Mathaio 24
1 Mme ya re fela fa Jesu a tswa mo patlelong ya Tempele, barutwa ba gagwe ba mo sala morago ba tla go mo tsamaisa ba mo kaetsa dikago tse di farologanyeng tsa Tempele.
Yeshua went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His talmidim came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 Mme a ba raya a re, “Dikago tse tsotlhe di tlaa digelwa fa fatshe, lentswe lepe le sa tlogelwe le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe!”
But answering, he said to them, "Do you not see all of these things? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
3 Mme ya re morago fa barutwa ba gagwe ba ntse fa fatshe mo thoteng ya Thaba ya Lotlhware, ba mmotsa ba re, “mo go diragala leng? Ditshupo tse di tlaa supang go boa ga gago le bokhutlo jwa lefatshe ke dife?” (aiōn g165)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the talmidim came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" (aiōn g165)
4 Jesu a fetola a re, “Se letleng ope go lo timetsa.
Yeshua answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 Gonne ba le bantsi ba tlaa tla ba ipitsa gore ke bone BoMesia, mme ba timetsa ba le bantsi.
For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and will lead many astray.
6 Fa lo utlwa ka go simologa ga dintwa, mo go tlaa bo go sa supe go boa ga me; mo go tshwanetse go diragala, mme bokhutlo bo tlaa bo bo ise bo tle.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 Dichaba le Mebuso ya lefatshe di tlaa tsogologelana, go tlaa nna mauba le dithoromo tsa lefatshe mo mafelong a le mantsi.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in various places.
8 Mme gotlhe mo e tlaa bo e le tshimologo ya ditlalelo tse di tlang fela.”
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Hong lo tlaa tlhokofadiwa, lo bolawe, lo bo lo ilwe ke lefatshe lotlhe ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me.
Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
10 Mme ba le bantsi ba lona ba tlaa boela mo sebeng, ba okane ba bo ba ilane.”
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Mme go tlaa nna le baporofiti ba le bantsi ba eseng bone mme ba tlaa timetsa bontsi.
Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
12 Sebe se tla ntsifala thata gongwe le gongwe, se tsidifatse lorato lwa ba le bantsi.
And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 Mme ba ba itshokang go ya bokhutlong ba tlaa bolokwa.
But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
14 “Mme mafoko a a molemo a Bogosi a tlaa rerwa mo lefatshing lotlhe gore dichaba tsotlhe di utlwe, mme hong lwa bofelo bokhutlo bo tlaa tla.
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15 Jalo, fa lo bona selo se se makgapha, (se se boletsweng ke Moporofeti Daniele, a mmadi a tlhaloganye se se buiwang!)
"When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 hong ba ba mo Judea ba patelesega go tshabela kwa dithabeng tsa Judea.
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 “Ba ba mo maribelong a matlo a bone ba seka ba tsena mo teng go phutha dilwana pele ga ba tshaba.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
18 Ba ba kwa masimo ba seka ba boela kwa magaeng a bone go tsaya diaparo.
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
19 “Mme a bo go tlaa bo go latlhega basadi ba baimana le ba ba nang le masea mo malatsing ao.
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.
20 Mme lo rapele gore go sia ga lona go seka ga nna mariga, kgotsa go le Sabata
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
21 Gonne go tlaa nna pogisego e lefatshe le iseng le ke le e bone pele mo tshimologong ya lone go fitlha nako eno, mme ga e kitla e tlhola e bonwa gape.”
for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22 “Mme tota fa malatsi ao a sa khutshwafadiwe, batho botlhe ba tlaa nyelela, mme a tlaa khutshwafadiwa ka ntlha ya batho ba Modimo o ba itshenketseng.”
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 “Hong fa mongwe a lo raya a re ‘Mesia o gorogile kwa lefelong lengwe, kgotsa o bonetse fano kgotsa fale, kgotsa mo motseng o kgotsa ole,’ se dumeleng.
"Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.
24 Gonne go tlaa nna teng Bo-Kereste ba le bantsi ba eseng bone, le baporofiti ba eseng bone, ba tlaa dira dikgakgamatso, gore e re fa go no go ka kgonega, le e leng ba ba itlhophetsweng ke Modimo tota ba tsiediwe.
For there will arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25 Bonang, ke lo tlhagisitse.
