loves his life - hates his life
The Greek in John 12:25 that is translated as “loves his life” and “hates his life” in English is translated into Maru (Lhao Vo) as “protecting one’s life for oneself” (for “loves his life”) and “not stingy with one’s life” (for “hates his own life”).
do not be discouraged, do not be dismayed

cut into two, punish

power (abstract noun)
Akha cannot directly translate the abstract noun “power” in what in Mark 14:62 is translated into English as “you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power,” it has to be the power of so and so. Thus the translation reads “the powerful God” here.
