Matthew 24 (MGH2016)

1Yesu ahokhuma Inupa ya Nlhuku, owiittucha awe vaawilhe aya nkayaamoniha manupa o Inupa ya Nlhuku.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Yesu nkeerelha, “Eiyo, nnowoona alha manupa onkhaye alha! Ikekhia kinouhimeriani, khaninhalha ata nlhuku nimoka ninohalha uhalha vaa vachulhu nikina, kila nlhuku ninowa uwulhushiya vathi.”“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.”

3Yesu vaari awe nakhanlhe vachulhu Mwaako wo Mizeituni, owiittucha yahonttwara untemerani, nkayaamwirelha, “Nnihimerie yoyo mwaha uyo unohalha ukhumelhelha iyaakhani? Ni ithikineha chani chinohalha ukhumelhelha unichuwelhiha uwa winyu ni umalha wo ilhapo?”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?”

4Yesu nkaakhulha, “Mwiishungeke nhiwe mwaathepiachiya ni ntu.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Ukhalhawaya attu enchi anowa aakhumelhelha eeraka kila mmoka wiira phi Kuristo ni ayo anoowa yaapoteriha attu enchi.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Nnoowa mweewa mwaha ikhoto ni itetesi cho ikhoto, nansho nhihuvihachiye. Ukhalhawaya yayo ahothananiya ukhumelhelha, nansho umalha unene uhinaaya.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.

7Nikosho nimoka inoowa yaatakana ni nikosho nikina, umwene mmoka unowa waatakana ni umwene nkina. Ikuruna ni utetemelha wo ilhapo unoowa waakhumelhelha vawo ni valhe.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Yayo onkhaye ayo ari thoko nkuri wo uweria wo wiittukulha mwaana.”All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Yamalhaka nnoowa mwaavariya mwapangelhiye ichimwa ni wiiviya. Makosho onkhaye anoowa aarushiya wo nlhatu wo nchina naka.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Attu enchi anoowa aahiya mirima chaya, anoowa aathumihana ni uvengana ashineneru.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Anoowa aakhumelhelha anamilhohi o woothacha enchi anohalha waapoteriha attu enchi.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Uhilhoka wa attu unoowa wunchereria, ni uttunana wa attu unowa uwolha.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Nansho ntu riyoothe noohalha uvilhelha mpaka umalhelha yoyo phi nohalha woopolhiya.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Nansho umalhelha uhinaya uphiya, alha Malhove Orera o Umwene wa Nlhuku alha, anoowa aahimiachiya ilhapo yonkhaye wo uhimiechesha wo attu onkhaye, vavawo umalhelha wo makosho phi nohalha aya uwa.”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“Nnoowa mwoona ‘Nrusho no utanganya’ naahimiye ni anamilhohi Nadanieli ninemenlhe vamapuroni vatakatifu, noshoma achuwelheke maana aya!So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Vavawo, arii Uyudea attawelheke umiakoni.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Ntu rii vanchaarani hikhuruwe vathi uukushani ittu mpaani mwawe.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Ntu rii umatani hihokolhie uwani ukusha ikuwo awe.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Ahothapana manyopani anohalha ukhalha ve iruttuni ni manyopani anaamwiha yayo mahuku ayo!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Munlhapelheke Nlhuku wiira uttawa winyu uhiwe nlhaalha wo uririya ama Nihuku no Wiittuwa!Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Ukhalhawaya uhuva wo yeyo ikatema iyo unolhoha ukhalha wulhupalhe uhinapacha woonia toka woopiya ilhapo mpaka lhelho nna. Mena kunowa waakhumelhelha tho.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Nansho Nlhuku homalha uwukulha yayo mahuku ayo, ahakaawukulhiye, khaawo ntu riyoothe akoopolhiye. Nansho wo nlhatu ni attu athanlhiye etu, Nlhuku noowa aawukulha yayo mahuku ayo.”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.

23“Paahi etu, ntu owirelhakani yayo mahuku ayo, ‘Kuristo rii vaa’ ama ‘rii valhe,’ nhinrumelhelhe.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Ukhalhawaya anoowa aakhumelhelha ashi kuristo o woothacha ni anamilhohi o woothacha, anoowa upanga cho ushangiha chulhupalhe ni woopiha cho waarimelhiha ata attu athanlhiye ni Nlhuku, yooriachaka.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Mwiiwelhelheke etu, mii kinowaamukani mahuku ahinaya uphiya.”See, I have told you in advance.

26“Paahi etu yowiirelhakani, ‘Mummweheke, rii uthakoni!’ Nhirumelhelhe, ama yeeraka ‘Mmweheke, eevinthe vaa!’ Nhirumelhelhe mena.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.

