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 went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
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.
But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not 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)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is 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 them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
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, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
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. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, 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 against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 Tedae he rhoek boeih he bungtloh a tongnah ni.
But all these things 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 up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of 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.
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Te phoeiah laithae tonghma muep thoo vetih hlang muep a rhaithi uh ni.
Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 Olaeknah te ping vetih lungnah te muep daeh ni.
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 Tedae a bawt duela aka ueh te tah daem ni.
But he who endures 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.
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the 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.
“When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (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 him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 Lohma kah loh a himbai khuen ham a hnukla bal boel saeh.
Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 Tedae te khohnin ah bungvawn neh cacun la aka om rhoek tah lungma.
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20 Tedae Nangmih kah rhaelrhamnah tah sikca neh Sabbath ah a om pawt ham thangthui uh.
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a 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 there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will 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.
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 Te vaengah pakhat loh nangmih taengah, 'Hela khrih he, kela ke,’ a ti atah tangnah boeh.
“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t 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 arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
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 tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t 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 flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 Rhok loh a om nah te langta loh hnap a boo ni.
For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather 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 the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, 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.
and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky 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.
He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky 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 from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you 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.
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, he rhoek boeih loh a thoeng hlan atah he cadil he khum loeng loeng mahpawh.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
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 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 no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Noah tue kah bangla Hlang Capa kah ha lonah khaw om tangloeng van ni.
As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
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 in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
39 Tuilii lo tih boeih a khuen duela ming uh pawh. Hlang Capa kah a lonah khaw om van tangloeng ni.
and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 Te vaengah lohma ah hlang panit om ni. Pakhat te a khuen vetih pakhat a hlah ni.
Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be 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 one will be left.
42 Te dongah hak uh laeh, na Boeipa ha pawk tue te na ming uh moenih.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know 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 of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would 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 also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, 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 then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
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 lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amah kah khuehtawn boeih soah anih te a om sak ni.
Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 Tedae sal thae long tah a thinko khuiah, 'Ka boeipa tah di coeng,’ a ti.
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 Te dongah a sal puei rhoek te koe a boh. Aka rhui rhoek taengah a caak tih a ok van.
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 A lamso pawh khohnin neh a ming pawt tue vaengah ni boeipa loh sal te a paan eh.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
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 will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
