Matiu 24
1 Mgbe Jisọs si nʼụlọnsọ ahụ na-apụ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya na-achọ igosi ya akụkụ dị iche iche nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
AND Jeshu went forth from the temple to depart: and his disciples approached him, showing him the building of the temple.
2 Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Unu hụrụ ihe ndị a niile? Nʼezie agwa m unu, oge na-abịa mgbe ọ bụladị otu nkume na-agaghị adịgidekwa nʼelu ibe ya, nke a na-agaghị akwatu nʼala.”
But he said to them, See you not all these? Amen I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone which shall not be destroyed.
3 Mgbe ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼelu Ugwu Oliv, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya iche, sị, “Gwa anyị, olee mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu? Gịnị ga-abụkwa ihe ịrịbama nke oge i ji alọghachi na nke ọgwụgwụ ụwa a?” (aiōn g165)
And while Jeshu sat upon the mount of Olives, his disciples drew near and said between themselves and him, Tell us when these things shall be; and what is the sign of thy coming and of the consummation of the world. (aiōn g165)
4 Jisọs zara ha sị, “Lezienụ anya ka onye ọbụla ghara iduhie unu ụzọ.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Beware that no man cause you to err;
5 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m, na-ekwu sị, ‘Abụ m Kraịst ahụ.’ Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ ndị ụzọ.
for many will come in my name and will say, I am the Meshicha; and many will be deceived.
6 Mgbe unu nụrụ ụzụ agha, na akụkọ agha dị iche iche, unu atụla egwu, nʼihi na ihe ndị a aghaghị ime. Ma ha anaghị egosi na ọgwụgwụ oge eruola.
But it will be for you to hear wars and the noise of battles; (yet) see that you be not perturbed; for all these will take place, but not yet is the end.
7 Mba ga-ebili megide mba ibe ya, alaeze ga-ebilikwa megide alaeze ọzọ; oke ụnwụ, na ala ọma jijiji ga-adịkwa nʼọtụtụ ebe dị iche iche.
For people will rise against people, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 Ma ihe ndị a niile bụ naanị mmalite ịta ahụhụ nke ga-abịa.
But these are all the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Mgbe ahụ ha ga-arara unu nyefee nʼaka ndị ga-ata unu ahụhụ. Ha ga-egbukwa unu. Mba niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m.
Then shall they deliver you to affliction, and shall kill you; and you shall be hated of all peoples on account of my name.
10 Ọtụtụ ga-ada site nʼokwukwe ha nʼoge ahụ. Ha ga-emekwa ka ibe ha ma nʼọnya, kpọọkwa ibe ha asị.
Then shall many be offended, and shall hate one another, and betray one another.
11 Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị amụma ụgha ga-apụta. Ha ga-eduhiekwa ọtụtụ mmadụ.
And many lying prophets shall stand up, and shall delude the multitudes.
12 Nʼihi na ajọ omume bara ụba nʼebe niile, ịhụnanya ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼebe ibe ha nọ ga-ajụ oyi.
And because of the abounding of iniquity, the love of many will languish.
13 Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
But he who shall persevere unto the end, -he shall live.
14 A ga-ekwusa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ nye ụwa niile ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye mba niile. Emesịa ọgwụgwụ oge ahụ ga-abịa.
And this annunciation of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony for all nations; and then will come the end.
15 “Ya mere, mgbe unu hụrụ ihe arụ nke na-eweta mbibi, nke e kwuru okwu ya site nʼọnụ Daniel onye amụma, ka ọ na-eguzo nʼebe nsọ (onye na-agụ ya nwee nghọta ihe ọ pụtara).
But when you see the unclean sign of desolation which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, that it standeth in the holy place; -he who readeth let him understand!-
16 Mgbe ahụ, ka ndị nọ na Judịa were ọsọ gbalaga nʼelu ugwu.
then let those who are in Jehud escape to the mountain.
