Mark 13
1 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings."
Yesu alipokuwa akitembea kutoka hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake akamwuliza, “Mwalimu, tazama mawe haya yakushangaza na majengo!”
2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."
Akamwambia, Unaona majengo haya makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalo salia juu ya jingine ambalo halitaangushwa chini”.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
Naye alipokuwa amekaa juu ya Mlima wa Mizeituni nyuma ya hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohana na Andrea wakamwuliza kwa siri,
4 "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"
“Tuambie, mambo haya yatakuwa lini? Ni nini dalili ya mambo haya kutokea?”
5 And Jesus began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Yesu alianza kuwaambia, “Kuweni makini kwamba mtu yoyote asiwapotoshe.
6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he.' and will lead many astray.
Wengi watakuja kwa jina langu wakisema, 'Mimi ndiye', na watawapotosha wengi.
7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but the end is not yet.
Mtakaposikia vita na tetesi za vita, msiogope; mambo haya hayana budi kutokea, lakini mwisho bado.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
Taifa litainuka kinyume na taifa jingine, na ufalme kinyume na ufalme. Patakuwa na matetemeko sehemu mbalimbali, na njaa. Huu ni mwanzo wa utungu.
9 But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.
Iweni macho. Watawapeleka hadi mabarazani, na mtapingwa katika masinagogi. Mtasimamishwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa ajili yangu, kama ushuhuda kwao.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
Lakini injili lazima kwanza ihubiriwe kwa mataifa yote.
11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
Watakapo wakamata na kuwakabidhi, msiogope kuhusu kile mtakachosema. Ndani ya muda huo, mtapewa nini cha kusema; hamtakuwa ninyi mtakaoongea, bali Roho Mtakatifu.
12 "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Ndugu atamshitaki ndugu kuuawa, baba na mtoto wake. Watoto watasimama kinyume cha baba zao na kuwasababisha kuuawa.
13 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Mtachukiwa na kila mtu kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, mtu huyo ataokoka.
14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
Mtakapoona chukizo la uharibifu limesimama pale lisipotakiwa kusimama (asomaye na afahamu), ndipo walioko ndani ya Yuda wakimbilie milimani,
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
naye aliyeko juu ya nyumba asishuke chini ya nyumba, au kuchukua chochote kilichoko nje,
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
na aliyeko shambani asirudi kuchukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days.
Lakini ole wao wanawake wenye mimba na wanyonyeshao katika siku hizo!
18 And pray that it won't be in the winter.
Ombeni kwamba isitokee wakati wa baridi.
19 For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
Kwani patakuwa na mateso makubwa, ambayo hayajawahi kutokea, tangu Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu, mpaka sasa, hapana, wala haitatokea tena.
20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
Mpaka Bwana atakapopunguza siku, hakuna mwili utakaookoka, lakini kwa ajili ya wateule, atakaowachagua, atapunguza namba za siku.
21 Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ.' or, 'Look, there.' do not believe it.
Wakati huo kama mtu yeyote atawaambia, Tazama, Kristo yuko hapa!' au 'Tazama, yuko pale!' msiamini.
22 For there will arise false messiahs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones.
Kwani Wakristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo watatokea na watatoa ishara na maajabu, ili kwamba, wawadanganye, yamkini hata wateule.
23 But you watch. "I have told you all things beforehand.
Iweni macho! Nimekwisha wambia haya yote kabla ya wakati.
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
Lakini baada ya mateso ya siku hizo, jua litatiwa giza, mwezi hautatoa mwanga wake,
25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu zilizoko mbinguni zitatikisika.
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Ndipo watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija mawinguni kwa nguvu kubwa na utukufu.
27 Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of the sky.
Ndipo atatuma malaika zake na atawakusanya pamoja wateule wake kutoka pande kuu nne za dunia, kutoka mwisho wa dunia mpaka mwisho wa mbingu.
28 "Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
Kwa mtini jifunzeni. Kama tawi liwezavyo kutoa na kuweka haraka majani yake, ndipo mtajua kwamba kiangazi kiko karibu.
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
Ndivyo ilivyo, mtakapoona mambo haya yakitokea, jueni kwamba yuko karibu, na malango.
30 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
Kweli, nawambieni, hiki kizazi hakitapita mbali kabla mambo haya hayajatokea.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Mbingu na nchi zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day or the hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Lakini kuhusu siku hiyo au saa, hakuna ajuaye, hata malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana, ila Baba.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
Iweni macho, Tazama, kwa sababu hamjui ni muda gani yatatokea. (Zingatia: Mstari huu, “Muwe waangalifu, Tazameni na ombeni kwa sababu...” haumo kwenye nakala za kale).
34 "It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
Ni kama mtu anayeenda safarini: akaacha nyumba yake, na kumweka mtumwa wake kuwa mtawala wa nyumba, kila mmoja na kazi yake. Na kumwamuru mlinzi kukaa macho.
35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the lord of the house is coming —at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
Kwa hiyo iweni macho! Kwani hamjui ni lini bwana wa nyumba atakaporudi nyumbani, yawezekana ni jioni, usiku wa manane, wakati jogoo atakapowika, au asubuhi.
36 lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
Kama akija ghafla, asikukute umelala.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
Kile nikisemacho kwako nakisema kwa kila mtu: Kesheni”!
