Marko 13
1 Yesu refiri asɔredan no mu hɔ no, nʼasuafoɔ no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, adan yi yɛ fɛ papa. Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔde aboɔ asiesie afasuo no.”
As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”
2 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ deɛ, nanso wɔbɛdwiri saa ɛdan yi agu pasaa.”
Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”
3 Ɛberɛ a ɔte Ngo Bepɔ no so a nʼani tua Yerusalem no, Petro, Yakobo, Yohane ne Andrea baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ,
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 “Ɛberɛ bɛn na deɛ woreka fa asɔredan yi ho no bɛba mu. Na nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi bɛdi ɛkan aba ansa anaa?”
“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ yie na obi annaadaa mo.
Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 Nnipa bebree de me din bɛba abɛka sɛ wɔne Agyenkwa no, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and will lead many astray.
7 Akokoakoko bɛsisi afanan nyinaa, nanso ɛnyɛ ɛnonom ne awieeɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ.
“When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 Aman bɛsɔre aman so, na ahennie asɔre ahennie so na asasewosoɔ ne ɛkɔm bɛba mmeammea. Yeinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfitiaseɛ.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Nanso, sɛ yeinom fiti aseɛ sɛ ɛreba a, monhwɛ yie! Mobɛkɔ ɔhaw akɛseɛ mu. Esiane sɛ modi mʼakyi enti, wɔbɛtwe mo akɔ asɛnniiɛ; wɔbɛhwe mo wɔ asɔredan mu, na wɔaka nsɛm agu mo so wɔ ahemfo ne mpanimfoɔ anim. Saa ɛberɛ no ne berɛ pa a ɛsɛ sɛ moka Asɛmpa no kyerɛ wɔn.
“But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.
10 Na ɛsɛ sɛ Asɛmpa no di ɛkan duru ɔman biara so ansa na awieeɛ no aba.
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
11 Na sɛ wɔkyere mo de mo bɛgyina asɛnniiɛ a, monnnwene deɛ mobɛka de ayi mo ho ano ho. Monka deɛ Onyankopɔn bɛkyerɛ mo sɛ monka no. Na ɛnyɛ mo na mobɛkasa, na Honhom Kronkron no na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo deɛ monka.
When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 “Onua bɛyi onua ama sɛ wɔakum no. Saa ara na agyanom nso bɛyi wɔn mma ama. Mma bɛsɔre atia wɔn awofoɔ ama wɔakum wɔn.
“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 Me enti, nnipa nyinaa bɛtan mo. Nanso, deɛ ɔbɛtumi agyina pintinn akɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 “Enti, sɛ mohunu akyiwadeɛ a ɛbɔ ɔman wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ a, ɔkenkanfoɔ, hwɛ yie! Wɔn a wɔwɔ Yudea no nnwane nkɔ mmepɔ no so.
“But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
15 Wɔn a wɔwɔ wɔn afie mu no nnwane a wɔnnsane nkɔ efie hɔ bio nkɔfa biribiara mmfiri hɔ.
and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuom no nso nnsane wɔn akyi mmɛfa sika anaa ntoma wɔ efie.
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
17 Na wɔn a wɔafa afuro ne wɔn a wɔturu mma saa ɛberɛ no mu no nnue.
But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
18 Na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ modwane no anyɛ awɔberɛ.
Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
19 Na ahohia a ɛbɛba saa mmerɛ no mu no, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ adeɛ no, ebi nsii da, na ebi nso rensi da.
For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20 “Gye sɛ Awurade twa saa amanehunu no so, anyɛ saa a, ɔkra baako koraa rentena ase. Nanso, ɛsiane wɔn a wɔayi wɔn no enti, ɔbɛtwa nna no so.
Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
21 Na sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Agyenkwa no ni’ a, mommua.
Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
22 Atorɔ Kristo ne atorɔ adiyifoɔ bɛsɔre wɔ mo mu, na wɔayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ, na sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, wɔadaadaa Onyankopɔn no ara ankasa mma.
For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
23 Monhwɛ yie, ɛfiri sɛ, maka biribiara akyerɛ mo!
But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 “Ahohia no akyi no, “‘owia bɛduru sum, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn,
But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 na nsoromma bɛtete ahwe, na wɔbɛwoso tumi a ɛwɔ ewiem no.’
the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 “Na nnipa nyinaa bɛhunu me, Agyenkwa no, sɛ mede tumi ne animuonyam nam omununkum mu reba.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Na mɛsoma mʼabɔfoɔ akɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa, firi ɔsoro ano akɔka asase ano, na wɔabɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano.
Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
28 “Afei, monsua biribi mfiri borɔdɔma dua no ho asɛm no mu. Sɛ ɛyi mman foforɔ, sane yi ahahan foforɔ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ asusɔ abɛn.
“Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
29 Sɛ mohunu sɛ saa nneɛma yi a maka ho asɛm akyerɛ mo yi nyinaa afiti aseɛ resisi a, mobɛhunu sɛ me ba a mɛsane aba no abɛn.
even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Nokorɛ me se mo sɛ, awontoatoasoɔ yi rentwam, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Ɔsoro ne asase bɛtwam akɔ, na me nsɛm deɛ, ɛrentwam da.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 “Nanso ɛda anaa dɔn ko a awieeɛ no bɛba deɛ, obiara nnim. Ɔsoro abɔfoɔ ne mʼankasa mpo nnim. Agya no nko ara na ɔnim.
“But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Esiane sɛ monnim berɛ ko a asɛm yi bɛsi enti, monsiesie mo ho. Monwɛn, ntwɛn me ba no.
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
34 Me ba no te sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔtuu ɛkwan kɔɔ ɔman foforɔ bi so. Ɔrebɛkɔ no, ɔkyerɛɛ adwuma a nʼapaafoɔ nyɛ. Ɛnna ɔka kyerɛɛ ne wɛmfoɔ nso sɛ, ɔnwɛn hɔ yie nkɔsi sɛ ɔbɛba.
“It is like a man travelling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 “Enti, mo nso monwɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, monnim berɛ ko a efiewura no bɛba. Ɛbɛtumi aba sɛ ɔbɛba anwummerɛ, ɔdasuom, ahemadakye anaa awia.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming—whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36 Sɛ ofu mu ba a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbɛto mo sɛ moadeda.
lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
37 Asɛm a mede agya mo ne nnipa nyinaa ni. ‘Monwɛn.’”
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