17 Ka onye nọ nʼelu ụlọ ghara ịrịdata ka ọ banye nʼime ụlọ ya, ịkwapụta ngwongwo dị nʼime ụlọ ya.
And let not him who is on the roof descend to take what his house;
18 Ka onye nọ nʼubi ghara ịlọghachi nʼụlọ ya ịchịrị uwe ya.
nor he who is in the field turn back to take his vestment.
19 Ma ịta ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị nwanyị di ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara nʼụbọchị ahụ
But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days!
20 Kpesienụ ekpere ike ka unu ghara ịgba ọsọ a nʼoge oke oyi, maọbụ nʼụbọchị izuike.
But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the shabath.
21 Nʼihi na oke mkpagbu ga-adị, ụdị nke ụwa na-ahụbeghị mbụ, na nke anya na-agaghị ahụkwa ọzọ site na mmalite ụwa ruo mgbe ahụ.
For then shall be the great affliction, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be (again).
22 “Ọ bụrụ na-emeghị ka ụbọchị ndị ahụ dị mkpụmkpụ, o nweghị onye a ga-azọpụta, ma nʼihi ndị ya ọ họpụtara, ụbọchị ndị ahụ ga-adị mkpụmkpụ.
And unless those days be cut short, none could live of all flesh: but on account of the chosen those days shall be cut short.
23 Mgbe ahụ, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Lee, Kraịst nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee ya nʼebe ahụ,’ unu ekwela.
Then if any one shall say to you, Lo, here is the Meshicha, or there; believe them not.
24 Nʼihi na ndị nzọpụta ụgha na ndị amụma ụgha ga-apụta. Ha ga-eme ihe oke ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche. Ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ekwe mee, ha ga-esite nʼọrụ ebube ha ga-arụ duhie, ọ bụladị ndị ahụ a họpụtara.
For there shall arise false Meshichas and prophets of untruth; and they shall give forth magnificent signs, so as to seduce, if possible, the chosen also.
25 Lee, agwala m unu ihe ndị a, mgbe ha na-emebeghị.
(observe! I have told you before, )
26 “Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ha asị unu, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼime ọzara,’ unu agakwala. Ọ bụrụkwa na ha asị unu, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼime ime ụlọ,’ unu ekwela.
If therefore they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: or, Behold, he is in the inner chamber; believe not.
27 Nʼihi na ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka amụma na-egbu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke a na-ahụ anya nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
As the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen unto the west, so shall be the advent of the Son of man.
28 Matakwanụ na ebe ọbụla ozu dị, nʼebe ahụ ka udele na-ezukọta.
But where the body shall be, there will be assembled the eagles.
29 “Ngwangwa mgbe mkpagbu nke ụbọchị ndị ahụ niile gabigasịrị, “‘anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị. Ọnwa agaghị enyekwa ìhè, kpakpando ga-esi na mbara eluigwe daa, ike niile nke eluigwe ga-ama jijiji.’
But immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun will become dark, and the moon show not her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven be commoved.
30 “Nʼoge ahụ akara ngosi nke Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-apụta ihe na mbara eluigwe. Agbụrụ niile nke ụwa ga-anọkwa na-eru ụjụ. Ha ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-abịa nʼigwe ojii, nʼike nakwa oke ebube.
And then shall be seen the standard of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the generations of the earth shall wail, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory.
31 Ọ ga-ewerekwa olu opi ike zipụ ndị mmụọ ozi ka ha gaa kpọkọtaa ndị niile a họpụtara site nʼakụkụ anọ niile nke eluigwe na ụwa.
And he shall send his angels with the great trumpet, and they shall gather the chosen who are his from the four winds and from the ends of heaven.
32 “Ugbu a mụtanụ ihe site nʼosisi fiig. Mgbe ọbụla alaka ya malitere iwepụta ome dị nro, na-epupụtakwa akwụkwọ ndụ maranụ na ọkọchị na-abịa nso.
But from the fig-tree learn a parable: As soon as her branches are soft, and they put forth her leaves, you know that summer draweth nigh.
33 Otu a kwa, mgbe unu na-ahụ ihe ndị a niile ka ha na-eme marakwanụ na ọ nọ nso, ọ bụladị nʼọnụ ụzọ unu.
So also, when all these are seen, you know that it cometh to the door.
