Matthew 24
1 Leaving the Temple Courts, Jesus was walking away, when his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings.
Jisu Rangteenok nawa dokkhoom kah adi, heliphante loong ah heh reeni ra rumha no baat rumta, “Arah nok loong ah sok uh.”
2 “Do you see all these things?” was his answer. “I tell you, not a single stone will be left here upon another, which will not be thrown down,”
“Om,” heh ih liita, “Sen ih arah loong ah ese hemok et sok han. Ngah ih baat rumhala: arah doh jong esiit taan uh takah dakka ang ah; loongtang toonhaat cho ang ah.”
3 so, while Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came up to him privately and said: “Tell us when this will be, and what will be the sign of your Coming, and of the close of the age.” (aiōn g165)
Jisu Olip kong ni tong adi, heliphante loong ah husah ih heh jiinni thok rumta. Eno cheng rumta, “Baat he arah loong ah maatok doh angte ah, adoleh seng ih tumjih ruurang japchaat ih an raak tok nyia rangkuh thoon ah jat suh ah.” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied to them as follows: “See that no one leads you astray;
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Sen teeteewah naririh et ban sok an, eno o eh uh naktoom jen joonnaam han.
5 for, many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
Nga mendoh mih hantek thok ha eno neng ih chaang rum ah, ‘Kristo ah ngah!’ Eno erah loong ih warep mina mokwaan rum ah.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars; take care not to be alarmed, for such things must occur; but the end is not yet here.
Sen ih senre senko nyia haloot nah changrook ruurang chochaat an; enoothong nakmok sootsaam an. Erah loong ah elang jaatjaat eah enoothong erah suh rangkuh thoonla ih liijih tah angka.
7 For ‘nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,’ and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Deek akaan loong ah erookmui eah, hasong esiit ah esiit damdoh rookmui rum ah. Erah tokdoh noongrep nah ramtek khamle nyia hasah moh ah.
8 All this, however, will be but the beginning of the birth pangs!
Erah loong ah nootup suh kaphang sat arah likhiik ang ah.
9 When that time comes, they will give you up to persecution, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my Name.
“Erah lidoh sen ah khak hanno mih lak nah chamnaang thuk han etek haat et han rah nep je ah. Mirep ih sen ah nga tungthoidoh miksuk et han.
10 And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.
Warep ih neng tuungmaang ah erah tokdoh emat haat et rum ah; neng esiit esiit suh miksuk siikhaam mu rum ah.
11 Many false Prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;
Erah lidoh Tiitmoong baatte khowah loong ah dong ano warep mokwaan ah.
12 and, owing to the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
Emamah ih ethih loong ah jaatjaang ano, mina ehanko loong ah neng jaachi nah minchan mui ah ethoon eah.
13 Yet the man that endures to the end shall be saved.
Enoothong o mina hethoon tuk ih jen rongchap ah, erah mina ah ba pui ah.
14 And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the world as a witness to all nations; and then will come the end.
Eno arah Ruurang Ese Rangte Hasong tiit ah mongrep thoontang nah tumbaat ah, mirep suh haaki ang raangtaan ih ah; eno ba rangkuh thoon ah thok ha.
15 As soon, then, as you see ‘the Foul Desecration,’ mentioned by the Prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place,” (the reader must consider what this means)
“Khowah Daniel ih baatta tiit ah sen ih ‘Echoojih’ esiit japtup an. Erah langla esa hah nah chap ah.” (Ewette suh: samjat et an arah tumjih men et ha!)
16 “then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains;
“Eno o mina Judia ni angte loong ah kong ko nah toonsoon wangjih jaatjaat ang ah.
17 and a man on the housetop must not go down to get the things that are in his house;
O mina sep khoh ni angte rah ih nokmong nawa heh hukkhaak latoon kaat theng.
18 nor must one who is on his farm turn back to get his cloak.
O mina phek ni angte rah heh nok nah henyuh hekhat latoon wangtheng.
19 And alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days!
Tumthan echoojih ang ah erah tokdoh khoobaang nuh nyia sakjite loong raang ih ah!
20 Pray, too, that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
Rangte suh rangsoom an erah tiisoon saakaan ah hahook nyia naangtongja doh naktoom chaatmaat ah!
21 for that will be ‘a time of great distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of the world down to the present time’ — no, nor ever will again.
Tumeah erah tokdoh chamnaang ah echoojih angte, teewah dowa ih amah tuk ih babah uh lathaak angka rah ang raakte. Enoothong erah likhiik echoojih chamnaang erah dowa ih babah uh lakah angte.
22 And had not those days been limited, not a single soul would escape; but for the sake of ‘God’s People’ a limit will be put to them.
Enoothong Rangte ih erah cham anaang saakaan ah ethoosiit etta; heh ih emah lamok hoonta bah o uh tapui thengta. Heh ih danjeeta mina loong raangtaan ih, Rangte ih erah saakaan ah ethoosiit et ha.
23 And, at that time, if any one should say to you ‘Look! here is the Christ!’ or ‘Here he is!’, do not believe it;
“Eno, o ih bah uh sen suh amah mok ih baat han, ‘Sok, ‘Arah ni Kristo ah!’ Adoleh ‘therah ni thong heh ah!’ —erah suh sen lahanpi theng.
24 for false Christs and false Prophets will arise, and will display great signs and marvels, so that, were it possible, even God’s People would be led astray.
Tumeah emoong Kristo nyia emoong khowah loong ah edong eha; neng ih epaatjaajih mootkaat elong elong ah re rum ah, jen lang abah Rangte mina danje cho loong anep ma mok jen mokwaan jioh eah.
25 Remember, I have told you beforehand.
Boichaat an! Ngah ih saapoot maang chang di arah banbaat rumhala.
