Mataio 24
1 I KO Iesu hele ana aku iwaho, haalele aku la ia i ka luakini, a hele mai la kaua poe haumana e kuhikuhi ia ia i na hale o ka luakini.
Leaving the Temple Courts, Jesus was walking away, when his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings.
2 I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Ke ike nei anei oukou i keia mau mea a pau? He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e pau ia mau mea i ka hoohioloia; aole e koe kekahi pohaku maluna o kekahi pohaku.
‘Do you see all these things?’ was his answer. ‘I tell you, not a single stone will be left here on another, which will not be thrown down,’
3 I kona noho ana maluna o ka mauna Oliveta, hele malu aku la ka poe haumana io na la, i aku la, E hai mai oe ia makou, i ka manawa hea e hiki mai ai ia mau mea? Heaha hoi ka hoailona no kou hiki ana mai, a me ka hope o keia ao? (aiōn g165)
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)
4 Olelo mai la o Iesu ia lakou i aka la, E malama ia oukou, o hoopunipuni mai hekahi ia oukou.
Jesus replied to them, ‘See that no one leads you astray;
5 No ka mea, he nui na mea e holo mai ma ko'u inoa, me ka i ana mai, Owau no ka Mesia, a he nui no ka poe e hoopunipuniia e lakou.
for, many will take my name, and come saying “I am the Christ,” and will lead many astray.
6 E lohe auanei oukou i na kaua, a me na lono no na kaua; e ao ia oukou iho, mai hopohopo; no ka mea, e hiki io mai ia mau mea a pau, aole nae ia ka hopena.
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.
7 E ku e ana kekahi lahuikanaka i kekahi lahuikanaka; a o kekahi aupuni i kekahi aupuni: a e hiki mai no na wi, a me na ahulau, a me na olai i kela wahi a i keia wahi.
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 O keia mau mea ka hoomaka ana o na popilikia.
All this, however, will be but the beginning of the birth pangs!
9 la manawa, e haawi lakou ia oukou e hoomainoinoia mai ai, a e pepehi mai lakou ia oukou a make; a e inainaia mai hoi oukou e na lahuikanaka a pau no ko'u inoa.
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 because of me.
10 Alaila hoi, he nui na mea e hihia ana; a e kumakaia aku kekahi i kekahi, e inaiua aku hoi kekahi i kekahi.
And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.
11 E ku mai no hoi na kaula wahahee he nui loa, a e hoopunipuni aku hoi lakou i na kanaka he nui loa.
Many false prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;
12 No ka nui ana mai o ka hewa, e malili no ke aloha o ka lehulehu.
and, owing to the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13 Aka, o ka mea hoomanawanui aku a hiki i ka hopena, e ola ia.
Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
14 A e haiia'ku no keia euanelio o ke aupuni ma na wahi aukauaka a pau, i mea e ike ai na lahuikanaka a pau: alaila iho e hiki mai ka hopena.
This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a witness to all nations; and then will come the end.
15 Aia ike oukou i ka mea ino e hooneoneo ai e ku ana ma kahi hoano, ka mea i oleloia mai e ke kaula e Daniela; (o ka mea heluhelu, e pono e hoomaopopo iho oia, )
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)
16 Alaila, o ka poe e noho ana ma Iudea, e holo lakou ma na kuahiwi.
‘then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains;
17 O ka mea maluna o ka hale, mai iho iho ia e lawe i na mea oloko o kona hale.
and a man on the housetop must not go down to get the things that are in his house;
18 A o ka mea ma ka waena, mai hoi hou ia i hope e kii i kona kapa aahu.
nor must one who is on their farm turn back to get his cloak.
19 Auwe ka poe wahine hapai, a me ka poe hanai waiu ia mau la!
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
20 E pule hoi oukou, i holo ole ai oukou i ka wa hooilo, aole hoi i ka la Sabati.
Pray, too, that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
21 Alaila, e nui loa mai no ka popilikia, aohe popilikia me neia mai ke kumu mai o ka honua, aole hoi ma ia hope aku.
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.
22 Ina e hoopokole ole ia ua mau la la, ina aole loa e ola kekahi kanaka: aka, no ka poe i waeia, e hoopokoleia ua mau la la.
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.
23 Ina e olelo mai kekahi ia oukou ia manawa, E, eia maanei ka Media; a, aia ma o, mai manao oukou he oiaio.
At that time, if anyone should say to you “Look! Here is the Christ!” or “Here he is!”, do not believe it;
24 No ka mea, e ku ae no na Mesia wahahee, a me na kaula wahahee, a e hoike aku lakou i na hoailona nui, a me na mea kupanaha; a ina he mea hiki, ina e hoopunipuni hoi lakou i ka poe i waeia.
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.
25 Aia hoi, ua hai e au mamua ia oukou.
Remember, I have told you beforehand.
26 Nolaila, a i olelo mai lakou ia oukou, Aia la, ma ka waonahele oia, mai hele aku oukou ilaila: Aia hoi ia ma ke keena mehameha; mai manao oukou he oiaio.
