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.
Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple 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.
"You see all these?" He replied; "in solemn truth I tell you that there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be pulled 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)
Afterwards He was on the Mount of Olives and was seated there when the disciples came to Him, apart from the others, and said, "Tell us when this will be; and what will be the sign of your Coming and of the Close of the Age?" (aiōn g165)
4 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Khat khat loh nangmih te n'rhaithi pawt ham dawn uh.
"Take care that no one misleads you," answered Jesus;
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 assuming my name and saying 'I am the Christ;' and they will 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.
And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.
7 Namtom loh namtom, ram loh ram a tlai thil ni. Te phoeiah khokha om vetih hmuen tom ah lingluei hinghuen ni.
For nation will rise in arms against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places;
8 Tedae he rhoek boeih he bungtloh a tongnah ni.
but all these miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
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.
"At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.
10 Te vaengah a cungkuem te a khah uh vetih pakhat te a voeih uh phoeiah pakhat te a thiinah uh ni.
Then will many stumble and fall, and they will betray one another and hate one another.
11 Te phoeiah laithae tonghma muep thoo vetih hlang muep a rhaithi uh ni.
Many false prophets will rise up and lead multitudes astray;
12 Olaeknah te ping vetih lungnah te muep daeh ni.
and because of the prevalent disregard of God's law the love of the great majority will grow cold;
13 Tedae a bawt duela aka ueh te tah daem ni.
but those who stand firm to the End 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 this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world to set the evidence before all the Gentiles; 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.
"When you have seen (to use the language of the Prophet Daniel) the 'Abomination of Desolation', standing in the Holy Place" --let the reader observe those words--
16 Te vaengah Judah kah rhoek loh tlang la rhaelrham uh saeh.
"then let those who are in Judaea escape to the hills;
17 Imphu sokah loh a im kah te puen hamla suntla boel saeh.
let him who is on the roof not go down to fetch what is in his house;
18 Lohma kah loh a himbai khuen ham a hnukla bal boel saeh.
nor let him who is outside the city stay to pick up his outer garment.
19 Tedae te khohnin ah bungvawn neh cacun la aka om rhoek tah lungma.
And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
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, nor 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 it will be a time of great suffering, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now, and assuredly never will be 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.
And if those days had not been cut short, no one would escape; but for the sake of God's own People those days will be cut short.
23 Te vaengah pakhat loh nangmih taengah, 'Hela khrih he, kela ke,’ a ti atah tangnah boeh.
"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'Here!' give no credence to 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 there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying wonderful signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, were it possible, even God's own People.
25 Nangmih taengah kan thui coeng he ne.
Remember, I have forewarned you.
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 should say to you, 'See, He is in the Desert!' do not go out there: or 'See, He is indoors in the room!' 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 flashes in the east and is seen to the very 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 the dead body is, there will the vultures flock together.
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 those times of distress the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shed her light, the stars will fall from the firmament, and the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
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.
Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the nations of the earth lament, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and 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-blast, and they will bring together His own People to Him from north, south, east and west--from one extremity of the world 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 from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branches have now become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you all 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 you also, when you see all these signs, may be sure that He is near--at your very door.
34 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, he rhoek boeih loh a thoeng hlan atah he cadil he khum loeng loeng mahpawh.
I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
35 Vaan neh diklai tah khumpael ni tedae ka ol he ta khumpael rhoerhoe mahpawh.
Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not 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 as to that day and the exact time no one knows--not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 Noah tue kah bangla Hlang Capa kah ha lonah khaw om tangloeng van ni.
'For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will 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.
At that time, before the Deluge, men were busy eating and drinking, taking wives or giving them, up to the very day when 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.
nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge 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.
Then will two men be in the open country: one will be taken away, and one left behind.
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 away, and one left behind.
42 Te dongah hak uh laeh, na Boeipa ha pawk tue te na ming uh moenih.
Be on the alert therefore, for you do not know the day on which your Lord is coming.
43 Imkung loh hlanghuen ha pawk tue te ming koinih hak vetih a im te muk sak mahpawh tite na ming uh.
But of this be assured, that if the master of the house had known the hour at which the robber was coming, he would have kept awake, and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Te dongah nangmih khaw sikim la om uh. Hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue vaengah ha pawk ni.
Therefore you also must be ready; for it is at a time when you do not expect Him that the Son of Man will come.
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 therefore is the loyal and intelligent servant to whom his master has entrusted the control of his household to give them their rations at the appointed time?
46 A boei loh ha pawk vaengah a saii te a hmuh tangloeng atah sal te khaw a yoethen.
Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes shall find so doing!
47 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amah kah khuehtawn boeih soah anih te a om sak ni.
In solemn truth I tell you that he will give him the management of all his wealth.
48 Tedae sal thae long tah a thinko khuiah, 'Ka boeipa tah di coeng,’ a ti.
But if the man, being a bad servant, should say in his heart, 'My master is a long time in coming,'
49 Te dongah a sal puei rhoek te koe a boh. Aka rhui rhoek taengah a caak tih a ok van.
and should begin to beat his fellow servants, while he eats and drinks 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 arrive on a day when he is not expecting him and at an hour of which he has not been informed;
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.
he will treat him with the utmost severity and assign him a place among the hypocrites: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
