Matthew 24 (ROW)

1Basa naa ma, Yesus nae lao hela Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Leleꞌ Ana lao dea neu, ma ana mana tungga nara reu ratudꞌu Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ naa meulaun.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Te Ana nataa nae, “Ume ia memaꞌ meulauꞌ! Te rena, e! Nda dooꞌ sa te, ara ndefaꞌ hendi basa fatu ia ra.”“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.”

3Basa ma, Yesus lao neu endoꞌ sia lete Saitun. Boe ma ana mana tungga nara rema fo rae ola-olaꞌ mesaꞌ se ro E rae, “Amaꞌ! Sobꞌa mufadꞌe seluꞌ Amaꞌ oꞌolan faꞌ ra dei. Amaꞌ neneman naa dadꞌi fai hiraꞌ, e? Boe ma tatandan saa e? Boe ma raefafoꞌ a neteteꞌen taꞌo bee?”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?”

4Basa ma Yesus nataa nae, “Minea aom matalolole, o! Fo ama afiꞌ nene pepeko-lelekoꞌ.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Te dei fo atahori mataꞌ-mataꞌ rema toꞌo tendan nae, ‘Au ia, Kristus, Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli mia lele uluꞌ a.’ No taꞌo naa, ara peko-lelekoꞌ atahori hetar.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Mete ma hei mita atahori ratati, do ama rena haraꞌ rae, netatis sia bee-bꞌee, na, ama afiꞌ mimitau. Te dalaꞌ mataꞌ naa, musi dadꞌi. Te fai neteteꞌen nda feꞌe losa sa.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.

7Dei fo leo esa natati labꞌan leo laen. Nusa monaeꞌ esa natati labꞌan nusaꞌ laen. Rae nanggenggo sia bee-bꞌee. Boe ma fula-fai ndoes, manaseliꞌ boe!Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Te basa naa ra, feꞌe tatandaꞌ fefeun mana nafadꞌe oi, fai mateteꞌen deka-deka ena. Naa onaꞌ ina mairuꞌ nae bonggi, de ana medꞌa nambetan, huu fula-fai bobꞌonggin deka-deka ena.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9Dadꞌi hei musi minea aom maꞌabꞌebꞌesa, e! Te dei fo ara tao nggi doidꞌoso ma tao risa nggi. Dei fo atahori mia basa nusaꞌ ra ramanasa nggi seli, huu hei tungga Au.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Leleꞌ naa, atahori hetar rasadꞌea ma nda nau ramahere neu Au sa ena. Esa namanasa esa, ma esa seo esa.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Dei fo hambu mana peko-lelekoꞌ ra rae sira, Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan. Ma atahori hetar ramahere se.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Dei fo bau namadꞌoo na atahori deulaka nara bau ramanae, losa esa nda sue-lai esa sa ena.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Te atahori mana maꞌatataaꞌ losa mate, Dei fo Lamatualain fee ne masodꞌaꞌ.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Huu atahori musi dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain Hara-lii Malolen, losa ndule raefafoꞌ ia, naa fo basa atahori rahine Lamatuaꞌ dala ndoo-tetun. Basa naa fo fai mateteꞌen feꞌe losa ena na.”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.

