Matthew 24
1 As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
Jeeso chaa vaalyi kuzwa mu itempere nna lyi yendeere. Varutwana vaakwe cho kuiiza kwaalyi choku taanga nni va mucho kuti mane u vweene muzaako we iiyi itempere.
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.”
Mmi iiye nnaa ve itava nnaati, “mu weene zoonse iisi zintu? Aaho nni mulwiirite, ka kwiina ivwe lyeeti nnilyi waanike nni lyiina he iwulu lye lyimwe muku rutunuka.”
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)
Mmi cho usii keere he iruundu lye ziteente, varutwana vaakwe choku iiza kwaalyi voonse cho kulyi kuungula nniva mu vuuza kuti, “Tu lwiire kuti zoonse iizi zintu kazi pangahalye vulye? Chishupo cho kuiiza kwaako ka yive iinzi mane nne mamanimani e inkaanda?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
Jeeso nna vee tava nnaati, “Mu tokomere kuti saanzi nni kuvi nne yeeti nna mu cheengerere. Ka kuti vaangi ka veeze mu izina lyaangu.
5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Mane kava kucho kuti, 'Njeeme Kirisiti,' mmi kava ziyeza- chengerere vantu vaangi choku va soha.
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.
Mmi kamu zuwe inkoondo nne mahulyuhulyu aayo ku zwaaho mu vone kuti saanzi nni mukatezehi, ka kuti iizi zintu zoonse zi lukeere ku pangahala; mmi mamanimani keeti nni a ku sikite.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Mane inkaanda ka zilyi lwiisa nne mivuso ka yilyi saamdukire. Mmi ka kuve inzala nne ku nyanganya kwe inkaanda mu zivaka zi saa swani.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Mmi iizi zintu zoonse kazi ku veere mataangiro o ku sasama koku hwizumuka.
9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Lyiinu njeeti nni va mu swiisikize kuku katazwa nne ku ihayiiwa. Kamu toyeewa nne inkaanda zoonse che ivaka lye izina lyaangu.
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
Ku zwaaho vaangi kava chuunchune choku taanga nni valyi wuza nne kulyi toya.
11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
Vaporofita vaangi va mapa ka vave kwa teni mmi choku soha vantu vaangi.
12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
Ka kuti vuvilaala kavu ku injihite chisemo cha vantu vaangi ka chitoontolye.
13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Mmi iiye yeeti nnalyi koza mbwiita ku mamanimani njeeti nna hazwa.
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.
Uuwu mulayeza wo muvuso woku iwulu kawu kutazwa mu inkaanda yoonse kuva vupaki mu inkaanda yoonse, ku zwaaho mamanimani njeeti nni eeze.
15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
Chiingi lyiinu, chini mwaa vona chiina ikwe chi zakununa, chaa waamba chaacho muporofita Danyeere, nni chi zimeene ha jolola (a yoo vala a lyemuhe),
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
A yo wiina mwa Judiya a ngombweere ku maruundu,
17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
yo wiina he iwulu lye inzuvo saanzi a suuki he iwulu lyaayo kuti a ka hiinde chimwe mukati ka teni,
18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
mane nnaaye yo wiina mu inkaanda saanzi a voolyi a ka hiindi chizwaato.
19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
Mmi ku mayivite aavo ve mmiinsi nne vanyoonsa inkeke mwaawo mazuva!
20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
Mu rapere kuti ku ngombola kweenu saanzi nni kuvi ha malyiha kamba lwe Nsavata.
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.
Ka kuti ka ku kwiina manyaando makaando mwaawo mazuva a chita kuti inkaanda chiinga yi vaati yi kuva ka eeni kuva ha teni mane nne kuti keeti nni a voolye nni ave kwa teni hape.
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.
Kwaanda kuti aawo mazuva a hunguzwa, nni ku sana ku vaavi muntu yeeti nna va hazwa. Mmi kuya cha va salyitwa a a mazuva ka a fwiiswa.
23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
Mmi lyiinu haiva zumwe vulyo ka a kucho kuti Kirisiti zunuu hanu kamba zuna kuna, saanzi nno zumini.
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.
Ka kuti va Kirisiti nne vaporofita va mapa ka veeze nni va panga imboniso inkaando mane nne zi komosa ziingi a hulu, kuti va woolye ku ziyeza, chiku woolyeka mane nne va salyitwa.
25 See, I have told you in advance.
Mu vone nna mulwiira inako nni yi seeni ku sika.
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.
Chiingi lyiinu, nnaangati kava mucho kuti, mu lolye u waanika ku chikwa, mane saanzi nni muyi kwa teni, Kamba mu vone wiina mu inzuvo, yo mukati, saanzi nni mu zumini.
