Maliko 13
1 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkukopoka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatite, “Jwakwiganya, nlole maganga ga ni nyuumba si isitite pakusalala ni kusimosya!”
As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"
2 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ana nkugawona majumba gamakulungwa ga? Ngalisigalila liganga pa liganga liine, liganga lyalililyose chilityochekwe.”
"You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one stone will be left here upon another--not thrown down."
3 Che Yesu paŵatemi pa chitumbi chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni chachikulolegana ni Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, che Petulo ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana ni che Andulea ŵausisye Che Yesu paŵaliji jika pe.
He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
4 “Choonde ntusalile, gelego chigakopochele chakachi? Ana chimanyisyo chi chachichilosye kuti gaŵandichile kukopochela gelego?”
"Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
5 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nlilolechesye, mundu akanlambusya.
So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.
6 Ŵandu ŵajinji chaaiche kwa liina lyangu, achitiji, ‘Une ndili Kilisito!’ Nombewo chiŵalambusye ŵandu ŵajinji.
Many will come assuming my name and saying, 'I am He;' and they will mislead many.
7 Ni ŵanyamwe pachinchipikana ya ngondo ni usone wa ngani ja ngondo, ngasinjogopa. Gelego gakusachilwa gatyochele, nambo mbesi jila jikanaŵe kwika.
But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.
8 Ŵandu ŵa chilambo chimo chaachimenyana ni ŵandu ŵa chilambo chine, ni ŵandu ŵa umwenye umo chaputane ni ŵandu ŵa umwenye wine. Chichityochele chindendemesi cha chilambo ni sala jajikulungwa panepane. Yele yose chiiŵe mpela ndande ja chilungusi cha kuligopola.
For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
9 “Ŵanyamwe nlilolechesye, pakuŵa ŵandu chankamule ni kunjausya mmikungulu ni kumputanga mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi. Chaachinjausya paujo pa ŵakulamula ni mamwenye ligongo lyangu kuti nkombole kuuŵalanjila umboni wa ngani syangu.
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.
10 Nambo mbesi jikanaŵe kwika, Ngani Jambone jikusachilwa jilalichilwe kaje kwa ŵandu wose.
But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.
11 Nombewo pachachinkamula ni kunjausya pankungulu, nkaganisya kaje ichimmechete. Mmecheteje chachili chose chachimpegwe katema ko, pakuŵa ngaŵa ŵanyamwe uchimmechete nambo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Nlongo changalauche nlongo njakwe aulajikwe, nombe atati changalauche mwanagwe aulajikwe, nombe ŵanache chiŵakane ni kwaulaga achaŵelesi ŵao.
"Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
13 Ŵandu wose chaachinchima ŵanyamwe kwa ligongo lya liina lyangu. Nambo juchapililile mpaka kumbesi jo chakulupuswe mu kulamulikwa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.
14 “Nambo pachinchione, ‘Chindu cha uchimwa chachikwikanawo uwonasi,’ chijimi pangaŵa pakwe.” Jwakusyoma amanyilile malumbo gakwe. “Ŵandu ŵaali kuchilambo cha ku Yudea autuchile kumatumbi.
"As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not" --let the reader observe these words--"then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;
15 Mundu jwali paasa nyuumba jao, akalikaŵisya kwinjila nkati kukujigala chindu, nambo agambe kuutuka!
let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;
16 Ni mundu jwali kumigunda, akauja sooni kumusi kukujigala mwinjilo wakwe.
and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up his outer garment.
17 Ngwakolela chanasa achakongwe ŵachakole itumbo ni ŵachajonjesye pa moŵa go, pakuŵa chalaje kwannope!
And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
18 Mpopele kuti indu yo ikakopochela pa moŵa ga mbepo.
"But pray that it may not come in the winter.
19 Pakuŵa pa moŵa go ŵandu chalaje ulaje wanganiutyochele chitandile kundanda, Akunnungu paŵagumbile chilambo mpaka lelo, ni ngautyochela sooni.
For those will be times of suffering the like of which has never been from the first creation of God's world until now, and assuredly never will be again;
20 Nambo ikaliji Ambuje ngakapungusye moŵa go, ngapagwa mundu jwakakulupwiche. Nambo kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵao ŵaŵasagwile, apungwisye moŵa go.
and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.
21 “Nipele, pa moŵa go ansalilaga mundu, ‘Nnole, Kilisito ali apano,’ pane ‘Ali apala,’ ngasimwakulupilila.
"At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
22 Pakuŵa chachikopochela ŵanya Kilisito ŵa unami ni ŵakulondola ŵa unami. Chachitenda imanyisyo ni yakusimosya, yakombolekaga, ŵalyungasye ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu.
For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray--if indeed that were possible--even God's own People.
23 Nambo ŵanyamwe nlilolechesye. Une masile kunsalila chile gose gakanaŵe kukopochela.
But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything.
24 “Nambo gamalaga moŵa ga malagasyo go, lyuŵa chilipilile ni lwesi ngalulanguchisya.
"At that time, however, after that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light;
25 Ndondwa sisipatuche kutyochela kwinani ni indu yose yaili ni machili kumaunde chiitinganyikwe.
the stars will be seen falling from the firmament, and the forces which are in the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
26 Pelepo chachimmona Mwana jwa Mundu, achiikaga mwiunde kwa machili gamakulungwa ni ukulu.
And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Chiŵatume achikatumetume ŵao ŵa kwinani kukwasonganya ŵandu ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kutyochela mbande syose ncheche sya chilambo. Kutyochela kwakulikose pa chilambo.
Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.
28 “Nlijiganye yeleyi kutyochela mu chitagu cha chitela cha ntini. Pankusiona nyambi syakwe sitepetele ni kusipuka masamba, nkumanyilila kuti katema ka ula kaŵandichile.
"Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
29 Iyoyo peyo, ŵanyamwe pachinchiiona yeleyo ichikopochelaga, mmanyilile kuti, Mwana jwa Mundu aŵandichile nnope kwika.
So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door.
30 Isyene ngunsalila, uŵelesi wu ngaumala gakanaŵe kukopochela gele gose.
I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
31 Kwinani ni chilambo chiimale, nambo maloŵe gangu chigakopochele isyene mpela indite pa kusala.
Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
32 “Nambo, pachanya lyuŵa lya mbesi namose saa jakwe, ngapagwa mundu jwakumanyilila, atamuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ngakumanyilila, namose Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngakumanyilila. Ikaŵe Atati Akunnungu pe ni ŵakumanyilila.
"But as to that day or the exact time no one knows--not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
33 Nlilolechesye ni kuliŵika chile, pakuŵa ngankukamanyilila katema ko chikaiche chakachi.
Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen.
34 Chiichiŵa mpela mundu jwakwaula ulendo, kujileka nyuumba jakwe ni kwalechela ulamusi achikapolo ŵao, jwalijose ni masengo gakwe, nipele ŵannajisye jwakulindilila pannango kuti aŵeje meeso pe.
It is like a man living abroad who has left his house, and given the management to his servants--to each one his special duty--and has ordered the porter to keep awake.
35 Nipele nliŵiche chile, pakuŵa ngankumanyilila nsyene nyuumba chauje katema chi. Pane chauje ligulo, pane pasikati chilo, pane kuninkucha ni pane kundaŵi.
Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn.
36 Nliŵiche chile, aujaga chisisimuchile, ansimane ndi meeso pe.
Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep.
37 Ingunsalila ŵanyamwe ni ingwasalila wose, nliŵiche chile!”
Moreover, what I say to you I say to all--Be wakeful!"
