Matthew 24
1 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.
Mgbe Jisọs si nʼụlọnsọ ahụ na-apụ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya na-achọ igosi ya akụkụ dị iche iche nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
2 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.
Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Unu hụrụ ihe ndị a niile? Nʼezie agwa m unu, oge na-abịa mgbe ọ bụladị otu nkume na-agaghị adịgidekwa nʼelu ibe ya, nke a na-agaghị akwatu nʼala.”
3 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)
Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼelu Ugwu Oliv, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya iche, sị, “Gwa anyị, olee mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu? Gịnị ga-abụkwa ihe ịrịbama nke oge i ji alọghachi na nke ọgwụgwụ ụwa a?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.
Jisọs zara ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu ụzọ.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m, na-ekwu sị, ‘Abụ m Kraịst ahụ.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
6 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.
Mgbe unu nụrụ ụzụ agha, na akụkọ agha dị iche iche, unu atụla egwu, nʼihi na ihe ndị a aghaghị ime. Ma ha anaghị egosi na ọgwụgwụ oge eruola.
7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
Mba ga-ebili megide mba ibe ya, alaeze ga-ebilikwa megide alaeze ọzọ; oke ụnwụ, na ala ọma jijiji ga-adịkwa nʼọtụtụ ebe dị iche iche.
8 But all these [are the] beginning of throes.
Ma ihe ndị a niile bụ naanị mmalite ịta ahụhụ nke ga-abịa.
9 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.
“Mgbe ahụ ha ga-arara unu nyefee nʼaka ndị ga-ata unu ahụhụ. Ha ga-egbukwa unu. Mba niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m.
10 And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
Ọtụtụ ga-ada site nʼokwukwe ha nʼoge ahụ. Ha ga-emekwa ka ibe ha ma nʼọnya, kpọọkwa ibe ha asị.
11 and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị amụma ụgha ga-apụta. Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ mmadụ.
12 and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
Nʼihi na ajọ omume bara ụba nʼebe niile, ịhụnanya ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼebe ibe ha nọ ga-ajụ oyi.
13 but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
14 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.
A ga-ekwusa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ nye ụwa niile ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye mba niile. Emesịa ọgwụgwụ oge ahụ ga-abịa.
15 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, )
“Ya mere, mgbe unu hụrụ ihe arụ nke na-eweta mbibi, nke e kwuru okwu ya site nʼọnụ Daniel onye amụma, ka ọ na-eguzo nʼebe nsọ (onye na-agụ ya nwee nghọta ihe ọ pụtara).
16 then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
Mgbe ahụ, ka ndị nọ na Judịa were ọsọ gbalaga nʼelu ugwu.
17 let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
Ka onye nọ nʼelu ụlọ ghara ịrịdata ka ọ banye nʼime ụlọ ya, ịkwapụta ngwongwo dị nʼime ụlọ ya.
18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
Ka onye nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi nʼụlọ ya ịchịrị uwe ya.
19 But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
Ma ịta ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị nwanyị di ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara nʼụbọchị ahụ
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
Kpesienụ ekpere ike ka unu ghara ịgba ọsọ a nʼoge oke oyi, maọbụ nʼụbọchị izuike.
21 for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;
Nʼihi na oke mkpagbu ga-adị, ụdị nke ụwa na-ahụbeghị mbụ, na nke anya na-agaghị ahụkwa ọzọ site na mmalite ụwa ruo mgbe ahụ.
22 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.
“Ọ bụrụ na-emeghị ka ụbọchị ndị ahụ dị mkpụmkpụ, o nweghị onye a ga-azọpụta, ma nʼihi ndị ya ọ họpụtara, ụbọchị ndị ahụ ga-adị mkpụmkpụ.
23 Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Lee, Kraịst nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee ya nʼebe ahụ,’ unu ekwela.
24 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.
Nʼihi na ndị nzọpụta ụgha na ndị amụma ụgha ga-apụta. Ha ga-eme ihe oke ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche. Ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ekwe mee, ha ga-esite nʼọrụ ebube ha ga-arụ duhie, ọ bụladị ndị ahụ a họpụtara.
25 Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Lee, agwala m unu ihe ndị a, mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
26 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].
“Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ha asị unu, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼime ọzara,’ unu agakwala. Ọ bụrụkwa na ha asị unu, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼime ime ụlọ,’ unu ekwela.
