< Matthew 24 >

1 As Jesus came out from the temple courts and was walking away, his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
Utuu Yesuus mana qulqullummaatii baʼee deemaa jiruu barattoonni isaa gamoowwan mana qulqullummaa isatti argisiisuuf gara isaa dhufan.
2 But Jesus said to them, “You see all these buildings? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left here upon another; all of them will be torn down.”
Innis, “Waan kana hunda argituu? Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; asitti dhagaan dhagaa irratti hafu tokko hin jiru; hundi isaa iyyuu ni diigama” jedhee deebiseef.
3 Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign of yoʋr coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
Utuu Yesuus Tulluu Ejersaa irra taaʼee jiruu, barattoonni isaa kophaa isaanii gara isaa dhufanii, “Mee nutti himi; wanni kun yoom taʼa? Mallattoon dhufa keetii fi mallattoon dhuma barichaa maali?” jedhan. (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, “Make sure no one leads you astray.
Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Akka namni tokko iyyuu isin hin gowwoomsineef of eeggadhaa.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.
Namoonni hedduun, ‘Ani Kiristoos’ jedhanii maqaa kootiin ni dhufuutii; nama hedduus ni gowwoomsu.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Do not be alarmed, for all these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
Isin waaʼee waraanaatii fi oduu waraanaa ni dhageessu; garuu akka hin rifanne of eeggadhaa. Wanni akkanaa taʼuu qabaatii; dhumni garuu amma iyyuu hin geenye.
7 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Sabni sabatti, mootummaanis mootummaatti ni kaʼa. Beellii fi sochiin lafaa iddoo garaa garaatti ni taʼa.
8 But all these things are the beginning of the labor pains.
Garuu kun hundinuu jalqaba ciniinsuu daʼumsaa ti.
9 “Then they will hand you over to be tortured and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.
“Isaan dabarsanii dhiphinatti isin kennu; isin ajjeesus; sababii maqaa kootiifis saba hundaan ni jibbamtu.
10 Many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
Yeroo sanatti namoonni baayʼeen ni gufatu; dabarsanii wal kennu; wal jibbus;
11 Many false prophets will rise up and lead many astray.
raajonni sobaa hedduun ni dhufu; nama hedduus ni gowwoomsu.
12 Because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold,
Sababii baayʼina hamminaatiif jaalalli namoota baayʼee ni qabbanaaʼa;
13 but he who endures to the end will be saved.
namni hamma dhumaatti jabaatee dhaabatu garuu ni fayya.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Wangeelli mootummaa kunis akka saba hundaaf dhuga baʼumsa taʼuuf addunyaa hunda keessatti ni lallabama; ergasiis dhumni sun ni dhufa.
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand),
“Kanaafuu, ‘Isin yommuu wanni jibbisiisaan badiisa fidu’kan Daaniʼel raajichi waaʼee isaa dubbate sun iddoo qulqulluu dhaabatee argitanitti, namni dubbisu haa hubatu;
16 “then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
yommus warri Yihuudaa keessa jiran tulluuwwanitti haa baqatan.
17 He who is on the housetop must not come down to get anything out of his house.
Namni bantii manaa irra jiru tokko iyyuu waan tokko illee mana isaatii fudhachuuf gad hin buʼin.
18 And he who is in the field must not turn back to get his garments.
Namni lafa qotiisaa keessa jiru tokko iyyuu uffata isaa fudhachuuf duubatti hin deebiʼin.
19 Woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
Bara sana keessa dubartoota ulfaatii fi haadhota hoosisaniif wayyoo!
20 Pray that your flight will not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
Garuu akka baqachuun keessan ganna keessa yookaan Guyyaa Sanbataatiin hin taaneef kadhadhaa.
21 For at that time there will be a great tribulation unlike any other from the beginning of the world until now, and it will never be equaled again.
Yeroo sanatti dhiphinni guddaan isaa ni dhufaatii; dhiphinni akkasiis uumama addunyaatii jalqabee hamma ammaatti hin dhufne; siʼachis gonkumaa hin dhufu.
22 If those days had not been cut short, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the chosen those days will be cut short.
“Utuu guyyoonni sun gabaabbachuu baatanii silaa namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu ture; garuu sababii filatamtootaatiif guyyoonni sun ni gabaabbatu.
23 If anyone says to you at that time, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Here he is!’ do not believe him.
Yeroo sana yoo namni kam iyyuu, ‘Ilaa, Kiristoos as jira!’ yookaan ‘Achi jira!’ isiniin jedhe, hin amaninaa.
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
Kiristoosonni sobaatii fi raajonni sobaa ni kaʼuutii; isaanis yoo dandaʼameef filatamtoota illee gowwoomsuuf jedhanii mallattoo gurguddaa fi dinqii ni hojjetu.
25 Behold, I have told you in advance.
Kunoo ani duraan dursee isinitti himeera.
