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.”
As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Rabbi, look what prodigious stones and stately 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.”
Jesus answering, said to him, You see these great buildings. They shall be so razed, that one stone will not be left upon another.
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,
Afterward, as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, 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 will this happen? and what will be the sign, when all this is to be accomplished?
5 Jisọs malitere ịgwa ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu.
Jesus answering them, took occasion to say, Take heed that no man seduce you;
6 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m sị, ‘Abụ m ya.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
for many will assume my character, saying, I am the person, and will seduce 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.
But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not alarmed; for this must happen, but the end is not 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 will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be earthquakes in sundry places, and there will be famines and commotions. These are the prelude of woes.
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 will deliver you to councils; and you will be beaten in the synagogues, and brought before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony to them.
10 Aghaghị ibu ụzọ kwusaa oziọma a nye mba niile.
The good tidings, however, 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 conduct you, to deliver you up, have no anxiety beforehand, nor premeditate what you shall speak: but whatever shall be suggested to you in that moment, speak; for it is not you that shall 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.
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
13 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m, ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
And on my account you shall be universally hated; but the man who perseveres to the end, 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 you shall see standing on forbidden ground, the desolating abomination, (reader, attend!) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;
15 Onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ụlọ ya ghara ịrịdata maọbụ baa nʼime ụlọ ya iwepụta ihe ọbụla.
and let not him who shall be on the roof, go down into the house, nor enter it, to carry anything out of his house:
16 Ka onye ọbụla nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi ịchịrị uwe ya.
and let not him who shall be in the field, turn back to fetch his mantle.
17 Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị dị ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara, nʼụbọchị ahụ.
But alas for the women with child, and for them who give suck in those days!
18 Kpeenụ ekpere ka ihe ndị a hapụ ime nʼoge oke oyi.
Pray, then, that your flight happen 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.
because there shall be such affliction in those days, as has not been before, from the beginning of the world, which God created, nor shall be ever after.
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.
Had the Lord assigned it a long duration, no soul could escape; but for the sake of the people whom he had elected, he has made its duration the shorter.
21 Nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Lee, Kraịst nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ,’ unu ekwela.
Then if any one shall say to you, Lo! the Messiah is here, or Lo! he is yonder, believe it 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 will arise, who will perform wonders and prodigies, in order to impose, if possible, even on the elect.
23 Ya mere, unu nọrọ na nche; nʼihi na agwala m unu ihe niile mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
Be you, therefore, upon your guard: remember, I have warned you of everything.
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 affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall withhold 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 which 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.
Then they shall 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.
Then he will send his messengers, and assemble his elect from the four quarters of the world, from the extremities of heaven and earth.
28 “Ugbu a, mụtanụ ihe site nʼosisi fiig. Mgbe ọbụla alaka ya dị nro malite iwepụta akwụkwọ ndụ, unu maara na ọkọchị dị nso.
Learn now a similitude from the fig tree. When its branches become tender, and put forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh.
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.
In like manner, when you shall see these things happen, know that he is near, even at the door.
30 Ana m agwa unu eziokwu na ọgbọ a agaghị agabiga tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo.
Indeed, I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be accomplished.
31 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga ma okwu m ga-adịgide.
For heaven and earth shall fail: but my words shall not fail.
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 of that hour, knows none, (not the angels; no, not the Son, ) but the Father.
33 Ebe ọ bụ na unu amaghị mgbe ha ga-emezu, nọrọnụ na nche! Mụrụkwanụ anya!
Be circumspect, be vigilant, and pray; for you know not when that 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.
When a man intends to travel, he leaves his household in charge to his servants, assigns to every one his task, and orders 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 you, therefore; for you know not when the master of the house will return, (whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, 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 asleep.
37 Ihe m gwara unu ka m na-agwakwa mmadụ niile. ‘Nọrọnụ na nche.’”
Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
