Luka 21
1 Che Yesu ŵalolechesye kwa nnope, ŵaaweni ŵaipanje ali nkutaga sadaka syao mu lisanduku lya kugosela sadaka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 Ŵammweni jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwawo ali nkutaga senti siŵili.
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
3 Nipele, ŵatite, “Isyene ngunsalila kuti, aju jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwawo atasile yaijinji kwapunda wose.
“I tell you”, he said “that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 Pakuŵa ŵane wose atasile sadaka syao kutyochela mu yakupunda ya muipanje yao nambo jweleju nkulaga kwakwe atasile yose yakwete ya umi wakwe.”
for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.”
5 Ŵandu ŵampepe ŵa Che Yesu ŵaliji nkukunguluchila yankati Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ijatite pakoloswa ni maganga gambone pampepe ni sadaka sisyatyosikwe kwa Akunnungu. Nipele Che Yesu ŵatite,
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6 “Yele yose inkwiwona chigaiche moŵa gaati ngalisigalila liganga paliganga line pakuŵa yose yo chigumulikwe.”
“As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.”
7 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, ana chigatyochele chakachi gele? Ana chimanyisyo chi chachichilosye kuti gaŵandichile kutendekwa gelego?”
So the disciples questioned Jesus, “But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?”
8 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Nlilolechesye, ngasinlambuchikwa. Ŵandu ŵajinji chachiika achilitendaga ŵanyawo ali une, achitiji ‘Une ndili Kilisito Nkulupusyo!’ Ni kuti, ‘Katema kaŵandichile.’ Nambo ŵanyamwe ngasimwakuya.
And Jesus said, “See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not follow them.
9 Pachinchipilikana yangondo ni utinda ngasinjogopa pakuŵa ikusachilwa iwoneche kaje yeleyi nambo mbesi ngajityochela kwanakamo.”
And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.”
10 Sooni ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Ŵandu ŵa chilambo chimo chachimenyana ni ŵandu ŵa chilambo chine ni umwenye chiuputane ni umwenye wine.
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 Chichityochele chindendemesi chachikulungwa cha chilambo ni sala ni ilwele yakogoya panepane. Chiipagwe indu yakogoya ni imanyisyo yaikulungwa kwinani.
and there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
12 Nambo gakanaŵe kukopochela gelego, chinchikamulwa ni kunnagasya ni kunjausya mmajumba ga kupopelela ni kwaŵechetelela ni chachinjausya mmajumba ga kutaŵilwa ŵandu. Chanjigale paujo pa mamwenye ni pa ŵakulamula ligongo lya kungulupilila une,
Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
13 melepe nkombole kuusala umboni wangu kukwao.
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 Nlapilile mmitima jenu kuti nganganisya kaje ichinjile pakulichenjela.
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defense;
15 Pakuŵa une chinampe ŵanyamwe maloŵe gakuŵecheta pamo ni lunda nombe ŵammagongo ŵenu ngakombola kugakanila namose kugakana.
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 Achaŵelesi ŵenu ni achalongo achinjenu ni achapwenu ni achambusanga ŵenu changalauche ŵanyamwe. Ni ŵampepe mwa ŵanyamwe chimmulajikwe.
You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
17 Ŵandu wose chachinchima ŵanyamwe ligongo lya kungulupilila une.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
18 Nambo namose luumbo lwa mmitwe jenu ngalusoŵa.
Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
19 Nambo mpunde kupililila, pakuŵa kwa lyele litalalyo chimuukulupusye umi wenu.
By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
20 “Pachinchiuwona musi wa ku Yelusalemu ali asyungwile mipingo ja ŵangondo, pelepo mmanyilile kuti kugumulikwa kwakwe kuŵandichile.
As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
21 Pelepo, ŵaali ku Yudea autuchile mmatumbi ni ŵaali nkati Yelusalemu akopoche paasa ni ŵele ŵaali mmingunda akaujinjila wele musi wo.
Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
22 Pakuŵa gele ni moŵa ga Akunnungu kwalamula ŵandu ŵakwe ŵa ku Isilaeli, kuti gose gagalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela gaŵe isyene.
For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 Chalaje ŵaali ni iilu ni ŵakonjesya gele moŵago! Pakuŵa chikupagwe kulaga kwakukulungwa pachilambo ni uchimwa wa Akunnungu chiuŵe kwa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chi.
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
24 Ni ŵandu ŵampepe chaulagwe kwa lipanga ni ŵane chajigalikwe mateeka ni kwapwilinganya mu ilambo yose. Musi wa Yelusalemu chiulamulikwe ni ŵandu ŵa ilambo ine mpaka pachiumalile ulamusi wao.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over – as it will be.
25 “Chiipagwe imanyisyo mu lyuŵa ni mu lwesi ni mu ndondwa. Ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo chasupuche ni kukola lipamba ligongo lya kulindima kwa matumbela ga mu bahali.
There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
26 Ŵandu chapwe mitima ligongo lya lipamba achilolelaga indu ichityochele pachilambo pano, pakuŵa indu yose yaili ni machili kwiunde chisau lyuŵa ni lwesi ni ndondwa ni ine yose chiitinganyikwe.
People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
27 Pelepo, chachimmona Mwana jwa Mundu achiikaga mwiunde ni machili gamakulungwa ni ukulu wakwe.
Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Pachigatande kopochela gelego, njime mwa kulimba nchijinamukula mitwe jenu ligongo chiwombolo chenu chiŵandichile.”
And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”
29 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatanjile ŵanyawo chitagu chati, “Nnolechesye chitela cha ntini ni itela ine yose.
Then he taught them a lesson, saying – “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 Nnyiwonaga itela ininkusipuka nkuimanyilila kuti chuuku chiŵandichile.
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 Iyoyo peyo, nomwe ŵakwe pachinchiiwona yeleyo ichikopochelaga, mmanyilile kuti Umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Isyene ngunsalila, au uŵelesi wu ngaumala mpaka indu yose pachiimalichikwe.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Kwinani ni chilambo chiimale nambo maloŵe gangu ngagamala ng'oo.”
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Nambo nlilolechesye mwachimisyene, kuti mitima jenu ngasijitopelwa ni upoche ni kukolelwa ni kusauchila umi u. Pakuŵa lyele lyuŵa lyo chilinnyichilile chisisimuchile.
Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and ‘that day’ will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 Pakuŵa chilyaichilile mpela chitanji wose ŵakutama mu chilambo chose.
For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Nipele nlilolechesye ni kupopela katema kose kuti nkole machili mpakombole kuŵambala yele yose ichityochele ni kwima paujo pa Mwana jwa Mundu.”
Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
37 Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵandu pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu katema kose ka muusi nambo katema ka chilo ŵajaulaga kukutama kuchikwesya cha Miseituni.
During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the ‘Mount of Olives.’
38 Ŵandu wose ŵajimukaga kundaŵi pe ni nkwaula pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukwapilikanila Che Yesu.
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
