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 refi faako a asɔredan no si hɔ akɔ no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn pɛɛ sɛ wɔtwe nʼadwene kɔ adan ahorow a ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu no so.
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.
Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Wobedwiriw saa dan yi agu pasaa!”
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)
Yesu kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so. Ɔte hɔ no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Bere bɛn na nea woreka yi bɛba? Na nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛn na ɛbɛma yɛahu wo ba a wobɛsan aba bio no ne wiase awiei a ɛbɛba no?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Take heede that no man deceiue you.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ na obi annaadaa mo.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.
Nnipa bebree de me din bɛba abɛka se, wɔne Agyenkwa no, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
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.
Sɛ mote sɛ wɔafi akodi ase a, ɛnkyerɛ me ba a mɛsan aba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne. Ɛsɛ sɛ eyinom ba, nanso awiei no de, ennya mmae.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and realme against realme, and there shalbe famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diuers places.
Aman bɛsɔre wɔ aman so, na ahenni asɔre wɔ ahenni so, na ɔkɔm ne asasewosow bɛba mmeaemmeae.
8 All these are but ye beginning of sorowes.
Eyinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfiase.
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.
“Sɛ moyɛ me de nti, wɔbɛyɛ mo ayayade, na wɔakunkum mo wɔ wiase afanan nyinaa,
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
na mo mu pii bɛsan akɔ bɔne mu, na moayiyi mo ho mo ho ama, na moatentan mo ho mo ho.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceiue many.
Atoro adiyifo bebree bɛsɔre, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
12 And because iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of many shalbe colde.
Bɔne bɛdɔɔso wɔ wiase, na abrɛ nnipa dɔ a wɔwɔ no ase.
13 But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued.
Nanso wɔn a wobegyina pintinn akodu awiei no, wobegye wɔn nkwa.
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.
Na wɔbɛka asɛmpa a ɛfa Ahenni no ho no wɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa, na wɔate. Ɛno akyi ansa na awiei no bɛba.”
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.)
“Enti sɛ muhu ‘abusude a ɛde ɔsɛe ba’ a Odiyifo Daniel kaa ho asɛm sɛ egyina kronkronbea hɔ no a, ma nea ɔkenkan no nte ase,
16 Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines.
na wɔn a wɔte Yudea no nguan nkɔ Yuda mmepɔw so.
17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch any thing out of his house.
Mma obiara a ɔwɔ ne fi dan atifi no nsian nkɔfa biribiara mfi ne fi hɔ.
18 And he that is in the fielde, let not him returne backe to fetch his clothes.
Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuw so no nso nnsan wɔn akyi mmɛfa wɔn ntama.
19 And woe shalbe to them that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
Ɛbɛyɛ hu ama wɔn a wɔafa afuru ne wɔn a woturu mma saa bere no mu!
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.
Na mommɔ mpae na bere a ɛsɛ sɛ muguan no anyɛ awɔwbere anaa Homeda.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe.
Efisɛ awerɛhowdi a ɛbɛba no, bi nsii wɔ wiase abakɔsɛm mu da, na bi nso rensi da.
22 And except those dayes should be shortened, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake those dayes shalbe shortened.
“Nokware, sɛ wɔantwa saa nna no so a, ɛrenka obi.
23 Then if any shall say vnto you, Loe, here is Christ, or there, beleeue it not.
Sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo se, ‘Agyenkwa no wɔ ha anaasɛ ɔwɔ nohɔ anaa wayi ne ho adi wɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ’ a, munnnye nni.
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.
Atoro agyenkwanom ne atoro adiyifo bɛsɔre, na wɔayɛ anwonwade ahorow na sɛ ebetumi a, wɔadaadaa wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no mpo.
25 Beholde, I haue tolde you before.
Monhwɛ yiye, efisɛ maka biribiara akyerɛ mo!
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.
“Enti sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo se, ‘Agyenkwa no asan aba na ɔwɔ sare so a,’ monnhaw mo ho sɛ mobɛkɔ hɔ akɔhwehwɛ no. Anaasɛ nso wose, ‘Ɔde ne ho asie baabi a,’ munnnye nni!
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.
Na sɛnea anyinam twa fi apuei kɔ atɔe no, saa ara na sɛ Onipa Ba no reba a, ɛbɛyɛ ne no.