27 For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Nʼihi na ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka amụma na-egbu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke a na-ahụ anya nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
28 [For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
Matakwanụ na ebe ọbụla ozu dị, nʼebe ahụ ka udele na-ezukọta.
29 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.
“Ngwangwa mgbe mkpagbu nke ụbọchị ndị ahụ niile gabigasịrị, “‘anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị. Ọnwa agaghị enyekwa ìhè, kpakpando ga-esi na mbara eluigwe daa, ike niile nke eluigwe ga-ama jijiji.’
30 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.
“Nʼoge ahụ akara ngosi nke Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-apụta ihe na mbara eluigwe. Agbụrụ niile nke ụwa ga-anọkwa na-eru ụjụ. Ha ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii, nʼike nakwa oke ebube.
31 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.
Ọ ga-ewerekwa olu opi ike zipụ ndị mmụọ ozi ka ha gaa kpọkọtaa ndị niile a họpụtara site nʼakụkụ anọ niile nke eluigwe na ụwa.
32 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
“Ugbu a mụtanụ ihe site nʼosisi fiig. Mgbe ọbụla alaka ya malitere iwepụta ome dị nro, na-epupụtakwa akwụkwọ ndụ maranụ na ọkọchị na-abịa nso.
33 Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
Otu a kwa, mgbe unu na-ahụ ihe ndị a niile ka ha na-eme marakwanụ na ọ nọ nso, ọ bụladị nʼọnụ ụzọ unu.
34 Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.
Nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe ndị a niile aghaghị imezu tupu ọgbọ a agabiga.
35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga, ma okwu m enweghị ike ịgabiga.
36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.
“Ma o nweghị onye ọbụla maara ụbọchị ahụ, maọbụ oge awa ahụ ga-abụ. Ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ozi nọ nʼeluigwe amaghị ya. Ọkpara ahụ amakwaghị. Ọ bụ naanị Nna maara ya.
37 But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Noa.
38 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,
Nʼoge ahụ tupu iju mmiri ahụ abịa, ndị mmadụ nọ na-eri na aṅụ, na-emekwa mmemme ọlụlụ di na nwunye, ruo ụbọchị Noa banyere nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ya.
39 and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Ha amataghị ihe ga-eme tutu oke mmiri ahụ abịa kpochapụ ha niile. Otu ahụ ka ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị.
40 Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;
Mmadụ abụọ ga na-arụkọ ọrụ nʼubi ha, a ga-ewepụ otu hapụkwa onye nke ọzọ.
41 two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
Ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ga na-akwọ nri na nkume igwe nri, a ga-ewere otu, ma hapụkwa nke ọzọ.
42 Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.
“Nʼihi nke a, na-echenụ nche, nʼihi na unu amaghị ụbọchị Onyenwe unu ga-abịa.
43 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].
Ma ghọtanụ nke a: Ọ bụrụ na nna nwe ụlọ mara oge onye ohi ga-abịa nʼụlọ ya nʼabalị, ọ ga-anọ na nche nʼoge ahụ. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka onye ohi kụwaa ụlọ ya.
44 Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.
Otu a ka unu onwe unu pụrụ isi nọgide na nche oge niile, nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-abịa nʼoge awa unu na-atụghị anya ya.
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?
“Onye bụ ohu ahụ nke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ma nwekwa uche, nke onyenwe ya mere onyeisi ndị ohu nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya, ka ọ na-enye ha nri nʼoge ya?
46 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ohu ahụ, onye, mgbe onyenwe ya ga-alọghachi hụ na ọ na-eme otu a.
47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.
Nʼezie asị m unu, ọ ga-eme ya onyeisi nke ihe niile o nwere.
48 But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
Ma ọ bụrụ na ohu ahụ bụ onye ajọọ omume na-asị onwe ya, ‘Nna m ukwu anọọla ogologo oge,’
49 and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;
ọ bụrụkwa na o bido iti ndị ohu ibe ya ihe, sorokwa ndị ọṅụ oke mmanya na-eri, na-aṅụ.
50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,
Nna ukwu ohu ahụ ga-alọta nʼụbọchị ọ na-atụghị anya, nʼoge awa ọ na-amakwaghị.
51 and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Ọ ga-egburisikwa ya, nye ya ọnọdụ nʼetiti ebe ndị ihu abụọ nọ. Ebe e nwere ịkwa akwa na ịta ikikere eze.
