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.

And as Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, his disciples came to observe to Him the magnificent 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.

But Jesus said unto them, Do ye see all these things? Verily I tell you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be demolished.

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)

And when He was got to the mount of olives, the disciples came to Him in private and said, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world. (aiōn g165)

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

And Jesus answered them, See that no one deceive 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 shall 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.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but be not troubled; for all these must indeed come to pass, 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 shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in several places:

8 Tedae he rhoek boeih he bungtloh a tongnah ni.

all which are but the beginning of sorrows.

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 afflict you, and kill you; and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name:

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 take offense, and betray one another, and hate one another: and many false prophets will rise up and deceive many:

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

and because iniquity shall abound,

12 Olaeknah te ping vetih lungnah te muep daeh ni.

the love of many will grow cold.

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

But he that endures 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 gospel of the kingdom of heaven shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end 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 ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing at the holy place, (let him, that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:

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

let not him that is at the top of the house come down into it,

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

to take any thing out of his house;

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

nor let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes.

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

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

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

Pray that your flight be not in the 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 there shall be then great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world unto this time, no, 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 unless those days be shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.

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

Then if any shall say to you, Behold here is the Messiah, or there; 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 rise up false Christs, and false prophets, who shall shew great signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 Nangmih taengah kan thui coeng he ne.

Lo, I have told you before-hand: and therefore if they say to 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.

Behold, he is in the desert, go not out: behold, he is the secret chambers, believe them not:

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 cometh from the east, and flashes in an instant even 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 wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered 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.

And immediately after the affliction of those days, the fun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's 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 mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming as 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 forth his messengers with a trumpet of a loud voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven 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 a parable from the fig-tree: when it's branch is tender and bringeth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;

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

so ye also, when ye shall see all these things, know that it 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.

Verily I tell you, this generation shall not pass away, till all these be fulfilled.

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

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall 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 of THAT day and hour knoweth no one, 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.

for as the days of Noah were, so shall be also 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 in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah 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 knew not of it till the deluge came and took them all away; so shall be also 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 there shall be two in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left:

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

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

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

Watch therefore, for ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh:

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

but this ye know, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broke open: therefore be ye also ready;

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

for the Son of man cometh at a time that ye think not of.

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 servant, whom his lord hath set over his family to give them 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 when he cometh shall find so employed:

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

verily I tell you, that he will set him over his whole estate.

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

But if that servant be wicked and say in his heart, my master delayeth his coming,

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-servants, and to revel with 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 doth not expect him, and in an hour which he knows not,

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 asunder, and appoint him his portion with hypocrites: where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