28 For wheresoeuer a dead carkeis is, thither will the Egles be gathered together.
Na nea funu wɔ no, ɛhɔ na apete bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano.
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.
“Saa mmere no awerɛhowdi no akyi pɛ “‘owia beduru sum, na ɔsram renhyerɛn; na nsoromma befi wim atetew ahwe, na wim abɔde behinhim.’
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.
“Afei Onipa Ba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛda adi wɔ ɔsoro. Na asase sofo nyinaa betwa agyaadwo bere a wobehu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔde tumi ne anuonyam nam ɔsoro omununkum mu reba.
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.
Na mɛsoma mʼabɔfo na wɔde torobɛnto a ano yɛ den aba abɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano fi ɔsoro ano akɔka asase ano.
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.
“Afei munsua biribi mfi borɔdɔma dua no ho asɛm no mu. Sɛ eyi mman foforo, san yi nhaban foforo a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ asusow abɛn.
33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is neere, eue at ye doores.
Saa ara nso na sɛ muhu sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa afi ase resisi a, mubehu sɛ me ba a mɛsan aba no abɛn, adu ɔpon ano.
34 Verely I say vnto you, this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
Nokware mise mo sɛ, awo ntoatoaso yi rentwa mu, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
35 Heauen and earth shall passe away: but my wordes shall not passe away.
Ɔsoro ne asase betwa mu akɔ, nanso me nsɛm de, ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only.
“Nanso da anaa dɔn ko a awiei no bɛba de, obiara nnim. Ɔsoro abɔfo ne Onyankopɔn Ba no mpo nnim. Agya no nko na onim.
37 But as the dayes of Noe were, so likewise shall the comming of the Sonne of man be.
Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛba no bɛyɛ sɛnea Noa bere so ɛyɛɛ no ara pɛ.
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,
Na sɛnea nna a edi nsuyiri no anim no nnipa didii, na wɔnomee, warewaree, de kosii da a Noa kɔɔ hyɛn no mu,
39 And knewe nothing, till the flood came, and tooke them all away, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
na nnipa annye nea ɛbɛba anni, kosii sɛ nsuyiri bɛfaa wɔn nyinaa kɔe no, saa ara na me ba a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
40 Then two shall be in the fieldes, the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
Saa bere no, wɔbɛfa mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afum no mu baako akɔ, na wɔagyaw ɔbaako.
41 Two women shalbe grinding at ye mill: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused.
Saa ara nso na mmea baanu a wɔwɔ fie renoa aduan no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agyaw ɔbaako.
42 Watch therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master will come.
“Enti monwɛn, efisɛ munnim da ko a Awurade bɛba.
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.
Sɛnea sɛ ofiwura nim bere a owifo bɛba a anka ɔbɛwɛn de abɔ ne ho ban afi akorɔmfo ho no,
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the houre that ye thinke not, will the Sonne of man come.
saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ musiesie mo ho, efisɛ Onipa Ba no bɛba bere a mo ani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
45 Who then is a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate in season?
“Hena ne ɔsomfo nokwafo nyansafo no, nea ne wura de ne fi mu asomfo ahyɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔmma wɔn aduan wɔ bere a ɛsɛ mu?
46 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Nhyira ne ɔsomfo a ne wura no bɛba abɛto no sɛ wayɛ nʼadwuma pɛpɛɛpɛ.
47 Verely I say vnto you, he shall make him ruler ouer all his goods.
Meka mo nokware se ɔde nea ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa na wahwɛ so!
48 But if that euil seruant shall say in his heart, My master doth deferre his comming,
Na sɛ ɔkɔyɛ ɔsomfo tirimuɔdenfo, na ɔka kyerɛ ne ho se, ‘Me Wura nnya mmae,’
49 And begin to smite his fellowes, and to eate, and to drinke with the drunken,
na ofi ase boro ne mfɛfo nkoa, na ɔne akɔwensafo didi, bow nsa a,
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,
Ɔsomfo no wura no bɛba da a nʼani nna so.
51 And will cut him off, and giue him his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
Ɔbɛtwe nʼaso dennen, na ɔde no akɔ baabi a wobu nyaatwomfo atɛn; ɛhɔ na osu ne setwɛre wɔ.
