Mateo 24
1 Yesu refi faako a asɔredan no si hɔ akɔ no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn pɛɛ sɛ wɔtwe nʼadwene kɔ adan ahorow a ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu no so.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Wobedwiriw saa dan yi agu pasaa!”
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 Yesu kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so. Ɔte hɔ no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Bere bɛn na nea woreka yi bɛba? Na nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛn na ɛbɛma yɛahu wo ba a wobɛsan aba bio no ne wiase awiei a ɛbɛba no?” (aiōn g165)
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ na obi annaadaa mo.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 Nnipa bebree de me din bɛba abɛka se, wɔne Agyenkwa no, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 Sɛ mote sɛ wɔafi akodi ase a, ɛnkyerɛ me ba a mɛsan aba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne. Ɛsɛ sɛ eyinom ba, nanso awiei no de, ennya mmae.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 Aman bɛsɔre wɔ aman so, na ahenni asɔre wɔ ahenni so, na ɔkɔm ne asasewosow bɛba mmeaemmeae.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 Eyinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfiase.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Sɛ moyɛ me de nti, wɔbɛyɛ mo ayayade, na wɔakunkum mo wɔ wiase afanan nyinaa,
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 na mo mu pii bɛsan akɔ bɔne mu, na moayiyi mo ho mo ho ama, na moatentan mo ho mo ho.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 Atoro adiyifo bebree bɛsɔre, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 Bɔne bɛdɔɔso wɔ wiase, na abrɛ nnipa dɔ a wɔwɔ no ase.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 Nanso wɔn a wobegyina pintinn akodu awiei no, wobegye wɔn nkwa.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 Na wɔbɛka asɛmpa a ɛfa Ahenni no ho no wɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa, na wɔate. Ɛno akyi ansa na awiei no bɛba.”
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 “Enti sɛ muhu ‘abusude a ɛde ɔsɛe ba’ a Odiyifo Daniel kaa ho asɛm sɛ egyina kronkronbea hɔ no a, ma nea ɔkenkan no nte ase,
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: )
16 na wɔn a wɔte Yudea no nguan nkɔ Yuda mmepɔw so.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Mma obiara a ɔwɔ ne fi dan atifi no nsian nkɔfa biribiara mfi ne fi hɔ.
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuw so no nso nnsan wɔn akyi mmɛfa wɔn ntama.
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Ɛbɛyɛ hu ama wɔn a wɔafa afuru ne wɔn a woturu mma saa bere no mu!
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 Na mommɔ mpae na bere a ɛsɛ sɛ muguan no anyɛ awɔwbere anaa Homeda.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 Efisɛ awerɛhowdi a ɛbɛba no, bi nsii wɔ wiase abakɔsɛm mu da, na bi nso rensi da.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 “Nokware, sɛ wɔantwa saa nna no so a, ɛrenka obi.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo se, ‘Agyenkwa no wɔ ha anaasɛ ɔwɔ nohɔ anaa wayi ne ho adi wɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ’ a, munnnye nni.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
24 Atoro agyenkwanom ne atoro adiyifo bɛsɔre, na wɔayɛ anwonwade ahorow na sɛ ebetumi a, wɔadaadaa wɔn a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no mpo.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Monhwɛ yiye, efisɛ maka biribiara akyerɛ mo!
Behold, I have told you before.
26 “Enti sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo se, ‘Agyenkwa no asan aba na ɔwɔ sare so a,’ monnhaw mo ho sɛ mobɛkɔ hɔ akɔhwehwɛ no. Anaasɛ nso wose, ‘Ɔde ne ho asie baabi a,’ munnnye nni!
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
27 Na sɛnea anyinam twa fi apuei kɔ atɔe no, saa ara na sɛ Onipa Ba no reba a, ɛbɛyɛ ne no.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Na nea funu wɔ no, ɛhɔ na apete bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Saa mmere no awerɛhowdi no akyi pɛ “‘owia beduru sum, na ɔsram renhyerɛn; na nsoromma befi wim atetew ahwe, na wim abɔde behinhim.’
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 “Afei Onipa Ba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛda adi wɔ ɔsoro. Na asase sofo nyinaa betwa agyaadwo bere a wobehu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔde tumi ne anuonyam nam ɔsoro omununkum mu reba.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Na mɛsoma mʼabɔfo na wɔde torobɛnto a ano yɛ den aba abɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano fi ɔsoro ano akɔka asase ano.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 “Afei munsua biribi mfi borɔdɔma dua no ho asɛm no mu. Sɛ eyi mman foforo, san yi nhaban foforo a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ asusow abɛn.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
33 Saa ara nso na sɛ muhu sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa afi ase resisi a, mubehu sɛ me ba a mɛsan aba no abɛn, adu ɔpon ano.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
34 Nokware mise mo sɛ, awo ntoatoaso yi rentwa mu, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Ɔsoro ne asase betwa mu akɔ, nanso me nsɛm de, ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Nanso da anaa dɔn ko a awiei no bɛba de, obiara nnim. Ɔsoro abɔfo ne Onyankopɔn Ba no mpo nnim. Agya no nko na onim.
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛba no bɛyɛ sɛnea Noa bere so ɛyɛɛ no ara pɛ.
But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 Na sɛnea nna a edi nsuyiri no anim no nnipa didii, na wɔnomee, warewaree, de kosii da a Noa kɔɔ hyɛn no mu,
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 na nnipa annye nea ɛbɛba anni, kosii sɛ nsuyiri bɛfaa wɔn nyinaa kɔe no, saa ara na me ba a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Saa bere no, wɔbɛfa mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afum no mu baako akɔ, na wɔagyaw ɔbaako.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Saa ara nso na mmea baanu a wɔwɔ fie renoa aduan no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agyaw ɔbaako.
Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Enti monwɛn, efisɛ munnim da ko a Awurade bɛba.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 Sɛnea sɛ ofiwura nim bere a owifo bɛba a anka ɔbɛwɛn de abɔ ne ho ban afi akorɔmfo ho no,
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ musiesie mo ho, efisɛ Onipa Ba no bɛba bere a mo ani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 “Hena ne ɔsomfo nokwafo nyansafo no, nea ne wura de ne fi mu asomfo ahyɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔmma wɔn aduan wɔ bere a ɛsɛ mu?
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Nhyira ne ɔsomfo a ne wura no bɛba abɛto no sɛ wayɛ nʼadwuma pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Meka mo nokware se ɔde nea ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa na wahwɛ so!
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Na sɛ ɔkɔyɛ ɔsomfo tirimuɔdenfo, na ɔka kyerɛ ne ho se, ‘Me Wura nnya mmae,’
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 na ofi ase boro ne mfɛfo nkoa, na ɔne akɔwensafo didi, bow nsa a,
And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Ɔsomfo no wura no bɛba da a nʼani nna so.
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 Ɔbɛtwe nʼaso dennen, na ɔde no akɔ baabi a wobu nyaatwomfo atɛn; ɛhɔ na osu ne setwɛre wɔ.
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
