Matthew 24
1 Jesus left the Temple [courtyard]. As he was walking along, [we] disciples came to him to ask him to note [how beautiful] the Temple buildings [were].
Eta templetic ilkiric Iesus retiratzen cen: eta hurbildu içan çaizcan bere discipuluac templeco edificioén hari eracustera.
2 He said to us, “These buildings that you are looking at [RHQ] [are wonderful, but] I want to tell you [something about them. They will soon be completely destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will completely destroy them]}. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {they will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another stone.”
Eta Iesusec erran ciecén, Eztacusquiçue gauça hauc guciac? eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, ezta gueldituren hemen harria harriaren gainean, deseguin eztadin.
3 [Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
Eta hura iarriric cegoela Oliuatzetaco mendi gainean, ethor cequizquión discipuluac appart, cioitela, Erraguc, noiz gauça hauc içanen dirade? eta cer signo hire ethortearenic eta munduaren finarenic içanen da? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Beguirauçue nehorc seduci etzaitzaten.
5 Many [people] will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah’, and they will deceive many [people].
Ecen anhitz ethorriren dirade ene icenean, erraiten dutela, Ni naiz Christ: eta anhitz seducituren duté.
6 You will hear about wars [that are close] and wars that are far away, but do not let that trouble you. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that the end [of the world] has come!
Eta ençunen dituçue guerlác eta guerla hotsac: beguirauçue trubla etzaitezten: ecen gauça hauc guciac eguin behar dirade, baina ezta oraino içanen fina.
7 [Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Ecen altchaturen da nationea nationearen contra, eta resumá resumaren contra: eta içanen dirade içurriteac, eta gosseteac, eta lur ikaratzeac lekutic lekura.
8 These things will happen first. Then there will be other things that [will happen before I return. What will happen will be like the first pains] of childbirth MET].
Baina hauc guciac dolore hatseac dirade.
9 At that time [people who oppose you] will take you to [the authorities, who] will mistreat you and kill you. You will be hated by [people who live in] all nations [PRS] {[People who live in] all nations [PRS] will hate you} because [you believe in me][MTY].
Orduan liuraturen çaituzte afflictionetara, eta hilen çaituzte, eta gende guciéz gaitz etsiac içanen çarete ene icenagatic.
10 Also, many [people] will stop believing [in me because of the way they will suffer]. They will betray each other and will hate each other.
Eta orduan scandalizaturen dirade anhitz, eta batac bercea tradituren du, eta batac bercea gaitzetsiren du.
11 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
Eta anhitz propheta falsu altchaturen dirade eta seducituren dute anhitz.
12 Because there will be more and more [people] who will disobey [God’s] laws [PRS], many [people] will no longer [MET] love [their fellow believers] [PRS].
Eta ceren multiplicaturen baita iniquitatea, hozturen da anhitzen charitatea.
13 But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
Baina norc perseueraturen baitu finerano, hura saluaturen da.
14 Furthermore, the good message about my ruling over people’s lives will be preached in every part of the world, in order that people of all ethnic groups may hear it. Then the end [of the world] will come.”
Eta resumaco Euangelio haur predicaturen da mundu vniuersoan, natione guciey testimoniagetan: eta orduan ethorrico da fina.
15 “[But before the world ends], the disgusting person who will defile [the] holy [Temple and cause people to abandon it will stand in the Temple. Daniel the prophet spoke and wrote] about that [long ago]. May everyone who reads [this] pay attention [to the following warning from me: ]
Dacussaçuenean bada desolationearen abominationea, Daniel prophetáz erran içan dena, leku sainduan dagoela (iracutzen duenac adi beça)
16 When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
Orduan Iudean diratenéc, ihes albeileguite mendietarát:
17 Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
Eta etche gainean datena, ezalbeiledi iauts deusen bere etchetic eramaitera:
18 Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
Eta landán datena, ezalbeiledi guibelerat itzul bere abillamenduén hartzera.
19 I [feel] very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Dohain-gaitz emazte içorrén eta eredosquiten duqueitenén egun hetan.
20 Pray that you will not have to flee (in the winter/in the rainy season) [when it will be hard to travel]. [People who think that God never allows anyone to do any work on] our day of rest [will not help you as you flee, so] pray also that you will not have to flee on such a day,
Othoitz eguiçue bada çuen ihes eguitea eztén neguän, ezeta Sabbath egunean.
21 because people will suffer very severely [when those things happen]. People have never suffered that severely since [God] created the world until now, and no one will ever [suffer like that again].
Ecen tribulatione handia orduan içanen da, nolacoric ezpaita içan munduarén hatsetic oraindrano, ez içanen.
22 If [God had not decided to] shorten that time [MTY] [when people will suffer so much], everyone [LIT] would die. But [he has decided to] shorten it because [he is concerned] about [the people] whom [he] has chosen.”
Eta baldin laburtu içan ezpalirade egun hec nehor salua ezlaite, baina elegituacgatic, egun hec laburturen dirade.
23 “[At that time] people will appear [who will] falsely [say that they are] the Messiah or [that they are] prophets. They will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do), in order to deceive people. They will even try [to see] if [it is] possible to deceive [you people whom God has] chosen. So, at that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look, here [is] the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Over there is the Messiah!’ do not believe it!
Orduan baldin nehorc badarraçue, Huná hemen Christ, edo han: ezalbeitzineçate sinhets.
Ecen altchaturen dirade christ falsuac, eta propheta falsuac, eta eguinen duté signo handi eta miraculu: bay possible baliz, eleguituen-ere seducigarri.
25 Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
Huná, aitzinetic erran drauçuet.