26 Therefore, if people say to you ‘He is in the Wilderness!’, do not go out there; or ‘He is in an inner room!’, do not believe it;
“Adoleh, mih ih sen suh baat han, ‘Sok an, heh bah phisaang hako ni—erah doh sen nakmok kah an; adoleh neng ih baat han, ‘Sok an, heh arah di hutongla!’ —erah jeng ah nakmok hanpi an.
27 for, just as lightning will start from the east and flash across to the west, so will it be with the Coming of the Son of Man.
Tumeah Mina Sah abah rangsumphaang saadongko nawa saanop ko ni jap ah likhiik ih raaha.
28 Wherever a dead body lies, there will the vultures flock.’
“Marah doh mang ang ah, erah doh hukunnuh loong lomkhoon ah.”
29 Immediately after the distress of those days, ‘the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the heavens,’ and ‘the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.’
“Erah cham anaang saakaan ah thoon damdam, rangsa ah nakdat eah, laaphiing ah takah phaakka, ritsih loong ah rang nawa datti ih raaha, rang nawa chaan aphaan loong ah edumdan eah.
30 Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heavens; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the heavens,’ with power and great glory;
Eno mina Sah raak ah jat suh rang nah jatsok etheng dong eha; eno hatoh nawa mina loong ah ehuung ih rum ah mina Sah ah rang nawa jiingmuung damdoh chaan aphaan nyia rangkaaka ih raaha ah tup rum ano ah.
31 and he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his People round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Liirong ah rengmot et ah, eno heh ih Rangsah loong ah hatoh rongbaji nah daapkaat ha, eno heh ih heh mina danjeecho loong ah hatoh rongrep nawa thutsiit ah.
32 Learn the lesson taught by the fig tree. As soon as its branches are full of sap, and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
“Puksak bang ih sen suh toom nyoot han. Bang phaak loong ah phang jang adi nyia hedem phangdem adi, sen ih jat han rangsoh thok hala eah.
33 And so may you, as soon as you see all these things, know that he is at your doors.
Erah likhiik, erah loong ah tup anno, sen ih jat an saapoot ah elang esuh thok nanah ih ehala eah.
34 I tell you, even the present generation will not pass away, till all these things have taken place.
Samthun et an erah loong ah amadi mina ething angte loong ah maang tek rumka ngakhoh nah ang raaha.
35 The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words shall never pass away.
Rang nyi hah abah emat eah, enoothong nga jengkhaap abah babah uh tamaka.
36 But about that Day and Hour, no one knows — not even the angels of Heaven, nor yet the Son — but only the Father himself.
“O eh uh tajatka, rangwuung saapoot babah thok ha eah—rang nawa rangsah adoleh heh Sah eh uh tajatka; heh Wah luulu ih ba jat ah.
37 For, just as in the days of Noah, so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
Mina Sah raak ah teewadi Nuah tokdi mamah angta erah likhiik we ang ah.
38 In those days before the flood they went on eating and drinking, marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark,
Juung nuungta jaakhoni mina loong jokjok phakphak nyia minuh miwah kuhoon ih, Nuah khoonkhuung ni tong wangta tuk ih tong rumta;
39 taking not notice till the flood came and swept them one and all away; and so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
ang abah uh mina loong ih juungnuung ih maangjap jaakhoni tajen dong thun rumta. Erah likhiik Mina Sah raaha tokdoh emamah ang ah.
40 At that time, of two men on a farm one will be taken and one left;
Erah tokdoh phek mootte wanyi dowa; wasiit ah toonsiit wan ano wasiit ah thiinhaat et ah.
41 of two women grinding with the hand-mill one will be taken and one left.
Minuh nunyi raanthut theng nawa; nusiit ah toonsiit et ah, nusiit ah thiinhaat et ah.
42 Therefore watch; for you cannot be sure on what day your Master is coming.
“Erah raangtaan ih, sen ih naririh ih ban sok an, tumeah sen Teesu tumjih sa doh raaha ah tajatkan.
43 But this you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Nok changte ehuh wang saapoot ah jatta bah, motseng ih tong ano heh nok ah tajap loongthuk thengta.
44 Therefore, do you also prepare, since it is just when you are least expecting him that the Son of Man will come.
Erah raangtaan ih, sen uh saarookwih banban ih tongjih jaatjaat, tumeah Mina Sah ah sen ih lathunkan saapoot doh mok raaha.
45 Who, then is that trustworthy, careful servant, who has been placed by his master over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
“Erah ang abah, laksuh jatwah nyia tuungmaangte o ah? Erah langla heh changte wah ih laksuh wahoh loong suh phak asat jamkotte et thiinha mih rah ang ah.
46 Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, shall find doing this.
Tumthan tenroon ang ah erah laksuh rah ah changte wangha tokdoh heh reerang ah japtup wangha doh ah!
47 I tell you that his master will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
Amiisak, Ngah ih baat rumhala, changte wah ih heh nyamka thoontang erah laksuh asuh ban sok thuk ah.
48 But, should he be a bad servant, and say to himself ‘My master is a long time in coming,’
Enoothong heh ah mimoong mok ang abah heh teeteewah suh li ah heh changte wah ah seek tabaam ngaak wang ra eah,
49 and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,
eno heh ih laksuh wahoh loong ah buh thom rum ah, eno khampa loong damdoh roong jok phaksah ah.
50 that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware,
Eno erah laksuh changte ah saasiit heh ih labanthooka nyia lajatka sa doh ngaakwang ha.
51 and will flog him severely, and assign him his place among the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Eno changte rah ih hechep hechep ih joopdook ano lonoite loong chamtheng adoh haat wan ah, heh pha ah phak ano huungriing wangtheng adoh ah.
