Mark 13
1 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!
Yesu alipokuwa anatoka Hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake alimwambia, “Mwalimu, tazama jinsi mawe haya na majengo haya yalivyo ya ajabu!”
2 And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
Yesu akamwambia, “Je, unayaona majengo haya makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitabomolewa.”
3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni akielekea Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohane na Andrea wakamwuliza kwa faragha,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?
“Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kwamba mambo haya karibu yatimizwe?”
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.
Yesu akaanza kuwaambia, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.
Maana wengi watakuja wakilitumia jina langu, wakisema, Mimi ndiye! nao watawapotosha watu wengi.
7 But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for [this] must happen, but the end is not yet.
Mtakaposikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita, msifadhaike. Mambo hayo lazima yatokee, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.
8 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things [are the] beginnings of throes.
Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine; utawala mmoja utapigana na utawala mwingine; kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko ya ardhi na njaa. Mambo haya ni kama tu maumivu ya kwanza ya kujifungua mtoto.
9 But ye, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;
“Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Maana watu watawapelekeni mahakamani, na kuwapigeni katika masunagogi. Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu ili mpate kunishuhudia kwao.
10 and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Lakini lazima kwanza Habari Njema ihubiriwe kwa mataifa yote.
11 But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, [nor prepare your discourse]: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for ye are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.
Nao watakapowatieni nguvuni na kuwapeleka mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya yale mtakayosema; saa ile itakapofika, semeni chochote mtakachopewa, maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali Roho Mtakatifu.
12 But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe; baba atamsaliti mwanae; watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
13 And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Watu wote watawachukieni ninyi kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho ndiye atakayeokolewa.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider [it], ) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
“Mtakapoona Chukizo Haribifu limesimama mahali ambapo si pake, (msomaji na atambue maana yake!) Hapo watu walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani.
15 and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house;
Mtu aliye juu ya paa la nyumba asishuke kuingia nyumbani mwake kuchukua kitu.
16 and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment.
Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
Ole wao waja wazito na wanaonyonyesha siku hizo!
18 And pray that it may not be in winter time;
Ombeni ili mambo hayo yasitukie nyakati za baridi.
19 for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the] beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be;
Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki ambayo haijatokea tangu Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitatokea tena.
20 and if [the] Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
Kama Bwana asingepunguza siku hizo, hakuna binadamu ambaye angeokolewa. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule wake, Bwana amezipunguza siku hizo.
21 And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
“Basi mtu akiwaambieni, Tazama, Kristo yupo hapa! au Yupo pale! msimsadiki.
22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo, watafanya ishara na maajabu, ili kuwapotosha wateule wa Mungu, kama ikiwezekana.
23 But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Mimi nimewaambieni mambo yote kabla hayajatokea.
24 But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
“Basi, siku hizo baada ya dhiki hiyo, jua litatiwa giza na mwezi hautaangaza.
25 and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;
Nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
26 and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
Hapo watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika mawingu kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
Kisha atawatuma malaika wake; atawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka mwisho wa dunia mpaka mwisho wa mbingu.
28 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
“Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano huu: Mara tu matawi yake yanapoanza kuwa laini na kuchanua majani, mnajua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29 Thus also ye, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.
Hali kadhalika nanyi mtakapoona mambo hayo yakitendeka, jueni kwamba Mwana wa Mtu yuko karibu sana.
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.
Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitapita kabla ya mambo hayo yote kutukia.
31 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
Mbingu na dunia zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
“Lakini hakuna mtu ajuaye siku au saa hiyo itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana; Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.
33 Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know when the time is:
Muwe waangalifu na kesheni, maana hamjui wakati huo utafika lini.
34 [it is] as a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
Itakuwa kama mtu anayeondoka nyumbani kwenda safari akiwaachia watumishi wake madaraka, kila mmoja na kazi yake; akamwambia mlinzi wa mlango awe macho.
35 Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;
Kesheni, basi, kwa maana hamjui mwenye nyumba atarudi lini; huenda ikawa jioni, usiku wa manane, alfajiri au asubuhi.
36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Kesheni ili akija ghafla asije akawakuta mmelala.
37 But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
Ninayowaambieni ninyi, nawaambia wote: Kesheni!”
