Mark 13
1 And as he went out of the Temple, one of his disciples said vnto him, Master, see what maner stones, and what maner buildings are here.
Yesu alipokuwa akitoka Hekaluni, mmojawapo wa wanafunzi wake akamwambia, “Mwalimu! Tazama jinsi mawe haya yalivyo makubwa, na majengo haya yalivyo mazuri!”
2 Then Iesus answered and saide vnto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.
Ndipo Yesu akajibu akasema, “Je, unayaona majengo haya yalivyo makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalobaki juu ya jingine, bali yote yatabomolewa.”
3 And as he sate on the mount of Oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly,
Yesu alipokuwa ameketi kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni mkabala na Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohana na Andrea wakamuuliza faraghani,
4 Tell vs, when shall these things be? and what shalbe the signe when all these things shalbe fulfilled?
“Tafadhali tuambie, mambo haya yatatukia lini? Nayo dalili ya kuwa hayo yote yanakaribia kutimia itakuwa gani?”
5 And Iesus answered them, and began to say, Take heede lest any man deceiue you.
Yesu akawaambia: “Jihadharini mtu yeyote asiwadanganye.
6 For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.
Wengi watakuja kwa Jina langu wakidai, ‘Mimi ndiye,’ nao watawadanganya wengi.
7 Furthermore when ye shall heare, of warres, and rumours of warres, be ye not troubled: for such things must needes be: but the end shall not be yet.
Msikiapo habari za vita na uvumi wa vita, msiwe na hofu. Mambo haya hayana budi kutukia, lakini ule mwisho bado.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, and there shalbe earthquakes in diuers quarters, and there shalbe famine and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorowes.
Taifa litainuka dhidi ya taifa na ufalme dhidi ya ufalme. Kutakuwa na mitetemeko sehemu mbalimbali na njaa. Haya yatakuwa ndio mwanzo wa utungu.
9 But take ye heede to your selues: for they shall deliuer you vp to the Councils, and to the Synagogues: ye shalbe beaten, and brought before rulers and Kings for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them.
“Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Kwa maana watawapeleka katika mabaraza yao na kupigwa mijeledi katika masinagogi. Mtashtakiwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa ajili yangu, ili kuwa ushuhuda kwao.
10 And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.
Nayo habari njema lazima ihubiriwe kwanza kwa mataifa yote kabla ule mwisho haujawadia.
11 But when they leade you, and deliuer you vp, be not carefull before hand, neither studie what ye shall say: but what is giuen you at the same time, that speake: for it is not ye that speake, but the holy Ghost.
Mtakapokamatwa na kushtakiwa, msisumbuke awali kuhusu mtakalosema. Semeni tu lolote mtakalopewa wakati huo, kwa kuwa si ninyi mtakaokuwa mkinena, bali ni Roho Mtakatifu.
12 Yea, and the brother shall deliuer the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.
“Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake ili auawe, naye baba atamsaliti mtoto wake. Watoto nao wataasi dhidi ya wazazi wao na kusababisha wauawe.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but whosoeuer shall endure vnto the end, he shalbe saued.
Watu wote watawachukia kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Lakini yule atakayevumilia hadi mwisho ataokolewa.
14 Moreouer, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set where it ought not, (let him that readeth, consider it) then let them that be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines,
“Mtakapoona ‘chukizo la uharibifu’ limesimama mahali pasipolipasa (asomaye na afahamu), basi wale walioko Uyahudi wakimbilie milimani.
15 And let him that is vpon the house, not come downe into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch any thing out of his house.
Yeyote aliye juu ya dari ya nyumba asishuke au kuingia ndani ili kuchukua chochote.
16 And let him that is in the fielde, not turne backe againe to take his garment.
Aliye shambani asirudi nyumbani kuchukua vazi lake.
17 Then wo shalbe to the that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
Ole wao wenye mimba na wale wanaonyonyesha watoto siku hizo!
18 Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter.
