Matthew 24 (YOR)

1Bí Jesu ti ń kúrò ni tẹmpili, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọ́n fẹ́ fi ẹwà tẹmpili náà hàn án.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò ha rí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín gbogbo ilé yìí ni a yóò wó lulẹ̀, kò ní sí òkúta kan tí a ó fi sílẹ̀ lórí òmíràn, tí a kì yóò wó lulẹ̀.”“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.”

3Bí ó ti jókòó ní orí òkè Olifi, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Sọ fún wa nígbà wo ni èyí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀? Kí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì ìpadà wá rẹ, àti ti òpin ayé?”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?”

4Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni tàn yín jẹ.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ yóò wá ní orúkọ mi tí wọn yóò máa pe ara wọn ní Kristi náà. Wọn yóò ṣi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ lọ́nà.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Ẹ ó máa gbọ́ ìró ogun àti ìdágìrì ogun, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe jáyà nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò lè ṣe kí ó ma ṣẹlẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òpin kì í ṣe àkókò náà.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.

7Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò dìde sí orílẹ̀-èdè, àti ìjọba sí ìjọba. Ìyàn àti ilẹ̀ mímì yóò wà ní ibi púpọ̀.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì jẹ́ ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ìpọ́njú tí ó ń bọ̀.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Nígbà náà ni a ó sì dá a yín lóró. A ó pa yín, a ó sì kórìíra yín ni gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin jẹ́ tèmi.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Àti pé, ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín yóò kọsẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ṣòfófó ara yín, ẹ̀yin yóò kórìíra ara yín pẹ̀lú,At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn èké wòlíì yóò farahàn, wọn yóò tan ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn jẹ.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yóò wà níbi gbogbo, yóò sì sọ ìfẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ di tútù,Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá forítì í dópin ni a ó gbàlà.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14A ó sì wàásù ìyìnrere nípa ìjọba náà yìí ní gbogbo ayé ká, láti ṣe ẹ̀rí fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, nígbà náà ni òpin yóò dé.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“Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí ìríra ‘ìsọdahoro, tí a ti ẹnu wòlíì Daniẹli sọ,’ tí ó bá dúró ní ibi mímọ́ (ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kà á kí ó yé e),So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16nígbà náà ni kí àwọn tí ń bẹ ni Judea sálọ sí orí òkè.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Kí ẹni tí ó wà lórí ilé rẹ̀ má ṣe sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá mú ohunkóhun jáde nínú ilé rẹ̀.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Kí àwọn tí ó sì wà lóko má ṣe darí wá sí ilé láti mú àwọn aṣọ wọn.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Ṣùgbọ́n àánú ṣe mí fún àwọn obìnrin ti ó lóyún, àti fún àwọn tí ó ń fún ọmọ loyan ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà kí sísá yín má ṣe jẹ́ ìgbà òtútù, tàbí ọjọ́ ìsinmi.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Nítorí ìpọ́njú ńlá yóò wà, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ọjọ́ ayé wá títí di ìsinsin yìí irú rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ṣí.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22“Lóòótọ́, àfi bí a ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú, gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè yóò ṣègbé. Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ti àwọn àyànfẹ́ ni a ó fi ké ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrú.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.

23Nígbà náà, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Wo Kristi náà,’ tàbí pé ó ti farahàn níhìn-ín tàbí lọ́hùn ún, ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Nítorí àwọn èké Kristi àti àwọn èké wòlíì yóò dìde. Wọn yóò sì ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu. Bí ó bá lè ṣe é ṣe wọn yóò tan àwọn àyànfẹ́ Ọlọ́run pàápàá jẹ.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Wò ó, mo ti kìlọ̀ fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀.See, I have told you in advance.

26“Nítorí náà, bí ẹnìkan bá sọ fún yín pé, ‘Olùgbàlà ti dé,’ àti pé, ‘Ó wà ní aginjù,’ ẹ má ṣe wàhálà láti lọ wò ó, tàbí tí wọ́n bá ní, ó ń fi ara pamọ́ sí iyàrá,” ẹ má ṣe gbà wọn gbọ́.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.

