Matthew 24 (IDC)

1IYesu ya kunu kidẹ ọna Ọnọng na akyeng ni, atina nga va yeni nga ivila ọna Ọnọng.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Ava ghulu bọ si, “Inu nu ivila ri nadidu? Aipang ni imẹ sọ tẹri nu, aki ya bọ utii uyeng ya kaya uce ba. Aki pulu yọ kọ nadidu.”“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.”

3IYesu ci kaya ugbana ni ishi nọ uzaitun ni atina nga va ba ukushi nga ka yayu bọ ki tẹri si, “Tẹri yi, aligba awii kọ ni udu di ki ba kọ? Ni ikẹmbọ shi amaa mani iki nu kọ ki ba ngọ kina usang asing?”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?”

4IYesu va yira bọ si, “Inu sa amaa kọ, ka ace aghọ ba ghẹmẹ nọ ba.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Ka ajiya nagigang ki ba kidẹ nọ uca mi, aki tẹri si, ‘Imẹ ni anga iKristi ngaa’, ka va ghẹmẹ ajiya nagigang.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Aki kọng ila ikọrọ kini irishu uma ọtitẹri. Inu ba kọng ẹrẹbata ba, kọ udidu uma ki tọ ba, ka amaa sọnọ baa ba.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.

7Ifọng ki kọrọ kini Ifọng, ẹrẹgọm ki kọrọ kini ẹrẹgọm. Aki ju idafo kini uzuru ẹrẹbọng ki ikini ika.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Udii shi kini ọkọng ẹrẹnọma ayiri sọ jẹẹ kọ ni.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9Kindọ ni asọ tọ ma nọ ọlọ, ka va pili nọ. Ajiya sing nadidu ki tọrọ nọ kidẹ nọ uca mi.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Akyua rau ni Ajiya nagigang ki kpaa nọ utumu kọ pii Ọnọng, aki gbra ace ka va tọrọ bọ ace.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Atina Ọnọng atẹri ki sang na pam ka aghẹmẹ ajiya na pam.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Uju akakiya nagigang, uyoo umani ajiya nagigang ju ace ki kpaa nọ utumu.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Aghọmani a bra umọr ni aki peni ufoo.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Aki va ma ila ididuma inga ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng ka sa amaa kọ shi ma ajiya, na amaa asing sọ ta ba.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.

15“Inu ki nu ima ibibi ingọ sa ukpaa, ọngọ mani aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng iDaniyel tẹri ni, ating kọ ọkọ uyer. Taa ni aghọ pila iwọọ kpẹlẹ.So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Ni, aghọmani ashi kidẹ isighi aYahudiya ti bọ ka kya bọ idẹ apang.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Aghọmani ashi ka aya ọkọ ufiya ba shulu si inga ki ya kpaa ima mani ishi kidẹ aca ba.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Aghọmani ashi ka aghumu ni aba vuu sa anga ki ya kpaa ima ufiya ba.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Ọlọ ayiri ushi na afo, kina aghọ kọ anọ kaidu akyua!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Inu shọr Ọnọng kọ uti kọnọ ma ba nọ ka akyua iriwe kọ awii uwuru aYahudawa ba.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Ka akyua ra ni aki kọng ọlọ nagigang, ighọmani asọnọ ju bu ba kọ kpaa kọ ju asing ki ta ka di akyua ri, aki sọ ju bọ ighọ ba.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Ada wasi awa awii najii ba ni, ace aghọ ta lang ngaa ba, ni aghọmani ahwiya sani aki wọ ace na awii kọIf those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

23“Akyua ra kọ ni, aghọmani atẹri nọ si, ‘Inu nu, aghọfoo we! ta awa ni, inu ma yira ba.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Ka atina ọnọng atẹri ki kunu, ka ju uma ọkọkọng kọnọ uma sa uwo ica ka zọọ ajiya kọ, kina aghọmani ahwiya insi uju ni.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Ni, isọ tẹri nọ kidẹ akyua.See, I have told you in advance.

26Kindọ ni insi atẹri nọ si, ‘Awudu ka aghumu,’ Inu ba kunu ba. Insi atẹri nọ si, ‘Ashi kidẹ ubọọ na ashọr,’ inu ma yira ba.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.

27Kọnọ umani inyigha ka ta uyer ki iripiya ki ma ta ka awura ni, kindọ ni ọba Anọ Ajiya ki shi kọ.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.

