Matthew 24 (XSN)

1Nangka Yeso ka suri Akwilǝ Ashili me, kaya nyimi teyeno, na atoma akai de nane wore kai masosowa ma Akwilǝ Ashili me.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Na ka bekaa nee na, ‘Eya gonta pate masosowa maana? Eyang dongdong obele ying, ata baya le cale leyende kaa ayo baya aza leyende ne. Ayo bacakare ai aa pat.’“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.”

3Yeso ka ya cikǝ oyara o Zaitun, na atoma akai ne deya kai aa suk, nane beka kai na, ‘‘Bele ro, ngmǝyamea aya eza mapa maana? Eya kangza eyo wore ro odeya o, ka omare lerambo?”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?”

4Na Yeso kabare nee, naka bekaana, “Eza na a sauwo, tana ondo rende ying ne.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Obena aromo a cake neyo deya aa nyimi leze leng, aane beyaa na, ‘Mia Almasipu’, ka ne rendeze aromo aa cak.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Eyo kang konaza marooka ma okara kaa ngmǝ acak azaa makara. Tana ekone boome ne, azaa obena dongdong nyimi yo ya, aa omaare tata suri.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.

7Aromo apeng neyo gera aromo apeng yende bete, togomo teyo gera togomo te yende bete. Ayo eza ekomo kangza, kaa o zukǝrzu adeze, a kuruwǝ.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Aa pate ka nyimi, onna obora o zitǝa belle.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Malo nyimi neyo niyi ying ka gǝǝzǝ ying, aa kang wongha ying. Pate aromo yo nyana ying aza leze leng.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10A were na mea aromo acake yo rizi, neyo iri tukpwei, aa ne nyana tukpwei.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Atoma o rendaza a cake yo susǝ, aa ne rendeze aromo a cak.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Azaa waale ogongha araaburu, o yeme aromo acake yo kasarno.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Aa pate ondooka wa motana aa ale omaare wayo bisǝ.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Ayo kang baala orooka o leba o togomo te Ashili teena a pate kuruwǝ a nyimi lerambo leena. Malo o nyimi o maare de.”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“Azaa nyimi, pate awere aaka e laka epa e berebere, o deesa ka ocara, oo ka ondo obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili Daniyel wa beye angmǝ azaa me, aa waya itǝ ara aa sangsang. Ondo o soola awa rose.So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Aa andaaka neya makeke ma Yahudiya songha ne lyǝ aa mayara.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Tana ondooka wa ya azaa akwilǝ jipi a jeka eyapa a nyimi akwilǝ me ne.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Ondooka waya ara kangza, tana wa kuri aa jeka odibi owai ne.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Andaye aaka neya ka etumǝ ka ana lewanyo, neyo zitǝ.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Bosa na Ashili tana tesong teying de aa lekoze na lengme le o teseke ne.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Aa werename ayo kala o ara ozitǝ, ombela ooka ata aa tukǝ ezame o era obora lerambo aa deya awereena ne. Ato kang sukǝ nyimi ne dakemeeme.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Bangka a kashe shengme sheme ne, ondo ta zene ka waa yoo bisǝ ne, obena andaaka Ashili a zaka ne rene, ayo kashe shengme sheme.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.

23Awere name pate ondooka wa beka aying na ‘Almasipu waana!’ Koona, ‘Awa niini!’ Tana e kabare ne.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Ma Almasipu kaa ana o beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili ma orenda kaa neyo deesa, kane ezeze mapapa ma o tesa ukpwei, adorana ne wilǝrǝ pate ka andaaka Ashili a zake, nyimi waayo ya.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Konanna! Ma bekaa ying ka orabo.See, I have told you in advance.

26“Nee bekaa ying na ‘Lakana, awa niini a owake, tana e ale ne.’ Nee kang bekaa ying na, ‘Awaana ara o baasa,’ tana e kabare ne.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.

