Matthew 24
1 And Iesus went out, and departed from the Temple, and his disciples came to him, to shewe him the building of the Temple.
Yesu do go le gbedoxɔ la me hezɔ dzo yina, ke eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo te ɖe eŋu heɖo ŋku nu dzi nɛ tso xɔ bubu siwo le gbedoxɔ me la ŋuti.
2 And Iesus sayd vnto them, See ye not all these things? Verely I say vnto you, there shall not be here left a stone vpon a stone, that shall not be cast downe.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Miele nu siawo katã kpɔma? Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be womagblẽ kpe ɖeka pɛ hã ɖe nɔvia dzi o; woagbã nu sia nu aƒu anyi.”
3 And as he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, his disciples came vnto him apart, saying, Tell vs when these things shall be, and what signe shalbe of thy comming, and of the ende of the world. (aiōn g165)
Azɔ edzo yi ɖanɔ Amito la dzi. Nusrɔ̃lawo va egbɔ va biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ɣe ka ɣi nu siawo katã ava eme? Dzesi kawoe afia wò vava zi evelia kple xexea me ƒe nuwuwu?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Take heede that no man deceiue you.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Minɔ ŋudzɔ, be ame aɖeke nagaflu mi o,
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.
elabena ame geɖewo ava le nye ŋkɔ me agblɔ be, ‘Nyee nye Kristo la,’ eye woaflu ame geɖewo.
6 And ye shall heare of warres, and rumours of warres: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet.
Ne miese be aʋa dzɔ le afi aɖe, eye aʋaɣliwo le ɖiɖim la, migaɖi vo alo avɔ̃ o, elabena esia mefia be nye vava alo nuwuwu la ɖo o. Nu siawo adzɔ, gake nuwuwu la meɖo haɖe o.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and realme against realme, and there shalbe famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diuers places.
Le ɣeyiɣi mawo me la, dukɔ atsi tsitre ɖe dukɔ ŋu, eye fiaɖuƒe atsi tsitre ɖe fiaɖuƒe ŋu. Dɔ ato le teƒe geɖewo, eye anyigba aʋuʋu le teƒe geɖewo.
8 All these are but ye beginning of sorowes.
Ke esiawo katã anye nu siwo do ŋgɔ na fukpekpe gã siwo le vava ge la ko.
9 Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Names sake.
“Le ɣeyiɣi mawo me la, amewo ade mi asi na yometitiwo kple wuwu gɔ̃ hã.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, ame geɖewo atra le xɔse la gbɔ, woade wo nɔviwo asi, eye woalé fu wo nɔewo vevie.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceiue many.
Aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo abɔ fũu, eye woana geɖewo atra mɔ.
12 And because iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of many shalbe colde.
Nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ axɔ aƒe ale gbegbe be, ame geɖewo ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu atsi.
13 But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued.
Ke ame si anɔ te ase ɖe nuwuwu la, woaɖee.
14 And this Gospel of the kingdome shalbe preached through the whole world for a witnes vnto all nations, and then shall the end come.
Azɔ la, woagblɔ fiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui sia le xexea me katã abe ɖaseɖiɖi na dukɔwo katã ene, ekema nuwuwu la ava.”
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.)
“Eya ta ne miekpɔ ‘ŋunyɔnu si hea gbegblẽ vɛ la’ le tsitre ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la, esi ƒe nya wogblɔ to Nyagblɔɖila Daniel dzi la, nya sia xlẽla nese egɔme,
16 Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines.
ekema ame siwo le Yudea la nasi ayi towo dzi.
17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch any thing out of his house.
Ame si le eƒe xɔ ta la megaɖi va anyigba alo age ɖe eƒe xɔ me be yeatsɔ naneke le eme o.
18 And he that is in the fielde, let not him returne backe to fetch his clothes.
Ame si le agble me la megatrɔ va tsɔ eƒe awu o.
19 And woe shalbe to them that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
“Baba na funɔwo kple ame siwo si vidzĩwo le le ŋkeke mawo me.
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.
