

Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios )
Hebrews 13:21
(parallel missing)
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 )

[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 )
Gonne lo na le botshelo jo bosha. Ga lo a bo newa ke batsadi ba lona, gonne botshelo jo ba neng ba lo bo neile bo tlaa nyelela. Jo bosha jo bo tlaa nna ka bosakhutleng. (aiōn )
[I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn )
mme Lefoko la Morena le tlaa nna ka bosakhutleng. Le molaetsa wa gagwe ke Mafoko a a Molemo a lo a reretsweng. (aiōn )

Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn )

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 )

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 )
Mme golang mo nonofong ya semowa lo itsanye sentle le Morena le Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. A mo go ene go nne kgalalelo yotlhe le boitumelo jwa tlotlo, go tloga fano le ka bosakhutleng. Salang sentle. Ke nna, Petere. (aiōn )
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn )

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 )

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 )

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 )
Ke lo kwaletse se, lona ba lo dumelang mo go Morwa Modimo gore lo itse gore lo na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios )
I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios )

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 )
Ere ka boammaaruri bo le mo dipelong tsa rona ka bosakhutleng, (aiōn )

And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios , questioned)

Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios , questioned)

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].

Jude 1:25
(parallel missing)
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 )

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 )
Mme foo ka utlwa mongwe le mongwe mo legodimong le mo lefatshing, le mo baswing ka fa tlase ga lefatshe mo teng ga lewatle, ba goa ba re, “Tshegofatso le tlotlo le kgalalelo le nonofo ke tsa yo o ntseng mo setilong sa bogosi, le kwa go Kwana ka metlha le metlha.” (aiōn )
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn )

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.

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 )
Ya re a o bula, mosi wa tswa jaaka ekete o tswa mo leisong la boubelo jo bogolo. Mme letsatsi le phefo tsa fifadiwa ke mosi. (Abyssos )

The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos )

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.

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 )

The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn , Limnē Pyr )