27Nangka malmi eze masanto aa surǝ aa dizi aa alea aza, nyimi o kurǝ o Kena ka Oromo yo itǝ.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.

28Pate ara aaka ekeze rene, aya ejogaale kurkǝnǝzǝng ne.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“A saseya malo tomore te ozitǝ oo jǝng me, ‘ongme to kang ya masanto ne, oreka kangza wato nya masanto ne. Aa ewerewere yo tǝǝrǝ aa surǝ azaa shili, ayo zukǝ pate obare ooka waya azaa shili.’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.’

30Awere namea ayo laka o surǝ o Kena ka Oromo aaka surǝ aza shili, pate aleng aa lerambo leena neyo ruuzi, neyo laka Kena ka Oromo aa kaya deya aza mawere, ka obare kaa togomo tee gong.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.

31Wayo tongha atoma kai o dera lepung kane ulbi tojebe ajǝng, aa ne kurki andaaka aa zaka o era aa ara o susǝ ongme, kaa ara o tǝǝru ongme, aa kulu arungji kaa kulu ayarbawa o lerambo leena.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.

32Jeka na eyapa a uti uli. Aa e bana ee obara o sara, kane sǝǝrǝ marane maa sau, ee rosa obena lekoze le amara naname.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Nyimia awereaka ee laka pate epanana, eyo rosa obena awere a amara, aa bengmǝ be abuudu.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Ang dongdong ya baala oying, awereena ta kala ne seeka epanana apate eye.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Shili kaa deze yo maro, aa angmǝ ang to tukǝ omaro ne dakemeeme.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Ondo ta rosa lengme leme na awereme ne, koona atoma odera lepung ka neya azaa shili, koona Kena kame, seena Ate me belle.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Waye na nangka a eze awere a Nuhu, nyimia o kurǝ Kena ka Oromo yo za.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Wa kang ya na tomore tennamea zongka manyi maa gong bore, aya lyelyeeza, aa sosoza, aya nyaza aa angza andaaye, aa dukǝ lengme leeka Nuhu wa lyǝ o onggo o taara manyi.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.

39Zongka ne rose epa eka eya ale ne, seena manyi maa gong mame lye ne apat. Nyimia o kurǝ o Kena ka Oromo yo za.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.

40Awerenamea, ayo mana aromo leere ara a ogole, ayo jeka oyende, aa baya oyende.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Ayo laka andaaye leere aa neya nyanta o nyanto, ayo jeka oyende, aa baya oyende.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Azaa nyimi, cikǝ na a le'enda, ka eta rosa lengme leeka Ateokora oying ya kurǝ ne.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Rosana bena, eeya ateakwilǝ yo rosa awere aka okǝri ya deya akwilǝ wai aa lelyaare, waa yo mora aa le'enda tana a lyǝ akwilǝ awai ka eze bekǝri ne.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.

44Ying kangza cikǝ na ka ogoro, Kena ka Oromo ya deya awereaka ata madoola ma nyimi ne.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Ozara o yemea o eza epa edang aa waye ka orosa, ka ateakwilǝ awai yo nya wai le onta le akwilǝ awai, ka wa nyaza odangare azara me epaolya a were aka wa gwara?”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?

46O kona oleba ya aza ozara oka ateakwilǝ awai yo kurǝ awa mana wai awa ya eza nyimi.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Eyang dongdong baala oying, wa yo ote wai aza ekeeya e wai.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Aa ozara name ondo araaburu wa za, wa yo bekaa ukpwei wai na, ‘Ateakwilǝ ta amara ka o deya ne.’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49Aa wa bore olaza odangare azara me, awa lye, awa soze kaa ana ososoza.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Ateakwilǝ ozara me yo deya a lengme leeka ata madoola ma o deya wai ne, awere aka wata rosa ne.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Ka wa daara wai lepung ka lesaro, aa wa nya wai epa eka e gwara ka ana araaburu. Aa arame ayo ruuzi ka o nongza tuuni.”Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
