Mateyu 24
1 Yesu anatuluka mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndipo akuchoka ophunzira ake anadza kwa Iye ndi kumuonetsa mamangidwe a Nyumbayo.
And when Jesus departed he was going from the temple. And his disciples came near to exhibit to him the buildings of the temple.
2 Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukuona zinthu zonsezi? Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti palibe mwala pano umene udzasiyidwe pa unzake; uliwonse udzagwetsedwa pansi.”
But Jesus said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there will be left here, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will not be thrown down.
3 Pamene Yesu anakhala pansi pa phiri la Olivi, ophunzira ake anabwera kwa Iye mwamseri nati, “Tiwuzeni, kodi izi zidzachitika liti, ndipo chizindikiro cha kubwera kwanu ndi zizindikiro za kutha kwa dziko zidzakhala chiyani?” (aiōn g165)
And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign of thy coming, and of the termination of the age? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Onetsetsani kuti wina asakunyengeni.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, See that not any man may lead you astray.
5 Pakuti ambiri adzabwera mʼdzina langa nadzati, ‘Ndine Khristu,’ ndipo adzanyenga ambiri.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will lead many astray.
6 Mudzamva za nkhondo ndi mbiri za nkhondo, koma onetsetsani kuti musadzidzimuke nazo. Zotere ziyenera kuchitika, koma chimaliziro sichinafike.
And ye are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye not be alarmed, for all the things must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 Mtundu ndi mtundu udzawukirana, ndipo ufumu ndi ufumu udzawukirana. Kudzakhala njala ndi zivomerezi mʼmalo osiyanasiyana.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in places.
8 Zonsezi ndi chiyambi chabe cha zowawa.
But all these things are the beginning of travail.
9 “Pamenepo adzakuperekani kuti mukazunzidwe ndi kuphedwa, ndipo mitundu yonse idzakudani chifukwa cha Ine.
Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
10 Pa nthawi imeneyo ambiri adzasiya chikhulupiriro ndipo adzadana ndi kuperekana wina ndi mnzake,
And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will betray each other and will hate each other.
11 ndipo aneneri onama ambiri adzaoneka ndi kunyenga anthu ambiri.
And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
12 Chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa zoyipa, chikondi cha ambiri chidzazirala,
And because of the increased lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold.
13 koma wopirira kufikira chimaliziro adzapulumuka.
But he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.
14 Ndipo uthenga wa ufumu udzalalikidwa ku dziko lonse lapansi ngati umboni kwa mitundu yonse, ndipo pomwepo chimaliziro chidzafika.”
And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15 “Tsono mukadzaona chinthu chonyansa chosakaza chitayima pamalo oyera chimene anayankhula mneneri Danieli, owerengayo azindikire.
When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him who reads understand),
16 Pamenepo amene ali ku Yudeya athawire ku mapiri.
then let those in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Yemwe ali pa denga la nyumba yake asatsike kukatulutsa chinthu chilichonse mʼnyumba.
Let the man on the housetop not go down to take things from his house.
18 Yemwe ali ku munda asapite kukatenga mkanjo wake.
And let the man in the field not return back to take his clothes.
19 Kudzakhala koopsa kwambiri masiku amenewo kwa amayi oyembekezera ndi kwa oyamwitsa!
And woe to those who have in the womb and to those who suckle in those days.
20 Pempherani kuti kuthawa kwanu kusadzachitike nthawi yozizira kapena pa Sabata.
And pray ye that your flight may not happen in winter, nor on a sabbath,
21 Popeza kudzakhala masautso aakulu, omwe safanana ndi ena ali onse chiyambireni cha dziko lapansi mpaka lero lino ndipo sadzafanananso ndi ena.
for then there will be great tribulation, such as not has happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor, no, it will not happen.
22 Ngati masiku amenewo sakanafupikitsidwa, palibe mmodzi akanapulumuka, koma chifukwa cha osankhidwawo masiku amenewo adzafupikitsidwa.
And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved. But because of the chosen those days will be shortened.
23 Pa nthawi imeneyo ngati wina adzati kwa inu, ‘Onani, Khristu ali pano!’ Kapena, ‘Uyo ali ukoyo!’ Musakhulupirire.
Then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe ye not.
24 Chifukwa akhristu onama ndi aneneri onama adzaoneka ndipo adzachita zizindikiro zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa kuti akanyenge ngakhale osankhidwawo ngati kukanakhala kotheka kutero.
For there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
25 Onani, ndakuwuzani izi nthawi isanafike.
Behold, I have foretold it to you.