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.
Mmi siina mumini muwu minika ku vuzwa vwee zuva, mane choku ka voneka nne ku vuimino, nne ku iiza ko mwaana wo muntu naako mweeti nni kuve.
28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
Ka kuti koonse ku waanika chituunta ko kooko makuuvi nku a kunganera.
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.’
Mmi vulyo hoo hwaaho ku mamanimani a masukuluka eeyo inako izuva keeti nni lyi kusii zwiisa iseri, nne mweezi nnaawo, inkaani nnaazo ka ziwe ku iwulu, mane nne ziho ze iwulu nnaazo ka zinyungooswa.
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.
Lyiinu chishupo cho mwaana wo muntu njeeti nni chi voneke mu iwulu, ku zwaaho mishovo yoonse ya vantu ve inkaanda njeeti nni va lyire. Ka va vone mwaana wo muntu nna keeza mu makope e iwulu nne che ziho nne ku vereenga ku kaando.
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.
Mmi kaa tume mangiloyi aakwe cho mulyumo mukaando we intorombita, mmi kava kunganya aavo va salyitwa mu zivaka zoone zo luhuho ku mamanimani e iwulu kuya ku amwi.
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.
Mulyi tute ituto ku ibola, ho hwaaho vulyo ibola chilyi taanga ku zwiisa tutavi nne makova mahiya, chipeto chi mwee ziva kuti imbumbi chi yiina ha fwihi.
33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
Lyiinu he iwulu lyaaho chini mwaa vona iizi zintu zoonse, nni mu izive kuti cho wiina ha fwihi, heene vulyo ha mulyaango.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
Aaho nni mulwiirite, iichi chivaka keeti nni chi hite mbwiita iizi zintu zoonse zi pangahalye.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Iwulu nne inkaanda kazi mane mmi manzwi aangu aawo keeti nni a mane.
36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mmi kuya che iilyo izuva nne inako ka kwiina yo wiizi, mane nnaangati mangiloyi e iwulu, kamba mwaana, mbwiita Taayo vulyo.
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Siina mu inako za Noah muku veena nne zo kuiiza ko mwaana wo muntu mweeti nni kuve.
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.
Mmi siina mwaawo mazuva muunda chiwu seeni kuva ha teni va vaalyi kulyia nni va nywa, kusesa nne ku sesesa mbwiita Noah chiinga e nijra mu iyareka,
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.
nni va vula kuiiziva chimwe vulyo mbwiita muunda chiinga weeza kuva hiinda voonse vulyo—mane nne kuiiza ko mwaana wo muntu mweeti nni kuve.
40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
Lyiinu vakwaame voovere ka va kwiina mu luwa—wu mwiina kaa hiindwa wu mwiina choku shaala.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Vakulwaakazi voovere kava ku twa—wu mwiina kaa hiindwa wu mwiina kaa shaalye.
42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
Chiingi lyiinu mu ikalye nni mu lyiisiiza ka kuti ka mwiizi kuti Simwiine weenu u keeza lyiiri.
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.
Mmi mu izive iichi, kuti kalyi si inzuvo u woola ku iziva kuti musa mweeze ku yiva inako iinzi ya masiku, keeti choo siyirira musa kuti zaa yive mu inzuvo yaakwe nna sa yi lyiisi.
44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
Chiingi nnaanwe mu lukeere ku ikala nni mu lyivereere, ka kuti ka mwiizi inako yo mwaana wo muntu yaa keeza chaayo.
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?
Chiingi lyiinu njeeye iini iiye muhikaana yoo sepahala nne yoo kwanine yeeti nnaati simwiine waakwe haa mu siya he inzuvo yaakwe kaa he vahikaana vamwe zilyio che inako yi swaneezi?
46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Mmi kwiina mikoonde kwaalyi iiye muhikaana yeeti nna waanike nna kweete ku panga voovo vulyo.
47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Aaho nni mulwiirite uuzo simwiine kaa mu hiinde choku mu viika mu maziimo o ku vavalyera inzuvo yoonse vulyo.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
Mmi lyiinu muhikaana yoo fosaheere kaa lyi lwiire mu inkulo yaakwe, 'simwiine waangu u ka lyiehete,'
49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
mane choku taanga nna kava vamwe vahikaanakunine, cho kulyia nne kunywa nne vachaakolwa.
50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
Mmi simwiine woozo muhikaana keeze che izuva nne inako yaa sa lyivereere.
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.
Lyiinu simwiine waakwe njeeti nna mu kosolye ha kati, choku mu panga siina muva ihayirwa vaitimukanyi, kweeti nni ku kwiina ku boonda nne ku lyira inkuunkuma.
