Matayo 24
1 Wana Yesu azalaki kobima longwa na lopango ya Tempelo, bayekoli na Ye bapusanaki pene na Ye mpo na kotalisa Ye ndenge batonga Tempelo.
And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.
2 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bomoni nyonso oyo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nyonso ekobukama, libanga moko te ekotikala awa na likolo ya libanga mosusu.
But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.
3 Lokola Yesu avandaki na ngomba ya banzete ya olive, bayekoli bapusanaki pene na Ye mpe batunaki Ye, na esika oyo bazalaki bango moko kaka: — Yebisa biso: makambo wana ekosalema tango nini? Mpe elembo nini ekotalisa koya na Yo mpe suka ya mokili? (aiōn g165)
And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Bosala keba ete moto moko te akosa bino!
And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.
5 Pamba te bato mingi bakoya na Kombo na Ngai mpe bakoloba: « Ngai nde Masiya, » mpe bakokosa bato ebele.
For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.
6 Bokoyoka basango ya bitumba mpe nungunungu na tina na bitumba, kasi bomitungisa te mpo na yango; pamba te makambo wana esengeli kosalema, kasi ekozala nanu suka ya mokili te.
And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.
7 Ekolo moko ekotelemela ekolo mosusu, bokonzi moko ekobundisa bokonzi mosusu, nzala ekozala makasi penza, mpe mabele ekoningana bipai na bipai.
For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;
8 Makambo nyonso wana ekozala kaka ebandeli ya pasi lokola pasi ya mwasi oyo azali kobota.
But all these things are the first of the troubles.
9 Bongo, bakokaba bino mpo ete bomona pasi, bakoboma bino; bikolo nyonso ekoyina bino mpo na Kombo na Ngai.
Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.
10 Mpo na yango, bato ebele bakokweyisa kondima na bango, bakokaba mpe bakoyina baninga na bango.
And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.
11 Basakoli ebele ya lokuta bakobima mpe bakokosa bato ebele.
And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.
12 Lokola mabe ekokola se kokola, bolingo ya bato ebele ekokita.
And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.
13 Kasi moto oyo akoyika mpiko kino na suka akobika.
But he who goes through to the end will get salvation.
14 Sango Malamu oyo ya Bokonzi ekoteyama na mokili mobimba mpo ete ezala litatoli epai ya bikolo nyonso; sima na yango kaka nde suka ekoya.
And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
15 Yango wana, tango bokomona makambo ya nkele oyo epesaka bato pasi na motema, oyo mosakoli Daniele alobelaki, kosalema kati na Esika ya bule, —tika ete motangi asosola malamu—
When, then, you see in the holy place the unclean thing which makes destruction, of which word was given by Daniel the prophet (let this be clear to the reader),
16 wana tika ete bato oyo bakozala kati na Yuda bakima na bangomba;
Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains:
17 tika ete moto oyo akozala na likolo ya ndako akita te, mpo na kokende kozwa eloko songolo kati na ndako na ye,
Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:
18 mpe tika ete moto oyo akozala kati na bilanga azonga na ndako te, mpo na kokende kozwa elamba na ye!
And let not him who is in the field go back to get his coat.
19 Na mikolo wana, mawa na basi oyo bakozala na bazemi mpe na ba-oyo bakozala komelisa bana mabele!
But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.
20 Bosambela mpo ete makambo wana esalema te na eleko ya malili makasi to na mokolo ya Saba.
And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
21 Pamba te pasi ekozala makasi, na lolenge oyo etikala nanu kozala te, wuta na ebandeli ya mokili kino sik’oyo, mpe na lolenge oyo ekotikala kozala lisusu te.
Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.
22 Mpe soki Nkolo ayeisaki te mikolo yango moke, moto ata moko te akokaki kobika; kasi mpo na baponami na Ye, akoyeisa yango moke.
And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.
23 Na tango wana, soki moto moko alobi na bino: « Klisto azali awa! » to « Azali kuna, » bondima ye te.
Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;
24 Pamba te bamasiya ya lokuta mpe basakoli ya lokuta bakobima, bakosala bilembo minene mpe bikamwa mpo na kokosa ata baponami, soki ekokaki kosalema.
For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.
25 Namiyebiseli bino mpo ete bosala keba!
See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.
