< Matthew 24 >
1 And, Jesus coming forth, from the temple, was taking his departure, when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
Nake Jesũ akiuma hekarũ, na rĩrĩa aathiiaga arutwo ake magĩũka kũrĩ we nĩguo mamuonie mĩako ya hekarũ.
2 But, he, answering, said unto them—Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you—in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.
Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkuona indo ici ciothe? Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, gũtirĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩa maya rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
3 And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying—Tell us, when these things shall be, —and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age. (aiōn )
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aikarĩte thĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, arutwo ake magĩũka harĩ we hatarĩ andũ angĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mageekĩka rĩ, na kĩmenyithia gĩa gũcooka gwaku na kĩa mũthia wa mahinda maya nĩ kĩrĩkũ?” (aiōn )
4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you;
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio nĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
5 For, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am the Christ, —and will, deceive many.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmagooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Kristũ,’ na nĩ makaheenia andũ aingĩ.
6 Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen, —but, not yet, is, the end;
Nĩmũkaigua ũhoro wa mbaara, na mũhuhu ũkoniĩ mbaara, no inyuĩ mũtikanamake. Maũndũ ta macio no nginya mageekĩka, no ithirĩro ti rĩkinyu.
7 For there will arise—nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, —and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.
Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nĩgũkaagĩa ngʼaragu na ithingithia kũndũ na kũndũ.
8 But, all these things, are a beginning of birth-pangs.
Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ kĩambĩrĩria kĩa ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo agĩe mwana.
9 Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you, —and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name
“Ningĩ nĩmũkaneanwo mũnyariirwo na mũũragwo, na mũmenwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
10 And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩmagatiganĩria wĩtĩkio na makunyananĩre mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, na mamenane.
11 And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many;
Na anabii aingĩ a maheeni nĩmakoimĩra na nĩmakaheenia andũ aingĩ.
12 And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold.
Na tondũ waganu nĩũkaingĩha mũno-rĩ, wendani wa andũ aingĩ nĩũkanyiiha,
13 But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.
no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya ithirĩro-rĩ, ũcio nĩakahonoka.
14 And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations, —and, then, will have come, the end.
Naguo Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega wa ũthamaki nĩũkahunjio thĩ yothe ũtuĩke ũira kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na thuutha ũcio ithirĩro rĩkinye.
15 Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, —he that readeth, let him think,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa mũkoona ‘kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu na gĩa kũrehe ihooru’ kĩrũgamĩte Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, o kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Danieli (ũrĩa ũrathoma nĩamenye ũhoro ũcio),
16 Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;
hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmorĩre irĩma-inĩ.
17 And, he that is on the house-top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house;
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ nyũmba yake igũrũ ndakaharũrũke atĩ akarute kĩndũ kuuma nyũmba yake.
18 And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle.
Nake ũrĩa wĩ mũgũnda ndagacooke mũciĩ kũgĩĩra nguo ciake.
19 But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days;
Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo na nda na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmagakorwo na thĩĩna-ĩ!
20 But be praying that your flight, may not happen in winter, nor on sabbath;
Hooyai nĩguo gwĩthara kwanyu gũtikanakorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ ya heho kana mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
21 For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.
Nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩgũkagĩa na mĩnyamaro mĩnene, ĩtarĩ yoneka kuuma kĩambĩrĩria gĩa thĩ nginya rĩu, na ĩtakooneka rĩngĩ.
22 And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.
Na tiga matukũ macio makuhĩhirio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩkaahonoka, no nĩ tondũ wa andũ arĩa aamũre, matukũ macio nĩmagakuhĩhio.
23 Then, if any, unto you, say—Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ na haha!’ kana, ‘Arĩ harĩa!’ Mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
24 For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets, —and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived: —
Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ a maheeni na anabii a maheeni nĩmakeyumĩria monanie morirũ manene na maringe ciama, nĩguo maheenie o na arĩa aamũre, korwo no kũhoteke.
25 Lo! I have foretold you.
Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ ndaamũmenyithia ũhoro ũcio mbere ya hĩndĩ ĩyo.
26 If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ werũ-inĩ,’ mũtikanathiĩ kuo; kana angĩmwĩra, ‘Arĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ,’ mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
27 For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa rũheni ruumĩte irathĩro ruonekaga ithũĩro-rĩ, ũguo noguo gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ gũgaakorwo kũhaana.
28 Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures!
Harĩa hothe harĩ kĩimba, hau nĩho nderi ciũnganaga.
