< Mark 13 >
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Yesu ye ihuma mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, um`bulanisivua ghwake jumonga akam`buula akati, “M`bulanisi, lola amavue na majumba agha vule ghalivuo!”
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
U Yesu akamwamula akati, “Nikuvavuula niiti, ndavule mukughavona amajumba amakome agha, nalilasighala nambe livue lino lilighelama pa livue ilingi, ulwakuva ghooni ghilihemulua.”
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
U yesu akaluta pa kidunda ikya Miseituni, akikala alungiime ku nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila. Apuo uPeteli, u Yakovo, u Yohani nu Ndeleeya, ye vijekiile, vakamposia u Yesu vakati,
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
“Tusuuma utuvuule, isio sino utuvulile silivombeka liighi? kivalilo kiki ikya ktuhufia kuuti unsiki uhgwa kuvombeka isi sooni ghuli piipi?”
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Pepano u Yesu akavavuula akati, “Muvisaghe maaso, umuunhu nangavasyangaghe,
6 Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
ulwakuva vinga vilikwisa mu litavua lyango, nujunge itisagha, 'Neene kilisite.' avaanhu avuo vilikuvasyannga vinga.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Umue mulaava mupulika uvulugu ni njovo saake, mulekaghe pikwoghopa. Ndaluve ndaani isio silivoneka taasi, neke unsiki ughwene ughwa vusililo ghuuva ghukyale.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Ifighono ifio iisi iisi jilallwisagha ni iisi ijingi, kange uvutwa kulua nu vutwa kulua nu vutwa uvunge. Imbale ni mbale kwefiliiva ifisenyeena, kwejiliiva injala. Isio sooni vuuva vutengulilo, Ndavule uvuvafi uvwa mukijuuva, pano unsiki ugwa kupaapa umwana ghufikile.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
Neke umue muvisaghe maaso, ulwakuva vilikuvutwala pa vuhighi na mu masinagogi, vilikuvatova. kange vilikuvatwala pa vanjagila na pa vatwa, ulkwakuva mukumbingilila une. Ughuo ghuuva ghwe nsiki ughwa kwoleka ulwitiko lwinu ku veene.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Imhola inofu umpaka jipulisivue mu iisi sooni, uvusilio ye vukyale kufika.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
“Pano viliiva vavakolile na kukuvatwala pa vuhingi, namungasaghaghe kuuti kyamujova kiki, umue mujovaghe kino mupelua unsikki ughuo. Ulwakuva namwmue muuva mujova, looli iiva ghwe uMwimike.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
Umuunhu ikumwohelagha unnine ku vanya vutavulilua kuuti abudue. Uviise ikumwohegha, voope avaana vikuvagalukilagha avapaafi vaave kuuti vabudue.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
Avaanhu vooni vilikuvakalilagha ulwakuva mukumbingilila une. Neke juno ikuguda kuhanga kufika kuvusililo, ujuo ghwe alakuluka.”
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
“Neke mulaava muvwene ikiinu kino kipelela uvulamafu inyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, kyimile pavwimike pano nakinakinoghile kuuva,
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
juno ikwimba amasio agha alutang`haniaghe, apuo pepano vano vali mu Yudea vakimbililaghe ku fidunda. Juno ali pa kituvili, naangikaghe kutoola kimonga mu nyumba jaake.
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
Ghwope juno ali ku mughunda, naangagomokaghe ku kaaja kutoola umwenda ghwake.
17 But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Iga avakijuuva vano viliiva vakunue na vano vilikwong`helesyagha ifighono ifio!
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Lino, mufunyaghe kuuti isio sileke pikwisa amasiki agha ulusiku. Lino, mufunyaghe kuuti isio sileke pikwisa amasiki agha fula ni mhepo.
Kweluliiva ulupumuko luno nalughelile kuvoneka kuhuma uNguluve ipela iisi, kuhanga kufika umusyughu. Kane nalulavoneka lusiku.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Nave uMutwa uNguluve naikepusia ifighono, ifio nakwale ughwa kukuluka. Neke vwimila avasalulua vaake, ilikepusia ifighono ifio.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
“Unsiki ughuo umuunhu angati, 'Lola! Ukilisite ali apa.' nambe 'Ali kula,' namungikitaghe.
Ulwakuva vavili va vudesi. Avuo vihufyagha ifivalilo ni fidegho kuuti vavasofie avaanhu nambe avasalulua va Nguluve. Lino, ume muvisaghe maaso.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
ulwakuva nivavulile sooni, ye sikyale pikwisa.”
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
Neke ifighio siliiva sikilile imhumuko isio, 'ing'hiisi jilakupikila ilijuva, naghu mwesi naghulavala.
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
Inhondue silasanguka kuhuma,' ni fiinu fyoni ifya kukyanya filasukanika.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
“Pepano valambona une ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nikwisa mu mafunde ni ngufu nyinga nu vuvaha.
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
Neke nilavasuung'gha avanyamhola vango, vavakong'hanie avasalulua vango, kuhuma imbale sooni isa iisi.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Mumanyilaghe ikihwanikisio ikya mpiki untini. Pano inhaafi saake silemba na kuuva na matundu, makagulaghe kuuti amasiki gha fula ghali piipi.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
Fye lulaava, muliiva mukusivona sino noliike sivombeka, mukagulaghe kuuti nili piipi kukwisa.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
Kyang'haani nikuvavuula niiti, ikisina iki nakilakila kuhanga isi sooni sivombeke.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
Uvulanga ni iisi filakila, looli amasio ghano naghalakila.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
Neke ikighono nu nsiki ughwa kwisa une ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu, nakwale juno akagwile ambe avanyamhola kukyanya, nambe juune ne Mwana, looli ju Nhaata.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
Muling'haniaghe, kange muvisaghe maaso, (ulkakuva namukagwile: unsiki ughuo ghuliva liighi).
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
Lulaava ndavule umuunhu juno ikyula, ikujileke ikaaja jaake mu mavoko gha vavombi vaaka na kukuvapeela nujunge imbombo jaake. kange ikum'buula juno ilolelela pa mulyango kuuti avisaghe maaso.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
Lino, umue mmuvisaghe maaso, ulwakuva namughukagwile unsiki ughwa kugomoka unya nyumba, pamo aliisa vwilile nambe kilo nkate, pamo pano kuhenga nambe lwakilo.
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
Muvisaghe maaso kuuti alavang'hulania mughoneliile.
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Sino nikuvavuula umue, nikuvavuula vooni. Muvisaghe maaso!”