34 Nʼezie agwa m unu, ihe ndị a niile aghaghị imezu tupu ọgbọ a agabiga.
Amen I say to you, that this race shall not have passed away until all these shall take place.
35 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga, ma okwu m enweghị ike ịgabiga.
Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Ma o nweghị onye ọbụla maara ụbọchị ahụ, maọbụ oge awa ahụ ga-abụ. Ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ozi nọ nʼeluigwe amaghị ya. Ọkpara ahụ amakwaghị. Ọ bụ naanị Nna maara ya.
BUT concerning that day and concerning that hour, no man knoweth; neither the angels of heaven, but the Father only.
37 Ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị ka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Noa.
But as the days of Nûch, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
38 Nʼoge ahụ tupu iju mmiri ahụ abịa, ndị mmadụ nọ na-eri na aṅụ, na-emekwa mmemme ọlụlụ di na nwunye, ruo ụbọchị Noa banyere nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ya.
For as before the deluge they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, until the day that Nûch went into the ark;
39 Ha amataghị ihe ga-eme tutu oke mmiri ahụ abịa kpochapụ ha niile. Otu ahụ ka ọbịbịa Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-adị.
and knew not till the deluge came, and carried them all away; so shalt be the advent of the Son of man.
40 Mmadụ abụọ ga na-arụkọ ọrụ nʼubi ha, a ga-ewepụ otu hapụkwa onye nke ọzọ.
Then two shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and one be left.
41 Ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ga na-akwọ nri na nkume igwe nri, a ga-ewere otu, ma hapụkwa nke ọzọ.
Two shall be grinding in the mill; one is taken, and one is left.
42 “Nʼihi nke a, na-echenụ nche, nʼihi na unu amaghị ụbọchị Onyenwe unu ga-abịa.
Be wakeful therefore, because ye know not in what hour cometh your Lord.
43 Ma ghọtanụ nke a: Ọ bụrụ na nna nwe ụlọ mara oge onye ohi ga-abịa nʼụlọ ya nʼabalị, ọ ga-anọ na nche nʼoge ahụ. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka onye ohi kụwaa ụlọ ya.
But this know; that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would have been watching, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
44 Otu a ka unu onwe unu pụrụ isi nọgide na nche oge niile, nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-abịa nʼoge awa unu na-atụghị anya ya.
Wherefore be ye also prepared, because in the hour that ye expect not shall come the Son of man.
45 “Onye bụ ohu ahụ nke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ma nwekwa uche, nke onyenwe ya mere onyeisi ndị ohu nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya, ka ọ na-enye ha nri nʼoge ya?
WHO is the servant faithful and wise whom his lord shall appoint over the children of his house, to give every one his meat in his time?
46 Ngọzị na-adịrị ohu ahụ, onye, mgbe onyenwe ya ga-alọghachi hụ na ọ na-eme otu a.
Blessed is that servant, who, when cometh his lord, shall be found doing so.
47 Nʼezie asị m unu, ọ ga-eme ya onyeisi nke ihe niile o nwere.
Amen I say to you, that he will establish him over all that he hath.
48 Ma ọ bụrụ na ohu ahụ bụ onye ajọọ omume na-asị onwe ya, ‘Nna m ukwu anọọla ogologo oge,’
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come;
49 ọ bụrụkwa na o bido iti ndị ohu ibe ya ihe, sorokwa ndị ọṅụ oke mmanya na-eri, na-aṅụ.
and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall be eating and drinking with drunkards;
50 Nna ukwu ohu ahụ ga-alọta nʼụbọchị ọ na-atụghị anya, nʼoge awa ọ na-amakwaghị.
the lord of that servant shall come in a day that he computeth not, and in an hour which he doth not know,
51 Ọ ga-egburisikwa ya, nye ya ọnọdụ nʼetiti ebe ndị ihu abụọ nọ. Ebe e nwere ịkwa akwa na ịta ikikere eze.
and shall sunder him, and set his lot with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
