Matthew 24
1 And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Yesu walapula mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, lino mpwalikuya beshikwiya bakendi balamulesha ncoyalebakwa mwabuya Ng'anda iyo.
2 And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
Nomba Yesu walabambileti, “Ee mulabono ibi byonse, nomba cakubinga ndamwambilingeti, paliya libwe lyeti likashale palibwe linendi, lyeti likabule kupwayaulwa.”
3 And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? (aiōn g165)
Lino Yesu mpwalekala panshi pa mulundu wa maolifi, beshikwiya bakendi balesa kulyendiye palubasu bonka ne kumwipusheti, “Kamutwambilako, inga ibi nibikenshike lilyoni? Kayi nicani ceshi cikenshikenga nceti tukaboneneko kwisa kwenu, kayi ne cakupwa kwacindici?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you:
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cenjelani, kamutakabepwa ne muntu uliyense sobwe.
5 For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
Bantu bangi nibakese mulina lyakame! Kabambeti, ‘Klistu usa njame,’ Nibakabepe bantu bangi.
6 And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Nimukanyumfwe nkondo, kayi ne mbili shiyosha nkondo. Nomba amwe kamutaka yakamwa, Ee, ibi byela kwinshika, nsombi uku nteko kwambeti mapwililisho nawo alashiki kendi sobwe.”
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places:
“Pakwinga mishobo ya bantu nikabukilane, nabo bwami nibikalwanenga ne bwami. Nikukabe nsala, ne bikunkumo bishikutenkanya inshi mu misena ingi,
8 Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Nomba ibi byonse nicitatikowa ca mapensho.”
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.
“Bantu nibakamusunge ne kumupensha kayi ne kumushina. Bantu bamishobo yonse nibakamupele pacebo ca Lina lyakame.
10 And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
Bantu bangi pacindico nibakaleke kushoma, nibakatatike kupelana ne kulishana pamukowa wabo bene.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
Nikukaboneke bashinshimi bandemishibili beti bakabepe bantu bangi.
12 And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
Pacebo cakufula kwabintu byaipa, lusuno lwabantu bangi nilukacepe.
13 But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
Nsombi uyo eshakalimbikile mpaka kumapwililisho, endiyeti akapuluke.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come.
Nomba Mulumbe Waina uwu wa Bwami bwa Lesa nukakambaukwe pacishi capanshi conse, kwambeti, ube bukamboni kubantu ba mishobo yonse, popelapo mapwililisho nakashike.”
15 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
“Mwakabona cintu cishikusesemya cishikononga, calambwa ne Danyele mushinshimi, balacimaniki pa musena waswepa.” Obe ulabelengenga unyumfwishishe cena.
16 Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
Abo bali mu Yudeya bela kufwambila kumilundu.
17 And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Uyo uli pelu pa ng'anda yakendi kataseluka kuya kwingila mu ng'anda eti amantemo bibya byakendi.
18 And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.
Uyo uli kumabala, kataya kumunshi kuya kumanta cakufwala cakunsa.
19 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.
“Malele ku batukashi beti bakabenga ne mabunda, kayi ne batukashi beti bakayamwishenga bana mumasubayo.
20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
Pailani kwambeti cindi cakufwamba kacitakaba cindi camupewo, nambi pa busuba bwa Sabata sobwe.
21 For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
Pakwinga mapensho ayosha eti akaboneke mu masubayo, nkanabonekapo kufuma mpocalalengelwa cishi capanshi mpaka lelo, kayi nteti akabonekepo sobwe.
22 And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
Nomba masubayo nalabula kufumfwipishiwa, nshinga ne palakabulu muntu nabaumo shikupuluka. Nsombi Lesa nakafumfwipishiwe masubayo pacebo cabantu mbwalasala.”
23 Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him.
“Cindico na muntu akamwambileti, ‘Klistu ulikuno!’ Nambi ‘uli uko!’ Kamutakamushoma sobwe.
24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
Pakwinga nikukaboneke baklistu ne bashinshimi bangi bandemishibili, beti bakambengeti, Kamubonani ‘Njame Klistu,’ Nambi kwambeti ‘njame mushinshimi,’ Abo bantu nibakensenga bintu byangofu, bishikukankamanisha, kwambeti babepe uliyense na kacikonsheka nambi basalwa ba Lesa.”
25 Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
Kamunyumfwani, ame ndamwambilili limo.