27Ukhalhawaya Mwaana a Ntu nohalha uwa thoko chineera aya wo uverunya vanomwalhelha aya unosha nchuwa mpaka uneelha nchuwa.”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“Vari ntembo, phi vakittu vanothukumana marepo.”Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“Wamalhakaru uhuva wo yayo mahuku ayo, nchuwa ninohelhiya ipiphi, mweeri khunowa waapharelha, ittotwa chinoomora wiirimu, ni machiri o wiirimu anoowa aatikhinyiya.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.’

30Ithikineha yo Mwaana a Ntu inoowa woonia wiirimu, ni makosho onkhaye o velhaponi anoowa aachukulhacha vanohalha aya umwoona Mwaana a Ntu awaaka vachulhu mahute o wiirimu wo ikuru ni nthimicho mulhupalhe.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.

31Nrombe nulhupalhe no mapalhapata ninowa uruma, ni uyo noowa waaruma minepa o wiirimu awe avire mithelha micheshe cho iphioo, ni waathukumaniha attu athanlhiye ukhuma mithelha chonkhaye ncheshe cho ilhapo.”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.

32“Mwiiittucheke etu malhikaaniho o mwiri wo nkhuyu. Maritta vanophuwa aya mathaakhuru, vavawo phi nochuwelha inyu wiira, ilhimwe ihaatameria.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Chiichammo etu, mwaattiva vanohalha inyu woona alha onkhaye alha apangiaka, mmweeke mwaachuwelha wiira ikatema ihaaya, wa ayo ukhumelhelha.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Wo ikekhiaye muupuwelheke wiira ulha mwaha wonkhaye ulha, unohalha ukhumelhelha ilha iyari ilha ihinavira.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Irimu ni ilhapo chinoovira, nansho malhove aka khanovira mena.”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Khaawo ntu chuwenlhe, nihuku mena ikatema, inolhoha uwa yaakhani, anakhalhaka minepa o wiirimu, mena Mwaana. Athithi vekha aya phi chuwenlhe.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Uwa wa Mwaana a Ntu unohalha ukhalha thoko chenre aya ikatema ya Anuhu.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Mahuku igarika ihinaphiya, attu yaari alhiaka ni uwuria, athelhaka ni uthelhiya, mpaka nihuku Anuhu vaakenlhe aya ikalhava yuulhupalhe, isafina,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.

39attu khayaachuwenlhe irini mpaka maashi o igarika vaawilhe aya, nkayaakusha onkhaye. Chiicho phi nohalha aya ukhalha nihuku Mwaana a Ntu vanolhoha awe uwa.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.

40Yeyo ikatema iyo attu elhi anowa ukhalha umatani, mmoka noochishiya, ni nkina noohiya.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Manyopani elhi anowa ushilha vamoka, mmoka nowa ukushiya, nkina nowa uhiiya.”Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42“Paahi etu nshiheke, ukhalhawaya khanchuwenlhe nihuku no uhokolhia Athithi inyu.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Mwanene inupa akaachuwenlhe nihuku noowa attu owiiya, nchuwelheke wiira anshelhelhiha, mena kaahiya inupa awe iphomolhiye.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.

44Wo chiichammo etu, ni inyu mwaatti nkalheke tayari, ukhalhawaya Mwaana a Ntu nolhoha uwa ikatema ihinaanyihera inyu.”For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Phi mpani etu, rii karumiya o ukhulhuvelhiya, o irusho? Ri ntu novahiya ntheko ni anene ntheko, wo weemelhelha akhunanawe ni waavaha cholhia ikatema yaayaka.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?

46Horeeriya yoyo karumiya nohalha uphwanyiya ni mwanene ntheko apangaka ntheko awe rata vanohokolhia aya uwani!Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, mwanene ntheko uyo nommaha yoyo karumiya uyo ntheko wo weemelhelha nhakhu awe wonkhaye.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Nansho akhalhaka karumiya o uhikhulhuvelhiya, nowiichirelha munrimani mwawe wiira, anene ntheko kanohokolhia phiyaru,But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49nkaachokholha waatakacha anamitheko akhunanawe, nkaalhia cholhia chiyo vekha awe ni uwuria vamoka ni attu o uhapalhiya.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Nansho mwanene ntheko noohokolhia nihuku nihinoweherera awe ni isaa ihichuwenlhe awe.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Phi vavawo mwanene ntheko, vanowa awe untwarusha, ni umweesha nlhoko mmoka ni anafiki. Wowo phi nohalha aya ukhalha ikutto ni ushilha miino.”Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
