Matayo 24
1 Wana Yesu azalaki kobima longwa na lopango ya Tempelo, bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye mpo na kotalisa Ye ndenge batonga Tempelo.
As Jesus walked out of the temple, his disciples came, and caused him to observe the buildings of it.
2 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bomoni nyonso oyo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nyonso ekobukama, libanga moko te ekotikala awa na likolo ya libanga mosusu.
Jesus said to them, All this you see; indeed I say to you, one stone shall not be left here upon another. All shall be razed.
3 Lokola Yesu avandaki na ngomba ya banzete ya olive, bayekoli bapusanaki pene na Ye mpe batunaki Ye, na esika oyo bazalaki bango moko kaka: — Yebisa biso: makambo wana ekosalema tango nini? Mpe elembo nini ekotalisa koya na Yo mpe suka ya mokili? (aiōn g165)
As he sat upon the Mount of Olives his disciples addressed him privately, saying, Tell us, when will this happen; and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the conclusion of this state? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Bosala keba ete moto moko te akosa bino!
Jesus answering, said to them, Take heed that no man seduce you:
5 Pamba te bato mingi bakoya na Kombo na Ngai mpe bakoloba: « Ngai nde Masiya, » mpe bakokosa bato ebele.
for many will assume my character, saying, I am the Messiah, and will seduce many.
6 Bokoyoka basango ya bitumba mpe nungunungu na tina na bitumba, kasi bomitungisa te mpo na yango; pamba te makambo wana esengeli kosalema, kasi ekozala nanu suka ya mokili te.
Nay, you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars; but take care that you be not alarmed: for all these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
7 Ekolo moko ekotelemela ekolo mosusu, bokonzi moko ekobundisa bokonzi mosusu, nzala ekozala makasi penza, mpe mabele ekoningana bipai na bipai.
For nation will arise against nation; and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in sundry places.
8 Makambo nyonso wana ekozala kaka ebandeli ya pasi lokola pasi ya mwasi oyo azali kobota.
Yet these are but the prelude of woes.
9 Bongo, bakokaba bino mpo ete bomona pasi, bakoboma bino; bikolo nyonso ekoyina bino mpo na Kombo na Ngai.
For they will deliver you to torments and to death, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account.
10 Mpo na yango, bato ebele bakokweyisa kondima na bango, bakokaba mpe bakoyina baninga na bango.
Then many will be ensnared, and will betray their fellows, and hate them.
11 Basakoli ebele ya lokuta bakobima mpe bakokosa bato ebele.
And many false prophets will arise, who will seduce many.
12 Lokola mabe ekokola se kokola, bolingo ya bato ebele ekokita.
And because vice will abound, the love of the greater number will cool.
13 Kasi moto oyo akoyika mpiko kino na suka akobika.
But the man who perseveres to the end shall be saved.
14 Sango Malamu oyo ya Bokonzi ekoteyama na mokili mobimba mpo ete ezala litatoli epai ya bikolo nyonso; sima na yango kaka nde suka ekoya.
And this gospel of the Reign shall be published through all the world, for the information of all nations. And then shall come the end.
15 Yango wana, tango bokomona makambo ya nkele oyo epesaka bato pasi na motema, oyo mosakoli Daniele alobelaki, kosalema kati na Esika ya bule, —tika ete motangi asosola malamu—
When, therefore, you shall see, on holy ground, the desolating abomination foretold by the Prophet Daniel, (reader, attend!)
16 wana tika ete bato oyo bakozala kati na Yuda bakima na bangomba;
then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:
17 tika ete moto oyo akozala na likolo ya ndako akita te, mpo na kokende kozwa eloko songolo kati na ndako na ye,
let not him, who shall be upon the housetop, come down to carry things out of his house;
18 mpe tika ete moto oyo akozala kati na bilanga azonga na ndako te, mpo na kokende kozwa elamba na ye!
and let not him, who shall be in the field, return to take his mantle.
19 Na mikolo wana, mawa na basi oyo bakozala na bazemi mpe na ba-oyo bakozala komelisa bana mabele!
But alas for the women with child, and for them that give suck in those days!
20 Bosambela mpo ete makambo wana esalema te na eleko ya malili makasi to na mokolo ya Saba.
Pray, therefore, that your flight happen not in the winter, nor on a Sabbath;
21 Pamba te pasi ekozala makasi, na lolenge oyo etikala nanu kozala te, wuta na ebandeli ya mokili kino sik’oyo, mpe na lolenge oyo ekotikala kozala lisusu te.
because there shall be then so great tribulation, as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor shall be ever after.
22 Mpe soki Nkolo ayeisaki te mikolo yango moke, moto ata moko te akokaki kobika; kasi mpo na baponami na Ye, akoyeisa yango moke.
For, if the time were protracted, no soul could survive; but for the sake of the elect, the time will be short.
23 Na tango wana, soki moto moko alobi na bino: « Klisto azali awa! » to « Azali kuna, » bondima ye te.
If any man shall say to you then, Lo! the Messiah is here, or he is there, believe it not:
24 Pamba te bamasiya ya lokuta mpe basakoli ya lokuta bakobima, bakosala bilembo minene mpe bikamwa mpo na kokosa ata baponami, soki ekokaki kosalema.
for false Messiahs and false prophets will arise, who will perform great wonders and prodigies, so as to seduce, if possible, the elect themselves.
25 Namiyebiseli bino mpo ete bosala keba!
Remember, I have warned you.
26 Soki moto moko alobi na bino: « Botala, azali kati na esobe, » bokende kuna te; to « Azali awa, kati na esika ebombama, » bondima yango te.
