Mark 13
1 AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what 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 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
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 sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Yesu alipokuwa ameketi kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni mkabala na Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohana na Andrea wakamuuliza faraghani,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
“Tafadhali tuambie, mambo haya yatatukia lini? Nayo dalili ya kuwa hayo yote yanakaribia kutimia itakuwa gani?”
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Yesu akawaambia: “Jihadharini mtu yeyote asiwadanganye.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Wengi watakuja kwa Jina langu wakidai, ‘Mimi ndiye,’ nao watawadanganya wengi.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs 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 kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
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 heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against 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 shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, 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 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
“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 name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Watu wote watawachukia kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Lakini yule atakayevumilia hadi mwisho ataokolewa.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand, ) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains:
“Mtakapoona ‘chukizo la uharibifu’ limesimama mahali pasipolipasa (asomaye na afahamu), basi wale walioko Uyahudi wakimbilie milimani.
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take 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 field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
Aliye shambani asirudi nyumbani kuchukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Ole wao wenye mimba na wale wanaonyonyesha watoto siku hizo!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Ombeni mambo haya yasitokee wakati wa baridi.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
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 days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Kama Bwana asingelifupisha siku hizo, kamwe asingeliokoka mtu yeyote. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule, wale aliowachagua, amezifupisha siku hizo.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Wakati huo mtu yeyote akiwaambia, ‘Tazama, Kristohuyu hapa!’ au, ‘Tazama, yuko kule,’ msisadiki.
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the 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 heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Hivyo jihadharini. Nimekwisha kuwaambia mambo haya yote mapema kabla hayajatukia.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
“Lakini katika siku hizo, baada ya hiyo dhiki, “‘jua litatiwa giza nao mwezi hautatoa nuru yake;
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
nazo nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za anga zitatikisika.’
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
“Ndipo watu wote watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija mawinguni kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Naye atawatuma malaika wake wawakusanye wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka miisho ya dunia hadi miisho ya mbingu.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
“Basi jifunzeni somo hili kutokana na mtini: Matawi yake yanapoanza kuchipua na kutoa majani, mnatambua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Vivyo hivyo, myaonapo mambo haya yakitukia, mnatambua kwamba wakati u karibu, hata malangoni.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Amin, nawaambia, kizazi hiki hakitapita hadi mambo haya yote yawe yametimia.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Mbingu na nchi zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, 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 ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Jihadharini! Kesheni! Kwa maana hamjui wakati ule utakapowadia.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded 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 when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
“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 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Kama akija ghafula, asije akawakuta mmelala.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Lile ninalowaambia ninyi, nawaambia watu wote: ‘Kesheni!’”