15Yesus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lamatualain mana ola-olan Daniel suraꞌ soꞌal atahori esa deꞌulakan manaseliꞌ. Dei fo ana nema neu nambariiꞌ sia mamana meumare manaseliꞌ sia Lamatualain Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ na. No taꞌo naa ana tao nanggenggeo mamanaꞌ naa. Naa de Lamatua lao nasadꞌea hela mamanaꞌ naa. Naa! Mete ma hei mita onaꞌ naa ena, besa-bꞌesa, o! (Seka baca susura ia, musi nahine malolole!)So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Te naa dadꞌi tanda oi, fai-fai susa-sonaꞌ sia lelesu mataꞌ ena. Mete ma mita onaꞌ naa, na, atahori sia profinsi Yudea fela fo mela leteꞌ ata mii leo.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Mete ma hambu ruma lao hela ume ena, afiꞌ sudꞌi baliꞌ mii haꞌi sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra fai. Melaꞌ lai-lai leo, fo afi hambu sosoeꞌ.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Atahori mana sia osi rala, afiꞌ sudꞌi baliꞌ fo haꞌi teme nelusaꞌ fai. Mela mikindoo leo!And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Kasian seli neu ina mairuꞌ ra, ro ina mana rasusu ana mana bonggi feuꞌ ra. Te ara nda relaꞌ haelai rala sa.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20De malole lenaꞌ hei hule-oꞌe fo moꞌe sosoeꞌ naa afiꞌ dadꞌi sia fai udꞌan, do sia fai hahae tao ues.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Huu faiꞌ naa susa-sonan seli! Eniꞌ a mia Lamatualain naꞌadadꞌiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia losa nala faiꞌ ia, atahori nda feꞌe rita sususaꞌ manaseliꞌ mataꞌ naa sa. Boe ma atahori o nda rita seluꞌ sususaꞌ mataꞌ naa sa ena.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Te hei onton monaeꞌ, huu Lamatualin naꞌaꞌeꞌeku faiꞌ naa. Mete ma hokoꞌ, na, nda hambu atahori esa saa sa boe naꞌatataaꞌ nasodꞌa. Huu, Lamatualain sue atahori fo Ana pili nalaꞌ ra, naa de Ana naꞌaꞌeꞌeku fai-fai susa-sonaꞌ ra.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.

23Dei fo mete ma faiꞌ naa losa, hei rena atahori rae, ‘Mete dei! Kristus sia ia!’ Boe ma atahori laen fai rae, ‘Kristus sia naa!’ Te ama afiꞌ mimihere, e!At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Te dei fo atahori rema fo toꞌo tendan nae, ‘Au ia, Kristus!’ Ma laen ra fai rae, ‘Au ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan.’ Dei fo ara tao manadadꞌiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ rendiꞌ nitu a koasan fo peko-lelekoꞌ atahori. Ara sobꞌa-sobꞌa fo Lamatualain atahori nara nenepeko-lelekoꞌ!For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25De ama musi minea ao mara malolole, e! Fai susa-sonaꞌ naaꞌ ra nda feꞌe losa sa, te Au fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu nggi ena, o!See, I have told you in advance.

26Mete ma atahori rafadꞌe nggi rae, ‘Kristus sia rae moo loaꞌ naa!’ Na, ama afiꞌ naa mii. Ma, mete ma hambu fai rae, ‘Kristus sia ume ia rala!’, na, ama afiꞌ mimihere neu pepeko-leleko nara.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.

27Huu Au ia, Atahori Matetuꞌ a. Dei fo mete ma Au baliꞌ raefafoꞌ uma, basa atahori mete rita Au, onaꞌ atahori rita ndelas makahahadꞌoꞌ mana naronda mia seriꞌ rulu nisiꞌ seriꞌ muri.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.

28Mete ma Au baliꞌ uma, dei fo hei bubꞌuluꞌ Au sia bee. Onaꞌ atahori rahine, rae mete ma mbui kaaꞌ mana naa mburuꞌ a heo sia mamanaꞌ bee, na, sia naa hambu mana mburuꞌ a boe.”Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ fai, de nafadꞌe ana mana tungga nara nae, “Mete ma fai susa-sonaꞌ naa ra basa ena, ‘Dei fo relo dadꞌi hatuꞌ, fulan o nda naronda sa boe. Nduuꞌ ra tudꞌa mia lalai, ma basa koasa mana sia lalai ra ranggenggo.’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.’

30Basa naa ma, basa atahori ra o rita tanda sia lalai ata oi, Atahori Matetuꞌ a nae baliꞌ nema ena. Rita onaꞌ naa, ma basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia ramatau losa ara nggae. Te dei fo Au onda uma o leleeꞌ, fo ara feꞌe rita basa Au koasa ngga ma manaseli ngga.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.

