Mark 13
1 And as Jeshu went forth from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Malphona, behold, see those stones and those buildings?
Yesu alipokuwa anatoka Hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake alimwambia, “Mwalimu, tazama jinsi mawe haya na majengo haya yalivyo ya ajabu!”
2 But Jeshu said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left here a stone upon a stone which (will) not be destroyed.
Yesu akamwambia, “Je, unayaona majengo haya makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitabomolewa.”
3 And while Jeshu sat on the Mount of Olives before the temple, Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon and Andreas asked him by themselves,
Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni akielekea Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohane na Andrea wakamwuliza kwa faragha,
4 Tell us when (these events) shall be, and what is the sign when these all draw nigh to be accomplished.
“Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kwamba mambo haya karibu yatimizwe?”
5 But he, Jeshu, began to say to them, See that no man deceive you.
Yesu akaanza kuwaambia, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.
6 For many will come in my name, and will say, I am (He); and many will be deceived.
Maana wengi watakuja wakilitumia jina langu, wakisema, Mimi ndiye! nao watawapotosha watu wengi.
7 But when you hear of battles and the rumour of wars, fear not: for it is that they are to be; but not yet is the end.
Mtakaposikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita, msifadhaike. Mambo hayo lazima yatokee, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.
8 For people shall rise against people, and kingdom against kingdom; and earthquakes will he in various places; and there will be famines and convulsions. These are the beginning of sorrows.
Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine; utawala mmoja utapigana na utawala mwingine; kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko ya ardhi na njaa. Mambo haya ni kama tu maumivu ya kwanza ya kujifungua mtoto.
9 But look (to) yourselves; for they will deliver you to the judgments; and in their assemblies will they scourge you, and before kings and governors you shall stand on account of their testimony.
“Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Maana watu watawapelekeni mahakamani, na kuwapigeni katika masunagogi. Mtapelekwa mbele ya watawala na wafalme kwa sababu yangu ili mpate kunishuhudia kwao.
10 But first will be preached my gospel among all the nations.
Lakini lazima kwanza Habari Njema ihubiriwe kwa mataifa yote.
11 But when they lead you to deliver you up, be not previously anxious what you shall say, nor premeditate; but that, whatever is given you in that hour, that say. For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of Holiness.
Nao watakapowatieni nguvuni na kuwapeleka mahakamani, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya yale mtakayosema; saa ile itakapofika, semeni chochote mtakachopewa, maana si ninyi mtakaosema, bali Roho Mtakatifu.
12 But the brother will betray his brother to the death, and the father his son; and children will rise up against their fathers, and shall put them to death;
Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe; baba atamsaliti mwanae; watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
13 and you will be hated by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
Watu wote watawachukieni ninyi kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho ndiye atakayeokolewa.
14 But when you see the unclean sign of desolation, that which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (he who readeth, let him understand!) then let those who are in Jehud flee to the mountain
“Mtakapoona Chukizo Haribifu limesimama mahali ambapo si pake, (msomaji na atambue maana yake!) Hapo watu walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani.
15 And he who is upon the roof, let him not descend nor enter in to carry any thing from his house;
Mtu aliye juu ya paa la nyumba asishuke kuingia nyumbani mwake kuchukua kitu.
16 and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments.
Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck, in those days!
Ole wao waja wazito na wanaonyonyesha siku hizo!
18 But pray that your flight may not be in the winter:
Ombeni ili mambo hayo yasitukie nyakati za baridi.
19 for in those days shall be affliction such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which Aloha created, and until now, nor shall be.
Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki ambayo haijatokea tangu Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitatokea tena.
20 And unless the Lord cut short those days, no flesh would live; but on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, those days he hath cut short.
Kama Bwana asingepunguza siku hizo, hakuna binadamu ambaye angeokolewa. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule wake, Bwana amezipunguza siku hizo.
21 Then, if any man shall say to you, Behold, here is the Meshicha! and, Behold, (he is) there! believe not.
“Basi mtu akiwaambieni, Tazama, Kristo yupo hapa! au Yupo pale! msimsadiki.
22 For there will arise false Meshichas and prophets of a lie, and will give forth signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect also. But you, beware.
Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo, watafanya ishara na maajabu, ili kuwapotosha wateule wa Mungu, kama ikiwezekana.
23 Behold, I have told you every thing before.
Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Mimi nimewaambieni mambo yote kabla hayajatokea.
24 But in those days after that affliction the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give forth her light,
“Basi, siku hizo baada ya dhiki hiyo, jua litatiwa giza na mwezi hautaangaza.
25 and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be moved.
Nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
26 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and with glory.
Hapo watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika mawingu kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 And then will he send his angels, and will assemble his chosen ones from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the extremity of the heavens.
Kisha atawatuma malaika wake; atawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka mwisho wa dunia mpaka mwisho wa mbingu.
28 But from the fig-tree learn a parable. When her branches are tender, and she shoots forth her leaves, you know that the summer draws nigh:
“Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano huu: Mara tu matawi yake yanapoanza kuwa laini na kuchanua majani, mnajua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29 so also you, when you see that these things are done, understand that it is near, (even) at the door.
Hali kadhalika nanyi mtakapoona mambo hayo yakitendeka, jueni kwamba Mwana wa Mtu yuko karibu sana.
30 Amen I tell you, That this race shall not pass until these all shall be.
Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitapita kabla ya mambo hayo yote kutukia.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mbingu na dunia zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day and of that hour man knoweth not, nor the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
“Lakini hakuna mtu ajuaye siku au saa hiyo itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana; Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.
33 Look: be watchful and pray; for you know not when the time is.
Muwe waangalifu na kesheni, maana hamjui wakati huo utafika lini.
34 For as a man who hath journeyed, and left his house, and hath given authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and the door-keeper he hath instructed to be watchful;
Itakuwa kama mtu anayeondoka nyumbani kwenda safari akiwaachia watumishi wake madaraka, kila mmoja na kazi yake; akamwambia mlinzi wa mlango awe macho.
35 (so) watch you, therefore, because you know not when cometh the Lord of the house, -in the evening, or in the dividing of the night, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;
Kesheni, basi, kwa maana hamjui mwenye nyumba atarudi lini; huenda ikawa jioni, usiku wa manane, alfajiri au asubuhi.
36 lest he should come suddenly, and find you sleeping.
Kesheni ili akija ghafla asije akawakuta mmelala.
37 But what to you I say, that unto all I say, Be watchful.
Ninayowaambieni ninyi, nawaambia wote: Kesheni!”
