< 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.
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 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.
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 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)
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 Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Take heede that no man deceiue 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 Christ, and shall deceiue many.
Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m, na-ekwu sị, ‘Abụ m Kraịst ahụ.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
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.
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 against nation, and realme against realme, and there shalbe famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diuers 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 All these are but ye beginning of sorowes.
Ma ihe ndị a niile bụ naanị mmalite ịta ahụhụ nke ga-abịa.
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.
“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 shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall 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 deceiue many.
Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị amụma ụgha ga-apụta. Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ mmadụ.
12 And because iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of many shalbe colde.
Nʼihi na ajọ omume bara ụba nʼebe niile, ịhụnanya ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼebe ibe ha nọ ga-ajụ oyi.
13 But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued.
Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
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.
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 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.)
“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 them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines.
Mgbe ahụ, ka ndị nọ na Judịa were ọsọ gbalaga nʼelu ugwu.
17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch any thing 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 he that is in the fielde, let not him returne backe to fetch his clothes.
Ka onye nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi nʼụlọ ya ịchịrị uwe ya.
19 And woe shalbe to them that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
Ma ịta ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị nwanyị di ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara nʼụbọchị ahụ
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.
Kpesienụ ekpere ike ka unu ghara ịgba ọsọ a nʼoge oke oyi, maọbụ nʼụbọchị izuike.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe.
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 except those dayes should be shortened, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake those dayes shalbe shortened.
“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 shall say vnto you, Loe, here is Christ, or there, beleeue 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 Christes, and false prophets, and shall shewe great signes and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceiue the very 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 Beholde, I haue tolde you before.
Lee, agwala m unu ihe ndị a, mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
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.
“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 commeth out of the East, and is seene into the West, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
Nʼihi na ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka amụma na-egbu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke a na-ahụ anya nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
28 For wheresoeuer a dead carkeis is, thither will the Egles be gathered together.
Matakwanụ na ebe ọbụla ozu dị, nʼebe ahụ ka udele na-ezukọta.
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.
“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 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.
“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 a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the foure windes, and from the one ende of the heauens vnto the other.
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 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.
“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 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is neere, eue at ye doores.
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 Verely I say vnto you, this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
Nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe ndị a niile aghaghị imezu tupu ọgbọ a agabiga.
35 Heauen and earth shall passe away: but my wordes shall not passe away.
Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga, ma okwu m enweghị ike ịgabiga.
36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only.
“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 dayes of Noe were, so likewise shall the comming of the Sonne of man be.
Ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Noa.
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,
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 knewe nothing, till the flood came, and tooke them all away, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
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 fieldes, the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
Mmadụ abụọ ga na-arụkọ ọrụ nʼubi ha, a ga-ewepụ otu hapụkwa onye nke ọzọ.
41 Two women shalbe grinding at ye mill: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
Ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ga na-akwọ nri na nkume igwe nri, a ga-ewere otu, ma hapụkwa nke ọzọ.
42 Watch therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master will come.
“Nʼihi nke a, na-echenụ nche, nʼihi na unu amaghị ụbọchị Onyenwe unu ga-abịa.
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.
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 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the houre that ye thinke not, will the Sonne of man come.
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 a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate 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 seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Ngọzị na-adịrị ohu ahụ, onye, mgbe onyenwe ya ga-alọghachi hụ na ọ na-eme otu a.
47 Verely I say vnto you, he shall make him ruler ouer all his goods.
Nʼezie asị m unu, ọ ga-eme ya onyeisi nke ihe niile o nwere.
48 But if that euil seruant shall say in his heart, My master doth deferre his comming,
Ma ọ bụrụ na ohu ahụ bụ onye ajọọ omume na-asị onwe ya, ‘Nna m ukwu anọọla ogologo oge,’
49 And begin to smite his fellowes, and to eate, and to drinke with the drunken,
ọ bụrụkwa na o bido iti ndị ohu ibe ya ihe, sorokwa ndị ọṅụ oke mmanya na-eri, na-aṅụ.
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,
Nna ukwu ohu ahụ ga-alọta nʼụbọchị ọ na-atụghị anya, nʼoge awa ọ na-amakwaghị.
51 And will cut him off, and giue him his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe weeping, and 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.
