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].
Si Jesus migawas sa templo ug mipadayon sa iyang lakaw. Ang iyang mga disipulo miduol kaniya ug gipakita kaniya ang mga gambalay sa templo.
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.”
Apan mitubag siya ug miingon kanila, “Wala ba ninyo makita kining tanan nga mga butang? Sa pagkatinuod sultihan ko kamo, walay usa ka bato nga mahibilin sa matag-usa nga dili pagatumpagon.”
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)
Samtang naglingkod siya sa Bukid sa Olibo, ang mga disipulo miduol kaniya sa tago ug miingon, “Sulithi kami, kanus-a mahitabo kini nga mga butanga? Unsa ang mahimong timailhan sa imong pagbalik ug sa kataposan sa kalibotan?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
Si Jesus mitubag ug miingon kanila, “Pag-amping nga walay makapahisalaag kaninyo.
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].
Kay daghan ang manganhi sa akong ngalan. Sila moingon, 'Ako mao ang Cristo' ug magagiya sa kadaghanan aron mahisalaag.
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!
Makadungog kamo ug mga gubat ug mga balita sa daghang gubat. Pagbantay nga dili kamo mangahadlok, kay kining mga butanga kinahanglan nga mahitabo; apan dili pa ang kataposan.
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.
Kay ang nasod mobarog batok nasod, ug gingharian batok gingharian. Adunay mga kagutom ug mga paglinog sa nagkadaiyang dapit.
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].
Apan kining tanan nga mga butang mao lamang ang sinugdanan sa kasakit sa pagpanganak.
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].
Unya sila motugyan kaninyo ngadto sa dakong kasakit ug mopatay kaninyo. Pagadumtan kamo sa tanang kanasoran tungod sa akong ngalan.
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.
Unya daghan ang mangapandol ug magluib sa usag usa, ug magdumotanay sa usag usa.
11 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
Daghang mini nga mga propeta ang motungha ug mogiya sa kadaghanan aron mahisalaag.
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].
Tungod kay ang kasaypanan magkadaghan, ang gugma sa kadaghanan mangabugnaw.
13 But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
Apan siya nga molahutay hangtod sa kataposan maluwas.
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.”
Kining ebanghelyo sa gingharian isangyaw sa tibuok kalibotan ingon nga pagpamatuod sa tanang mga nasod. Ug unya moabot na ang kataposan.
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: ]
Busa, sa dihang makita ninyo ang kangilngig sa pagkalaglag, nga gisulti ni propeta Daniel, nga magatindog didto sa balaang dapit (tugoti nga masabtan sa magbabasa),
16 When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
pasagdi kadtong mga anaa sa Judea nga moikyas ngadto sa kabukiran,
17 Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
pasagdi siya nga anaa sa ibabaw sa balay nga dili na monaog aron mokuha sa bisan unsa nga anaa sa iyang balay,
18 Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
ug pasagdi siya nga anaa sa uma nga dili na mobalik aron sa pagkuha sa iyang kupo.
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]
Apan alaot kadtong mga mabdos ug kadtong mga nagapasuso nianang mga adlawa!
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,
Pag-ampo nga ang inyong pagpanaw dili mahitabo sa tingtugnaw, ni sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay.
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].
Kay adunay moabot nga dakong kasakit, ingon nga wala pa mahitabo sukad sa sinugdanan sa kalibotan hangtod karon, wala pa, ni mahitabo pag-usab.
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.”
Gawas kung kadtong mga adlawa mapamubo, walay unod nga maluwas. Apan tungod ug alang sa mga pinili, kadtong mga adlawa mapamubo.
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!
Unya kung adunay moingon kaninyo, 'Tan-awa, ania ang Cristo!' o, 'Didto ang Cristo!' ayaw kini tuohi.
Kay ang mini nga mga Cristo ug mini nga mga propeta moanhi ug mopakita sa dagkong mga timailhan ug kahibulongan, nga mogiya aron mahisalaag, kung mahimo, bisan ang pinili.
25 Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
Tan-awa, ako kamong gisultihan sa wala pa ang panahon.
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],
Busa, kung sila moingon kaninyo, 'Tan-awa, ang Cristo anaa sa kamingawan,' ayaw pag-adto sa kamingawan. O, 'Tan-awa, anaa siya sa sulod sa lawak,' ayaw kini tuohi.
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].
Kay ingon nga ang kilat mosidlak gikan sa sidlakan ug magapangidlap padulong sa kasadpan, ingon niana usab ang pag-abot sa Anak sa Tawo.
