Matthew 24
1 As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
Jesu wakazwa aanze achikombelo weenda. Basikwiiya bakwe bakeza kulinguwe kuzomutondezya mayake achikombelo.
2 “Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
Pesi wakabasandula wati kulimbabo, “Tamuzibwene pe zintu eezi zyoonse? Nkasimpe ndamwambila, takukwe ibbwe liyochala atala alimwi litakwe kuyobwalwa aansi.”
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
Nakachikkede atala lyechilundu cha Olivusi, basikwiiya bakamusikila kumbali bati, “twambile, ndilili nikuyochitika zintu eezi? Ninzi chiyoba chitondezyo chakuboola kwaako alimwi amamanino anyika?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
Jesu wakabasandula wati kulimbabo, “Amuchenjele kuti kutabi umwi umusowa.
5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Nkaambo kuyozwa bayingi muzina lyangu. Bayowaamba kuti, 'ndindime Kkilisito, álimwi bayosowa bantu bayingi.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
'Muyomvwa nkondo azyaambo zyankondo. Amukalange kuti zitakamukatazyi pe, alimwi eezi zintu zyeelede zichitike; pesi mamanino katanakuba pe.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Nkambo inyika iyobukila nyikanyina, alimwi bwami abwaminyina. Kuyoba nzala alimwi amuzuzumina wenyika mumabazu asiyene siyene.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Pesi zintu ezi zyoonse matangunino biyo amachise amuntu sikutumbuka.
9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Elyo bayomutola kukwezegwa akuyomujaya. Muyosulwa enyika zyoonse akambo kezina lyangu.
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
Eelyo bantu bayingi bayobukilwa, alimwi akwaba umwi awumwi akusulana umwi awumwi.
11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
Basinsiimi bayingi babeji bayoza akuzosowa bayingi.
12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
Nkambo bupapi buyovula, luyando lwabayiongi luyotontola.
13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Pesi oyo uyokakatila kusikila kumamanino uyofutulwa.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Ayamakani mabotu abwami ayokawukwa munyika yoonse mbuli bukamboni kumanyika oonse. Eelyo mamanino ayosika.
15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
“Lino, nimuzobona chisesemyo chisisidwe, chaakambwa a Daniyele musinsiimi, kayiimvwi mubusena busalala” ( ooyo ubala amvwisisisye).
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Amuchite kuti aabo balimuJudiya bachijile kuzilundu,
17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
ooyo uli achiluli changanda ataseluki aansi kuzobweza nikuba chimwi chintu chilimungánda,
18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
alimwi amuchite ooyo ulimumuunda aleke kujokela kuzobweza chakusama chakwe.
19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
Pesi maawe kubabo bamintide akuli baabo banyonsya bana mumazuba aayo!
20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
Amukombe kuti kuchija kwenu kutakabi muchindi champeyo nikuba mubuzuba bwasabata.
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
Nkambo kuyoba mapenzi mapati loko, aayo atana kubonwa pe kuzwaida kumasangunino anyika kuzosikila lino, pe, takwe nikuzoba zili mbubobu pe.
22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
Nakuti mazuba aayo pesi afwinsigwa, tekwali kunooba naba muntu walikuzofulwa. Pesi nkambo kabasale aayo mazuba ayofwinsigwa.
23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
Lino kuti umwi muntu wamba kulindinywe kuti, 'Langa, ngoyu Kkilisito!'mutakamuzuminini pe akuzisyoma.
24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
Nkambo baKkilisito bakubeja abasinsimi babeji bayosika akuchita malele mapati azigambyo, kuti baleesye, nikuba, aabo basale.
25 See, I have told you in advance.
Amubone, ndamwambila kazitana kuchitika pe.
26 So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
Lino kuti baamba kuti kulindinywe, 'Mulange, ulimunkanda, 'mutakayinki pe oko kunkanda. Nikuba kuti, 'mulange, mwali mungánda zyamukati, 'mutakasyomi pe.
