Matthew 24
1 Jesus left the Temple [courtyard]. As he was walking along, [we] disciples came to him to ask him to note [how beautiful] the Temple buildings [were].
Yesu aulukile mwiekalu na genda jae. Abhweigisibhwa bhae bhamulubhile nokumwelesha inyumba ya Iyekalu.
2 He said to us, “These buildings that you are looking at [RHQ] [are wonderful, but] I want to tell you [something about them. They will soon be completely destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will completely destroy them]}. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {they will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another stone.”
Nawe abhasubhishe no kubhabhwila,” Mtakugalola amagambo aga gone nichimali enibhabhwila ati litalio ebhui linu elisigalao ingulu yelidi linu litalifumibhwa.”
3 [Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
Na ejile eyanja kuchima ja mujeituni, abhweigisibhwa bhae bhamulubhile kwo kwitebha nibhaika ati, “chibhwile, amagambo ganu galibha lii? Nichinuki chilibha chibhalikisho Cho kuja kwao no bhutelo bhwechalo?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
Yesu abhasubhishe no kubhabhwila ati, “Mukabhuke ati atalija munu akabhayabhya.
5 Many [people] will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah’, and they will deceive many [people].
Okubha bhafu bhalija kwisina lyani. Nibhaika ati,' Anye nanye Kristo', abhabhayabhya bhafu.
6 You will hear about wars [that are close] and wars that are far away, but do not let that trouble you. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that the end [of the world] has come!
Mulyungwa lilemo no bhumenyi bho bhulemo. Mulolenga mutalija kubha na bhubha okubha amagambo ganu gatalilema kubhao; Nawe obhutelo obhubha bhuchali.
7 [Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Okubha liyaanga Lilimuka kwiyanga lwejabho, no bhukama bhulija kubhukama bhwejabho. Ilibhao ijala na ganyamutikima gaisi mabhala na mabhala.
8 These things will happen first. Then there will be other things that [will happen before I return. What will happen will be like the first pains] of childbirth MET].
Nawe amagambo ganu gone nibhwambilweela bho bhusungu bho kwibhula.
9 At that time [people who oppose you] will take you to [the authorities, who] will mistreat you and kill you. You will be hated by [people who live in] all nations [PRS] {[People who live in] all nations [PRS] will hate you} because [you believe in me][MTY].
Nio bhalibhasosha muje okunyasibhwa no kubheta. Muligengwa na maaga gone kulwaijuno ya lisina lyani.
10 Also, many [people] will stop believing [in me because of the way they will suffer]. They will betray each other and will hate each other.
Nio abhafu bhalikujula no kulomelana iniku na bhaliyambana abhene kwa bhene.
11 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
Abhalangi bhafu abholulimi bhalija no kubhajiga bhwafu.
12 Because there will be more and more [people] who will disobey [God’s] laws [PRS], many [people] will no longer [MET] love [their fellow believers] [PRS].
kusonga obhunyamuke bhuliyongesha, okwenda kwabhafu okunyilila.
13 But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
Nawe unu alikomesha okukinga kubhutelo, alikisibhwa.
14 Furthermore, the good message about my ruling over people’s lives will be preached in every part of the world, in order that people of all ethnic groups may hear it. Then the end [of the world] will come.”
Chinu echigambo Cho bhukama chisimulwa muchalo chone uti bhubhambasi kumaaga gonna. Mbe nio obhutelo nibhukinga.
15 “[But before the world ends], the disgusting person who will defile [the] holy [Temple and cause people to abandon it will stand in the Temple. Daniel the prophet spoke and wrote] about that [long ago]. May everyone who reads [this] pay attention [to the following warning from me: ]
Mbe nawe, mulibha mwalola echifululusho cho kusimagisha, linu lyaikwilwe no Mulagi Danyeli limeleguyu anu elele (unu kasoma asombokelwe),
16 When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
Nio bhanu bhaliga mu Yuda bhabhilimile muchima.
17 Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
Unu ali ingulu yo lusala lwa inyumba asige okutuka, okwika amwi okugega chone chone okusoka munyumba yae,
18 Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
Na unu ali mwisambu asige kusubha kugenga ingubho yae.
19 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]
Mbe nawe jilibhabhona bhaliya abho bhali na bhana na bhalia abho abhanen'ya musiku ejo!
20 Pray that you will not have to flee (in the winter/in the rainy season) [when it will be hard to travel]. [People who think that God never allows anyone to do any work on] our day of rest [will not help you as you flee, so] pray also that you will not have to flee on such a day,
Musabhwega ati okubhilima kwemwe kutalibha musiku ja ibeo amwi kulusiku lwa isabhato.
