Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him 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 But answering, he said to them, "Do you not see all of these things? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, 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 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the 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 Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Cenjelani, kamutakabepwa ne muntu uliyense sobwe.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
Bantu bangi nibakese mulina lyakame! Kabambeti, ‘Klistu usa njame,’ Nibakabepe bantu bangi.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, 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 plagues 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 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Nomba ibi byonse nicitatikowa ca mapensho.”
9 Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
“Bantu nibakamusunge ne kumupensha kayi ne kumushina. Bantu bamishobo yonse nibakamupele pacebo ca Lina lyakame.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Bantu bangi pacindico nibakaleke kushoma, nibakatatike kupelana ne kulishana pamukowa wabo bene.
11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
Nikukaboneke bashinshimi bandemishibili beti bakabepe bantu bangi.
12 And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
Pacebo cakufula kwabintu byaipa, lusuno lwabantu bangi nilukacepe.
13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
Nsombi uyo eshakalimbikile mpaka kumapwililisho, endiyeti akapuluke.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will 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 see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
“Mwakabona cintu cishikusesemya cishikononga, calambwa ne Danyele mushinshimi, balacimaniki pa musena waswepa.” Obe ulabelengenga unyumfwishishe cena.
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Abo bali mu Yudeya bela kufwambila kumilundu.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
Uyo uli pelu pa ng'anda yakendi kataseluka kuya kwingila mu ng'anda eti amantemo bibya byakendi.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
Uyo uli kumabala, kataya kumunshi kuya kumanta cakufwala cakunsa.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.
“Malele ku batukashi beti bakabenga ne mabunda, kayi ne batukashi beti bakayamwishenga bana mumasubayo.
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
Pailani kwambeti cindi cakufwamba kacitakaba cindi camupewo, nambi pa busuba bwa Sabata sobwe.
21 for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Pakwinga mapensho ayosha eti akaboneke mu masubayo, nkanabonekapo kufuma mpocalalengelwa cishi capanshi mpaka lelo, kayi nteti akabonekepo sobwe.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
Nomba masubayo nalabula kufumfwipishiwa, nshinga ne palakabulu muntu nabaumo shikupuluka. Nsombi Lesa nakafumfwipishiwe masubayo pacebo cabantu mbwalasala.”
23 "Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.
“Cindico na muntu akamwambileti, ‘Klistu ulikuno!’ Nambi ‘uli uko!’ Kamutakamushoma sobwe.
24 For there will arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
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 "See, I have told you beforehand.
Kamunyumfwani, ame ndamwambilili limo.
26 If therefore they tell you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.
“Ecebo cakendi, bantu bakamwambilangeti, ‘Kamubonani Klistu ulikucinyika,’ Kamutakayako sobwe, nambi bakambeti, ‘uli mu ng'anda,’ Kamutakashoma sobwe.
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will 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 Wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.
Walambeti, “kulikonse kuli mutunta wanyama yafwa, makubi nkwakute kubungana.”
29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, 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 the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great 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 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Tolompita yangofu nikalile, popelapo nendi nakatume bangelo bakendi ku mbasu shonse shapacishi capanshi, kuya kubunganya basalwa bakendi. Kufuma kumapwililisho acishi, kushika kumapwililisho acishi.”
32 "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
“Kamulangani kucitondo ca mukuyu kwambeti mwiyeko ciyo. Mwabona misampi yakendi ne matewu atatika kusonsa, mukute kwinshibeti, mainsa alipepi.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Ne njamwe mwakatatika kubona bintu ibi mbyondambanga, mukenshibeti Mwana Muntu ulipepi, cakubinga uli pa cishinga.
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
Kamwinshibani kwambeti bintu ibi nibikenshike bantu bamusemano uno kabata bapwa bonse.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Kwilu ne cishi capanshi nibikapwe, nomba maswi akame nteti akapwe.”
36 But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but 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 "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Kwisa kwa Mwana Muntu nikukabeti ncokwalikuba mucindi ca Nowa.
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship,
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 them all away, so will 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 will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
Pacindi copeleco bantu babili nibakacanike mulibala, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.
41 Two will be grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Batukashi babili nibakacanike kabapela bunga ne mwampelo, umo nakamantwe, naumbi nakashale.”
42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
“Ne njamwe kamubani mwalibambila cindi conse, pakwinga nkamubwinshipo busuba mboti akese Mwami wenu.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Nomba kamwishibaneti, mwine ng'anda nakute kwinshiba kwambeti nicindi cini camashiku ncalesanga kabwalala, nshinga nakute kalebe, kwambeti kabwalala katesa aibe mung'anda.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
Neco, kamubani balibambila, pakwinga Mwana Muntu nakese pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due 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 his lord finds doing so when he comes.
Walelekwa musebeshuyo, na kamucane Mwami wakendi kasebensa cena.
47 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, Mwami wakendi nakamupe ncito yakwendelesha byonse bintu mbyakute.”
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'
“Nsombi na ni musebenshi waipa, nendi nakayeyeti, ‘Mwami wakame lacelwa cindi citali’
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
Neco nakatatike kubauma basebenshi banendi, kulya ne kunwa pamo ne bacakolwa.
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour when he does not know it,
Pabusuba ne cindi ncabula kwingashila, Mwami wakendi nakashike sokoloku!
51 and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
Neco Mwami wakendi na kamutimbaule, ne kumuwala uko kuli bantu bandemi shibili. Kopeloko eti kubenga kulila ne kukokota meno.”