27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mbuli lulabi mbulumweka kuzwa kubuzwezuba alimwi lulamvwikkila koonse kusikila kububbila, oko kuyoba nkuboola kwa Mwana Muntu.
28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
Oko kuli munyama ufwide, nkukubungene makubi.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
Pesi mpawawo kwakumana mazuba amapenzi aya izuba liyosiya, mweezi tuchiko kuyopa mumuni pe, inyenyezi ziyoowa kuzwa kujulu, alimwi manguzu ejulu ayotikinisigwa.
30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Lino chitondezyo cha Mwan a Muntu chiyoboneka mujulu, alimwi misyobo yoonse iyolila. Bayomubona Mwana a Muntu kalikuza atala lyamayoba akujulu anguzu alimwi abulemu bupati.
31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Uyotuma baangelo bakwe akulila kwamweembo, alimwi bayobunganya antomwe basale bakwe kuzwa kumabazu aane, kuzwa kumpela imwi kuyosika kumpela yomwe yakujulu kusikila kuliimwi.
32 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
Amwiiye chiiyo kuzwa kumukuyu. Aawo mutabi nuuba muteete akusyuuka matu, ngamwaziba kuti mayiinza abafwifwi.
33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
Lino zilikozyenie, naa mwabona zintu ezi zyoonse, mweelede kuziba kuti waba afwifwi, amulyango loko.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
Nchobeni ndamwambila, izyalani eeli talikoyomana pe kazitanachitika pe zintu eezi.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Ijulu anyika ziyomana, pesi majwi aangu takwe natakamane pe.
36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Pesi takukwe uuzi buzuba nikuba chiindi niziyochitika eezi, nikuba baangelo bakujulu, nikuba Mwana a Muntu, pesi Taata alike.
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Mbuli kumazuba a Nowa, mbukuyooba kubola kwa Mwana a Muntu.
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
Mbuli kumazuba kakutana boola zambangulwe bakali kulya alimwi akunywa, kabakwatana akukwatanisigwa kusikila kubuzuba Nowa mbwakanjila mubwato.,
39 And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
alimwi takukwe anchibakalizi pe kusikila izambangulwe lyabatola - lino mbukuyoba kusika kwa Mwana a Muntu.
40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
Eelyo bantu babili banoli mumuunda - umwi akati kabo uyobwezegwa, alimwi umwi uyosiigwa.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Banakazi babili banoli kabaziiya aziiyo - umwi akati kabo uyobwezegwa, alimwi umwi uyosiigwa.
42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
Nkinkaako amuchenjele, nkambo tamuzi pe buzuba Mwami wenu nayoboola.
43 But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
Pesi amuzizibe eezi, kuti kwanoli mwani ngánda walizi chindi akati kamansiku sikubba namusikila, walikuno lindide alimwi talikunoleka ngánda yakwe pe kuti itululwe.
44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
Nkinkaako anywebo mulelede kulibambila, nkambo Mwana Muntu uyobola muchiindi nchimutalangilide pe.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
“Lino nguuli mulanda usyomekede alimwi kalimusongo ooyo wakabikwa asimalelo wakwenkuti abaambe ngánda yakwe kuchitila kuti abape chakulya kuchiindi cheelede?
46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Uli achoolwe ooyo mulanda uyojanwa kachita oobo.
47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Nkasimpe, ndamwambila kuti simalelaakwe uyomubika kuti akabambe zintu zyoonse.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
Pesi mulanda mubi kuti waamba eezi mumoyo wakwe, 'Simalelaangu wanonoka,
49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
alimwi akatangune kuuma balanda bakwe, alimwi kulya akunywa azidakwa,
50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
lino simalelaakwe ooyo mulanda uyosika mubuzuba ooyo mulanda mpatalibambilide pe alimwi achindi nchatazipe.
51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Simalelaakwe uzomugonkola goonkola akumwaaba kubusena kuti bakabe aamwi abasikuupawupa, ooko kuyoba kulila akuluma ntwino.