31Boe ma Au pake maꞌoa mana nalii nahereꞌ fo parenda Lamatualain aten mana sia sorga reu raꞌabꞌue basa atahori fo Au tengga ala mia ndule raefafoꞌ ia, mia relo a mamana todꞌan losa relo a mamana mopon; mia dii losa ona.”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“Au haꞌi conto onaꞌ hau huuꞌ. Mete ma roon huni ena, naa natudꞌu oi, fai matobꞌiꞌ deka-deka losa ena.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma hei mita fai susa-sonaꞌ nema, onaꞌ Au ufadꞌe faꞌ ra naa, naa natudꞌu oi, Au deka-dekaꞌ uma ena.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34De ia na, rena malolole! Mia basa atahori masodꞌaꞌ leleꞌ ia, dei fo ruma nda feꞌe mate sa, te fai sususaꞌ naa ra losa ena.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Onaꞌ mae lalai no raefafoꞌ ia sambu-lalo, te Au Hara-Lii ngga ia naꞌatataaꞌ losa babꞌasan.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Nda hambu atahori rahine rae fai hiraꞌ na Au uma sa boe. Lamatualain aten mana sia sorga ra o, nda rahine sa boe. Au o, nda uhine sa boe. Akaꞌ Au Ama ngga nahine.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Te Au ia, Atahori Matetuꞌ a. Dei fo mete ma Au baliꞌ uma, naa onaꞌ lele uluꞌ a leleꞌ Noh feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Oe mandali monaeꞌ a nda feꞌe nema sa, te atahori raa-rinu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ ma sao rame-rame ona biasan. Ara tao taꞌo naa rakandooꞌ a, losa Noh hene ofai monaeꞌ rala neu.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.

39Te leleꞌ oe mandali monaeꞌ a nema nandali nendi se, dei de ara feꞌe na nggengger, ma feꞌe rahine saa manadadꞌiꞌ naa. Onaꞌ naa boe no Au uꞌuma ngga.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.

40Leleꞌ naa, mete ma atahori rua tao ues sia osi rala, aibꞌoiꞌ te, Lamatualain soꞌu nendi esa, ma Ana lao hela esa.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Mete ma inaꞌ rua mbau are, aibꞌoiꞌ te, Lamatualain soꞌu nendi esa, ma Ana lao hela esa.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Huu naa, hei o musi minea hatuꞌ-rerelon, te ama nda bubꞌuluꞌ fai hiraꞌ na hei Lamatuam nema sa.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Dudꞌuꞌa malolole, e! Mete ma tenu umeꞌ a bubꞌuluꞌ nae temba na naꞌo ra rema, na tantu ana nanea nakandooꞌ a, fo naꞌo ra afiꞌ umen rala reu.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.

44Dadꞌi hei o musi mihehere. Huu aibꞌoiꞌ te Au uma ena!”For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Hei musi dadꞌi onaꞌ atahori dedꞌenuꞌ ra fo tungga mikindooꞌ a malangga hihii-nanaun. Te mete ma malangga nae lao neu sia mamana dodꞌooꞌ na, ana soꞌu atahori dedꞌenuꞌ mataꞌ naa ra, fo mete-seꞌu ume isi nara nanaa-nininu nara.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?

46Mete ma malangga baliꞌ ma nita atahori dedꞌenu nara tao ue-tataos nara no maloleꞌ, tantu ana namahoꞌo no atahori naa.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Mimihere neu Au, te dei fo malangga fee koasa neu dedꞌenu nara fo mete-seꞌu basa hata-heto nara.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Te mete ma atahori dedꞌenuꞌ ra deꞌulakaꞌ, na tantu ana olaꞌ sia ralan nae,But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49‘Malole! Malangga lao onaꞌ ia na, seka bubꞌuluꞌ fai hiraꞌ fo ana baliꞌ, o!’ Duꞌa taꞌo naa ma, ana poko-paru nonoon mana tao ues laen ra. Boe ma ana endoꞌ naa-ninu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ naꞌabꞌue no mana mafuꞌ ra.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Ma nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa te, aibꞌoiꞌ ma malangga naa baliꞌ boe.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Boe ma malangga naa tao doidꞌoso e nda fefeet sa, basa de piru hendi e dea neu, fo leo naꞌabꞌue no atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ ra. Sia mamanaꞌ naa, basa se nggae eiei huu ara doidꞌosoꞌ rita mamate nara.”Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
