Matthew 24
1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and His disciples came near to show 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 Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly I say to you, there may not be left here a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
Nomba Yesu walabambileti, “Ee mulabono ibi byonse, nomba cakubinga ndamwambilingeti, paliya libwe lyeti likashale palibwe linendi, lyeti likabule kupwayaulwa.”
3 And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?” (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 one may lead you astray,
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cenjelani, kamutakabepwa ne muntu uliyense sobwe.
5 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray,
Bantu bangi nibakese mulina lyakame! Kabambeti, ‘Klistu usa njame,’ Nibakabepe bantu bangi.
6 and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to 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 will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places;
“Pakwinga mishobo ya bantu nikabukilane, nabo bwami nibikalwanenga ne bwami. Nikukabe nsala, ne bikunkumo bishikutenkanya inshi mu misena ingi,
8 and all these [are the] beginning of travails;
Nomba ibi byonse nicitatikowa ca mapensho.”
9 then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My Name;
“Bantu nibakamusunge ne kumupensha kayi ne kumushina. Bantu bamishobo yonse nibakamupele pacebo ca Lina lyakame.
10 and then will many be stumbled, and they will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Bantu bangi pacindico nibakaleke kushoma, nibakatatike kupelana ne kulishana pamukowa wabo bene.
11 And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray;
Nikukaboneke bashinshimi bandemishibili beti bakabepe bantu bangi.
12 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold;
Pacebo cakufula kwabintu byaipa, lusuno lwabantu bangi nilukacepe.
13 but he who endured to the end, he will be saved;
Nsombi uyo eshakalimbikile mpaka kumapwililisho, endiyeti akapuluke.
14 and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.
Nomba Mulumbe Waina uwu wa Bwami bwa Lesa nukakambaukwe pacishi capanshi conse, kwambeti, ube bukamboni kubantu ba mishobo yonse, popelapo mapwililisho nakashike.”
15 Whenever, therefore, you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
“Mwakabona cintu cishikusesemya cishikononga, calambwa ne Danyele mushinshimi, balacimaniki pa musena waswepa.” Obe ulabelengenga unyumfwishishe cena.
16 then those in Judea—let them flee to the mountains;
Abo bali mu Yudeya bela kufwambila kumilundu.
17 he on the housetop—do not let him come down to take up anything out of his house;
Uyo uli pelu pa ng'anda yakendi kataseluka kuya kwingila mu ng'anda eti amantemo bibya byakendi.
18 and he in the field—do not let him turn back to take his garments.
Uyo uli kumabala, kataya kumunshi kuya kumanta cakufwala cakunsa.
19 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
“Malele ku batukashi beti bakabenga ne mabunda, kayi ne batukashi beti bakayamwishenga bana mumasubayo.
20 and pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
Pailani kwambeti cindi cakufwamba kacitakaba cindi camupewo, nambi pa busuba bwa Sabata sobwe.
21 for there will then be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor may be.
Pakwinga mapensho ayosha eti akaboneke mu masubayo, nkanabonekapo kufuma mpocalalengelwa cishi capanshi mpaka lelo, kayi nteti akabonekepo sobwe.
22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen will those days be shortened.
Nomba masubayo nalabula kufumfwipishiwa, nshinga ne palakabulu muntu nabaumo shikupuluka. Nsombi Lesa nakafumfwipishiwe masubayo pacebo cabantu mbwalasala.”
23 Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;
“Cindico na muntu akamwambileti, ‘Klistu ulikuno!’ Nambi ‘uli uko!’ Kamutakamushoma sobwe.
24 for there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
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 told you beforehand.
Kamunyumfwani, ame ndamwambilili limo.
26 If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness, you may not go forth; Behold, in the inner chambers, you may not believe;
“Ecebo cakendi, bantu bakamwambilangeti, ‘Kamubonani Klistu ulikucinyika,’ Kamutakayako sobwe, nambi bakambeti, ‘uli mu ng'anda,’ Kamutakashoma sobwe.
27 for as the lightning comes forth from the east, and appears to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
Kwisa kwa Mwana Muntu nikukabeti kubyasha kwa lulabo ulo lukute kubyasha kufuma kucwe mpaka ku mbonshi.”
28 for wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together.
Walambeti, “kulikonse kuli mutunta wanyama yafwa, makubi nkwakute kubungana.”
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
“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 will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the tribes of the earth strike the breast, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven, with power and much glory;
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 will send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof.
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 the allegory: when its branch may have already become tender, and it may put forth the leaves, you know that summer [is] near,
“Kamulangani kucitondo ca mukuyu kwambeti mwiyeko ciyo. Mwabona misampi yakendi ne matewu atatika kusonsa, mukute kwinshibeti, mainsa alipepi.
33 so also you, when you may see all these, you know that it is near—at the doors.
Ne njamwe mwakatatika kubona bintu ibi mbyondambanga, mukenshibeti Mwana Muntu ulipepi, cakubinga uli pa cishinga.
34 Truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all these may come to pass.
Kamwinshibani kwambeti bintu ibi nibikenshike bantu bamusemano uno kabata bapwa bonse.
35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Kwilu ne cishi capanshi nibikapwe, nomba maswi akame nteti akapwe.”
36 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except My Father only;
“Nambi kubeconi, paliya ubwishi busuba ne cindi, nambi bangelo bakwilu nkabacishipo, ne njame Ndemwana nkandicishipo sowe, nsombi Bata bonka ebaci shi.
37 and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
Kwisa kwa Mwana Muntu nikukabeti ncokwalikuba mucindi ca Nowa.
38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah 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 did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.
Paliya ncobalikwinshiba sobwe, mpaka muyoba wamfula yacilobe yalesa kubashina bonse. Encoti cikabe pakwisa kwa Mwana Muntu.
40 Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left;
Pacindi copeleco bantu babili nibakacanike mulibala, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.
41 two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.
Batukashi babili nibakacanike kabapela bunga ne mwampelo, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.”
42 Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes;
“Ne njamwe kamubani mwalibambila cindi conse, pakwinga nkamubwinshipo busuba mboti akese Mwami wenu.
43 and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;
Nomba kamwishibaneti, mwine ng'anda nakute kwinshiba kwambeti nicindi cini camashiku ncalesanga kabwalala, nshinga nakute kalebe, kwambeti kabwalala katesa aibe mung'anda.
44 because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.
Neco, kamubani balibambila, pakwinga Mwana Muntu nakese pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
45 Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment 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 that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
Walelekwa musebeshuyo, na kamucane Mwami wakendi kasebensa cena.
47 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his substance.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, Mwami wakendi nakamupe ncito yakwendelesha byonse bintu mbyakute.”
48 And if that evil servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
“Nsombi na ni musebenshi waipa, nendi nakayeyeti, ‘Mwami wakame lacelwa cindi citali’
49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,
Neco nakatatike kubauma basebenshi banendi, kulya ne kunwa pamo ne bacakolwa.
50 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour of which he does not know,
Pabusuba ne cindi ncabula kwingashila, Mwami wakendi nakashike sokoloku!
51 and will cut him off, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
Neco Mwami wakendi na kamutimbaule, ne kumuwala uko kuli bantu bandemi shibili. Kopeloko eti kubenga kulila ne kukokota meno.”