"See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Mme ke gone fa mongwe a lo raya a re Mesia o boile mme o ile kwa sekakeng, lo se ka lwa eletsa go tsamaya lo ya go bona, kgotsa, gore o iphitlhile golo gongwe, se dumeleng!
If therefore they tell you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.
27 Gonne jaaka logadima lo tle lo gadime go kgabaganya loapi go tsweng botlhabatsatsi go ya bophirima, go tla ga me go tlaa nna jalo, fa nna Morwa Motho ke boa.
For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 Mme gongwe le gongwe kwa go nang le setoto, manong a phuthegela gone.
Wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.
29 “E tlaa re ka bofefo morago ga pogiso ya malatsi letsatsi le tlaa fifadiwa, le ngwedi o tlaa ntshofala, le dinaled di bonala o ka re di wa mo magodimong, le dinonofo tse di khuromeditseng lefatshe di tlaa reketlisiwa.
But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
30 “Mme kwa bofelong sesupo sa go tla ga me se tlaa bonala mo magodimong, mme go tlaa nna khutsafalo e kgolo mo tikologong ya lefatshe lotlhe, mme dichaba tsa lefatshe di tlaa mpona ke goroga ka maru a legodimo, ka nonofo le kgalalelo e kgolo.
and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31 Mme ke tlaa roma baengele ba me ka tumo ya torompeta e kgolo, mme ba tlaa phutha baitshenkedwi ba me go tsweng dikhutlong tsa lefatshe le legodimo.
He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 “Jaanong ithuteng thuto ka setlhare sa mofeige. Fa kala ya sone e le nana matlhare a simolola go kukunya, lo itse gore selemo se setse se gorogile.
"Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33 Fela jalo, fa lo bona dilo tse tsotlhe di simolola go diragala, lo ka itse gore go boa ga me go gaufi, go fela fa mojakong.
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Hong kwa bofelong lobaka lo lo tlaa tla mo bokhutlong jwa lone.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
35 “Legodimo le lefatshe di tlaa nyelela, mme mafoko a me a tla nna ka bosenabokhutlo.”
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 “Mme ga go ope yo o itseng letsatsi le fa e le nako e bokhutlo bo tlaa tlang ka yone, le fa e le baengele. Nnyaa, le fa e le Morwa Modimo tota. Ke Rara fela a le esi yo o itseng.
But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.
37 “Lefatshe le tlaa bo le iketlile, le le mo tlhapeding ya meletlo batho ba a ja ba a nwa, ba nyala ba nyadisa, jaaka go ne go ntse ka nako ya ga Noa pele ga go tla ga tshoganetso ga morwalela.
"As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship,
39 Batho ba ne ba sa dumele se se neng se ya go diragala go fitlhelela morwalela o tla o ba phaila botlhe. Jalo go tla ga me go tlaa nna fela jalo.
and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 “Banna ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba dira mo masimong, mongwe o tlaa tsewa, yo mongwe a tlogelwa.
Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
41 Basadi ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba dira tiro ya bone ya lolwapa, mongwe o tlaa tsewa, yo mongwe a tlogelwe.
Two will be grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 Ke gone ipaakanyeng, gonne ga lo itse letsatsi le Morena wa lona o tlang ka lone.
Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
43 Fela jaaka motho a ka kganela matshwenyego a a leriweng ke magodu ka go nna a itlhokometse mo go one.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Jalo lo ka kganela matshwenyego ka go nna malatsi otlhe lo ipaakanyeditse go boa ga me mo go se kitlang go anamisiwa.
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 “A o motlhanka yo o botlhale yo o ikanyegang wa Morena? a ke go neetse tironyana ya go laola ba ntlo ya me, go fepa bongwanake letsatsi le letsatsi?
"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46 O sego fa e ka re ke boa ka fitlhela o dira tiro ya gago ka go ikanyega.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Ke tlaa dira ba ba ikanyegang jalo balaodi ba sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso.
Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 Mme fa o le bosula o bo o ithaya o re, ‘Morena wa me ga a na go tla ka bofefo,’
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'
49 o bo o simolola go gatelela batlhanka ka wena, o o ja o nwa o tagwa.
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 Morena wa gago o tlaa goroga a sa anamisiwa e bile a sa solofelwa,
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour when he does not know it,
51 “Mme a ba a go kgwathisa thata a go lelekela katlholong ya baitimokanyi; kwa go tlaa nnang selelo le khuranyo ya meno teng.”
and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
