Matthew 24 (TBX)

1Yesu la veil xomek vambuing on me la eno e xe xel betiyeing la wou e. En xel embei talex xomek nimzamza wei toungale is xomek vambuing o wou e.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Moxo neil, “Xam ghe wei lulti beimambei ne? A neil wou xam zonghek bei, tyek xel se teyei bei bong qakous nge mendei lek nge, qe tyek xel banex dalus deteina.”“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.”

3Ka Yesu toundei lek lukendu Oliv, xel betiyeing venaxow lam wou e me teling. “Neil wou xa, gyeik inya tyek tine belup, me dee vati tyek nam a tax en ingwei wa being nam o me ingwei bouk na tip lek o?”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 lewexe, “Xam ghe gweiteyei xow en kandek xelti se nam a tyoxe xam.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5En tyek xel ngenong nam lek a leing, me na neimbei, ‘A Kilisi yo,’ me na tyoxe xomaxoneing ngenong.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Tyek xam a ngo vevek me qayeeng laweeng wei vevek o, ekom xam seng gwaleeng. Lulti beimambei ne tyek neing atyip, ekom bouk loxyus eno se ghei lam.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.

7Tembuing nge tyek qandi me bo vevek is tembuing nge, me tete lalei nge tyek bo vevek is tete lalei nge. Inyon tyek maxep ngandoung me tyek tembuing api nanghei beyeeng danghei danghei nei.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Lul dalus ne inye myavanei nambei myaxeeng wei yak mi umbek o.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Woyom tyek xel a zeimaxoun xam me bo nol wou xam de nyeis xam amey, me tembuing sapa tyek laleind bo nol wou xam en ay.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Lek bouk kayon xel ngenong tyek na toung demind wou xel xe wongeingis de tyek xel a dax ama vun me laleind bo nol wou ma,At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11me poropet tyonyeing ngenong tyek nam a tyip me na tyoxe xomaxoneing ngenong.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12En kwa nilul on tyek bo ngandoung, de xel ngenong tyek na saing kwa wei lalei vineing o,Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13ekom eti yeiw wei nale nikanzek me ena bouk loxyus eno tyek Anutu devind xel veil meyeing.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14De Xoulek Nimza tine en tete lalei eno tyek xel a neil e na eivek tembuing dalus en tembuing sapa na ngo, de woyom bouk loxyus eno tyek nam.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“Deka xam ghe gwei lul nilul ayang, wei mi wo nol wou lulul eno bale eivek beyeeng vambuing on nambei poropet Daniel neil en o.” Daniel 9:27 (Yon xam wei ghe mi pyaw qayeeng ne eno xam woulek e wo nimza.)So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16“Woyom eti yeiw wei mindei eivek Yudia eno xel a pek me na lek lukendu.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17De wangwei tambiy ti toumendei lek xomek demi qetyei eno tyek se detei nox a qou lul valu eivek beeng lalei.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18De tambiy ti toumendei eivek xuk eno se teyei bei nox me na qou e xe teimb ding nge.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Inyon tyek bo nilul ayang lek bouk tiyon en xel vex wei xeipouyek o me tayeiw wei di wo luul wou neu yo!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Xam a zeimemamim enok bouk wei pekeing eno qandi lek bouk wei nityuweing o lek bouk wei Sabat o.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21En lek bouk tiyon nimaying ngandoung tyek nam. Myaxeeng wei tembuing qandi vako yo me elam tyip gweimbeeng ne, eno nimaying ambei nyon se lam tulek xomaxoneing, de loxyus eno nimaying ambei nye tyek se nox atyip no.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Wangwei Anutu se qateiv bouk tiyon bo sepi, yond tyek qetya xomaxoneing on veil, ekom wounalei en moux alis vex wei beyal om qateiv bouk wo sepi.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.

23Lek bouk kayon eno wangwei xelti na neil wou wang bei, ‘Wei, Kilisi inye!’ o, ‘Moxo inyei!’ ond wang seng bongis qayeeng on.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24En xomaxoneing tyonyeing valu tyek na neimbei a Kilisi o a poropet ti. Me tyek xel nam a tyip me bong dee me lulvako, wangwei xel teyei nei on tyek xel a tyoxe xomaxoneing wei Anutu beyal o.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Wei, a neil wou xam a tax en lul dalus tine wei tyek nam atyip o.See, I have told you in advance.

26“Om wangwei xelti e neil wou xam, ‘Wei, moxo toundei eivek tembuing bandaing nei,’ yon xam seng na inyei, o ‘Moxo inye, toundei eivek xomek lalei nei,’ ond xam seng bongis.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.