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;
27 No ka mea, e like me ka uila i anapu mai ai, mai ka hikina mai, a hoomalamalama aku i ke komohana; pela no hoi ka hiki ana mai o ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
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.
28 No ka mea, i kahi e waiho ai ka heana, ilaila no e akoakoa ai na aeto.
Wherever a dead body lies, there will the vultures flock.
29 Mahope iho o ia mau la popilikia, e poeleele ana ka la, aole hoi e malamalama mai ka mahina, e haule iho hoi na hoku mai ka lani mai, a e hoonaueia na mea mana o ka lani.
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.
30 Alaila, e ikea mai ai ka hoailona no ke Keiki a ke kanaka ma ka lani; a e uwe na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua, aia ike lakou i ke keiki a ke kanaka e hele mai ana maluna o na ao o ka lani, me ka mana a me ka nani nui.
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;
31 A e hoouna aku ia i kana poe anela me ka pu kani nui, a e hoakoakoa mai lakou i kona poe i waeia, mai na makani eha, a mai kela aoao o ka lani a mai keia aoao hoi
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.
32 E ao oukou i ka olelonane no ka laau fiku; Aia opiopio na lala, a ulu ae na lau, na ike oukou, ke kokoke mai nei ke kau.
‘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.
33 Pela hoi, a ike oukou i keia mau mea a pau, alaila e ike oukou, na kokoke mai ia, aia ma ka puka.
And so may you, as soon as you see all these things, know that he is at your doors.
34 Ho oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, Aole e hala aku keia hanauna, a hiki e mai ua mau mea la a pau.
I tell you, even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.
35 E lilo ana ka lani a me ka honua; aka, aole loa e lilo ka'u mau olelo.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36 Aole i ike kekahi kanaka ia la a me ia hora, aole hoi na anela o ka lani; o ko'u Makua wale no.
But about that day and hour, no one knows – not even the angels of heaven, not even the Son – but only the Father himself.
37 Me na la o Noa, pela hoi ka hiki ana mai o ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
For, just as in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 No ka mea, i na la mamua o ke kaiakahinalii, ai lakou a inu hoi, mare lakou a hoopalau no ka mare ana, a hiki i ka la i komo ai o Noa iloko o ka halelana;
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,
39 Aole lakou i ike, a hiki mai ke kaiakahinalii, a pau loa ae la lakou i ka make: pela no hoi ka hiki ana mai o ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
taking not notice until the flood came and swept them one and all away; and so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Alaila, elua kanaka ma ka waena, e laweia kekahi, a e koe no kekahi.
At that time, of two men on a farm one will be taken and one left;
41 Elua wahine e wili palaoa ana, a laweia kekahi, a e koe no kekahi.
of two women grinding with a hand-mill one will be taken and one left.
42 Nolaila, e kiai oukou; no ka mea, aole oukou ike i ka hora e hiki mai ai ko oukou Haku.
Therefore watch; for you cannot be sure on what day your Master is coming.
43 Ua ike oukou i keia, ina paha i ike ka mea hale i ka wati e hiki mai ai ka aihue, ina ua kiai ia, i wawahi ole ia'i kona hale.
But this you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time of night the thief was coming, they would have been on the watch, and would not have allowed their house to be broken into.
44 Pela hoi oukou e noho ai me ka makaukau; no ka mea, i ka hora e manao ole ia'i e oukou, o hiki mai no ke Keiki a ke kanaka.
Therefore, you must also prepare, since it is just when you are least expecting him that the Son of Man will come.
45 Owai la ke kanwa malama pono, naanao, i hoonohoia'e e kona haku i luna no kona mau ohua e haawi aku i ai na lakou i ka manawa pono.
Who, then is that trustworthy, careful servant, who has been placed by their master over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 E pomaikai ana ua kauwa la, ke ike mai kona haku ia ia e hana ana pela i kona hoi ana mai.
Happy will that servant be whom their master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
47 He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e hoonoho kela ia ia maluna o kona waiwai a pau.
I tell you that their master will put them in charge of the whole of his property.
48 Aka, o ke kauwa ino la, i olelo iho iloko o kona naau, Ke hoohakalia nei kuu haku i kona hoi ana mai;
But, should the servant be a bad servant, and say to themselves “My master is a long time in coming,”
49 A ke hoomaka ia e pepehi i na hoa kauwa ona, a e ai pu a e inu pu me ka poe ona:
and begin to beat their fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,
50 E hoi hon mai no ka haku o ua kanwa la, i ka la i kiai ole ai ia, a me ka hora i manao ole ai ia;
that servant’s master will come on a day when they do not expect him, and at an hour of which they are unaware,
51 A e hookaawale aku kela ia ia, a e haawi aku i kana kuleana me ka poe hookamani; ilaila ka uwe ana a me ka uwi ana o na niho.
and will flog the servant severely, and assign them their place among the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
