< 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 as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Rabbi, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
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 Yahushua answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
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 as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Kepha and James and John and Andrew asked 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?”
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 Jisọs malitere ịgwa ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu.
And Yahushua answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m sị, ‘Abụ m ya.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many.
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 ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
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.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
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 heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 Aghaghị ibu ụzọ kwusaa oziọma a nye mba niile.
And the gospel must first be published among all 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.
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, 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.
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m, ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
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 ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand, ) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 Onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ụlọ ya ghara ịrịdata maọbụ baa nʼime ụlọ ya iwepụta ihe ọbụla.
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 Ka onye ọbụla nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi ịchịrị uwe ya.
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị dị ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara, nʼụbọchị ahụ.
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 Kpeenụ ekpere ka ihe ndị a hapụ ime nʼoge oke oyi.
And pray ye that your flight be not 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 shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which YHWH created unto this time, neither shall be.
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 except that YHWH had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
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 shall say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
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.
For false Messiahs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 Ya mere, unu nọrọ na nche; nʼihi na agwala m unu ihe niile mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
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 tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall 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 of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 “Nʼoge ahụ, ha ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ, ka ọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii nʼoke ike na ebube.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the 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 shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost 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.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that 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.
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Ana m agwa unu eziokwu na ọgbọ a agaghị agabiga tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo.
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga ma okwu m ga-adịgide.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
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 and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Ebe ọ bụ na unu amaghị mgbe ha ga-emezu, nọrọnụ na nche! Mụrụkwanụ anya!
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
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.
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to 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.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Ọ bụrụ na ọ lọta na mberede, unu ekwela ka ọ lọkwute unu mgbe unu nọ nʼụra.
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 Ihe m gwara unu ka m na-agwakwa mmadụ niile. ‘Nọrọnụ na nche.’”
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