21 because people will suffer very severely [when those things happen]. People have never suffered that severely since [God] created the world until now, and no one will ever [suffer like that again].
Kulwo kubha ilibhao inyanko nene, inu ichaliga kubhao kusokelela kubhwambilo bhwa insi okukinga lelo, na nolwo italibhao lindi.
22 If [God had not decided to] shorten that time [MTY] [when people will suffer so much], everyone [LIT] would die. But [he has decided to] shorten it because [he is concerned] about [the people] whom [he] has chosen.”
Ka jisiku ejo jichilema okeibhwako, atakabhweyeo oyo akakisibhwe nawe kulwa bhasolwa, jisisiku ejo jilikeibhwa.
23 “[At that time] people will appear [who will] falsely [say that they are] the Messiah or [that they are] prophets. They will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do), in order to deceive people. They will even try [to see] if [it is] possible to deceive [you people whom God has] chosen. So, at that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look, here [is] the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Over there is the Messiah!’ do not believe it!
Nio ilibha munu wone wone akabhabhwila ati 'Lola, 'Kristo alyanu! Amwi, 'Kristo' ali elia Musige okwilisha emisango ejo.
Ku lwo kubha abha kristo bholulimi na bhalagi bholulimi bhalija ni bholesha jibalikisho nene ne bhilugusho, koleleki bhabhayabhye, ka labha bhakatula nolwo abhasolwa.
25 Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
Mbe nimulole natangata okubhakabhusha inyuma ya magambo ago gachali kubhonekana
26 So if someone says to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is in the desolate area!’ do not go there. [Likewise, if someone says to you], ‘Look, he is in a secret room!’ do not believe [that person],
Ku lwejo, nolwo bhakabhabhwila ati, “Kristo ali mwipoli, mutaligeda eyo mwipoli amwi ni mulole, ali munyumba, mwasiga okwikilisha emisango ejo.
27 because just like lightning flashes from the east to the west [and people everywhere can] see it [SIM], when [I], the one who came from heaven, return again, [everyone will see me].
Okubha lwa kutyo olulabhyo olumulika okusoka ebhutuluka nilwolesha okukiga ebhugwa, nikwo kutyo kulibha okuja kwo mwana wo munu.
28 [When I return, it will be as obvious to everyone as the fact that] wherever you see vultures gathering, you know that there will be an animal carcass [MET] there. (OR, Just like the vultures gather together wherever there is an animal carcass, God will punish sinful people wherever they are.)”
One one anu guli omutumbi, eyo niyo jipungu ejikofyanyisha
29 “Immediately after many people have suffered during those days, [the universe will become dark]. The sun will become dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken. (OR, And the spiritual beings in space will be deposed.)
Nawe alibha yawa inyako inene yajisiku jiliya, lisubha lilitulilwao omwilima, okwesi kutakusosha bhwelu bhwakwo, jijota jililagala okusoka kulwile, na managa mulwile galisingisibhwa.
30 After that, something [will be seen] {[people will observe something]} in the sky that indicates that [I], the one who came from heaven, [am returning to the earth]. Then [unbelieving people from] all ethnic groups of the earth will [mourn because they will be afraid] of [God punishing them]. They will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming on the clouds with power and great glory [as I return to the earth].
Mbe nio echibhalikisho cho mwana wo munu chilibhonekana kulwile, najingada jone jechalo jililila nijinega. Bhalimulola omwana wo munu naja mumele aga kulwile kwa managa na likusho lyafu.
31 I will send my angels [to the earth] from everywhere in the heavens. [They will be] blowing trumpets loudly. [Then] from throughout the whole earth [DOU] they will gather the people whom I have chosen.”
Alibhatuma bhamalaika bhae no bhulaka bhunene obhwaing'ombi, nibho bhulibhakumanya amwi abhasolwa bhae bhokusoka mbala ena ejechalo, okusoka bhutelo bhumwi bho lwile okukinga kubhundi.
32 “[Now] I [want you to] learn something [from] this parable about [how] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when the buds [of a fig tree] become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Mwiigile lisomo okusokana na liti litini. Litabhi likasebhuka no kusosha amabhabhi, mumenye ati olwanda luli yei.
33 Similarly, when you see all these things that I [have just described happening], you will know that [the time for me to return] is very close [MET].
Ni kwo kutyo, mulilola amagambo ganu gone, jibheile okumenya ati ali yei kumilyango.
