Matthai 24
1 Jesuh tah bawkim lamloh khoe uh tih Cet. Te vaengah bawkim kah hlinsainah te tueng ham a hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh.
As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
2 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Boeih na hmuh uh moenih a he? Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, phil ham pawt koi lungto sokah lungto pataeng hmaai loeng loeng mahpawh he,” a ti nah.
“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3 Olives tlang ah Jesuh amah bueng a ngol vaengah hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Na lonah neh kumhal kah a bawtnah miknoek tah metlam lae? He rhoek he me vaengah lae a om eh? Kaimih taengah thui lah?” a ti na uh. (aiōn g165)
While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Khat khat loh nangmih te n'rhaithi pawt ham dawn uh.
Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5 Kai ming neh muep ha pawk uh ni. 'Kai tah Khrih ni,’ a ti uh vetih muep a rhaithi uh ni.
For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 Tedae caem neh caem kah puenpa na yaak uh tom coeng. Na hmuh uh vaengah let uh boeh. Te khaw a om ham a kuek ngawn dae a bawtnah tah om hlan.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7 Namtom loh namtom, ram loh ram a tlai thil ni. Te phoeiah khokha om vetih hmuen tom ah lingluei hinghuen ni.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 Tedae he rhoek boeih he bungtloh a tongnah ni.
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 Te phoeiah nangmih te phacipphabaem dongah m'voeih uh vetih nangmih te n'ngawn uh ni. Kai ming kongah namtom boeih kah a hmuhuet la na om uh ni.
Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10 Te vaengah a cungkuem te a khah uh vetih pakhat te a voeih uh phoeiah pakhat te a thiinah uh ni.
At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
11 Te phoeiah laithae tonghma muep thoo vetih hlang muep a rhaithi uh ni.
and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
12 Olaeknah te ping vetih lungnah te muep daeh ni.
Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13 Tedae a bawt duela aka ueh te tah daem ni.
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14 Te phoeiah ram kah olthangthen he namtom boeih taengah laipai la om sak ham lunglai pum boeih ah a hoe ni. Te daengah ni a bawtnah te ha pawk pueng eh.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 Te dongah tonghma Daniel loh hmuen cim ah pai tih mitmoengnah neh tueilaehnah a thui te na hmuh uh, aka tae loh yakming saeh.
So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
16 Te vaengah Judah kah rhoek loh tlang la rhaelrham uh saeh.
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Imphu sokah loh a im kah te puen hamla suntla boel saeh.
Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
18 Lohma kah loh a himbai khuen ham a hnukla bal boel saeh.
And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
19 Tedae te khohnin ah bungvawn neh cacun la aka om rhoek tah lungma.
How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
20 Tedae Nangmih kah rhaelrhamnah tah sikca neh Sabbath ah a om pawt ham thangthui uh.
Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 Te vaengah phacipphabaem muep om ni. Te bang te Diklai tongcuek lamkah loh tahae duela om noek pawt tih ka om bal eh a ti tlaih voel moenih.
For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
22 Te khohnin te boem pawt koinih pumsa boeih tah daem mai mahpawh. Tedae a coelh rhoek ham te khohnin a boem pah ni.
If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23 Te vaengah pakhat loh nangmih taengah, 'Hela khrih he, kela ke,’ a ti atah tangnah boeh.
At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
24 Laithae khrih neh laithae tonghma rhoek tah thoo uh ni. Coengthai koinih a coelh rhoek pataeng rhaithi ham miknoek a len neh khobae rhambae te a khueh uh ni.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
25 Nangmih taengah kan thui coeng he ne.
See, I have told you in advance.
26 Te dongah nangmih te, 'Khosoek ah om ke,’ a ti uh atah cet uh boeh. 'Imkhui ah la ke,’ a ti uh akhaw tangnah uh boeh.
So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27 Khophaa loh khothoeng lamkah cet tih khotlak due a phaa bangla hlang capa kah a lonah khaw om van ni.
For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 Rhok loh a om nah te langta loh hnap a boo ni.
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 Tekah phacipphabaem khohnin phoeiah khomik loh tlek hmuep vetih hla loh a aa pae mahpawh. Aisi tah vaan lamkah loh cuhu vetih vaan kah thaomnah loh hinghoek uh ni.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
30 Te vaengah Hlang Capa kah miknoek tah vaan ah tueng ni. Diklai koca boeih loh a rhaengae uh vetih, hlang capa loh vaan kah khomai dongah thaomnah, a len la thangpomnah neh ha pawk te a hmuh uh ni.
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 Amah kah puencawn rhoek te olueng ol aka cai neh a tueih vetih a coelh hlang rhoek te dilaikil pali lamkah, vaan ak a soi lamloh a soi duela tingtun uh ni.
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 Thaibu lamkah nuettahnah te ming uh. A hlaeng loh suepluep la om tih a hnah a boe vaengah khohal tom coeng tila na ming uh.
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 Nangmih khaw he rhoek he boeih na hmuh uh vaengah tah thohka ah ha pawk tom coeng tila ming uh.
So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
34 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, he rhoek boeih loh a thoeng hlan atah he cadil he khum loeng loeng mahpawh.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
35 Vaan neh diklai tah khumpael ni tedae ka ol he ta khumpael rhoerhoe mahpawh.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36 Tekah a tue neh khohnin te a Pa bueng pawt atah Capa long khaw, vaan kah puencawn rhoek long khaw ming pawh.
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37 Noah tue kah bangla Hlang Capa kah ha lonah khaw om tangloeng van ni.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 Tevaeng tue kah rhoek tah tuilii hlan lamkah loh Noah lawng khuila a kun khohnin duela a caak uh, a ok uh, yuuloh vasak, rhaihlan neh om uh.
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
39 Tuilii lo tih boeih a khuen duela ming uh pawh. Hlang Capa kah a lonah khaw om van tangloeng ni.
And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Te vaengah lohma ah hlang panit om ni. Pakhat te a khuen vetih pakhat a hlah ni.
Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41 Phaklung neh aka kuelh rhoi te pakhat a khuen vetih pakhat a paih ni.
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42 Te dongah hak uh laeh, na Boeipa ha pawk tue te na ming uh moenih.
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
43 Imkung loh hlanghuen ha pawk tue te ming koinih hak vetih a im te muk sak mahpawh tite na ming uh.
But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 Te dongah nangmih khaw sikim la om uh. Hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue vaengah ha pawk ni.
For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45 Te koinih uepom neh sal cueih la unim aka om? Anih te boeipa loh a imkhuikho ah a tuetang vaengah amih ham buh aka poep la a khueh.
Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
46 A boei loh ha pawk vaengah a saii te a hmuh tangloeng atah sal te khaw a yoethen.
Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amah kah khuehtawn boeih soah anih te a om sak ni.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48 Tedae sal thae long tah a thinko khuiah, 'Ka boeipa tah di coeng,’ a ti.
But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
49 Te dongah a sal puei rhoek te koe a boh. Aka rhui rhoek taengah a caak tih a ok van.
And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50 A lamso pawh khohnin neh a ming pawt tue vaengah ni boeipa loh sal te a paan eh.
The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
51 Te vaengah anih te a tloek vetih a paihmuen te hlangthai palat rhoek taengla a khueh pah ni. Te rhoek ah rhah neh no rhuengnah ni a om eh.
Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