Wherefore, if they say, He is in the desert, go not out. He is in the closet, believe it not.
27 Solo, ndenge mokalikali oyo ebimi na este engengisaka kino na weste, ndenge wana mpe koya ya Mwana na Moto ekozala.
For the coming of the Son of Man shall be like lightning, which breaking forth from the east, shines even to the west.
28 Esika nyonso ebembe ezali kopola, bandeke oyo eliaka bibembe esanganaka wana.
For wheresoever the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered together.
29 Tango kaka mikolo yango ya pasi ekoleka, « moyi ekokoma molili, sanza ekongenga lisusu te, minzoto ekokweya longwa na likolo, mpe banguya ya Likolo ekoningisama. »
Immediately after those days of affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall withhold her light; and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the heavenly powers shall be shaken.
30 Sima na yango, elembo ya Mwana na Moto ekomonana na likolo; bongo bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekokoma kolelalela mpe ekomona Mwana na Moto koya na likolo ya mapata ya likolo, kati na nguya mpe na nkembo monene.
Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and all the tribes of the land shall mourn, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great majesty and power.
31 Mpe na lokito monene ya kelelo, akotinda ba-anjelu na Ye kosangisa baponami na Ye longwa na bangambo nyonso minei ya mokili: longwa na suka moko ya Likolo kino na suka mosusu.
And he will send his messengers with a loud sounding trumpet, who shall assemble his elect from the four quarters of the earth, from one extremity of the world to the other.
32 Tika ete lisese ya nzete ya figi eteya bino: soki kaka bitape na yango elembi mpe ebandi kobimisa makasa, boyebaka ete eleko ya moyi makasi ekomi pene.
Learn now a similitude from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and put forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh.
33 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bino; tango bokomona makambo wana nyonso, boyeba ete Mwana na Moto akomi pene, lokola na bikuke ya engumba.
In like manner, when you shall see all these things, know that he is near, even at the door.
34 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bato ya ekeke oyo bakoleka te kino makambo wana nyonso ekosalema.
Indeed, I say to you, this race shall not pass, until all these things happen.
35 Likolo mpe mabele ekoleka, kasi maloba na Ngai ekoleka te.
Heaven and earth shall fail; but my words shall never fail.
36 Mpo na oyo etali mokolo to ngonga, moko te ayebi yango, ezala ba-anjelu ya Likolo to Mwana; Ye moko kaka Tata nde ayebi yango.
But of that day, and that hour, know none, but the Father; no, not the angels.
37 Ndenge esalemaki na tango ya Noa, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema na koya ya Mwana na Moto;
Now that which happened in Noah's time, will also happen at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 pamba te liboso ete mpela eya, bato bazalaki kolia mpe komela, kobala mpe kobalisa bana na bango, kino na mokolo oyo Noa akotaki na masuwa;
For as in the days before the flood, even to that day that Noah entered the ark, they were eating and drinking, and marrying,
39 bayebaki eloko moko te na tina na oyo elingaki kosalema, kino mpela eyaki mpe ekumbaki bango nyonso. Ekozala mpe bongo na koya ya Mwana na Moto.
and suspected nothing, until the flood came and swept them all away: so shall it also be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Mibali mibale bakozala na elanga: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala;
Two men shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
41 basi mibale bakozala konika bambuma na enikelo; moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
42 Yango wana, bosenzela; pamba te boyebi te mokolo nini Nkolo na bino akoya.
Watch, therefore, since you know not at what hour your master will come.
43 Bososola malamu likambo oyo: soki nkolo ndako ayebaki ngonga ya butu oyo moyibi akoya, alingaki kosenzela mpe kopekisa ye kokota kati na ndako na ye.
You are sure, that if the householder knew at what time of the night the thief would come, he would watch, and not suffer him to break into his house.
44 Yango wana, bino mpe, bomibongisa, pamba te Mwana na Moto akoya na ngonga oyo bozali kokanisa kutu te.
Be you, therefore, always prepared; because the Son of Man will come at an hour, when you are not expecting him.
45 Nani azali mowumbu ya sembo mpe ya mayele epai ya nani nkolo apesaki mokumba ya kokamba basali kati na ndako na ye, mpo ete apesaka bango bilei na bango na tango oyo ekoki?
Who, now, is the discreet and faithful servant, whom his master has set over his household, to dispense to them regularly their allowance?
46 Esengo na mowumbu oyo nkolo na ye, tango akozonga, akokuta azali kosala bongo.
Happy that servant, if his master, at his return, find him so employed.
47 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nkolo na ye akopesa ye mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye nyonso.
Indeed, I say to you, he will intrust him with the management of all his estate.
48 Kasi soki azali mowumbu mabe oyo amilobeli: « Nkolo na ngai awumeli mpo na kozonga, »
But as to the vicious servant, who shall say within himself, My master defers his return,
49 mpe akomi kobeta baninga na ye ya mosala, bawumbu lokola ye, kolia mpe komela masanga mesa moko elongo na balangwi masanga,
and shall beat his fellow-servants, and feast and carouse with drunkards;
50 nkolo na ye akozonga na mokolo oyo ye, mowumbu, azali kozela te mpe na ngonga oyo ayebi te;
the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour of which he is not apprised,
51 akokata-kata ye na biteni mpe akotia ye esika moko na bato ya bilongi mibale, na esika oyo ekozala kolela mpe koswa minu.
and having discarded him, will assign him his portion among the perfidious. Weeping and gnashing of teeth shall be there.
The World is Destroyed by Water