26 “Ndiye ngati wina akuwuzani inu kuti, ‘Uyo ali ku chipululu,’ inu musapiteko; kapena akati, ‘Uyu ali kuno mʼchipinda chamʼkati,’ musakhulupirire.
If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the wilderness, do not go forth. Behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe.
27 Monga momwe mphenzi ingʼanima kuchokera kummawa kupita kumadzulo, momwemonso kudzakhala kubwera kwa Mwana wa Munthu.
For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Kulikonse kuli chinthu cha kufa, makwangwala adzasonkhanako.
For wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures will be gathered together.
29 “Akadzangotha mavuto a masiku amenewo, “‘dzuwa lidzadetsedwa, ndipo mwezi sudzawala; nyenyezi zidzagwa kuchokera kumwamba, ndipo mphamvu za mmwamba zidzagwedezeka.’
But straightaway after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. And the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 “Pa nthawi imeneyo chizindikiro cha Mwana wa Munthu chidzaoneka mlengalenga, ndipo mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi idzalira. Idzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera ndi mitambo, mphamvu ndi ulemerero waukulu.
And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will beat the breast, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and much glory.
31 Ndipo adzatuma angelo ake, ndi kulira kwa lipenga kwakukulu, nadzasonkhanitsa osankhidwa ake kuchokera ku mphepo zinayi, ndi kuchokera kumathero a thambo kufika mbali ina.
And he will send forth his agents with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the boundaries of the heavens-as far as their boundaries.
32 “Tsopano kuchokera ku mtengo wamkuyu phunzirani ichi: Pamene uyamba kuphukira, masamba ake akatuluka, mumadziwa kuti dzinja layandikira.
Now learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
33 Momwemonso, pamene mudzaona zinthu zonsezi mudzadziwe kuti ali pafupi pa khomo penipeni.
So ye also, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
34 Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti mʼbado uwu sudzatha mpaka zinthu zonse zitachitika.
Truly I say to you, this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.
35 Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”
The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.
36 “Palibe amene adziwa za tsikulo kapena nthawi, angakhale angelo akumwamba, angakhale Mwana, koma Atate okha.
But about that day and hour no man knows, not even the agents of the heavens, except my Father only.
37 Monga momwe zinalili nthawi ya Nowa, momwemonso zidzatero pobwera kwa Mwana wa Munthu.
And as the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
38 Pakuti masiku amenewo chisanafike chigumula, anthu amadya ndi kumwa, kukwatira ndi kukwatiwa, mpaka tsiku limene Nowa analowa mʼchombo;
For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until that day Noah entered into the ark.
39 ndipo sanadziwe za chimene chikanachitika mpaka pamene chigumula chinafika ndi kuwamiza onse. Umu ndi mmene zidzakhalira pobwera kwa Mwana wa Munthu.
And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Amuna awiri adzakhala mʼmunda; wina adzatengedwa ndi wina adzatsala.
Then two men will be in the field, one is taken, and one is left.
41 Amayi awiri adzakhala akusinja pa mtondo; wina adzatengedwa ndi wina adzatsala.
Two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, and one is left.
42 “Chifukwa chake yangʼanirani, popeza simudziwa tsiku lanji limene Ambuye anu adzabwera.
Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes.
43 Koma zindikirani ichi: Ngati mwini nyumba akanadziwa nthawi yanji ya usiku imene mbala imabwera, sakanagona ndipo sakanalola kuti nyumba yake ithyoledwe.
But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Inunso tsono muyenera kukhala okonzeka, chifukwa Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera pa nthawi imene inu simukumuyembekezera.
Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes.
45 “Kodi wantchito wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru amene ambuye ake anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira antchito a mʼnyumba kuti awapatse chakudya chawo pa nthawi yake ndani?
Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time?
46 Chidzakhala chabwino kwa wantchitoyo ngati mbuye wake pofika adzamupeza akuchita zimenezi.
Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
47 Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti adzamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira katundu wake yense.
Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him.
48 Koma tiyerekeze kuti wantchitoyo ndi woyipa, nati kwa iye yekha, ‘Mbuye wanga akuchedwa kubwera,’
But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming,
49 nayamba kumenya antchito anzake, nadya ndi kumwa ndi zidakwa.
and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50 Mbuye wa wantchitoyo adzabwera pa tsiku limene iye samamuyembekezera ndi pa nthawi imene iye sakuyidziwa.
the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware,
51 Adzamulanga koopsa ndipo adzamuyika kokhala anthu achiphamaso, kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.”
and he will cut him in two, and place his share with the hypocrites. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
