Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
A ka puta atu a Ihu ki waho o te temepara, ka haere; na ka tae mai ana akonga ki a ia kia whakakitea ki a ia nga whare i hanga mo te temepara.
2 But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”
Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ianei koutou e kite i enei mea katoa? He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e toe ki konei tetahi kohatu ki runga ake i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa katoatia.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
A, i a ia e noho ana i runga i maunga Oriwa, ka haere puku mai nga akonga ki a ia, ka mea, Korerotia ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea? he aha te tohu o tou haerenga mai, o te mutunga hoki o te ao? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko te Karaiti ahau, a he tokomaha e whakapohehetia.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
A tera koutou e rongo ki nga pakanga, ki nga hau korero pakanga: kia tupato kei ohorere koutou: ta te mea kua rite kia puta enei mea katoa, taihoa ia te mutunga.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
E whakatika hoki tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga: a e puta nga po matekai, nga mate uruta, me nga ru, ki nga tini wahi.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Otira ko te timatanga kau enei katoa o nga mamae.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
Ko reira koutou tukua ai kia tukinotia, a e whakamatea koutou; a e kino hoki nga iwi katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
A he tokomaha e he, a ka tuku tetahi i tetahi, ka kino ano tetahi ki tetahi.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
He tokomaha ano nga poropiti teka e whakatika, a he tokomaha e whakapohehetia e ratou.
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
A, i te kino ka hua, ka matoke haere te aroha o te tini tangata.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Ko te tangata ia e u ana, a taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
A e kauwhautia tenei rongopai o te rangatiratanga puta noa i te ao, hei mea whakaatu ki nga iwi katoa; a ko reira puta ai te mutunga.
15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
A e kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro, i korerotia ai e Raniera poropiti, i a ia e tu ana i te wahi tapu, kia matau te kaititiro pukapuka,
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Ko reira kia rere te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga:
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
Ko te tangata i runga i te whare, kei heke iho ki te tiki mea i roto i tona whare:
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
Kauaka ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki te tiki i ona kakahu.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Aue, te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
Me inoi koutou kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke, i te hapati ranei:
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Kei taua wa hoki te whiu nui, kahore ona rite mai o te timatanga o te ao a mohoa noa nei, e kore ano e pera a mua ake nei.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
A, me i kahore aua ra i poroa i waenga, hore he kikokiko e ora: otira ka whakaaroa te hunga i whiriwhiria, a ka poroa aua ra.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
Ki te mea tetahi ki a koutou i reira, Na, tenei a te Karaiti; na, tera; aua e whakaponohia.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
E whakatika hoki nga Karaiti teka, me nga poropiti teka, a ka hoatu e ratou nga tohu nunui, me nga mea whakamiharo; a mehemea e taea, ka mamingatia ano te hunga i whiriwhiria.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Na kua korerotia wawetia nei e ahau ki a koutou.
26 “If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
Na, ahakoa mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, kei te koraha ia; aua e haere atu: Na, kei nga ruma o roto rawa; aua e whakaponohia.
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Ka rite hoki ki te uira e puta mai nei i te rawhiti, a hiko tonu atu ki te uru, te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
Ko te wahi hoki i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga kahu.
29 “But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
A, muri tonu iho i te whakapawera i aua ra, ka whakapouritia te ra, e kore ano e titi te atarau, ka taka iho nga whetu i te rangi, a ka ngaueue nga mea kaha o nga rangi:
30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Ko reira ano puta ai te tohu o te Tama a te tangata i te rangi: a ko reira nga iwi katoa o te whenua tangi ai, a e kite ratou i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i nga kapua o te rangi me te kaha, me te kororia nui.
31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
A, e tonoa e ia ana anahera me te tetere tangi nui, a ka huihuia e ratou ana i whiriwhiri ai i nga hau e wha, i tetahi pito o te rangi puta noa i tetahi pito.
32 “Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
Na kia akona koutou e te piki ki tetahi kupu whakarite: i tona manga e ngawari ana ano, a ka puta ona rau, ka mohio koutou ka tata te raumati:
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea katoa, ka matau koutou ka tata ia, kei nga kuwaha tonu.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa tenei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta katoa ra ano enei mea.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Otira kahore tetahi tangata e mohio ki taua ra, ki taua haora, kahore rawa nga anahera o te rangi, kahore te Tama a te tangata, ko toku Matua anake.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
Ka rite hoki ki ta ratou i nga ra i mua atu o te waipuke; e kai ana, e inu ana, e marena ana, e hoatu ana kia marenatia, a tae noa ki te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki roto ki te aaka,
39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
A kahore ratou i mohio, a pakaru noa te waipuke, a kahakina ana ratou katoa: e pera ano te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
I taua wa tokorua ki te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho:
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
Tokorua wahine e huri ana i te mira; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
Kia mataara rapea; e kore hoki koutou e mohio ki te haora e puta mai ai to koutou Ariki.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Kia mohio ki tenei, me i matau te tangata o te whare ki te mataaratanga e puta ai te tahae, kua tautiaki ia, a kahore i tukua tona whare kia pokaia.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
Na kia mataara hoki koutou: no te mea ka puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te haora e kore ai koutou e mahara.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
Ko wai ra te pononga pono, mahara, i meinga e tona ariki hei rangatira mo ana tangata, hei hoatu i te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
Ka koa taua pononga ki te rokohanga e tona ariki, ina haere mai, e pera ana.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ka meinga ia hei rangatira mo ona taonga katoa.
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
Otira ki te mea taua pononga kino i roto i tona ngakau, Ka roa te putanga mai o toku ariki;
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
A ka anga ka patu i ona hoa pononga, ka kai, ka inu tahi me te hunga haurangi;
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
E tae mai te ariki o taua pononga i te ra e kore ai ia e mahara, i te haora e kore ai ia e mohio,
51 and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
Ka hatepea putia ia, ka meinga he wahi mona i roto i te hunga tinihanga: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