26 If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not.
“Ecebo cakendi, bantu bakamwambilangeti, ‘Kamubonani Klistu ulikucinyika,’ Kamutakayako sobwe, nambi bakambeti, ‘uli mu ng'anda,’ Kamutakashoma sobwe.
27 For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Kwisa kwa Mwana Muntu nikukabeti kubyasha kwa lulabo ulo lukute kubyasha kufuma kucwe mpaka ku mbonshi.”
28 Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
Walambeti, “kulikonse kuli mutunta wanyama yafwa, makubi nkwakute kubungana.”
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
“Panyuma pakendi mapensho akapwa mu masubayo, lisuba nilikashipe mbi, nawo mwenshi nukacileke kubala, nyenyenshi nishikalake kufuma ku makumbi, kayi ngofu sha mu mulengalenga nishikatenkane.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
Popelapo citondesho cakwisa kwa Mwana Muntu, nicikaboneke kwilu. Bantu bapacishi capanshi pano, ni bakatatike kulila, nibakabone Mwana Muntu kesa mu makumbi akwilu ne ngofu ne bulemeneno buyosha.
31 And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
Tolompita yangofu nikalile, popelapo nendi nakatume bangelo bakendi ku mbasu shonse shapacishi capanshi, kuya kubunganya basalwa bakendi. Kufuma kumapwililisho acishi, kushika kumapwililisho acishi.”
32 And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
“Kamulangani kucitondo ca mukuyu kwambeti mwiyeko ciyo. Mwabona misampi yakendi ne matewu atatika kusonsa, mukute kwinshibeti, mainsa alipepi.
33 So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Ne njamwe mwakatatika kubona bintu ibi mbyondambanga, mukenshibeti Mwana Muntu ulipepi, cakubinga uli pa cishinga.
34 Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Kamwinshibani kwambeti bintu ibi nibikenshike bantu bamusemano uno kabata bapwa bonse.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
Kwilu ne cishi capanshi nibikapwe, nomba maswi akame nteti akapwe.”
36 But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.
“Nambi kubeconi, paliya ubwishi busuba ne cindi, nambi bangelo bakwilu nkabacishipo, ne njame Ndemwana nkandicishipo sowe, nsombi Bata bonka ebaci shi.
37 And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Kwisa kwa Mwana Muntu nikukabeti ncokwalikuba mucindi ca Nowa.
38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark,
Mu masubayo, muyoba wa mfula ya cilobe kautana ushika, bantu balikulya ne kunwa, bali kweba ne kwebwa, mpaka busuba mbwalengila Nowa mubwato.
39 And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Paliya ncobalikwinshiba sobwe, mpaka muyoba wamfula yacilobe yalesa kubashina bonse. Encoti cikabe pakwisa kwa Mwana Muntu.
40 Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
Pacindi copeleco bantu babili nibakacanike mulibala, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
Batukashi babili nibakacanike kabapela bunga ne mwampelo, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.”
42 Watch ye therefore, because ye know not what hour your Lord will come.
“Ne njamwe kamubani mwalibambila cindi conse, pakwinga nkamubwinshipo busuba mboti akese Mwami wenu.
43 But know this ye, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
Nomba kamwishibaneti, mwine ng'anda nakute kwinshiba kwambeti nicindi cini camashiku ncalesanga kabwalala, nshinga nakute kalebe, kwambeti kabwalala katesa aibe mung'anda.
44 Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
Neco, kamubani balibambila, pakwinga Mwana Muntu nakese pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
45 Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season.
“Inga niyani, musebenshi washomwa, kayi ukute mano? Uyo ngwalapa ncito Mwami wakendi yakwendelesha cena, ne kubapa cakulya basebenshi banendi pacindi celela?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.
Walelekwa musebeshuyo, na kamucane Mwami wakendi kasebensa cena.
47 Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, Mwami wakendi nakamupe ncito yakwendelesha byonse bintu mbyakute.”
48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:
“Nsombi na ni musebenshi waipa, nendi nakayeyeti, ‘Mwami wakame lacelwa cindi citali’
49 And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:
Neco nakatatike kubauma basebenshi banendi, kulya ne kunwa pamo ne bacakolwa.
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knoweth not:
Pabusuba ne cindi ncabula kwingashila, Mwami wakendi nakashike sokoloku!
51 And shall separate him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Neco Mwami wakendi na kamutimbaule, ne kumuwala uko kuli bantu bandemi shibili. Kopeloko eti kubenga kulila ne kukokota meno.”