Mido gbe ɖa be miaƒe sisigbe megadze vuvɔŋɔli alo Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke dzi o.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, xaxa si ƒomevi medzɔ kpɔ tso xexea me ƒe gɔmedzedze va se ɖe fifia o, eye magadzɔ kpɔ o la anɔ anyi.
22 And except those dayes should be shortened, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake those dayes shalbe shortened.
“Le nyateƒe me la, ne womeɖe le nenem ŋkekeawo dzi o la, amegbetɔƒome la katã atsrɔ̃. Ke meka ɖe edzi na mi be le Mawu ƒe ame tiatiawo ta la, woato ŋkeke siawo ɖe eme.
23 Then if any shall say vnto you, Loe, here is Christ, or there, beleeue it not.
Nenye be ame aɖe agblɔ na mi be, ‘Kristo la va ɖo,’ eye wòle afii alo afi mɛ alo ‘wokpɔe le afi aɖe la,’ migaxɔe se o,
24 For there shall arise false Christes, and false prophets, and shall shewe great signes and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceiue the very elect.
elabena aʋatsokristotɔwo kple aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo ava do, eye woawɔ nukunu gãwo siwo dzi Mawu ƒe ame tiatiawo gɔ̃ hã ate ŋu axɔ ase.
25 Beholde, I haue tolde you before.
Kpɔ ɖa, megblɔe na mi do ŋgɔ lo!
26 Wherefore if they shall say vnto you, Beholde, he is in the desert, goe not forth: Beholde, he is in the secret places, beleeue it not.
“Eya ta ne ame aɖe gblɔ na mi be, ‘Ele gbedzi afi aɖe la,’ migaɖe fu na mia ɖokuiwo be yewoayi aɖakpɔe ɖa o. Alo ne ame aɖe be, ‘Ebe ɖe xɔ gã me la,’ migaxɔe se o!
27 For as the lightning commeth out of the East, and is seene into the West, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
Abe ale si dzi kea dzo le ɣedzeƒe wokpɔnɛ le ɣetoɖoƒe ene la, nenema ke Nye Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe vava anɔ.
28 For wheresoeuer a dead carkeis is, thither will the Egles be gathered together.
Minyae be afi si nu kuku le la, afi ma akagawo nɔna.”
29 And immediatly after ye tribulations of those dayes, shall the sunne be darkened, and the moone shall not giue her light, and the starres shall fal from heauen, and ye powers of heaue shalbe shake.
“Le xaxaŋkeke mawo megbe teti ko la, “‘Ɣe ado viviti, eye ɣleti hã magaɖi o, ɣletiviwo age tso dziƒo, eye ŋusẽ siwo le dziƒo la aʋuʋu.’
30 And then shall appeare the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen: and then shall all the kinreds of the earth mourne, and they shall see the Sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with power and great glorie.
“Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe dzesi ado ɖe dziŋgɔli me, eye anyigbadzidukɔwo katã afa konyi. Tete woakpɔ Amegbetɔ Vi la wòanɔ lilikpo dzi aɖiɖi gbɔna le ŋusẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe gã aɖe me,
31 And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the foure windes, and from the one ende of the heauens vnto the other.
eye wòadɔ eƒe dɔlawo kple kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi sesĩe, eye woayi aɖaƒo ame titiawo nu ƒu tso ya eneawo dzi, tso dziƒo ƒe dzogoe ɖeka dzi yi bubu dzi.
32 Now learne the parable of the figge tree: when her bough is yet tender, and it putteth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere.
“Azɔ misrɔ̃ nu tso gboti la ŋuti. Nenye be tsi ɖo eƒe alɔwo me, eye aŋgbawo de asi dodo me la, ekema minyae be dzomeŋɔli ɖo vɔ.
33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is neere, eue at ye doores.
Nenema ke ne miekpɔ be nu siawo katã de asi dzɔdzɔ me la, ekema minyae be nye vava tu aƒe kpokploe.
34 Verely I say vnto you, this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be dzidzime sia nu mava yi o, va se ɖe esime nu siawo katã va eme.
