English version: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"

Any help would be appreciated with sincere gratitude.

What is the Svan (ლუშნუ ნინ) language translation for this Georgian bible verse?:

რამეთუ ესრეთ შეიყუარა ღმერთმან სოფელი ესე, ვითარმედ ძეცა თჳსი მხოლოდ-შობილი მოსცა მას, რაჲთა ყოველსა რომელსა ჰრწმენეს იგი, არა წარწყმდეს, არამედ აქუნდეს ცხორებაჲ საუკუნოჲ.

Here is the Mingrelian version of the same verse:

ღორონთქ თეშ ქიჸოროფუ თე მოსოფელი, ნამჷ-და მუში ხვალეხელი სქუა უჭყოლოფუ თის, დო მით თის ირწუმენსინ, ვეშალას დო იროიან რინაქ აშუასი.

Any help from native or fluent speakers would be welcome, ივასუ ხარი. / გმადლობთ

Google search provided this Coptic Sahidic translation for John 3:16:

ⲦⲀⲒ ⲄⲀⲢ ⲦⲈ ⲐⲈ ⲈⲚⲦⲀ ⲠⲚⲞⲨⲦⲈ ⲘⲈⲢⲈ ⲠⲔⲞⲤⲘⲞⲤ. ϨⲰⲤⲦⲈ ⲠⲈϤϢⲎⲢⲈ ⲚⲞⲨⲰⲦ ⲀϤⲦⲀⲀϤ ϪⲈⲔⲀⲀⲤ ⲞⲨⲞⲚ ⲚⲒⲘ ⲈⲦⲠⲒⲤⲦⲈⲨⲈ ⲈⲢⲞϤ ⲚⲚⲈϤϨⲈ ⲈⲂⲞⲖ ⲀⲖⲖⲀ ⲈϤⲈϪⲒ ⲚⲞⲨⲰⲚϨ ϢⲀ ⲈⲚⲈϨ.

Can someone help confirm whether this is correct or not?

If it is not correct, could you please leave your comments below with your more accurate rendition, Thanks.

UPDATE: I have now found the source of that translation so the translation is confirmed to be correct.

Does someone know the John 3:16 translation for the following two coptic dialects?:

*Fayyumic Coptic

*Akhmimic Coptic

This is the Moldovan cyrillic version found online: "Фиинд-кэ атыт де мулт а юбит Думнезеу лумя, кэ а дат пе сингурул Луи Фиу, пентру ка оричине креде ын Ел сэ ну пярэ, чи сэ аибэ вяца вешникэ."

However it was translated in 1924 (102 years ago) by a Romanian bishop so does this verse still accurately reflect the Moldovan that is spoken today in Pridnestrovie?

If not, could a Moldovan speaker from the PMR kindly help translate this verse into the actual modern Moldovan language that is spoken in the villages in the PMR?

You can provide your more modern translation by leaving a comment below, Thanks.

Does anybody here speak any of these minority languages of Tajikistan fluently:

*Rushani

Matthew 11:12 states:

English translation: "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force".

Koine Greek version: Ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν ἡμερῶν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ ἕως ἄρτι ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν βιάζεται, καὶ βιασταὶ ἁρπάζουσιν αὐτήν.

Does that mean the violent people are able to take, seize and enter the kingdom of heaven by force?

All explanations will be appreciated.

Update: I just realized that the English translation above was the ESV version of which the KJV and NKJV and NASV also mention that "the violent take it by force".

Other English translations are as follows:

The NIV version: "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it."

NLT version: "And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it."

BSB version: "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it."
