Matthew 24 (CTH)

1Jisuh ni bawkim dawk hoi a tâco teh alouklah a cei navah, bawkim saknae imnaw hah pâtue hanlah a hnukkâbangnaw ni rek a hnai awh.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Jisuh ni hete hnonaw pueng hah na hmu awh nahoehmaw. Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Raphoe laipalah talung buet touh e avan, buet touh kangna hai kamhmung mahoeh atipouh.“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

3Hathnukkhu, Olive Mon dawk a tahung navah, a hnukkâbangnaw ni alouknaw bawk laipalah Jisuh koe rek a hnai awh teh, hote hnonaw teh nâtuek maw a tho han, let na tho nahane hoi talaivan a pout nahane minoutnaw teh bangtelamaw ao han na dei pouh haw atipouh awh.While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Jisuh ni, ahnimouh koevah, apipatet ni hai na dum awh hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet awh.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Tami kapap ni kai doeh Khrih ati vaiteh, Kaie min lahoi haiyah tho a vaiteh, tami kapap hah a dum awh han.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Taran kâtuknae hoi, tarankâtuk nahane kamthang hai na thai awh han. Hatei, na puen awh hoeh nahanelah, kâhruetcuet awh. Hote hnonaw teh kaawm han. Hatei a poutnae nahoeh rah.You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7Miphun buet touh hoi buet touh, uknaeram buet touh hoi buet touh a kâtaran awh han. Kho tangkuem a takang vaiteh, lacik a pung han, tâlî a no han.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Hotnaw hateh runae kamtawngnae doeh.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9Hat torei teh taminaw ni rektap hanlah, thei hanlah na man awh han. Ka min kecu dawk tami pueng ni na pahnawt awh han.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Hat torei teh tami kapap ni lawkkam raphoe vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpahnawt awh vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâmaithoe awh han.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Profet kaphawk pap vaiteh tami kapap a dum awh han.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Hounlounnae apap han, lungpatawnae a roum han.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Apipatethai apout ditouh ka khang e teh hloutnae a hmu han.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Uknaeram kamthang kahawi heh miphun pueng koe lawkpanuesaknae lah ao na hanlah, talaivan pueng dawk pâpho lah kaawm han. Hahoi, teh poutnae a pha han.And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15Hatdawkvah profet Daniel ni a dei e patetlah panuetthopounge karaphoekung kathounge hmuen dawk kangdue e na hmu awh torei teh, Cakathoung ka touk e ni thai panuek naseh.So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Hottelah hmu lah awm pawiteh, Judea ram kaawm e naw ni monsom lah yawng awh naseh.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Lemphu kaawm e ni imthungkhu e hno la hanlah kum hanh naseh.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Laikawk koe kaawm e ni hai a khohna la hanlah hnuklah kamlang hanh lawiseh.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Hot na hnin toteh camo ka neng e napui hoi camosen kaawm e napuinaw teh puenghoi a ru awh han.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Na yawng awh nahane teh pâding tue hoi sabbath hnin dawk a kâvoe hoeh nahanlah ratoum awh.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Bangkongtetpawiteh, talaivan pek a kamtawng hoi atu totouh kaawm boihoeh rae, ao hnukkhu hoi hai bout kaawm hoeh hane puenghoi runae teh hatnae tueng nah a tâco han.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Hote tueng teh saw pawiteh apipatet ni hai hlout thai mahoeh. Rawi e taminaw hane kecu dawk hote tueng hah a duem sak han.If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

23Hattoteh apipatet ni hai hi doeh Khrih ao, haw doeh Khrih ao ka tet nakunghai yuem awh hanh.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Bangkongtetpawiteh, khrihkaphawknaw hoi profetkaphawknaw tâcawt vaiteh, rawi tangcoung e naw patenghai dum thai pawiteh dum thai nahanelah, kalenpounge mitnout hoi kângairunae hnonaw hah a kamnue sak awh han.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Thai awh haw, sut na dei pouh awh.See, I have told you in advance.

26Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni Khrih teh thingyeiyawn doeh ao ka tet awh nakunghai tâcawt awh hanh. Imthung doeh ao ka tet nakunghai yuem awh hanh.So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

27Sumpa teh kanîtho koehoi apalik nah kanîloum totouh a ang e patetlah tami Capa teh ka tho han.For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28Ro aonae koe langtanaw ni a kamkhueng han.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29Hatnae tueng runae hnukkhu, kanî teh vaitalahoi a hmo han. Thapa teh ang mahoeh. Âsinaw teh kalvan hoi a bo awh han. Kalvannaw e bahu teh a kahuet awh han.Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

30Hattoteh tami Capa e mitnout teh kalvan vah a kamnue han. Talai van tami pueng ni a khuika awh vaiteh, tami Capa ni kalenpounge bahu hoi kalenpounge bawilennae tâmai kâcui vaiteh a kum e hah na hmu awh han.At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31Hahoi a kalvantaminaw hah kacaipounge mongka lawk hoi patoun vaiteh, talai takin pali touh koe e kalvan apoutnae koehoi avanglae apoutnae koe totouh, a rawi tangcoung e taminaw hah a pâkhueng awh han.And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32Thaibunglung kung hoi bangnuenae hah pâkuem awh. Thaibunglung kung ni a dawn a cawn teh a hnanaw a naw toteh, kompawi a hnai toe tie hah na panue awh.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Hot patetlah hote a konglam abuemlah na hmu awh toteh, tami Capa teh takhang koe totouh a tho toe tie hah panuek awh.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Atu e catounnaw be a due awh hoehnahlan hote konglam pueng ka tâcawt han.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Kalvan hoi talai teh a rawk han, hatei ka lawk teh a kangning han.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36Hote tueng teh apinihai panuek hoeh. Kalvan e kalvantaminaw ni hai panuek hoeh. Apa ni dueng doeh a panue.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Tami Capa a kum toteh Noah senae patetlah kaawm han.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Noah ni tuikamuem hoehnahlan hoi long thung a kâen ditouh tami pueng ni a canei awh, a kâpaluen awh, a kâhâ awh.For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

39Tui kamuem a tho toteh taminaw pueng koung raphoe ditouh a thada e patetlah tami Capa a kum toteh hotpatetlah ka tâcawt han.And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40Hattoteh law kaawm e tami kahni touh dawk buet touh a la vaiteh buet touh a ceitakhai han.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Cakang ka phawm roi e napui kahni touh dawk buet touh a la vaiteh buet touh a ceitakhai han.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Nangmae Bawipa teh nâtuek maw a tho han ti na panue awh hoeh dawkvah ring awh.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Tamru a tho nahane tueng heh imkung ni panuek pawiteh a paru thai hoeh nahanlah a ring han doeh tie teh na panue awh.But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

44Hatdawkvah coungkacoe awm awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh na poukhoehnae tueng dawk tami Capa teh ka tho han.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45Bawipa ni amae imthungnaw hah atueng a pha toteh rawcanaw poe sak hanlah kaukkung lah a rawi e yuemkamcunae hoi lungangnae hoi kakuep e san kahawi teh apimaw .Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

46Bang patet e san hai hottelah a sak e hah a Bawipa ni a hmu pouh e teh a yawhawi.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Bawipa ni hot patet e san koevah a hnopai kaawm e pueng hah a poe han.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Hatei, san kathout ni teh a lungthin dawk hoi ka Bawipa heh tho hnai mahoeh telah a pouk laihoi,But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49a huinaw hah a hem a bo teh hounloun, yamuhrinaw hoi a canei awh.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50A bawipa teh a poukhoehnae hoi a panuehoehnae tueng dawk a tho teh,The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51hote san hah puenghoi yue vaiteh khuikanae, hâ katanae hmuen koe ka kâsak e naw hoi cungtalah hmuen a hmoun pouh awh han.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
