Mark 13
1 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Yesu alipokuwa anatoka Hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake alimwambia, “Mwalimu, tazama jinsi mawe haya na majengo haya yalivyo ya ajabu!”
2 And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Yesu akamwambia, “Je, unayaona majengo haya makubwa? Hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitabomolewa.”
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni akielekea Hekalu, Petro, Yakobo, Yohane na Andrea wakamwuliza kwa faragha,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
“Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kwamba mambo haya karibu yatimizwe?”
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Yesu akaanza kuwaambia, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Maana wengi watakuja wakilitumia jina langu, wakisema, Mimi ndiye! nao watawapotosha watu wengi.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Mtakaposikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita, msifadhaike. Mambo hayo lazima yatokee, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings 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 take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
“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 And the gospel must first be proclaimed among all nations.
Lakini lazima kwanza Habari Njema ihubiriwe kwa mataifa yote.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
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 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake auawe; baba atamsaliti mwanae; watoto watawashambulia wazazi wao na kuwaua.
13 And ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
Watu wote watawachukieni ninyi kwa sababu ya jina langu. Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho ndiye atakayeokolewa.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand, ) then let them that are in Judaea flee to the mountains:
“Mtakapoona Chukizo Haribifu limesimama mahali ambapo si pake, (msomaji na atambue maana yake!) Hapo watu walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani.
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter it, to take any thing out of his house:
Mtu aliye juu ya paa la nyumba asishuke kuingia nyumbani mwake kuchukua kitu.
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again to take up his garment.
Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Ole wao waja wazito na wanaonyonyesha siku hizo!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not 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 God created to this time, neither shall be.
Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki ambayo haijatokea tangu Mungu alipoumba ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitatokea tena.
20 And except the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Kama Bwana asingepunguza siku hizo, hakuna binadamu ambaye angeokolewa. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule wake, Bwana amezipunguza siku hizo.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
“Basi mtu akiwaambieni, Tazama, Kristo yupo hapa! au Yupo pale! msimsadiki.
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo, watafanya ishara na maajabu, ili kuwapotosha wateule wa Mungu, kama ikiwezekana.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Lakini ninyi jihadharini. Mimi nimewaambieni mambo yote kabla hayajatokea.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
“Basi, siku hizo baada ya dhiki hiyo, jua litatiwa giza na mwezi hautaangaza.
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
26 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Hapo watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika mawingu kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Kisha atawatuma malaika wake; atawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, kutoka mwisho wa dunia mpaka mwisho wa mbingu.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
“Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano huu: Mara tu matawi yake yanapoanza kuwa laini na kuchanua majani, mnajua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Hali kadhalika nanyi mtakapoona mambo hayo yakitendeka, jueni kwamba Mwana wa Mtu yuko karibu sana.
30 Verily I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be done.
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 that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
“Lakini hakuna mtu ajuaye siku au saa hiyo itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana; Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Muwe waangalifu na kesheni, maana hamjui wakati huo utafika lini.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a long journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Itakuwa kama mtu anayeondoka nyumbani kwenda safari akiwaachia watumishi wake madaraka, kila mmoja na kazi yake; akamwambia mlinzi wa mlango awe macho.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Kesheni, basi, kwa maana hamjui mwenye nyumba atarudi lini; huenda ikawa jioni, usiku wa manane, alfajiri au asubuhi.
36 Lest coming suddenly he should find you sleeping.
Kesheni ili akija ghafla asije akawakuta mmelala.
37 And what I say to you I say to all, Watch.
Ninayowaambieni ninyi, nawaambia wote: Kesheni!”
