In the New Testament there are two Greek words translated 'hell'. 'Hades' is the equivalent of the Hebrew 'sheol' which we have discussed earlier. 'Gehenna' is the name of the rubbish tip which was just outside Jerusalem, where the refuse from the city was burnt.
Katika Agano Jipya yapo maneno mawili ya Kiyunani yaliyotafsiriwa "hell" - kuzimu - Kiyunani'Hades’ ni maana moja na neno la Kiebrania'Sheol’. Hivyo kwa Kiebrania'shoel’, kiyunani'Hades’, kiingereza'hell’ ndipo tukapata neno letu kwa kiswahili'Kuzimu’ ambalo tumelijadili awali'Gehanamu’ ni jina la shimo panapomwagwa taka ambalo lilikuwa nje ya Yerusalemu, mahala uchafu wa kutoka mjini uliunguzwa..