26 So if someone says to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is in the desolate area!’ do not go there. [Likewise, if someone says to you], ‘Look, he is in a secret room!’ do not believe [that person],
Beraz baldin nehorc erran badieçaçue, Hará, desertuan da, etzaiteztela ilki, Hará, gambratchoetan da: ezteçaçuela sinhets.
27 because just like lightning flashes from the east to the west [and people everywhere can] see it [SIM], when [I], the one who came from heaven, return again, [everyone will see me].
Ecen hala nola chistmista ilkiten baita Orientetic, eta eracusten Occidenterano: hala içanen da guiçonaren Semearen ethortea-ere.
28 [When I return, it will be as obvious to everyone as the fact that] wherever you see vultures gathering, you know that there will be an animal carcass [MET] there. (OR, Just like the vultures gather together wherever there is an animal carcass, God will punish sinful people wherever they are.)”
Ecen non-ere içanen baita sarrasquia, hara bilduren dirade arranoac-ere.
29 “Immediately after many people have suffered during those days, [the universe will become dark]. The sun will become dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken. (OR, And the spiritual beings in space will be deposed.)
Eta bertan egun hetaco tribulationearen ondoan, iguzquia ilhunduren da, eta eztu emanen ilharguiac bere erguia, eta içarrac eroriren dirade cerutic, eta ceruètaco verthuteac ikaraturen dirade.
30 After that, something [will be seen] {[people will observe something]} in the sky that indicates that [I], the one who came from heaven, [am returning to the earth]. Then [unbelieving people from] all ethnic groups of the earth will [mourn because they will be afraid] of [God punishing them]. They will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming on the clouds with power and great glory [as I return to the earth].
Eta orduan aguerturen da guiçonaren Semearen signoa ceruän: eta orduan plaignituren dirade lurreco leinu guciac, eta ikussiren dute guiçonaren Semea datorquela ceruco hodeyetan bothere eta gloria handirequin.
31 I will send my angels [to the earth] from everywhere in the heavens. [They will be] blowing trumpets loudly. [Then] from throughout the whole earth [DOU] they will gather the people whom I have chosen.”
Eta igorriren ditu bere Aingueruäc trompetta soinu handirequin, eta bilduren dituzte haren elegituac laur haicetaric, ceruèn bazter batetic hayén berce bazterrererano.
32 “[Now] I [want you to] learn something [from] this parable about [how] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when the buds [of a fig tree] become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Bada ficotzétic ikas eçaçue comparationea, ia haren adarra ninicatzen denean eta hostatzen, badaquiçue vdá hurbil dela.
33 Similarly, when you see all these things that I [have just described happening], you will know that [the time for me to return] is very close [MET].
Hala çuec-ere dacusquiçuenean gauça hauc guciac, albeitzinequite écen borthan hurbil datela.
34 Keep this in mind: All of these events will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, eztela iraganen mende haur, gauça hauc gucioc eguin daitezqueno.
35 [You can be certain that these] things that I have told [you] about will happen. You can be more certain of that than you can be certain that the earth and sky [LIT] will continue to exist.”
Ceruä eta lurra iraganen dirade, baina ene hitzac eztirade iraganen.
36 “But neither I, nor any other person, nor any angel in heaven, knows either the day or the hour [when the things that I have told you about will happen]. Only [God, my] Father, [knows].
Baina egun harçaz eta orenaz den becembatean, nehorc eztaqui, ez ceruètaco Aingueruèc-ere, ene Aitac berac baicen.
37 It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, [the people] did not know that [anything bad would happen] to them. Before the flood waters covered the earth, [the people] were eating and drinking [as usual]. Some men were marrying women and [some parents] were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all [those who were not in the boat]. Similarly, [the unbelieving people will not know] when [I, the one who came from heaven], will return, [and they will not] be [expecting me].
Baina nola baitziraden Noeren egunac, hala içanen da guiçonaren Semearen ethortea-ere.

40 When I [return], I [will not take all people up to heaven. I will take only those who trust in me. For example], two [people] will be in the fields. One of them will be taken {[I] will take one of them} up [to heaven] and the other [person] will be left {and I will leave the other [person]} [here to be punished].
Orduan biga içanen dirade landán: bata recebituren da, eta bercea vtziren.
41 [Similarly], two [women] will be at the mill grinding grain. One of them will be taken up [to heaven] and the other will be left.
Biguec ehoren dute errotán: bata recebituren da, eta bercea vtziren.
42 So, because you do not know what day [I], your Lord, will return [to the earth], you need to be ready [for me to return at any time].
Veilla eçaçue bada, ecen eztaquiçue cer orduz çuen Iauna ethorteco den.
43 You know that if the owners of a house knew at what time in the night thieves would come, they would be awake and prevent the thieves from breaking into their houses. Similarly, I [will come just like unexpectedly as a thief].
Eta hura iaquiçue, ecen baldin baleaqui aitafamiliác cein goait aldiz ohoina ethor leiten, veilla liroela, eta ezliroela bere etchea çulhatzera vtzi.
44 So you need to be ready [for my return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will return [to the earth] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Halacotz çuec-ere çaudete prest: ecen vste eztuçuen orduan guiçonaren Semea ethorriren da.
45 “Think about what every faithful and wise servant is like [RHQ]. The house owner appoints one servant to supervise the other servants. He tells him to give them food at the proper times. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Eta cein da cerbitzari leyala eta çuhurra, nabussiac muthillén compainiaren gaineco eçarri duena, hæy demborán vitança deyençat?
46 If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
Dohatsu da cerbitzari hura bere nabussiac dathorrenean, hala eguiten eridenen duena.
47 Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, ecen bere on gucién gaineco hura eçarriren duela.
48 But a wicked servant might say to himself, ‘The owner [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably] will not return soon [and find out what I am doing.’]