34 Keep this in mind: All of these events will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Ni chimali enibhabhwila, olwibhulo lunu lutaliwao, okukingila amagambo gone ganu agabha gabhonekene.
35 [You can be certain that these] things that I have told [you] about will happen. You can be more certain of that than you can be certain that the earth and sky [LIT] will continue to exist.”
Olwile na nsi bhiliwao, tali emisango jani jitaliwao chimwi.
36 “But neither I, nor any other person, nor any angel in heaven, knows either the day or the hour [when the things that I have told you about will happen]. Only [God, my] Father, [knows].
Nawe ebhyo lusiku lulia na isaa atalio munu unu amenyele, nakabhee nolwo bhamalaika bhamulwile nolwo omwana, Tali lata omwene enyele.
37 It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, [the people] did not know that [anything bad would happen] to them. Before the flood waters covered the earth, [the people] were eating and drinking [as usual]. Some men were marrying women and [some parents] were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all [those who were not in the boat]. Similarly, [the unbelieving people will not know] when [I, the one who came from heaven], will return, [and they will not] be [expecting me].
Na ka lwakutyo jaliga jili musiku ja Nuu, nikwo ilibha okuja kwo mwana wo munu.
kulwo kubha musiku ejo inyuma ya dulima abhanu bhaliga nibhalya no kunywa, nibhatwala no kutwalwa no kukingila olusiku lulia olwo engila mungalabha,
Na bhatamenyele chinu chone chone okukingila iduluma olwo yejile nibhagega bhone -nikwo kulibha okuja kwo mwana wo munu.
40 When I [return], I [will not take all people up to heaven. I will take only those who trust in me. For example], two [people] will be in the fields. One of them will be taken {[I] will take one of them} up [to heaven] and the other [person] will be left {and I will leave the other [person]} [here to be punished].
Niwo bhanu bhabhili bhalibha bhali mwisabhu- oumwi aligengwa no umwi alisigala inyuma.
41 [Similarly], two [women] will be at the mill grinding grain. One of them will be taken up [to heaven] and the other will be left.
Abhagasi hhabhili bhalibha nibhasya bhali amwi -oumwi aligegwa no oumwi kasigala.
42 So, because you do not know what day [I], your Lord, will return [to the earth], you need to be ready [for me to return at any time].
Mbe, nimwegee, kulwo kubha mutakumenya ni lusiku ki lunu alja esobhugenyi wemwe.
43 You know that if the owners of a house knew at what time in the night thieves would come, they would be awake and prevent the thieves from breaking into their houses. Similarly, I [will come just like unexpectedly as a thief].
Nawe mumenye chinu ati, chibha kanya nyumba amenyele omwanya na saa ki inu omwifi kejilamo akalindilie na atakekilisishe nyumba yae okwingililwa.
44 So you need to be ready [for my return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will return [to the earth] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Ku lwejo, one mwiile okubha mumalilie, okubha omwana wo munu alija mu mwanya gunu mutakwiganilisyamo.
45 “Think about what every faithful and wise servant is like [RHQ]. The house owner appoints one servant to supervise the other servants. He tells him to give them food at the proper times. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Mbe niga unu Ali Mulengelesi, omugaya wo bhwenge, unu Esebhugenyi waye amuyae obhukulu ingulu yabho bhali munyumba yae, koleleki abhayane ebhilyo ku mwanya gunu gwiile?
46 If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
Ana libhando omugaya oyo, unu Esebhugenyi wae alimusanga nakolaga kutyo omwanya gunu alija.
47 Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
Nichimali enibhabhwila ati Esebhugenyi alimutula ingulu ya bhuli chinu echo chili chae.
48 But a wicked servant might say to himself, ‘The owner [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably] will not return soon [and find out what I am doing.’]
Ka nawe omugaya omubhibhi kaika mumutima gwae, Latabhugenyi wani akola.'
49 [So he] will begin to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk.
No okwamba okubhabhuma abhagaya bhae, na akalya no kutamila amwi na bakolwa,
50 [Then] the house owner will come back at a time when the servant does not expect him [DOU].
Esebhugenyi wae omugaya oyo alija kulusiku lunu atakwiganilisya, na mu saa inu atakuimenya.
51 He will punish that servant severely [HYP], (OR, cut that servant into two pieces) and he will put him where (the hypocrites/the ones who only pretended to be good) are put. In that place the people cry and grind their teeth [because they suffer very much].”
Esebhugenyi wae alimubhutula mabhala gabhili no kumutula lubhala lumwi amwi na bholulimi, niwo kulibhao okulila na okuguguna ameno.
