Saamponna ganeka kaula pas nengale ta-tahta, ban reng-oreng se alenggi e ta-tahta ganeka eparenge kobasa motose okoman. Kaula nengale jugan ma-sokmana reng-oreng se eketthok serana polana apareng kasakseyan parkara Isa, ban ngabarragi berta dhari Allah epabalattra. Reng-oreng ganeka ta' nyemba ka keban gella' otabana ka arcana. Reng-oreng ganeka jugan ta' narema tandhana keban buru e dhaina otaba e tanangnga. Daddi reng-oreng ganeka pas odhi' pole sarta daddi rato marenta asareng Almasih saebu taon abidda.

Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game where being loyal to your team gets you special rewards, like getting to sit on a throne and lead the team for a really long time. That's what this verse is about - people who were brave in their faith got a big reward!
Historical Background
The book of Revelation was written by John, one of Jesus' disciples, around 96 AD. It was addressed to seven churches in Asia Minor and serves as an apocalyptic vision meant to encourage persecuted Christians.
Living It Out Today
In today's context, this verse can remind us that standing up for what we believe in, even when it's hard, can lead to great rewards. Think of someone who stays true to their beliefs at work or school despite peer pressure.
