Lukka 21
1 Jesu wakalanga wabona balumi bavubi kabalokubikka zipo munkomo yakubikkila mali.
As Jesus was observing the rich casting their gifts into the treasury,
2 Wakabona umwi muka mufu ufwaba kalokubikka tunini tobile.
he saw an indigent widow throw in two mites.
3 Lino wakati, “Kasimpe ndamba obu kulindunywe, oyu muchete mukamufu wapa kwinda boonse.
And he said, I tell you, truly, that this poor widow has cast in more than any of them;
4 Boonse bapa zipo mukwindilila mukuvula kwazyo. Pesi mukamufu, kwinda buchete bwakwe, wabikka toonse twayelede kupona ato”.
for all of these, out of their superfluous store, have thrown into the sacred chest, she has thrown in all the little that she had.
5 Abamwi bakali kwambula achikombelo, yasamika mabwe mabotu azituuzyo, wakamba,
Some having remarked, that the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and presents, he said,
6 “kulizezi zintu nzimubwene, izuba liyosika nikuyochala katachikwe bbwe lilatala abbwe nyina liyochala kalitawidide ansi.”
The time will come, when these things which you behold, shall be razed that one stone will not be left upon another.
7 Bamumuzya bati, “Muyisi, ndilili niziyochitika zintu ezi?” Alubo nchiinzi chiyoba chitondezyo chakuti zintu ezi zyaamba kuchitika?”
Then they asked him, saying, Rabbi, when will these things be: and what will be the sign, when they are about to be accomplished?
8 Jesu wakasandula, “Amuchenjele kuti muteenwi. Nkambo bayosika muzina lyangu kabati 'ndime oyoo'a 'chindi chaba afwifwi' mutakabatobeli.
He answered, Take care that you be not seduced: for many will assume my character, saying, I am the person, and the time approaches; therefore, do not follow them.
9 Mwakumvwa nkondo ampyompyongano mutakayowi, nkambo zintu ezi zyelede kuchitikana kusanguna, pele mamanino takayochitika kufwambana”.
But when you shall hear of wars and insurrections, be not terrified: for these things must first happen; but the end will not immediately follow.
10 Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Chisi chiyolwana achisi nyina.
He added, Then will nation rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Kuyooba mizuzumino mipati munyika, anzala mumasena asiyenesiyene azilwazi, kuyoba ziyosya azitondeezyo zipati zizwa kujulu.
And there shall be great earthquakes in sundry places, and famines, and pestilences; there shall be also frightful appearances, and great prodigies in the sky.
12 Pesi kakutanachitika ezi zintu, bayobikka manza abo alindinywe akumupenzya, bamwabe muzikombelo amuntolongo, akumweeta kunembo lyabami abendelezi nkambo kazina lyangu.
But, before all this, you shall be apprehended and prosecuted, and delivered to synagogues, and imprisoned, and dragged before kings and governors, because of my name:
13 Kuyoba bukamboni kulindinywe.
and this afford scope for your testimony.
14 Nkambo kako amukanze mumyoyo yanu kuteezeezya makani ngimuyowamba,
Be, therefore, resolved not to premeditate what defense you shall make;
15 nkambo ndime usikamupe majwi abusongo kuti boonse basinkondo nyokwe bakachilwe kukaka akukazya.
for I will give you an utterance, and wisdom, which none of your adversaries shall be able to refute or resist.
16 Pele muyozipegwa atala abazyali, bakulana, nzubo, abenzuma alimwi bayobikwa bamwi bana mulufu.
And you shall be given up even by parents, and brothers, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
17 Muyosulwa moonse nkambo kazina lyangu.
And, on my account, you shall be universally hated.
18 Pele takukoyooba kasusu kakumitwe yanu kayooloba.
Yet not a hair of your head shall be lost.
19 Kumakatazyo muyoobujana bumi bwanu.
Save your souls by your perseverance.
