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 Jesus was walking out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and buildings these are!"
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.”
"You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.
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,
When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter and Jamesand Johnand 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 these things shall be, and what shall be the sign that all these predictions are about to be fulfilled."
5 Jisọs malitere ịgwa ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu.
So Jesus began to tell them.
6 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m sị, ‘Abụ m ya.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
"Be ye watchful lest any one mislead you. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will mislead 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 do not be dismayed, such things must come, 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 shall rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines; these are the beginning of birth-pangs.
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.
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged on the synagogues; and you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, to witness to them for me.
10 Aghaghị ibu ụzọ kwusaa oziọma a nye mba niile.
But the gospel must first be proclaimed 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.
When, however, they are leading you all to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but whatever is given you in that hour, that say, for it is not you who 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.
"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.
13 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m, ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he that endures 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 see the Abomination of Desolation ‘standing where he ought not’ (let the reader ponder this), 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.
let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house;
16 Ka onye ọbụla nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi ịchịrị uwe ya.
and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to get his cloak.
17 Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị dị ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara, nʼụbọchị ahụ.
And alas for the pregnant women, and for those that are nursing their infants in those days!
18 Kpeenụ ekpere ka ihe ndị a hapụ ime nʼoge oke oyi.
Pray that it may not come 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 those will be days of suffering the like of which has never been from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never 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 had not the Lord cut short those days, not a single person would escape; but for the elect’s sake whom he has chosen, he has cut them short.
21 Nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Lee, Kraịst nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ,’ unu ekwela.
"At that time if any one tell you, ‘See, here is Christ,’ or ‘See, there he is,’ do not believe 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.
for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, to lead astray the very chosen, if they can.
23 Ya mere, unu nọrọ na nche; nʼihi na agwala m unu ihe niile mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
Be on your guard! I have told you it all beforehand.
24 “Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, nke na-esote oge mkpagbu ahụ, “‘anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị, ọnwa agaghị enyekwa ìhè ya;
"But when the tribulation is past, in those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed 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 the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26 “Nʼoge ahụ, ha ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ, ka ọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii nʼoke ike na ebube.
Then will they 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.
Then he will send forth the angels and gather his chosen from the four winds, from uttermost earth to uttermost sky.
28 “Ugbu a, mụtanụ ihe site nʼosisi fiig. Mgbe ọbụla alaka ya dị nro malite iwepụta akwụkwọ ndụ, unu maara na ọkọchị dị nso.
"From the fig tree learn now her parable; as soon as ever her branches are full of sap and bursting into leaf, you 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 also do you, whenever you see these things happening, know that He is near, at your very door.
30 Ana m agwa unu eziokwu na ọgbọ a agaghị agabiga tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo.
I tell you truly that the present generation shall not pass until all these things begin to happen.
31 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga ma okwu m ga-adịgide.
Earth and sky 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 concerning that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,
33 Ebe ọ bụ na unu amaghị mgbe ha ga-emezu, nọrọnụ na nche! Mụrụkwanụ anya!
nor the Son, but only the Father.
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.
Take heed! Awake! for you never know the time. As a man gone abroad and leaving his house gives authority to his slaves, to each his task;
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.
and orders the porter to keep watch; keep watch then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming - in the evening, at midnight, at cockcrow, or in the morning -
36 Ọ bụrụ na ọ lọta na mberede, unu ekwela ka ọ lọkwute unu mgbe unu nọ nʼụra.
lest he should come unexpectedly and find 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. Be awake and on guard."
