< Matthew 24 >
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.
Bí Jesu ti ń kúrò ni tẹmpili, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n fẹ́ fi ẹwà tẹmpili náà hàn án.
2 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò ha rí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín gbogbo ilé yìí ni a yóò wó lulẹ̀, kò ní sí òkúta kan tí a ó fi sílẹ̀ lórí òmíràn, tí a kì yóò wó lulẹ̀.”
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what [will be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn )
Bí ó ti jókòó ní orí òkè Olifi, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Sọ fún wa nígbà wo ni èyí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀? Kí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì ìpadà wá rẹ, àti ti òpin ayé?” (aiōn )
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni tàn yín jẹ.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and will deceive many.
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ yóò wá ní orúkọ mi tí wọn yóò máa pe ara wọn ní Kristi náà. Wọn yóò ṣi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ lọ́nà.
6 And ye will hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Ẹ ó máa gbọ́ ìró ogun àti ìdágìrì ogun, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe jáyà nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò lè ṣe kí ó ma ṣẹlẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òpin kì í ṣe àkókò náà.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò dìde sí orílẹ̀-èdè, àti ìjọba sí ìjọba. Ìyàn àti ilẹ̀ mímì yóò wà ní ibi púpọ̀.
8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì jẹ́ ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìpọ́njú tí ó ń bọ̀.
9 Then will they deliver you up to be afflicted, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
“Nígbà náà ni a ó sì dá a yín lóró. A ó pa yín, a ó sì kórìíra yín ni gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin jẹ́ tèmi.
10 And then will many be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Àti pé, ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín yóò kọsẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ṣòfófó ara yín, ẹ̀yin yóò kórìíra ara yín pẹ̀lú,
11 And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.
ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn èké wòlíì yóò farahàn, wọn yóò tan ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn jẹ.
12 And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will become cold.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yóò wà níbi gbogbo, yóò sì sọ ìfẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ di tútù,
13 But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá forítì í dópin ni a ó gbàlà.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.
A ó sì wàásù ìyìnrere nípa ìjọba náà yìí ní gbogbo ayé ká, láti ṣe ẹ̀rí fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nígbà náà ni òpin yóò dé.
15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand, )
“Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí ìríra ‘ìsọdahoro, tí a ti ẹnu wòlíì Daniẹli sọ,’ tí ó bá dúró ní ibi mímọ́ (ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kà á kí ó yé e),
16 Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:
nígbà náà ni kí àwọn tí ń bẹ ni Judea sálọ sí orí òkè.
17 Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Kí ẹni tí ó wà lórí ilé rẹ̀ má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá mú ohunkóhun jáde nínú ilé rẹ̀.
18 Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Kí àwọn tí ó sì wà lóko má ṣe darí wá sí ilé láti mú àwọn aṣọ wọn.
19 And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Ṣùgbọ́n àánú ṣe mí fún àwọn obìnrin ti ó lóyún, àti fún àwọn tí ó ń fún ọmọ loyan ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì!
20 But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
Ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà kí sísá yín má ṣe jẹ́ ìgbà òtútù, tàbí ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Nítorí ìpọ́njú ńlá yóò wà, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ọjọ́ ayé wá títí di ìsinsin yìí irú rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ṣí.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there would no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
“Lóòótọ́, àfi bí a ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú, gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè yóò ṣègbé. Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ti àwọn àyànfẹ́ ni a ó fi ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú.
23 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
Nígbà náà, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Wo Kristi náà,’ tàbí pé ó ti farahàn níhìn-ín tàbí lọ́hùn ún, ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́.
24 For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so that, if [it were] possible, they would deceive the very elect.
Nítorí àwọn èké Kristi àti àwọn èké wòlíì yóò dìde. Wọn yóò sì ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu. Bí ó bá lè ṣe é ṣe wọn yóò tan àwọn àyànfẹ́ Ọlọ́run pàápàá jẹ.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
Wò ó, mo ti kìlọ̀ fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀.
26 Wherefore, if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
“Nítorí náà, bí ẹnìkan bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Olùgbàlà ti dé,’ àti pé, ‘Ó wà ní aginjù,’ ẹ má ṣe wàhálà láti lọ wò ó, tàbí tí wọ́n bá ní, ó ń fi ara pamọ́ sí iyàrá,” ẹ má ṣe gbà wọn gbọ́.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Nítorí bí mọ̀nàmọ́ná ti ń tàn láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ìwọ̀-oòrùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jẹ́.
28 For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be collected.
Nítorí ibikíbi tí òkú bá gbé wà, ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹyẹ igún ń kójọpọ̀ sí.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
“Lójúkan náà, lẹ́yìn ìpọ́njú ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, “‘ni oòrùn yóò ṣókùnkùn, òṣùpá kì yóò sì fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ hàn; àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run yóò já sílẹ̀, agbára ojú ọ̀run ni a ó mì tìtì.’
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
“Nígbà náà ni àmì Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì fi ara hàn ní ọ̀run, nígbà náà ni gbogbo ẹ̀yà ayé yóò káàánú, wọn yóò sì rí Ọmọ Ènìyàn tí yóò máa ti ojú ọ̀run bọ̀ ti òun ti ògo àti agbára ńlá.
31 And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig-tree; When its branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
“Nísinsin yìí, ẹ kọ́ òwe lára igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́. Nígbà tí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ bá ti ń yọ tuntun tí ó bá sì ń ru ewé, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn súnmọ́ tòsí.
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even at] the doors.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì rí i tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá ń ṣẹlẹ̀, kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ìpadàbọ̀ mi dé tán lẹ́yìn ìlẹ̀kùn.
34 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ìran yìí kì yóò kọjá títí tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Ọ̀run àti ayé yóò rékọjá, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ mi kì yóò rékọjá.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
“Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan ti ó mọ ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí òpin náà yóò dé, àwọn angẹli ọ̀run pàápàá kò mọ̀ ọ́n. Àní, ọmọ kò mọ̀ ọ́n, bí kò ṣe Baba mi nìkan ṣoṣo ló mọ̀ ọ́n.
37 But as the days of Noah [were], so will also the coming of the Son of man be.
Bí ó ṣe rí ní ìgbà ayé Noa, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì rí.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Nítorí bí àwọn ọjọ́ náà ti wà ṣáájú ìkún omi, tí wọ́n ń jẹ́ tí wọ́n ń mu, tí wọ́n ń gbéyàwó, tí wọ́n sì ń fa ìyàwó fún ni, títí tí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí Noa fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀.
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away: so also will be the coming of the Son of man.

40 Then will two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oko, a o mú ẹnìkan, a ó sì fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.
41 Two [women will be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Àwọn obìnrin méjì yóò jùmọ̀ máa lọ ọlọ pọ̀, a yóò mú ọ̀kan, a ó fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.
42 Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
“Nítorí náà, ẹ múra sílẹ̀, nítorí ẹ kò mọ ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yín yóò dé.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken up.
Ṣùgbọ́n, kí ẹ mọ èyí pé, baálé ilé ìbá mọ wákàtí náà tí olè yóò wá, ìbá máa ṣọ́nà, òun kì bá ti jẹ́ kí a já wọ ilé rẹ̀.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
“Ǹjẹ́ olóòtítọ́ àti ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ wo ni olúwa rẹ̀ lè fi ṣe olùbojútó ilé rẹ̀ láti bọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lójoojúmọ́?
46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
Alábùkún fún ni ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ti olúwa rẹ̀ dé tí ó sì bá a lórí iṣẹ́ ṣíṣe.

Nígbà náà ni olúwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ yóò wá ní ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí kò retí.
