Mateo 24
1 Yesu refiri baabi a asɔredan no si hɔ no, nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyerɛkyerɛ no adan ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu.
Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 Nanso, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Wɔbɛdwiri saa dan yi agu pasaa!”
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 Yesu kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔ no so. Ɔte hɔ no, nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na deɛ woreka yi bɛba? Na nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛn na ɛbɛma yɛahunu wo ba a wobɛsane aba bio no ne ewiase awieeɛ a ɛbɛba no?” (aiōn g165)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples 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 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ na obi annaadaa mo.
Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 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 the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
6 Sɛ mote sɛ akokoakoko resi afanan nyinaa a, ɛnkyerɛ me ba a mɛsane aba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ yeinom ba, nanso awieeɛ no deɛ, ɛnnya mmaeɛ.
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 Aman bɛsɔre aman so, na ahennie asɔre ahennie so, na ɛkɔm ne asasewosoɔ bɛba mmeammea.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in various places.
8 Yeinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfitiaseɛ.
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Sɛ moyɛ me deɛ enti, wɔbɛyɛ mo ayayadeɛ, na wɔakum mo wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa,
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 na mo mu pii bɛsane akɔ bɔne mu, na moayiyi mo ho mo ho ama, na moatan mo ho.
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Atorɔ adiyifoɔ bebree bɛsɔre, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
12 Bɔne bɛdɔɔso wɔ ewiase, na abrɛ nnipa dɔ a wɔwɔ no ase.
And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 Nanso, wɔn a wɔbɛgyina pintinn akɔduru awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa.
But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
14 Na wɔbɛka asɛmpa a ɛfa Ahennie no ho no wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa, na wɔate. Ɛno akyi ansa na awieeɛ no bɛba.
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 “Enti, sɛ mohunu ‘Adeɛ a Ɛyɛ Hu’ a, Odiyifoɔ Daniel kaa ho asɛm sɛ ɛgyina kronkronbea hɔ no a, ma deɛ ɔkenkan no nte aseɛ,
"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 wɔn a wɔte Yudea no nnwane nkɔ Yuda mmepɔ so.
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Mma obiara a ɔwɔ ne efie ɛdan atifi no nsiane nkɔfa biribiara mfiri ne efie hɔ.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
18 Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuom no nso nnsane wɔn akyi mmɛfa wɔn ntoma.
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
19 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 nursing mothers in those days.
20 Na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ modwane no anyɛ awɔberɛ anaa Homeda.
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
21 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔtaa a ɛbɛba no, ebi nsii wɔ ewiase abakɔsɛm mu da, na ebi nso rensi da.
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 “Nokorɛm, sɛ wɔantwa saa nna no so a, nnipa nyinaa ase bɛtɔre.
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 Sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Agyenkwa no wɔ ha anaasɛ ɔwɔ nohoa anaa wayi ne ho adi wɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ’ a, monnye nni.
"Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.
24 Atorɔ Akristofoɔ ne atorɔ adiyifoɔ bɛsɔre, na wɔayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ na sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, wɔadaadaa wɔn mpo a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no.
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 Mabɔ mo kɔkɔ dada.
"See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Enti, sɛ obi ka kyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Agyenkwa no asane aba na ɔwɔ ɛserɛ so a,’ monnha mo ho sɛ mobɛkɔ hɔ akɔhwehwɛ no; ‘anaasɛ nso ɔde ne ho asie baabi a,’ monnye nni!
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 Na sɛdeɛ anyinam pa firi apueeɛ kɔ atɔeɛ no, saa ara na sɛ Onipa Ba no reba a, ɛbɛyɛ ara ne no.
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 Na deɛ efunu wɔ no, ɛhɔ na apete mpa.
Wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.
29 “Ɔtaa no akyiri pɛ “‘awia bɛduru sum, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn; na nsoromma bɛtete ahwe, na wɔbɛwoso tumi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no.’
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 “Afei, Onipa Ba no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛda adi, na ɛsoro ne asase sofoɔ nyinaa bɛtwa agyaadwoɔ. Na ewiase amanaman bɛhunu me, sɛ mede tumi ne animuonyam nam ɛsoro omununkum mu reba.
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 Na mɛsoma mʼabɔfoɔ a wɔrebɔ totorobɛnto aba, na wɔbɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano firi ɛsoro ano kɔka asase ano.
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 “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 its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33 Saa ara nso na sɛ mohunu sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa afiti aseɛ resisi a, mobɛhunu sɛ meba a mɛsane aba no abɛn, aduru apono ano.
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Nokorɛ mese mo sɛ, awontoatoasoɔ yi rentwam, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
35 Ɛsoro ne asase bɛtwam akɔ, na me nsɛm deɛ, ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 “Nanso, ɛda anaa dɔn ko a awieeɛ no bɛba deɛ, obiara nnim. Ɔsoro abɔfoɔ ne Onyankopɔn Ba no mpo nnim. Agya no nko na ɔnim.
But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.
37 Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛba no bɛyɛ sɛdeɛ Noa berɛ so ɛyɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
"As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
38 Na sɛdeɛ nna a ɛdi nsuyire no anim no, nnipa didiiɛ, na wɔnomeeɛ, warewareeɛ, de kɔsii ɛda a Noa kɔɔ ɛhyɛn no mu,
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 na nnipa annye deɛ ɛbɛba anni, kɔsii sɛ nsuyire bɛfaa wɔn nyinaa kɔeɛ no, saa ara na Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛsane aba no bɛyɛ.
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 Saa ɛberɛ no, wɔbɛfa mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuom no mu baako akɔ, na wɔagya ɔbaako.
Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
41 Saa ara nso na mmaa baanu a wɔwɔ efie renoa aduane no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agya ɔbaako no no.
Two will be grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Enti, monwɛn ɛfiri sɛ, monnim da ko a Awurade bɛba.
Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
43 Sɛdeɛ onipa tumi wɛn de bɔ ne ho ban firi akorɔmfoɔ ho no,
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 saa ara na ɛwɔ sɛ mosiesie mo ho, ɛfiri sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛba ɛberɛ a mo ani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 “Hwan ne ɔsomfoɔ nokwafoɔ nyansafoɔ no, deɛ ne wura de ne fidua mu asomfoɔ ahyɛ ne nsa sɛ ɔmma wɔn adwuma wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu?
"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 Nhyira ne ɔsomfoɔ a ne wura no bɛba abɛto no sɛ wayɛ nʼadwuma pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Nokorɛm, ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa.
Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 Na sɛ ɔyɛ akoa bɔne, na ɔka kyerɛ ne ho sɛ, ‘Me Wura nnya mmaeɛ,’
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'
49 na ɔhyɛ aseɛ ha ne mfɛfoɔ nkoa, na ɔdidi, boro nsã a,
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 ne Wura no bɛba ɛda a nʼani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
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 Ɔbɛtwe nʼaso denden, na ɔde no akɔ baabi a wɔbu nyaatwomfoɔ atɛn; ɛhɔ na wɔtwa agyaadwoɔ na wɔtwɛre wɔn se.
and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