27Nítorí bí mọ̀nàmọ́ná ti ń tàn láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ìwọ̀-oòrùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jẹ́.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.

28Nítorí ibikíbi tí òkú bá gbé wà, ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹyẹ igún ń kójọpọ̀ sí.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“Lójúkan náà, lẹ́yìn ìpọ́njú ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, “ ‘ni oòrùn yóò ṣókùnkùn, òṣùpá kì yóò sì fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ hàn; àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run yóò já sílẹ̀, agbára ojú ọ̀run ni a ó mì tìtì.’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“Nígbà náà ni àmì Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì fi ara hàn ní ọ̀run, nígbà náà ni gbogbo ẹ̀yà ayé yóò káàánú, wọn yóò sì rí Ọmọ Ènìyàn tí yóò máa ti ojú ọ̀run bọ̀ ti òun ti ògo àti agbára ńlá.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.

31Yóò sì rán àwọn angẹli rẹ̀ jáde pẹ̀lú ohùn ìpè ńlá, wọn yóò sì kó gbogbo àwọn àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀ láti orígun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin ayé àti ọ̀run jọ.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“Nísinsin yìí, ẹ kọ́ òwe lára igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́. Nígbà tí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ bá ti ń yọ tuntun tí ó bá sì ń ru ewé, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn súnmọ́ tòsí.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì rí i tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá ń ṣẹlẹ̀, kí ẹ mọ̀ pé ìpadàbọ̀ mi dé tán lẹ́yìn ìlẹ̀kùn.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ìran yìí kì yóò kọjá títí tí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Ọ̀run àti ayé yóò rékọjá, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ mi kì yóò rékọjá.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan ti ó mọ ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí òpin náà yóò dé, àwọn angẹli ọ̀run pàápàá kò mọ̀ ọ́n. Àní, ọmọ kò mọ̀ ọ́n, bí kò ṣe Baba mi nìkan ṣoṣo ló mọ̀ ọ́n.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Bí ó ṣe rí ní ìgbà ayé Noa, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì rí.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Nítorí bí àwọn ọjọ́ náà ti wà ṣáájú ìkún omi, tí wọ́n ń jẹ́ tí wọ́n ń mu, tí wọ́n ń gbéyàwó, tí wọ́n sì ń fa ìyàwó fún ni, títí tí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí Noa fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀.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.

39Ènìyàn kò gbàgbọ́ nípa ohun tí o ṣẹlẹ̀ títí tí ìkún omi fi dé nítòótọ́, tí ó sì kó wọn lọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni wíwá Ọmọ Ènìyàn.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.

40Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì yóò máa ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oko, a o mú ẹnìkan, a ó sì fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Àwọn obìnrin méjì yóò jùmọ̀ máa lọ ọlọ pọ̀, a yóò mú ọ̀kan, a ó fi ẹni kejì sílẹ̀.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42“Nítorí náà, ẹ múra sílẹ̀, nítorí ẹ kò mọ ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yín yóò dé.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Ṣùgbọ́n, kí ẹ mọ èyí pé, baálé ilé ìbá mọ wákàtí náà tí olè yóò wá, ìbá máa ṣọ́nà, òun kì bá ti jẹ́ kí a já wọ ilé rẹ̀.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.

44Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọdọ̀ wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀, nítorí ní wákàtí àìròtẹ́lẹ̀ ni dídé Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò jẹ́.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Ǹjẹ́ olóòtítọ́ àti ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ wo ni olúwa rẹ̀ lè fi ṣe olùbojútó ilé rẹ̀ láti bọ́ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lójoojúmọ́?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?

46Alábùkún fún ni ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ti olúwa rẹ̀ dé tí ó sì bá a lórí iṣẹ́ ṣíṣe.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, èmi yóò sì fi irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ ṣe alákòóso gbogbo ohun tí mo ní.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Ṣùgbọ́n bí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà bá jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú náà bá wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, ‘Olúwa mi kì yóò tètè dé.’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49Tí ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ si í fi ìyà jẹ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó ń jẹ, tí ó sì ń mu àmupara.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Nígbà náà ni olúwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ yóò wá ní ọjọ́ àti wákàtí tí kò retí.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
