Matthai 24

1 Jesuh tah bawkim lamloh khoe uhtih Cet. Tevaengah bawkim kah hlinsainah te tueng ham a hnukbang rhoekloh a paan uh.

And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

2 Tedae amih teadoo 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.

And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.

3 Olives tlang ah Jesuh amah buenga ngol vaengah hnukbangrhoek loha paanuh 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)

And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age? (aiōn g165)

4 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Khat khat loh nangmih te n'rhaithi pawt ham dawn uh.

And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead 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 shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead 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.

But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.

7 Namtom loh namtom, ram loh ram a tlai thil ni. Te phoeiah khokha om vetih hmuen tom ah lingluei hinghuen ni.

For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

8 Tedae he rhoek boeih he bungtloh a tongnah ni.

But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

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 shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

10 Te vaengah a cungkuem te a khah uh vetih pakhat te a voeih uh phoeiah pakhat te a thiinah uh ni.

And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

11 Te phoeiah laithae tonghma muep thoo vetih hlang muep a rhaithi uh ni.

and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;

12 Olaeknah te ping vetih lungnah te muep daeh ni.

and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

13 Tedae a bawt duela aka ueh te tah daem ni.

but he that has endured to the end, he shall 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 these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.

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.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand, )

16 Te vaengah Judah kah rhoek loh tlang la rhaelrham uh saeh.

then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

17 Imphu sokah loh a im kah te puen hamla suntla boel saeh.

let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

18 Lohma kah loh a himbai khuen ham a hnukla bal boel saeh.

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

19 Tedae te khohnin ah bungvawn neh cacun la aka om rhoek tah lungma.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

20 Tedae Nangmih kah rhaelrhamnah tah sikca neh Sabbath ah a om pawt ham thangthui uh.

But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on 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 then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;

22 Te khohnin te boem pawt koinih pumsa boeih tah daem mai mahpawh. Tedae a coelh rhoek ham te khohnin a boem pah ni.

and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.

23 Te vaengah pakhat loh nangmih taengah, 'Hela khrih he, kela ke,’ a ti atah tangnah boeh.

Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.

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 there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

25 Nangmih taengah kan thui coeng he ne.

Behold, I have told you beforehand.

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.

If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, 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 as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

28 Rhok loh a om nah te langta loh hnap a boo ni.

[For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.

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.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall 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.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall 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 shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.

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.

But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

33 Nangmih khaw he rhoek he boeih na hmuh uh vaengah tah thohka ah ha pawk tom coeng tila ming uh.

Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.

34 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, he rhoek boeih loh a thoeng hlan atah he cadil he khum loeng loeng mahpawh.

Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.

35 Vaan neh diklai tah khumpael ni tedae ka ol he ta khumpael rhoerhoe mahpawh.

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise 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.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.

37 Noah tue kah bangla Hlang Capa kah ha lonah khaw om tangloeng van ni.

But as the days of Noe, so also shall be 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 as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into 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 knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be 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.

Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;

41 Phaklung neh aka kuelh rhoi te pakhat a khuen vetih pakhat a paih ni.

two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.

42 Te dongah hak uh laeh, na Boeipa ha pawk tue te na ming uh moenih.

Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.

43 Imkung loh hlanghuen ha pawk tue te ming koinih hak vetih a im te muk sak mahpawh tite na ming uh.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].

44 Te dongah nangmih khaw sikim la om uh. Hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue vaengah ha pawk ni.

Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.

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 prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?

46 A boei loh ha pawk vaengah a saii te a hmuh tangloeng atah sal te khaw a yoethen.

Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.

47 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amah kah khuehtawn boeih soah anih te a om sak ni.

Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.

48 Tedae sal thae long tah a thinko khuiah, 'Ka boeipa tah di coeng,’ a ti.

But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

49 Te dongah a sal puei rhoek te koe a boh. Aka rhui rhoek taengah a caak tih a ok van.

and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;

50 A lamso pawh khohnin neh a ming pawt tue vaengah ni boeipa loh sal te a paan eh.

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,

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.

and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
