< Mark 13 >

1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimaga hekarũ-inĩ, ũmwe wa arutwo ake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ta rora! Mahiga maya kaĩ nĩ manene-ĩ! Kaĩ nyũmba ici nĩ thaka-ĩ!”
2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũrona nyũmba ici nene ũũ? Gũtirĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩa maya rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aikarĩte thĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ angʼetheire hekarũ-rĩ, Petero na Jakubu na Johana na Anderea makĩmũũria marĩ keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ,
4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”
“Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mageekĩka rĩ? Na kĩmenyithia atĩ maũndũ macio marĩ hakuhĩ gwĩkĩka nĩ kĩrĩkũ?”
5 Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio nĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
6 Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
Andũ aingĩ nĩ magooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Kristũ,’ na nĩmakaheenia andũ aingĩ.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Rĩrĩa mũkaigua mbaara na mũhuhu wa mbaara mũtikanamake. Maũndũ ta macio no nginya mekĩke, no rĩrĩ, ithirĩro ti rĩkinyu.
8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũthamaki ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nĩgũkaagĩa na ithingithia kũndũ na kũndũ, o na kũgĩe ngʼaragu. Maũndũ maya nĩ kĩambĩrĩria kĩa ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
9 So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.
“No inyuĩ-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte. Nĩmũkaneanwo kũrĩ ciama cia athuuri na mũhũũrwo iboko thĩinĩ wa thunagogi. Nĩmũkarũgama mbere ya aathani na athamaki nĩ ũndũ wakwa, mũtuĩke aira akwa kũrĩ o.
10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
Naguo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega no nginya wambe ũhunjio kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
11 But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũkaanyiitwo mũtwarwo mũgaciirithio, mũtikanetange mũgĩĩciiria ũrĩa mũkoiga. Inyuĩ mũkoiga o ũrĩa mũkaahotithio hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo ti inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũkĩaria, no nĩ Roho mũtheru.
12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
“Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩra mũrũ wa nyina ooragwo, na ithe wa mũndũ akunyanĩre mwana wake, o na ciana nĩikaremera aciari a cio na imoragithie.
13 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya mũthia nĩakahonoka.
14 So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
“Rĩrĩa mũkoona kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu na gĩa kũrehe ihooru kĩarũgama harĩa gĩtagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrũgama-rĩ, (ũrĩa ũrathoma nĩamenye ũhoro ũcio), hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmoorĩre irĩma-inĩ.
15 Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgaakorwo arĩ nyũmba yake igũrũ ndakanaharũrũke kana atoonye kũruta kĩndũ nyũmba.
16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
Nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo arĩ mũgũnda ndagacooke mũciĩ kũgĩĩra nguo ciake.
17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo marĩ na nda na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmagakorwo marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
18 Pray that this will not occur in the winter.
Hooyagai Ngai atĩ maũndũ macio matikanakinye hĩndĩ ya heho,
19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.
nĩ ũndũ matukũ macio gũgaakorwo na mĩnyamaro ĩtarĩ yoneka ĩngĩ tayo kuuma kĩambĩrĩria rĩrĩa Ngai ombire thĩ nginya rĩu, na gũtikoneka ĩngĩ tayo.
20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.
Tiga Mwathani anyihanyiihirie matukũ macio, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩgatigara. No tondũ wa andũ ake arĩa aamũre, matukũ macio nĩmagakuhĩhio.
21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ haha!’ kana amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ haarĩa!’ mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ a maheeni na anabii a maheeni nĩmakeyumĩria monanie morirũ na maringe ciama nĩguo mahĩtithie andũ arĩa aamũre, korwo no kũhoteke.
23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte tondũ nĩndamwĩra maũndũ mothe mbere ya ihinda rĩtanakinya.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
“No ihinda-inĩ rĩu, thuutha wa maũndũ macio ma mĩnyamaro, “‘riũa nĩrĩkagĩa nduma, naguo mweri ndũkaara;
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
njata nacio nĩikaagũa kuuma igũrũ, namo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.’
26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩ makoona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa matu, arĩ na hinya mũingĩ mũno o na riiri.
27 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
Nake nĩagatũma araika ake macookanĩrĩrie andũ ake arĩa aamũre kuuma mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, o na kuuma ituri ciothe cia thĩ na cia igũrũ.
28 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
“Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrutei na mũkũyũ: Rĩrĩa honge ciaguo ciarĩkia gũthundũra na ciaruta mathangũ-rĩ, nĩmũmenyaga atĩ hĩndĩ ya riũa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
Ũguo noguo, rĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio magĩĩkĩka mũkaamenya ihinda rĩrĩ hakuhĩ, rĩrĩ o mũromo-inĩ.
30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigaathira nginya maũndũ macio mothe makaahingio.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũũĩ ũhoro wa mũthenya ũcio kana ithaa rĩu, o na araika a igũrũ matiũĩ, o na Mũriũ ndooĩ, tiga Ithe wiki!
33 Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.
Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte! Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte! Mũtiũĩ rĩrĩa ihinda rĩu rĩgaakinya.
34 It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
Gũkahaana ta mũndũ ũgũthiĩ rũgendo ũrĩa atigaga egaĩra ndungata ciake irorage mũciĩ, o ndungata akamĩhe wĩra wayo, na agatiga atha mũikaria wa mũrango o nake aikarage ehũũgĩte.
35 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte tondũ mũtiũĩ rĩrĩa mwene mũciĩ agacooka, kana agooka hwaĩ-inĩ, kana ũtukũ gatagatĩ, kana ngũkũ ĩkĩgamba, o na kana gũgĩthererũka.
36 Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
O rĩrĩa angĩũka-rĩ, mũtikanareke amũkore mwĩrigĩtwo.
37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
Ũguo ngũmwĩra, noguo ngwĩra andũ othe, atĩrĩ, ‘Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte’.”
