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.
And Jesus went out, and was going from the temple; and his disciples 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!”
And he answering said to them, See ye not all these? Truly do I say to you, There will not be left here one stone upon 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)
And as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the signs of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesu a fetola a re, “Se letleng ope go lo timetsa.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you.
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 Christ, and will deceive many.
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.
And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end.
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 earthquakes in divers 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 travail-pains.
9 “Hong lo tlaa tlhokofadiwa, lo bolawe, lo bo lo ilwe ke lefatshe lotlhe ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me.
Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name.
10 Mme ba le bantsi ba lona ba tlaa boela mo sebeng, ba okane ba bo ba ilane.”
And then will many fall away; 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.
And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many.
12 Sebe se tla ntsifala thata gongwe le gongwe, se tsidifatse lorato lwa ba le bantsi.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold.
13 Mme ba ba itshokang go ya bokhutlong ba tlaa bolokwa.
But he that endureth to the end 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.
And these glad tidings of the kingdom will be published throughout the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end.
15 Jalo, fa lo bona selo se se makgapha, (se se boletsweng ke Moporofeti Daniele, a mmadi a tlhaloganye se se buiwang!)
When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand, )
16 hong ba ba mo Judea ba patelesega go tshabela kwa dithabeng tsa Judea.
then let those who are in Judaea 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 not him that is on the house-top go down to take away the things belonging to his house;
18 Ba ba kwa masimo ba seka ba boela kwa magaeng a bone go tsaya diaparo.
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 “Mme a bo go tlaa bo go latlhega basadi ba baimana le ba ba nang le masea mo malatsing ao.
And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days!
20 Mme lo rapele gore go sia ga lona go seka ga nna mariga, kgotsa go le Sabata
And pray that your flight be not in 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 there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever 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.”
And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these 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 any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not.
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 rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived.
25 Bonang, ke lo tlhagisitse.
Lo! 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 say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not.
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 cometh from the east, and shineth 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 will the eagles be gathered 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.
And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and 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 will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven 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.
And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven 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.
And from the fig-tree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that 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.
So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors.
34 Hong kwa bofelong lobaka lo lo tlaa tla mo bokhutlong jwa lone.
Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place.
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 that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the 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.
But as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
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 knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also 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 will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one 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 women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left.
42 Ke gone ipaakanyeng, gonne ga lo itse letsatsi le Morena wa lona o tlang ka lone.
Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming.
43 Fela jaaka motho a ka kganela matshwenyego a a leriweng ke magodu ka go nna a itlhokometse mo go one.
But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
44 Jalo lo ka kganela matshwenyego ka go nna malatsi otlhe lo ipaakanyeditse go boa ga me mo go se kitlang go anamisiwa.
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
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 placed 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.
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Ke tlaa dira ba ba ikanyegang jalo balaodi ba sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso.
Truly do I say to you, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.
48 Mme fa o le bosula o bo o ithaya o re, ‘Morena wa me ga a na go tla ka bofefo,’
But if the bad servant say in his heart, My lord is tarrying long;
49 o bo o simolola go gatelela batlhanka ka wena, o o ja o nwa o tagwa.
and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken,
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 looketh not for it, and at an hour when he is not aware;
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 asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