28“Ọkọ mani ọkọng shi kọ ni ọka wọ na aghavung ka curu kọ.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“Kai du akyua ni, ko utumu awii ọlọ ra ni, “‘Ọka vasa kpii iting, Ọpir uta ta wọ uyer ba. Ẹyẹrẹ ki kpira ka yaya, Ayẹrẹmọ ki zuru.’”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.’

30“Aidu akyua ra kọ ni amaa ba Anọ Ajiya ki ta nyeni kọ ka ayẹrẹmọọ. Naidu ite asing ri ki ci. Aki nu Anọ Ajiya na kyeng ba kidẹ amọ kini ẹrẹgọrọ na akyo nọ ujọọ ọgigang.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.

31Aki tọma kina atuma nga ka pẹni ẹrẹtọma ngọ shini ishimi nagigang, ka ma curu aghọmani ahwiya ki ishii ukunu ọnọng kọnọ ukpaa ọnọng kina ushii ata nọ ushi aya, kọ kpaa ka ayẹrẹmọọ kiya ta ka udaa.”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.

32Inu mẹẹ ice ima kukushi ọshẹ uweng. Insi ọvong nga sọju fọnọ ni, ọka kunu kini afa asasa, inu kpẹlẹ si ẹrẹkpẹrẹ yasọ ba wudu.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Kindọ wu ni insi inu nu ima umani imẹ tẹri nọ ni, inu ye si akyua ya sọ ba ayayo, ashi ka anyu ubọọ.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Iyiya ni sọ tẹri nọ, ajiya aya sing ri ki kpuru bọ ba, sọ uma ri nadidu ba.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Ayaya kina asing ki kpẹri wọ, upii mi ki kpẹr wọ ko na zẹẹ ba.”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36Ba aghọ ye awii ta akyua ni ima ri ki ba kọ, kina atuma Ọnọng ka ayaya mani ta anọ Ọnọng, Ate nga ka yayu nga.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Kọnọ mani aju ka awii iNuhu ni, kindọ ni ọki ba wọ kọ uki vuu Anọ Ajiya.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Kọ kpaa ka kyua ra ni ugya na amusum ọghọghẹ, asọ la, na sa, aghẹmẹ sọ voru ayiri, na amẹẹ ayiri ki ibila, ki ta ka awii umani iNuhu ghila nga ọgbọlọ.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.

39Ata kọ tọ ye ima mani ishi kidẹ ni, ugya ọghọghẹ ọkọ kpa bọ nadidu bọ. Kindọ ni uvuu Anọ Ajiya ki shi kọ.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.

40Akyua ra ni, agha pai ki shi ka aghumu, aki kpaa agha yeng kọ na ya agha yeng ya.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Ayiri apai ki shi kọ hwọ kọ utii uhwọ, aki kpaa agha yeng kọ, na aya agha yẹng ya.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42“Kindọ ni inu ci nọ ye, kọ nu ye nu awii mani Ọnọng ki vuu kọ ba.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Inu ye si, aghọ ọna ta ye si agba akyua kọ na ayi ki ba na ating, ara bra umọr ba, aki ya ka ghila ọna nga ba.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.

44Kindọ ni unu ci nọ ye, akyua mani ọta ye nu ba ni, akọ ni Anọ Ajiya ki ba wọ.”For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Inga shi agira aipang, agho shini ukpẹlẹ, angọ mani aghọ ọna nga sa nga ukyoo ọna nga, ki va ma ushẹ agira nga imila bọ kidẹ akyua lẹ?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?

46Agha anyu adaduma agira mani aghọ ọna nga ki ba ka ma peni nga na sọ ju utina nga.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Iyiya ni isọ tẹri nọ, aki ma adidu agira ka kyoo uma nadidu.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48kindọ aghọ ki ju agira ni aghọ ibibi yọ, aki va tẹri ẹrẹkwẹ nga, ‘aghọ ọna mi ki ta ba kai shang ba,’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49ọka wudu ni, a vasa tee aghọ ca aghikyo utina nga, asọ la na sa kina aghọ vura.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50ipeni aju kindọ ni, aghọ ọna nga ki ba ka awii umani agira ye ba, ka kyua mani aye ba,The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Aghọ ọna ki ca nga nagigang, ka va wa nga ashuwa kina aghọ uju unu ica. Ọkadọ wu ni aki ci kọnọ ọwọla ayiri.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
