Matthew 24
1 Bí Jesu ti ń kúrò ni tẹmpili, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n fẹ́ fi ẹwà tẹmpili náà hàn án.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò ha rí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín gbogbo ilé yìí ni a yóò wó lulẹ̀, kò ní sí òkúta kan tí a ó fi sílẹ̀ lórí òmíràn, tí a kì yóò wó lulẹ̀.”
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 Bí ó ti jókòó ní orí òkè Olifi, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Sọ fún wa nígbà wo ni èyí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀? Kí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì ìpadà wá rẹ, àti ti òpin ayé?” (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 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni tàn yín jẹ.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ yóò wá ní orúkọ mi tí wọn yóò máa pe ara wọn ní Kristi náà. Wọn yóò ṣi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ lọ́nà.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 Ẹ ó máa gbọ́ ìró ogun àti ìdágìrì ogun, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe jáyà nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò lè ṣe kí ó ma ṣẹlẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òpin kì í ṣe àkókò náà.
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 Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò dìde sí orílẹ̀-èdè, àti ìjọba sí ìjọba. Ìyàn àti ilẹ̀ mímì yóò wà ní ibi púpọ̀.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì jẹ́ ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìpọ́njú tí ó ń bọ̀.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Nígbà náà ni a ó sì dá a yín lóró. A ó pa yín, a ó sì kórìíra yín ni gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin jẹ́ tèmi.
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 Àti pé, ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín yóò kọsẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ṣòfófó ara yín, ẹ̀yin yóò kórìíra ara yín pẹ̀lú,
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn èké wòlíì yóò farahàn, wọn yóò tan ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn jẹ.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yóò wà níbi gbogbo, yóò sì sọ ìfẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ di tútù,
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá forítì í dópin ni a ó gbàlà.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 A ó sì wàásù ìyìnrere nípa ìjọba náà yìí ní gbogbo ayé ká, láti ṣe ẹ̀rí fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nígbà náà ni òpin yóò dé.
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 “Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí ìríra ‘ìsọdahoro, tí a ti ẹnu wòlíì Daniẹli sọ,’ tí ó bá dúró ní ibi mímọ́ (ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kà á kí ó yé e),
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 nígbà náà ni kí àwọn tí ń bẹ ni Judea sálọ sí orí òkè.
Then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains:
17 Kí ẹni tí ó wà lórí ilé rẹ̀ má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá mú ohunkóhun jáde nínú ilé rẹ̀.
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Kí àwọn tí ó sì wà lóko má ṣe darí wá sí ilé láti mú àwọn aṣọ wọn.
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n àánú ṣe mí fún àwọn obìnrin ti ó lóyún, àti fún àwọn tí ó ń fún ọmọ loyan ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì!
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 Ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà kí sísá yín má ṣe jẹ́ ìgbà òtútù, tàbí ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 Nítorí ìpọ́njú ńlá yóò wà, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ọjọ́ ayé wá títí di ìsinsin yìí irú rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ṣí.
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 “Lóòótọ́, àfi bí a ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú, gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè yóò ṣègbé. Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ti àwọn àyànfẹ́ ni a ó fi ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú.
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 Nígbà náà, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Wo Kristi náà,’ tàbí pé ó ti farahàn níhìn-ín tàbí lọ́hùn ún, ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 Nítorí àwọn èké Kristi àti àwọn èké wòlíì yóò dìde. Wọn yóò sì ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu. Bí ó bá lè ṣe é ṣe wọn yóò tan àwọn àyànfẹ́ Ọlọ́run pàápàá jẹ.
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 Wò ó, mo ti kìlọ̀ fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀.
Behold, I have told you before.
26 “Nítorí náà, bí ẹnìkan bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Olùgbàlà ti dé,’ àti pé, ‘Ó wà ní aginjù,’ ẹ má ṣe wàhálà láti lọ wò ó, tàbí tí wọ́n bá ní, ó ń fi ara pamọ́ sí iyàrá,” ẹ má ṣe gbà wọn gbọ́.