Ombeni mambo haya yasitokee wakati wa baridi.
19 For those dayes shalbe such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of ye creation which God created vnto this time, neither shalbe.
Kwa maana siku hizo zitakuwa za dhiki kuu ambayo haijapata kuwako tangu mwanzo, hapo Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu, mpaka leo, na wala haitakuwako tena kamwe.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those dayes, no flesh shoulde be saued: but for the elects sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes.
Kama Bwana asingelifupisha siku hizo, kamwe asingeliokoka mtu yeyote. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule, wale aliowachagua, amezifupisha siku hizo.
21 Then if any man say to you, Loe, here is Christ, or, lo, he is there, beleeue it not.
Wakati huo mtu yeyote akiwaambia, ‘Tazama, Kristohuyu hapa!’ au, ‘Tazama, yuko kule,’ msisadiki.
22 For false Christes shall rise, and false prophets, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceiue if it were possible the very elect.
Kwa maana watatokea makristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo, nao watafanya ishara na maajabu ili kuwapotosha, ikiwezekana, hata wale wateule.
23 But take ye heede: beholde, I haue shewed you all things before.
Hivyo jihadharini. Nimekwisha kuwaambia mambo haya yote mapema kabla hayajatukia.
24 Moreouer in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and ye moone shall not giue her light,
“Lakini katika siku hizo, baada ya hiyo dhiki, “‘jua litatiwa giza nao mwezi hautatoa nuru yake;
25 And the starres of heauen shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shall shake.
nazo nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za anga zitatikisika.’
26 And then shall they see the Sonne of man comming in ye cloudes, with great power and glory.
“Ndipo watu wote watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija mawinguni kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 And he shall then send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the foure windes, and from the vtmost part of the earth to the vtmost part of heauen.
Naye atawatuma malaika wake wawakusanye wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka miisho ya dunia hadi miisho ya mbingu.
28 Nowe learne a parable of the figge tree. When her bough is yet tender, and it bringeth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere.
“Basi jifunzeni somo hili kutokana na mtini: Matawi yake yanapoanza kuchipua na kutoa majani, mnatambua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29 So in like maner, when ye see these things come to passe, knowe that the kingdom of God is neere, euen at the doores.
Vivyo hivyo, myaonapo mambo haya yakitukia, mnatambua kwamba wakati u karibu, hata malangoni.
30 Verely I say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done.
Amin, nawaambia, kizazi hiki hakitapita hadi mambo haya yote yawe yametimia.
31 Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my woordes shall not passe away.
Mbingu na nchi zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no, not the Angels which are in heauen, neither the Sonne himselfe, but the Father.
“Kwa habari ya siku ile na saa hakuna yeyote ajuaye, hata malaika walio mbinguni wala Mwana, ila Baba peke yake.
33 Take heede: watch, and praie: for yee knowe not when the time is.
Jihadharini! Kesheni! Kwa maana hamjui wakati ule utakapowadia.
34 For the Sonne of man is as a man going into a strange countrey, and leaueth his house, and giueth authoritie to his seruaunts, and to euery man his woorke, and commandeth the porter to watch.
Ni kama mtu anayesafiri. Anaiacha nyumba yake na kuwaachia watumishi wake kuiangalia, kila mtu na kazi yake, kisha akamwamuru yule bawabu aliye mlangoni akeshe.
35 Watch ye therefore, (for ye know not whe ye master of the house will come, at eue, or at midnight, at the cocke crowing, or in the dawning, )
“Basi kesheni kwa sababu hamjui ni lini mwenye nyumba atakaporudi: iwapo ni jioni, au ni usiku wa manane, au alfajiri awikapo jogoo, au mapambazuko.
36 Least if he come suddenly, he should finde you sleeping.
Kama akija ghafula, asije akawakuta mmelala.
37 And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.
Lile ninalowaambia ninyi, nawaambia watu wote: ‘Kesheni!’”