26 Soki moto moko alobi na bino: « Botala, azali kati na esobe, » bokende kuna te; to « Azali awa, kati na esika ebombama, » bondima yango te.
If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.
27 Solo, ndenge mokalikali oyo ebimi na este engengisaka kino na weste, ndenge wana mpe koya ya Mwana na Moto ekozala.
Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Esika nyonso ebembe ezali kopola, bandeke oyo eliaka bibembe esanganaka wana.
Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles come together.
29 Tango kaka mikolo yango ya pasi ekoleka, « moyi ekokoma molili, sanza ekongenga lisusu te, minzoto ekokweya longwa na likolo, mpe banguya ya Likolo ekoningisama. »
But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:
30 Sima na yango, elembo ya Mwana na Moto ekomonana na likolo; bongo bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekokoma kolelalela mpe ekomona Mwana na Moto koya na likolo ya mapata ya likolo, kati na nguya mpe na nkembo monene.
And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Mpe na lokito monene ya kelelo, akotinda ba-anjelu na Ye kosangisa baponami na Ye longwa na bangambo nyonso minei ya mokili: longwa na suka moko ya Likolo kino na suka mosusu.
And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Tika ete lisese ya nzete ya figi eteya bino: soki kaka bitape na yango elembi mpe ebandi kobimisa makasa, boyebaka ete eleko ya moyi makasi ekomi pene.
Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;
33 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bino; tango bokomona makambo wana nyonso, boyeba ete Mwana na Moto akomi pene, lokola na bikuke ya engumba.
Even so, when you see all these things, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
34 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bato ya ekeke oyo bakoleka te kino makambo wana nyonso ekosalema.
Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
35 Likolo mpe mabele ekoleka, kasi maloba na Ngai ekoleka te.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
36 Mpo na oyo etali mokolo to ngonga, moko te ayebi yango, ezala ba-anjelu ya Likolo to Mwana; Ye moko kaka Tata nde ayebi yango.
But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.
37 Ndenge esalemaki na tango ya Noa, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema na koya ya Mwana na Moto;
And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
38 pamba te liboso ete mpela eya, bato bazalaki kolia mpe komela, kobala mpe kobalisa bana na bango, kino na mokolo oyo Noa akotaki na masuwa;
Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,
39 bayebaki eloko moko te na tina na oyo elingaki kosalema, kino mpela eyaki mpe ekumbaki bango nyonso. Ekozala mpe bongo na koya ya Mwana na Moto.
And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Mibali mibale bakozala na elanga: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala;
Then two men will be in the field; one is taken, and one let go;
41 basi mibale bakozala konika bambuma na enikelo; moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala.
Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.
42 Yango wana, bosenzela; pamba te boyebi te mokolo nini Nkolo na bino akoya.
Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.
43 Bososola malamu likambo oyo: soki nkolo ndako ayebaki ngonga ya butu oyo moyibi akoya, alingaki kosenzela mpe kopekisa ye kokota kati na ndako na ye.
But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 Yango wana, bino mpe, bomibongisa, pamba te Mwana na Moto akoya na ngonga oyo bozali kokanisa kutu te.
Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.
45 Nani azali mowumbu ya sembo mpe ya mayele epai ya nani nkolo apesaki mokumba ya kokamba basali kati na ndako na ye, mpo ete apesaka bango bilei na bango na tango oyo ekoki?
Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?
46 Esengo na mowumbu oyo nkolo na ye, tango akozonga, akokuta azali kosala bongo.
A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.
47 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nkolo na ye akopesa ye mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye nyonso.
Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.
48 Kasi soki azali mowumbu mabe oyo amilobeli: « Nkolo na ngai awumeli mpo na kozonga, »
But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;
49 mpe akomi kobeta baninga na ye ya mosala, bawumbu lokola ye, kolia mpe komela masanga mesa moko elongo na balangwi masanga,
And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;
50 nkolo na ye akozonga na mokolo oyo ye, mowumbu, azali kozela te mpe na ngonga oyo ayebi te;
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,
51 akokata-kata ye na biteni mpe akotia ye esika moko na bato ya bilongi mibale, na esika oyo ekozala kolela mpe koswa minu.
And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
The World is Destroyed by Water