35 Heauen and earth shall passe away: but my wordes shall not passe away.
“Dziƒo kple anyigba nu ava yi, gake nye nyawo anɔ anyi ɖaa.
36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only.
Ke hã la, ame aɖeke menya ŋkeke alo gaƒoƒo si tututu nu siawo ava eme o. Mawudɔla siwo le dziƒo hã menya o, Nye, Vi la gɔ̃ hã nyemenya o, negbe Fofo la ko.
37 But as the dayes of Noe were, so likewise shall the comming of the Sonne of man be.
“Abe ale si wòdzɔ le Noa ŋɔli ene la, nenema wòanɔ le Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe vava ɣeyiɣi me.
38 For as in the dayes before the flood, they did eate and drinke, marrie, and giue in mariage, vnto the day that Noe entred into the Arke,
Elabena le ŋkeke siwo do ŋgɔ na tsiɖɔɖɔ me la, ameawo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ nu nom, nɔ srɔ̃ ɖem, eye wotsɔa ame nana be woaɖe va se ɖe ŋkeke si dzi Noa ge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me,
39 And knewe nothing, till the flood came, and tooke them all away, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
eye womenya nu si gbɔna dzɔdzɔ ge o va se ɖe esime tsiɖɔɖɔ la va, eye wòkplɔ wo katã dzoe. Nenema wòanɔ le Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe vavaɣi.
40 Then two shall be in the fieldes, the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
“Ame eve anɔ agble me anɔ dɔ wɔm, woava akplɔ ɖeka adzoe agblẽ ɖeka ɖi.
41 Two women shalbe grinding at ye mill: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
Nyɔnu eve anɔ bli tum le te dzi, woatsɔ ɖeka agblẽ evelia ɖi.
42 Watch therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master will come.
“Eya ta minɔ ŋudzɔ, elabena mienya gbe si gbe miaƒe Aƒetɔ la ava o.
43 Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knewe at what watch the thiefe would come, he woulde surely watch, and not suffer his house to be digged through.
“Ne ame aɖe medi be fiafitɔ neva fi yeƒe nuwo le zã me o la, enɔa ŋudzɔ na fiafitɔ la ƒe vava.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the houre that ye thinke not, will the Sonne of man come.
Eya ta minɔ ŋudzɔ ɣeawo katã ɣi elabena, Nye, Amegbetɔ Vi la, mava le gaƒoƒo si me ame aɖeke manɔ mɔ kpɔm nam o.
45 Who then is a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate in season?
“Azɔ minye dɔla nuteƒewɔla kple nunyala, ame si eƒe aƒetɔ atsɔ ɖo eƒe aƒemetɔwo nu be wòana woƒe nuɖuɖu wo le enaɣi.
46 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Nenye be metrɔ gbɔ va kpɔ nye subɔlawo miele miaƒe dɔdeasi siawo wɔm anukwaretɔe la, mayra mi ŋutɔ.
47 Verely I say vnto you, he shall make him ruler ouer all his goods.
Le nyateƒe me la, matsɔe aɖo nye nuwo katã nu.
48 But if that euil seruant shall say in his heart, My master doth deferre his comming,
“Gake ne miewɔ abe dɔla vɔ̃ɖiwo ene hegblɔ na mia ɖokuiwo be, ‘Nye Aƒetɔ anɔ anyi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe hafi agbɔ,’
49 And begin to smite his fellowes, and to eate, and to drinke with the drunken,
ale be miede asi dɔla bubuawo ƒoƒo me hele nutsuɖuɖu kple ahamumu dzi la,
50 That seruaunts master will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not ware of,
miaƒe aƒetɔ ava le ŋkeke si miele mɔ kpɔm nɛ o kple gaƒoƒo si mienya o la dzi,
51 And will cut him off, and giue him his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
eye wòaƒo mi vevie. Emegbe la, ana woadrɔ̃ ʋunu mi kple alakpanuwɔlawo, eye afi ma miafa avi, aɖu aɖukli hã le.”
