< Mak 13 >

1 Mgbe o sitere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ na-apụ, otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya siri ya, “Onye ozizi, ị hụkwara otu ụlọ a si maa mma. Lee ụdị nkume buru ibu e ji wuo ha.”
And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!
2 Jisọs zara ha, “Ị hụrụ ụlọ ukwu ndị a? Oge na-abịa mgbe ọ na-adịghị nkume ga-atụkwasị nʼelu ibe ya, nʼihi na a ga-ala ha niile nʼiyi.”
And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.
3 Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼelu Ugwu Oliv, na ncherita ihu ụlọnsọ ukwu, Pita na Jemis, na Jọn na Andru bịakwutere ya na nzuzo jụọ ya sị,
And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,
4 “Gwa anyị, olee mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu? Gịnị ga-abụkwa ihe ịrịbama izi na o ruola mgbe ha niile ga-emezu?”
Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.
5 Jisọs malitere ịgwa ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu.
And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.
6 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m sị, ‘Abụ m ya.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.
7 Mgbe unu nụrụ maka agha na akụkọ agha dị iche iche, unu atụla egwu. Ihe ndị a aghaghị ime ma oge ọgwụgwụ ihe niile erubeghị.
And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.
8 Mba ga-ebili megide mba ibe ya. Alaeze ga-ebilikwa megide alaeze ibe ya. Ala ọma jijiji na ụnwụ ga-adị nʼebe dị iche iche. Ihe ndị a bụ mmalite nke oke ihe mgbu.
Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.
9 “Unu aghaghị ịbụ ndị nọ na nche. A ga-enyefe unu nʼaka ndị na-achị achị, pịakwa unu ihe nʼụlọ ekpere. Nʼihi m, unu ga-eguzo nʼihu ndịisi ọchịchị na ndị eze dị ka ndị ama nye ha.
But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.
10 Aghaghị ibu ụzọ kwusaa oziọma a nye mba niile.
And the good news has first to be given to all the nations.
11 Ma mgbe ha jidere unu kpụta unu nʼụlọikpe, unu echegbula onwe unu banyere ihe unu ga-ekwu, kwuonụ naanị ihe batara unu nʼọnụ unu ikwu nʼoge ahụ. Nʼihi na ọ bụghị unu ga-ekwu okwu, kama ọ bụ Mmụọ Nsọ ga-esite nʼọnụ unu kwuo okwu.
And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.
12 “Nwanne ga-arara nwanne ya nye ka e gbuo ya. Nna ga-ararakwa nwa ya nye. Ụmụ ga-ebili megide ndị mụrụ ha mee ka e gbuo ha.
And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
13 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m, ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.
14 “Mgbe unu hụrụ ihe arụ nke na-eweta mbibi ka ọ na-eguzo nʼebe ọ na-ekwesighị(onye na-agụ ya nwee nghọta), mgbe ahụ, ka ndị nọ na Judịa were ọsọ gbalaga nʼelu ugwu
But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:
15 Onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ụlọ ya ghara ịrịdata maọbụ baa nʼime ụlọ ya iwepụta ihe ọbụla.
And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:
16 Ka onye ọbụla nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi ịchịrị uwe ya.
And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
17 Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị dị ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara, nʼụbọchị ahụ.
And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.
18 Kpeenụ ekpere ka ihe ndị a hapụ ime nʼoge oke oyi.
And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.
19 Nʼihi na oke mkpagbu nke ụbọchị ahụ ga-abụ nke na-adịbeghị na mbụ site na mgbe Chineke kere ụwa ruo ugbu a. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ga-adịkwa ka ya ọzọ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.
20 “Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị emeghị ka ụbọchị ndị ahụ dị mkpụmkpụ, ọ dịghị onye a ga-azọpụta. Ma nʼihi ndị ya, ndị ọ họpụtara, o meela ka ụbọchị ndị ahụ dị mkpụmkpụ.
And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.
21 Nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Lee, Kraịst nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ,’ unu ekwela.
And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
22 Nʼihi na ndị nzọpụta ụgha na ndị amụma ụgha, ga-apụta ma rụọkwa ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama dị iche iche iji duhie ndị a họpụtara ma ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ekwe mee.
Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.
23 Ya mere, unu nọrọ na nche; nʼihi na agwala m unu ihe niile mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
24 “Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, nke na-esote oge mkpagbu ahụ, “‘anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị, ọnwa agaghị enyekwa ìhè ya;
But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,
25 kpakpando ga-esi na mbara eluigwe na-ada, ike niile dị na mbara eluigwe ga-amakwa jijiji.’
And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
26 “Nʼoge ahụ, ha ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ, ka ọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii nʼoke ike na ebube.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-ezipụ ndị mmụọ ozi ya ka ha kpokọta ndị a họpụtara site nʼakụkụ anọ niile nke ụwa. Site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa ruo na nsọtụ niile nke eluigwe.
And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.
28 “Ugbu a, mụtanụ ihe site nʼosisi fiig. Mgbe ọbụla alaka ya dị nro malite iwepụta akwụkwọ ndụ, unu maara na ọkọchị dị nso.
Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;
29 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, mgbe unu hụrụ ihe ndị a niile ka ha bidoro ime, matanụ na ọ nọ nso, ọ nọkwa nʼọnụ ụzọ.
Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
30 Ana m agwa unu eziokwu na ọgbọ a agaghị agabiga tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo.
Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
31 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga ma okwu m ga-adịgide.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
32 “Ma banyere ụbọchị ahụ, maọbụ oge awa ahụ, o nweghị onye ọbụla maara, ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ozi nke eluigwe, maọbụ Ọkpara ahụ, kama naanị Nna ahụ maara ya.
But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.
33 Ebe ọ bụ na unu amaghị mgbe ha ga-emezu, nọrọnụ na nche! Mụrụkwanụ anya!
Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
34 Ọ dị ka nwoke hapụrụ ụlọ ya na-aga njem, tinye nʼaka ndị ohu ya ilekọta ihe, onye ọbụla nʼime ha ka o nyere ọrụ ọ ga-arụ ma nyekwa onye nche ọnụ ụzọ iwu ka ọ nọ na nche.
It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.
35 “Ya mere nọrọnụ na nche, nʼihi na unu amaghị mgbe Onyenwe ụlọ ga-alọta. Ma ọ bụ nʼuhuruchi maọbụ nʼetiti abalị. Maọbụ mgbe ọkụkụ kwara akwa, maọbụ nʼisi ụtụtụ.
So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, or in the morning;
36 Ọ bụrụ na ọ lọta na mberede, unu ekwela ka ọ lọkwute unu mgbe unu nọ nʼụra.
For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.
37 Ihe m gwara unu ka m na-agwakwa mmadụ niile. ‘Nọrọnụ na nche.’”
And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep watch.