27En nambei kawei zivip mi nex mema lam anghei ninei is xeiyaing me byex la lek tembuing tambak nei me la xeinei, om tyek bong ambei nyon lek bouk wei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux embei noum o.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.

28Lek beyeeng wei meyeing mi yeip lek o, inyon xel tuw mi qeku lak inyon.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“Ka nimaying sapa tine na ma veil le, woyom lutika eno “‘sayeiv tyek bo mapetok, de dentouk tyek se teyeimbei tel, me betum tyek detei nanghei tyoung nei, de tyoung dalus tyek bo pimapi.’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“Lek bouk kayon dee wei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux tyek nam mendei yaingateiv eivek tyoung, me xel veleivlei dalus wei tembuing eno tyek deeng. De tyek xel gyei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux mendi nam lek laxap, is nikanzek me xeiyaing ngandoung.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.

31Me moxo tyek bong e xe angelayeiw na is vukxax wei wo vya xoulekeing, me tyek xel qekuwou e xe xomaxoneing wei beyal o eivek tembuing sapa me ena tembuing myasepu dalus.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“Woyom xam a qou kwa wou xax basunghek. Gyeik xam ghe gwei bei xax mema wo nilouk me lis vako byex lek, xam ghe boulek bei bouk wei seiv embei siing eno lam paviy.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Nambei nyon om gyeik xam ghe gwei lul dalus ti beimambei ne, xam ghe boulek bei Xomaxoneing Neu lam paviy me toungale wou qapomb.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34A neil wou xam zonghek bei, xel moux alis vex ti gweimbeeng ne tyek se mey qe ka lulti beimambei ne neing atyip le.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Tyoung gheyapu me tembuing tyek nati, ekom a xe qayeeng tyek se teyei bei nati.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Xelti se woulek bouk o seivma wei Kilisi embei noum o, xel angela eivek tyoung gheyapu, o Neu moux se woulek, qe Ma venaxow.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Nambei ingwei eivek bouk wei Noaka yo, om tyek xel bong ambei kayon eivek bouk wei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux embei noum o.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Myaxeeng lek bouk wei memiing se ghei butek o, xomaxoneing mi ya me num, me iima, me iima lox me loum, me la tyip wou bouk wei Noaka la eivek sip o.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.

39Xel se woulek vati wei embei belup wou xel o dekakom memiing butek me qou xel dalus me la. Kwa kayon eno tyek bong ambei nyon lek bouk wei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux noum o.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.

40Moux yayuw toundei eivek xuk yaeing eno tyek Anutu na qou nge na veil de nge na toumendei.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Vex yayuw tyek mendi zouk wit, de tyek Anutu na qou nge de nge na toumendei.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42“Nambei nyon xam ghe gweiteyei xow, en nambei xam seng woulek bouk vati wei xam xe Tambiy Ngandoung tyek nam o.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Ekom xam ghe bou naleimim bei, wangwei xomek ma boulek seivma vati wei xel panaxeing embei nam o, moxo tyek mendei bin e xe xomek en kandek xelti se dembu me na eivek.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.

44Om xam is ambei nyon xam ghe gweiwou xow, en Xomaxoneing Neu Moux tyek nam lek seivma wei xam seng woulek bei tyek nam o.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Woyom xukxe eti ingwei lupeyei nimza wei mi yeiteyei e xe xuk wo nimza nei? Wei e xe teiv toung e yeiteyei xel xukxe eivek e beeng bei e mi bong yaeing wou xel lek bouk wei teiv beyal o bombek?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?

46Inyon nimza wou xukxe tiyon wei e xe teiv yei bei moxo mi wong xuk on gyeik e loum o.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47A neil wou xam zonghek bei, teiv tyek na toung embo lei ngandoung en lul dalus eivek e beeng.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Ekom wangwei xukxe tiyon tambiy nilul ti om mi neil wou xow, ‘A xe teiv la toundei dingta takwei nei,’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49woyom moxo la me leis e xe xel wei xel xouing mi wo xuk lekti yo, de mi ya me num is xel wei mi num me wo nol o.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Teiv wei xukxe tiyon tyek noum lek bouk wei xukxe se woulek me seivma wei se woulek o.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Teiv tyek bo myaveweeng ngandoung wou e me na toung e na is xel wei myend yuw o, nanghei inyon eno tyek xel deeng me xel newound bo nyiknyik.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