20 “Nimwakubona Jelusalema yazyungulukwa ampi, lino muyoziba kuti kusaalwa kwabo kwaba afwifwi.
Now, when you shall see Jerusalem invested with armies, know that its desolation is nigh.
21 Lino abo bali muJudiya abachijile mumalundu, alubo bali mudolopo abazwe, abo alabo bali anze achisi tabelede kunjila mudolopo.
Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; let those in the city make their escape, and let not those in the country enter the city:
22 Nkambo aya mazuba akubwedzya chibi, kuti zintu zyoonse zilembedwe ziyoozuzikizigwe.
for these will be days of vengeance, in which all the denunciations of the scriptures shall be accomplished.
23 Mawee kuli babo bamisi akulibabo banyonsya kumazuba ayo! Nkambo kuyoba mapenzi mapati munyika, ayendelana abantu aba.
But, alas, for the women with child, and for them who give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Bayojegwa apanga, bayootolwa baange kuzisi zyoonse a Jelusalemu uyoozunganisigwa abamasi kusikila chindi chabamasi chizulile.
They shall fall by the sword; they shall be carried captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be over.
25 Kuyooba zitondeezyo kuzuba, akumwezi, amunyenyezi. Amunyika, nyika iyoba akakukatazigwa nkambo kakuvuuma kwamayuwe amulwizi.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth, the anguish of desponding nations; and roarings in the seas, and floods;
26 Kuyoba bantu bayoomana nguzu akuyowa akuyeya zintu zitasikile nyika. Nkambo nguzu zyakujulu ziyozunganisigwa.
men expiring with the fear and apprehension of those things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Mpawo bayomubona Mwana mulombe wa Muntu kaboola mujoba munguzu amubulemu bupati.
Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great glory and power.
28 Pele zintu ezi zyakutalika kuchitika, amunyampuke akulungumika mitwe yanu, nkambo lwangunuko lwanu lwaba afwifwi”.
Now when these things begin to be fulfilled, look up, and lift up your heads; because your deliverance approaches.
29 Jesu wakabambila muzikozyano, “Mulange mukuyu amasamu onse.
He proposed to them, also, this comparison: Consider the fig tree, and the other trees.
30 Lino na asyuuka ndelema, anga mwabona lwanu akuziba mayinza aba afwifwi.
When you observe them shooting forth, you know, of yourselves, that the summer is nigh.
31 Lino aboobo, na mwabona zintu ezi kazichitika, muyoziba kuti bwami bwaLeza bwaba afwifwi.
Know, in like manner, when you shall see these events, that the Reign of God is nigh.
32 Kasimpe ndamwambila obu nywe, olu lunyungu talukayindi mane zintu ezi zikachitike.
Indeed, I say to you, that this race shall not fail until all be accomplished.
33 Ijulu anyika ziyoyinda, pele ijwi lyangu talikoyomana pe.
Heaven and earth shall fail; but my words shall not fail.
34 Pesi amuswilile lwanu, kuti myoyo yanu italemenwi akwindilizya kunywa akukolwa akulipenzya abuumi, azuba elyo talikoyomujana kufwambana pe
Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares: for, as a net,
35 mbuli kakole. Nkambo chiyosikila kuli boonse bapona kubusyu bwanyika yoonse.
it shall inclose all the inhabitants of the earth.
36 Pesi amulibambile chindi choonse, mukombe kuti mube anguzu akuchija zintu ezi zitachitike, akwiima kunembo lya Mwana mulombe wa Muntu”.
Be vigilant, therefore, praying on every occasion, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these approaching evils, and to stand before the Son of Man.
37 Lino kuzwa kuseni kusikila goko wakali kuyiisya muzikombelo, munsi wakali kuzwa anze akuyokkala kutegwa Oliveti.
Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives.
38 Bantu boonse balikusika kuseni kuzomuswilizya mutempele.
And every morning the people resorted early to the temple to hear him.
