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.
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 Nanso, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Wɔbɛdwiri saa dan yi agu pasaa!”
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 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)
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 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ na obi annaadaa mo.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you.
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 deceive many.
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.
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 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 earthquakes in divers places.
8 Yeinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfitiaseɛ.
But all these things are the beginning of travail-pains.
9 “Sɛ moyɛ me deɛ enti, wɔbɛyɛ mo ayayadeɛ, na wɔakum mo wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa,
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 na mo mu pii bɛsane akɔ bɔne mu, na moayiyi mo ho mo ho ama, na moatan mo ho.
And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Atorɔ adiyifoɔ bebree bɛsɔre, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many.
12 Bɔne bɛdɔɔso wɔ ewiase, na abrɛ nnipa dɔ a wɔwɔ no ase.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold.
13 Nanso, wɔn a wɔbɛgyina pintinn akɔduru awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa.
But he that endureth to the end 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.
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 “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, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand, )
16 wɔn a wɔte Yudea no nnwane nkɔ Yuda mmepɔ so.
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 Mma obiara a ɔwɔ ne efie ɛdan atifi no nsiane nkɔfa biribiara mfiri ne efie hɔ.
let not him that is on the house-top go down to take away the things belonging to his house;
18 Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuom no nso nnsane wɔn akyi mmɛfa wɔn ntoma.
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 Na wɔn a wɔafa afuro ne wɔn a wɔturu mma saa ɛberɛ no mu no nnue!
And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days!
20 Na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ modwane no anyɛ awɔberɛ anaa Homeda.
And pray that your flight be not in 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 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 “Nokorɛm, sɛ wɔantwa saa nna no so a, nnipa nyinaa ase bɛtɔre.
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 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 any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not.
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 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 Mabɔ mo kɔkɔ dada.
Lo! 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 say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not.
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 cometh from the east, and shineth 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 will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Ɔtaa no akyiri pɛ “‘awia bɛduru sum, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn; na nsoromma bɛtete ahwe, na wɔbɛwoso tumi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no.’
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 “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 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 Na mɛsoma mʼabɔfoɔ a wɔrebɔ totorobɛnto aba, na wɔbɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano firi ɛsoro ano kɔka asase ano.
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 “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.
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 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.
So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors.
34 Nokorɛ mese mo sɛ, awontoatoasoɔ yi rentwam, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place.
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 that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
37 Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛba no bɛyɛ sɛdeɛ Noa berɛ so ɛyɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
But as were the days of Noah, 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 the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
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 knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also 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 will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one left.
41 Saa ara nso na mmaa baanu a wɔwɔ efie renoa aduane no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agya ɔbaako no no.
Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left.
42 “Enti, monwɛn ɛfiri sɛ, monnim da ko a Awurade bɛba.
Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming.
43 Sɛdeɛ onipa tumi wɛn de bɔ ne ho ban firi akorɔmfoɔ ho no,
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 saa ara na ɛwɔ sɛ mosiesie mo ho, ɛfiri sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛba ɛberɛ a mo ani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
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 placed 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.
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Nokorɛm, ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa.
Truly do I say to you, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.
48 Na sɛ ɔyɛ akoa bɔne, na ɔka kyerɛ ne ho sɛ, ‘Me Wura nnya mmaeɛ,’
But if the bad servant say in his heart, My lord is tarrying long;
49 na ɔhyɛ aseɛ ha ne mfɛfoɔ nkoa, na ɔdidi, boro nsã a,
and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken,
50 ne Wura no bɛba ɛda a nʼani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba.
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 Ɔbɛtwe nʼaso denden, na ɔde no akɔ baabi a wɔbu nyaatwomfoɔ atɛn; ɛhɔ na wɔtwa agyaadwoɔ na wɔtwɛre wɔn se.
and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
