Luka 21
1 Yesu atayangʼana, anaona olemera akuyika mphatso zawo mu chosungira ndalama za mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,
2 Iye anaonanso mkazi wamasiye wosauka akuyikamo timakopala tiwiri.
and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
3 Iye anati, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mkazi wamasiye wosaukayu wapereka zambiri kuposa ena onsewa.
and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;
4 Anthu onsewa atapa mphatso zawo kuchokera pa zochuluka zimene ali nazo; koma uyu, mwa umphawi wake, wapereka zonse zimene ali nazo.”
for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'
5 Ena mwa ophunzira ake ankachita ndemanga za mmene Nyumba ya Mulungu anayikongoletsera ndi miyala yokongola ndiponso zinthu zina zomwe anthu anapereka kwa Mulungu. Koma Yesu anati,
And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,
6 “Koma zimene mukuziona panozi, nthawi idzafika pamene ngakhale mwala umodzi omwe sudzakhala pa unzake; uliwonse udzagwetsedwa pansi.”
'These things that ye behold — days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
7 Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Aphunzitsi, kodi zonsezi zidzachitika liti? Ndipo tidzaonera chiyani kuti zili pafupi kuchitika?”
And they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?'
8 Iye anayankha kuti, “Chenjerani kuti musanyengedwe. Pakuti ambiri adzabwera mʼdzina langa nadzati ‘Ine ndine Iye’ ndi kuti ‘Nthawi yayandikira.’ Musadzawatsate iwo.
And he said, 'See — ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;
9 Mukadzamva zankhondo ndi zipolowe, musadzachite mantha. Zinthu izi ziyenera kuchitika poyamba, koma chimaliziro sichidzafika nthawi yomweyo.”
and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.'
10 Kenaka anawawuza kuti, “Mtundu wa anthu udzawukirana ndi mtundu wina, ndi ufumu kuwukira ufumu wina.
Then said he to them, 'Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11 Kudzakhala zivomerezi zazikulu, njala ndi miliri mʼmalo osiyanasiyana, ndi zinthu zoopsa ndi zizindikiro zamphamvu kuchokera kumwamba.
great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;
12 “Koma zonsezi zisanachitike, adzakugwirani ndi kukuzunzani. Adzakuperekani ku masunagoge ndi ku ndende, ndipo adzakutengerani pamaso pa mafumu ndi olamulira, ndipo zonsezi zidzachitika chifukwa cha dzina langa.
and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;
13 Umenewu udzakhala mwayi wanu ochitira umboni.
and it shall become to you for a testimony.
14 Koma tsimikizani mtima kuti musadzade nkhawa za momwe mudzadzitchinjirizire.
'Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
15 Pakuti Ine ndidzakupatsani mawu ndi nzeru kotero kuti palibe mmodzi wa adani anu adzathe kuwakana kapena kuwatsutsa.
for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.
16 Inu mudzaperekedwa ndi makolo anu, abale, anansi ndi abwenzi anu ndipo ena mwa inu adzakuphani.
'And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death;
17 Anthu onse adzakudani chifukwa cha Ine.
and ye shall be hated by all because of my name —
18 Koma palibe tsitsi limodzi la mʼmutu mwanu lidzawonongeke.
and a hair out of your head shall not perish;
19 Mukadzalimbikira ndiye mudzapeze moyo.
in your patience possess ye your souls.
20 “Mukadzaona Yerusalemu atazingidwa ndi magulu ankhondo, inu mudzadziwe kuti kuwonongeka kwake kuli pafupi.
'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;
21 Pamenepo amene ali ku Yudeya adzathawire ku mapiri, amene ali mu mzinda adzatulukemo, ndi amene ali ku midzi asadzalowe mu mzinda.
then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the countries, let them not come in to her;
22 Pakuti iyi ndi nthawi yachilango pokwaniritsa zonse zimene zinalembedwa.
because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things that have been written.
23 Zidzakhala zoopsa nthawi imenewo kwa amayi oyembekezera ndi amayi oyamwitsa! Kudzakhala masautso aakulu mʼdziko ndipo anthu onse adzawakwiyira.
'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people;
24 Iwo adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndi kutengedwa ukapolo kupita ku mayiko wonse. Yerusalemu adzaponderezedwa ndi anthu a mitundu ina mpaka nthawi ya a mitundu ina itakwaniritsidwa.
and they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and shall be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be fulfilled.
25 “Padzakhala zizindikiro zodabwitsa pa dzuwa, mwezi ndi nyenyezi. Pa dziko lapansi, mitundu ya anthu idzakhala mʼmasautso ndipo idzathedwa nzeru pakumva mkokomo ndi mafunde a mʼnyanja.
'And there shall be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow roaring;
26 Anthu adzakomoka chifukwa cha mantha, akadzamva za zimene zikubwera pa dziko lapansi, pakuti zinthu zamlengalenga zidzagwedezeka.
men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 Nthawi imeneyo adzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera ndi mitambo, mphamvu ndi ulemerero waukulu.
'And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;
28 Zinthu izi zikadzayamba kuchitika, mudzayimirire ndi kutukula mitu yanu, chifukwa chipulumutso chanu chayandikira.”
and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw nigh.'
29 Iye anawawuza fanizo ili, “Taonani mtengo wamkuyu ndi mitengo ina yonse.
And he spake a simile to them: 'See the fig-tree, and all the trees,
30 Ikamatulutsa masamba, mumakhoza kudzionera nokha ndi kudziwa kuti dzinja lili pafupi.
when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves ye know that now is the summer nigh;
31 Chimodzimodzinso, mukadzaona zinthu zonsezi, dziwani kuti ufumu wa Mulungu uli pafupi.
so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;
32 “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mʼbado uno sudzatha mpaka zinthu zonsezi zitachitika.
verily I say to you — This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;
33 Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”
the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away.
34 “Samalani, kuti mitima yanu ingalemetsedwe ndi maphwando, kuledzera ndi kudera nkhawa za moyo uno, ndi kuti tsiku ilo lingadzakupezeni modzidzimutsa ngati msampha.
'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,
35 Pakuti lidzafika pa onse okhala pa dziko lonse lapansi.
for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,
36 Khalani tcheru nthawi zonse ndi kupemphera kuti inu mudzathe kuthawa zonse zimene zili pafupi kuchitika, ndi kuti mudzathe kuyima pamaso pa Mwana wa Munthu.”
watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'
37 Tsiku lililonse Yesu amaphunzitsa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndi madzulo ali wonse Iye amachoka kukakhala pa phiri la Olivi usiku wonse.
And he was during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called of Olives;
38 Ndipo anthu onse amabwera mmamawa kudzamumva Iye ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.