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.)”
Bisan asa nga adunay patay nga mananap, didto magtapok ang mga buwitre.
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.)
Apan dihadiha human sa dakong kasakit niadtong mga adlawa mongitngit ang adlaw, ang bulan dili na mohatag sa iyang kahayag, mangahulog ang mga bituon gikan sa langit, ug ang mga gahom sa kalangitan mauyog.
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].
Unya motungha ang ilhanan sa Anak sa Tawo didto sa langit, ug ang tanan nga mga tribo sa kalibotan mamukpok sa ilang mga dughan. Makita nila ang Anak sa Tawo nga moabot diha sa panganod sa langit nga adunay gahom ug dakong himaya.
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.”
Ipadala niya ang iyang mga anghel uban sa dakong tingog sa trumpeta, ug tigomon nila ang iyang mga pinili gikan sa upat ka hangin, gikan sa usa ka tumoy sa langit ngadto sa uban.
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.
Pagkat-on gikan sa igera nga kahoy. Sa dihang mohumok na ang sanga ug manalingsing ang mga dahon, makabalo kamo nga ang ting-init haduol na.
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].
Busa, kung makita na ninyo kining tanan nga mga butang, masayran ninyo nga siya haduol na, sirad-i ang mga ganghaan.
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.
Sa pagkatinuod ako mosulti kaninyo, nga dili mahanaw kini nga kaliwatan, hangtod nga kining tanan nga mga butang mahitabo.
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.”
Ang langit ug ang yuta mangahanaw, apan dili gayod mahanaw ang akong mga pulong.
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].
Apan mahitungod nianang adlawa ug taknaa walay usa nga masayod, bisan ang mga anghel sa langit, ni ang Anak, apan ang Amahan lamang.
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].
Sama sa mga adlaw ni Noe, ingon niana ang pag-abot sa Anak sa Tawo.
Kay sama niadtong mga adlawa sa wala pa ang lunop nagangaon sila ug nag-inom, nagminyoay hangtod sa adlaw nga misulod si Noe sa arka,
ug wala silay nahibaw-an nga bisan unsa hangtod nga miabot ang lunop ug mianod kanila — ingon niana ang pag-abot sa Anak sa Tawo.
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].
Unya adunay duha ka lalaki ang anaa sa uma - ang usa pagakuhaon ug ang usa ibilin.
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.
Adunay duha ka babaye nga mogaling sa galingan — ang usa pagakuhaon ug ang usa ibilin.
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].
Busa pagbantay, kay wala kamo masayod sa adlaw kung kanus-a ang inyong Ginoo moabot.
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].
Apan hibaloi kini, nga kung nasayran pa sa agalon sa balay unsang orasa moabot ang kawatan, mobantay gayod siya ug dili siya motugot nga masulod ang iyang balay.
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].”
Busa kamo kinahanglan usab nga mangandam, kay ang Anak sa Tawo moabot sa takna nga wala ninyo gidahom.
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].
Busa kinsa ang matinud-anon ug maalamon nga sulugoon, nga gibutang sa iyang agalon sa iyang panimalay, aron mohatag kanila sa pagkaon sa saktong takna?
46 If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
Bulahan ang maong sulugoon, nga makita sa iyang agalon nga nagbuhat niana sa dihang siya moabot.
47 Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
Sa pagkatinuod mosulti ako kaninyo nga ang agalon mobutang kaniya ngadto sa tanan niyang gipanag-iyahan.
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.’]
Apan kung ang usa ka daotan nga sulugoon moingon sa iyang kasingkasing, 'Ang akong agalon nalangan,'
49 [So he] will begin to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk.
ug mosugod sa pagpangulata sa iyang kaubang mga sulugoon, ug mokaon ug moinom uban sa mga palahubog,
50 [Then] the house owner will come back at a time when the servant does not expect him [DOU].
ang agalon sa maong sulugoon moabot sa adlaw nga wala gidahom sa sulugoon, ug sa takna nga wala niya masayri.
51 He will punish that servant severely [HYP], (OR, cut that servant into two pieces) and he will put him where (the hypocrites/the ones who only pretended to be good) are put. In that place the people cry and grind their teeth [because they suffer very much].”
Ang iyang agalon mopikas kaniya ug himoon ang iyang kapalaran sama sa mga tigpakaaron-ingnon, diin adunay pagbakho ug pagkagot sa mga ngipon.