29 But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven, —and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken;
“Na rĩrĩ, o rĩmwe thuutha wa mĩnyamaro ya matukũ macio, “‘riũa nĩrĩkagĩa nduma, naguo mweri ũtige kwara; nacio njata nĩikaagũa kuuma igũrũ, namo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.’
30 And, then, will be displayed—The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts—all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man—coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩmenyithia kĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩgĩkooneka kũu igũrũ, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩigacakaya. Nĩikoona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu, na arĩ na hinya na riiri mũingĩ.
31 And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen—Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.
Nake nĩagatũma araika ake na mũgambo mũnene wa karumbeta, nao nĩmakoongania arĩa ake aamũre moimĩte mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe kĩa igũrũ nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
32 Now, from the fig-tree, learn ye, the parable: —When, already, her young branch, becometh tender, and the leaves, may be sprouting, ye observe, that, near, is, the summer:
“Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrutei na mũkũyũ: Rĩrĩa honge ciaguo ciarĩkia gũthundũka na ciaruta mathangũ-rĩ, nĩmũmenyaga atĩ hĩndĩ ya riũa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
33 Thus, ye also, when ye shall see all these things, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
Ũguo noguo rĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio mothe, mũkaamenya atĩ ihinda rĩrĩ hakuhĩ, rĩrĩ o ta mũrango-inĩ.
34 Verily, I say unto you—In nowise, shall this generation, pass away, until all these things, shall happen:
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigaathira nginya maũndũ macio mothe mahinge.
35 The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall, in nowise, pass away.
Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
36 But, concerning that day and hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son, —save the Father only.
“Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ ũhoro wa mũthenya ũcio kana ithaa rĩu, o na araika a igũrũ matiũĩ, o na Mũriũ ndooĩ, tiga no Ithe wiki.
37 For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;
O ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Nuhu, noguo gũkahaana hĩndĩ ya gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
38 For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, —until the day Noah entered into the ark;
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ marĩa maarĩ mbere ya kĩguũ, andũ nĩmarĩĩaga na makanyua, na nĩmahikanagia na makahika, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa Nuhu aatoonyire thabina;
39 And they observed not, until the flood came and took away all together, so, will be, the presence of the Son of Man.
nao matiamenyire nginya rĩrĩa kĩguũ gĩokire, gĩkĩmaniina othe. Ũguo noguo gũkahaana hĩndĩ ya gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
40 Then, shall there be two men in the field, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arũme eerĩ magaakorwo marĩ mũgũnda; ũmwe nĩakoywo na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
41 Two women grinding at the mill, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind.
Andũ-a-nja eerĩ magaakorwo magĩthĩa hamwe; ũmwe nĩakoywo na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
42 Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, on what manner of day, your Lord is coming.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte, tondũ mũtiũĩ mũthenya ũrĩa Mwathani wanyu agooka.
43 But there is, one thing, ye know—That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
No menyai atĩrĩ, korwo mwene nyũmba nĩamenyete thaa cia ũtukũ iria mũici angĩũka, angĩaikarire eiguĩte, nyũmba yake ĩtuuo.
44 Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na inyuĩ no nginya mũikarage mwĩhaarĩirie, tondũ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agooka ithaa rĩrĩa mũtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master hath appointed over his household, to give them food in season?
“Ningĩ-rĩ, ndungata ya kwĩhokeka na njũgĩ nĩĩrĩkũ, ĩrĩa mwathi wayo angĩĩhokera kũroraga ndungata iria ingĩ cia nyũmba yake, na ĩciheage irio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire?
46 Happy! that servant, whom his master, when he cometh, shall find so doing!
Kaĩ nĩũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata ĩyo, rĩrĩa mwathi wayo agooka akore ĩgĩĩka o ũguo-ĩ!
47 Verily, I say unto you—Over all his substance, will he appoint him.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩakamĩĩhokera indo ciake ciothe.
48 But, if that wicked servant should say in his heart—My master, delayeth,
No rĩrĩ, ndungata ĩyo ĩngĩkorwo nĩ njaganu, na ĩĩre na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa nĩegũikara ihinda iraaya atacookete,’
49 And begin to be striking his fellow-servants, and eating and drinking with the drunken,
na ĩkĩambĩrĩrie kũhũũra ndungata iria ingĩ, na kũrĩa na kũnyua hamwe na arĩĩu.
50 The master of that servant, will have come, on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not observing, —
Mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo agooka mũthenya ũrĩa ĩtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire, na ithaa rĩrĩa ĩtooĩ.
51 And will cut him asunder; and, his part, with the hypocrites, will appoint: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth!
Nake nĩakamĩherithia mũno, na amĩikie hamwe na andũ arĩa hinga, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo na kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.