26 So if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
“Kanaafuu yoo isaan, ‘Kuunnoo, inni gammoojjii keessa jira’ isiniin jedhan achi hin dhaqinaa; yookaan yoo isaan, ‘Kunoo, mana keessa gola jira’ isiniin jedhan hin amaninaa.
27 For just as lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Akkuma bakakkaan baʼa biiftuutii buʼee hamma lixa biiftuutti mulʼatu sana dhufaatiin Ilma Namaas akkasuma taʼa.
28 For where the carcass is, there the vultures will be gathered together.
Iddoo raqni jiru kamitti iyyuu gogocorroowwan walitti qabamu.
29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
“Akkuma dhiphinni bara sanaa darbeen, “‘Aduun ni dukkanoofti; jiʼis ifa ishee hin kennitu; urjiiwwan samii irraa ni harcaʼu; humnoonni samiis ni raafamu.’
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
“Ergasii mallattoon Ilma Namaa samii irratti ni mulʼata; saboonni addunyaa hundinuus ni booʼu. Isaanis utuu Ilmi Namaa duumessa samiitiin humnaa fi ulfina guddaadhaan dhufuu ni argu.
31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Innis ergamoota isaa sagalee malakataa guddaa isaatiin erga; isaanis filatamtoota isaa kanneen handaara samiiwwanii tokko irraa hamma isa kaaniitti jiran bubbeewwan afran irraa walitti qabu.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and put out leaves, you know that summer is near.
“Fakkeenya kana muka harbuu irraa baradhaa; yommuu dameen isaa latee baala baafatutti akka bonni dhiʼaate ni beektu.
33 So also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the very gates.
Akkasuma isinis yommuu waan kana hunda argitanitti akka inni dhiʼaate, akka balbala irras gaʼe ni beektu.
34 Truly I say to you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have taken place.
Ani dhuguma isinittin hima; hamma wanni kun hundi taʼutti dhaloonni kun hin darbu.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.
Samii fi lafti ni darbu; dubbiin koo garuu gonkumaa hin darbu.
36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels of heaven, but only my Father.
“Waaʼee guyyaa sanaa yookaan waaʼee saʼaatii sanaa garuu Abbaa qofatu beeka malee namni tokko iyyuu hin beeku; ergamoonni samii irraa iyyuu hin beekan; yookaan Ilmi iyyuu hin beeku.
37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Akkuma bara Nohi taʼe sana yeroo dhufaatii Ilma Namaattis akkasuma ni taʼa.
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark.
Bara bishaan badiisaatiin dura ture sana, hamma gaafa Nohi doonii seeneetti namoonni nyaachaa, dhugaa, fuudhaa, heerumaas turaniitii.
39 They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Isaanis hamma bishaan badiisaa dhufee hunda isaanii fudhatetti waan dhufuuf jiru hin beekne. Yeroo Ilmi Namaa dhufuttis akkasuma taʼa.
40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
Gaafas namoonni lama lafa qotiisaa keessa hojjetu; inni tokko ni fudhatama; kaan immoo ni hafa.
41 Two women will be grinding grain at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
Dubartoonni lama dhagaa daakuutiin daaku; tokko ni fudhatamti; kaan immoo ni hafti.
42 Therefore keep watch, for you do not know in what hour your Lord is coming.
“Kanaafuu isin dammaqaa; Gooftaan keessan guyyaa kam akka dhufu hin beektaniitii.
43 But know this: If the master of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Garuu waan kana hubadhaa: Abbichi manaa utuu yeroo kamitti akka hattuun dhuftu beekee silaa dammaqee eeggata malee akka manni isaa cabsamee seenamu itti hin dhiisu ture.
44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect him.
Kanaafuu isinis akkasuma qophaaʼuu qabdu; Ilmi Namaa saʼaatii isin hin eegnetti dhufaatii.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
“Egaa garbichi amanamaa fi ogeessi kan gooftaan isaa akka inni nyaata isaanii yeroo malutti isaanii kennuuf jedhee garboota mana isaa jiraatan irratti isa muudu eenyu?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when he comes.
Garbichi gooftaan isaa yommuu deebiʼutti utuu inni akkasuma hojjetuu isa argu sun eebbifamaa dha.
47 Truly I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
Ani dhuguma isinitti nan hima; inni qabeenya isaa hunda irratti isa muuda.
48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’
Garbichi sun garuu yoo hamaa taʼe, ‘Gooftaan koo yeroo dheeraa tura’ ofiin jedhee
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
garboota isa wajjin tajaajilan tumuu, machooftota wajjin immoo nyaachuu fi dhuguu jalqaba.
50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee,
Gooftaan garbicha sanaa guyyaa inni isa hin eegnee fi saʼaatii inni hin beeknetti ni dhufa.
51 and will cut him in two and assign his portion to be with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Innis isa kukkuta; fakkeessitoota keessattis isa ramada; achittis booʼichaa fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa.