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 Nítorí bí mọ̀nàmọ́ná ti ń tàn láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ìwọ̀-oòrùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jẹ́.
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 Nítorí ibikíbi tí òkú bá gbé wà, ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹyẹ igún ń kójọpọ̀ sí.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Lójúkan náà, lẹ́yìn ìpọ́njú ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, “‘ni oòrùn yóò ṣókùnkùn, òṣùpá kì yóò sì fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ hàn; àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run yóò já sílẹ̀, agbára ojú ọ̀run ni a ó mì tìtì.’
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 “Nígbà náà ni àmì Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì fi ara hàn ní ọ̀run, nígbà náà ni gbogbo ẹ̀yà ayé yóò káàánú, wọn yóò sì rí Ọmọ Ènìyàn tí yóò máa ti ojú ọ̀run bọ̀ ti òun ti ògo àti agbára ńlá.
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 Yóò sì rán àwọn angẹli rẹ̀ jáde pẹ̀lú ohùn ìpè ńlá, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo àwọn àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀ láti orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ayé àti ọ̀run jọ.
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 “Nísinsin yìí, ẹ kọ́ òwe lára igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́. Nígbà tí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ bá ti ń yọ tuntun tí ó bá sì ń ru ewé, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn súnmọ́ tòsí.
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì rí i tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá ń ṣẹlẹ̀, kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ìpadàbọ̀ mi dé tán lẹ́yìn ìlẹ̀kùn.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ìran yìí kì yóò kọjá títí tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Ọ̀run àti ayé yóò rékọjá, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ mi kì yóò rékọjá.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan ti ó mọ ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí òpin náà yóò dé, àwọn angẹli ọ̀run pàápàá kò mọ̀ ọ́n. Àní, ọmọ kò mọ̀ ọ́n, bí kò ṣe Baba mi nìkan ṣoṣo ló mọ̀ ọ́n.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Bí ó ṣe rí ní ìgbà ayé Noa, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì rí.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 Nítorí bí àwọn ọjọ́ náà ti wà ṣáájú ìkún omi, tí wọ́n ń jẹ́ tí wọ́n ń mu, tí wọ́n ń gbéyàwó, tí wọ́n sì ń fa ìyàwó fún ni, títí tí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí Noa fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀.
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 Ènìyàn kò gbàgbọ́ nípa ohun tí o ṣẹlẹ̀ títí tí ìkún omi fi dé nítòótọ́, tí ó sì kó wọn lọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oko, a o mú ẹnìkan, a ó sì fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Àwọn obìnrin méjì yóò jùmọ̀ máa lọ ọlọ pọ̀, a yóò mú ọ̀kan, a ó fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Nítorí náà, ẹ múra sílẹ̀, nítorí ẹ kò mọ ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yín yóò dé.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 Ṣùgbọ́n, kí ẹ mọ èyí pé, baálé ilé ìbá mọ wákàtí náà tí olè yóò wá, ìbá máa ṣọ́nà, òun kì bá ti jẹ́ kí a já wọ ilé rẹ̀.
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 Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọdọ̀ wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀, nítorí ní wákàtí àìròtẹ́lẹ̀ ni dídé Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jẹ́.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 “Ǹjẹ́ olóòtítọ́ àti ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ wo ni olúwa rẹ̀ lè fi ṣe olùbojútó ilé rẹ̀ láti bọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lójoojúmọ́?
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 Alábùkún fún ni ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ti olúwa rẹ̀ dé tí ó sì bá a lórí iṣẹ́ ṣíṣe.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, èmi yóò sì fi irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ ṣe alákòóso gbogbo ohun tí mo ní.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà bá jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú náà bá wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, ‘Olúwa mi kì yóò tètè dé.’
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 Tí ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ si í fi ìyà jẹ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó ń jẹ, tí ó sì ń mu àmupara.
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Nígbà náà ni olúwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ yóò wá ní ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí kò retí.
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 Yóò sì jẹ ẹ́ ní ìyà gidigidi, yóò sì rán an sí ibùgbé àwọn àgàbàgebè, níbẹ̀ ni ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke yóò wà.
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
