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 departed 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 Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall 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 sat upon 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 thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ na obi annaadaa mo.
And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man 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 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 will hear of wars, and rumors 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 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 pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 Yeinom nyinaa bɛyɛ nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba no mfitiaseɛ.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Sɛ moyɛ me deɛ enti, wɔbɛyɛ mo ayayadeɛ, na wɔakum mo wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa,
Then will they deliver you up to be afflicted, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all 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.
And then will many be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Atorɔ adiyifoɔ bebree bɛsɔre, na wɔadaadaa mo mu pii.
And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.
12 Bɔne bɛdɔɔso wɔ ewiase, na abrɛ nnipa dɔ a wɔwɔ no ase.
And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will become cold.
13 Nanso, wɔn a wɔbɛgyina pintinn akɔduru awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa.
But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall 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 this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end 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 ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand, )
16 wɔn a wɔte Yudea no nnwane nkɔ Yuda mmepɔ so.
Then let them 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 house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Wɔn a wɔwɔ mfuom no nso nnsane wɔn akyi mmɛfa wɔn ntoma.
Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Na wɔn a wɔafa afuro ne wɔn a wɔturu mma saa ɛberɛ no mu no nnue!
And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
20 Na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ modwane no anyɛ awɔberɛ anaa Homeda.
But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
21 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔtaa a ɛbɛba no, ebi nsii wɔ ewiase abakɔsɛm mu da, na ebi nso rensi da.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 “Nokorɛm, sɛ wɔantwa saa nna no so a, nnipa nyinaa ase bɛtɔre.
And except those days should be shortened, there would no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall 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 man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] 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 false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so that, if [it were] possible, they would deceive the very elect.
25 Mabɔ mo kɔkɔ dada.
Behold, I have told you before.
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!
Wherefore, if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] 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 out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Na deɛ efunu wɔ no, ɛhɔ na apete mpa.
For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be collected.
29 “Ɔtaa no akyiri pɛ “‘awia bɛduru sum, na ɔsrane renhyerɛn; na nsoromma bɛtete ahwe, na wɔbɛwoso tumi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no.’
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 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 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 mʼabɔfoɔ a wɔrebɔ totorobɛnto aba, na wɔbɛboaboa wɔn a mayi wɔn no ano firi ɛsoro ano kɔka asase ano.
And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather his elect 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.
Now learn a parable of the fig-tree; When its branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
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 likewise ye, when ye shall 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.
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.
35 Ɛsoro ne asase bɛtwam akɔ, na me nsɛm deɛ, ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall 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 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 sɛdeɛ Noa berɛ so ɛyɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
But as the days of Noah [were], so will also the coming of the Son of man be.
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 that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into 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 be in the field; the one shall 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 [women will be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Enti, monwɛn ɛfiri sɛ, monnim da ko a Awurade bɛba.
Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
43 Sɛdeɛ onipa tumi wɛn de bɔ ne ho ban firi akorɔmfoɔ ho no,
But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken up.
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 in such an hour as 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 a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them 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, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
47 Nokorɛm, ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa.
Verily I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Na sɛ ɔyɛ akoa bɔne, na ɔka kyerɛ ne ho sɛ, ‘Me Wura nnya mmaeɛ,’
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming;
49 na ɔhyɛ aseɛ ha ne mfɛfoɔ nkoa, na ɔdidi, boro nsã a,
And shall begin to beat [his] fellow-servants, and to 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 [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
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 shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
