Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
Zvino Jesu wakabuda akabva patembere; vadzidzi vake ndokuswedera kuzomuratidza zvivakwa zvetembere.
2 But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”
Jesu akati kwavari: Hamuoni zvinhu izvi zvese here? Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakungatozongosiiwi pano ibwe pamusoro pebwe risingatongoputsirwi pasi.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
Kuzoti agere pagomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari vega vachiti: Tiudzei, zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chekuuya kwenyu nechokuguma kwenyika chichava chipi? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Chenjerai kuti kusava neanokutsausai;
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye vachatsausa vazhinji.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
Zvino muchanzwa zvehondo nerunyerekupe rwehondo; chenjerai, musakanganiswa; nokuti zvese zvinofanira kuitika; asi kuguma kuchigere.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Nokuti rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe, uye kuchava nenzara nematenda nekudengenyeka kwenyika kunzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Asi zvese izvi kutanga kwemarwadzo.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
Ipapo vachakukumikidzai mukutambudzika, uye vachakuurayai; uye muchavengwa nemarudzi ese nekuda kwezita rangu.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Zvino ipapo vazhinji vachagumbuswa, uye vachatengesana, nekuvengana.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
Uye vaporofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka, vatsause vazhinji.
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
Uye nekuda kwekuti uipi huchawanda, rudo rwevazhinji rwuchatonhora.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Asi anotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye achaponeswa.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Uye evhangeri iyi yeushe ichaparidzwa munyika yese chive uchapupu kumarudzi ese; ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
Naizvozvo kana muchiona nyangadzi yekuparadza yakarehwa naDhanyeri muporofita, imire panzvimbo tsvene (anorava ngaanzwisise),
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
zvino vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo;
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
ari pamusoro pedenga reimba ngaarege kuburuka kuzotora chinhu kubva mumba make;
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
neari kumunda ngaarege kudzokera shure kunotora nguvo dzake.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Asi mune nhamo vane mimba nevanonwisa nemazuva iwayo!
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
Asi nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuva muchando, kana nesabata.
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Nokuti ipapo kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru, kusati kwakavapo kwakadaro kubva pakutanga kwenyika kusvikira zvino, uye kusingazovipozve.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
Dai mazuva ayo asaipfupiswa, hakuna nyama zvachose yaiponeswa; asi nekuda kwevasanangurwa mazuva ayo achapfupiswa.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
Zvino kana munhu akati kwamuri: Tarirai, Kristu pano, kana apo, musatenda.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Nokuti kuchamuka vana kristu venhema nevaporofita venhema, vachaita zviratidzo zvikuru nezvishamiso, zvekuti kana zvichibvira, vatsause nevasanangurwa.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Tarirai, ndagara ndakuudzai.
26 “If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
Naizvozvo kana vakati kwamuri: Tarirai, ari murenje, musabuda; tarirai ari mudzimba dzemukati, musatenda.
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Nokuti semheni inobuda kumabvazuva ichipenya kusvikira kumavirira, kuchava saizvozvo nekuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
Nokuti pese-pese pane chitunha, ndipo pachaunganidzwa magora.
29 “But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
Pakarepo shure kwekutambudzika kwemazuva ayo zuva richasvibiswa, nemwedzi hauzopi chiedza chawo, uye nyeredzi dzichawa kudenga, nemasimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.
30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Uye ipapo kuchaonekwa chiratidzo cheMwanakomana wemunhu kudenga; uye ipapo marudzi ese enyika achachema, uye achaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya pamakore ekudenga nesimba nekubwinya kukuru.
31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Uye achatuma vatumwa vake nekurira kukuru kwehwamanda, vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina, kubva kumigumo yematenga kusvikira kumigumo yawo.
32 “Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
Asi dzidzai mufananidzo kubva pamuonde: Kana davi rawo rava ikozvino nyoro, richitunga mashizha, munoziva kuti zhizha rava pedo.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Saizvozvo nemwi, kana moona izvozvi zvese, zivai kuti zvava pedo pamikova.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri kusvikira izvozvi zvese zvaitika.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Asi zvezuva iro neawa hakuna anozviziva, kwete kunyange vatumwa vekumatenga, asi Baba vangu chete.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Asi semazuva aNowa, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
Nokuti sepamazuva akatangira mafashame, vaidya nekunwa, vachiwana nekuwaniswa, kusvikira zuva Nowa raakapinda muareka,
39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
uye vakange vasingazivi, kusvikira kwasvika mafashame avabvisa vese, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
Ipapo vaviri vachava mumunda; umwe achatorwa, uye umwe achasiiwa.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
Vakadzi vaviri vachikuya paguyo; umwe achatorwa, neumwe achasiiwa.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
Rindai naizvozvo, nokuti hamuzivi nguva Ishe wenyu yaachauya.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Asi zivai izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva kuti inguva yekurinda ipi ichasvika mbavha, angadai airinda, akasatendera imba yake kuti ipazwe.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
Naizvozvo imwiwo ivai makagadzirira; nokuti neawa ramusingafungiri, Mwanakomana wemunhu anouya.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
Ko ndiani muranda wakatendeka, wakangwara, ishe wake wakamugadza pamusoro pevaranda vake kuti avape kudya nenguva yakafanira?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti kana ishe wake achisvika anomuwana achiita saizvozvo.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achamugadza pamusoro pezvese zvaanazvo.
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
Asi kana muranda uyo wakaipa akati mumoyo make: Ishe wangu anonoka kuuya;
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
ndokutanga kurova vamwe varanda vanobata pamwe naye, nekudya nekunwa nevararadzi,
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
ishe wemuranda uyo achasvika nezuva raasingatariri neawa raasingazivi,
51 and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
akamugura nepakati, agoisa mugove wake pamwe nevanyepedzeri; apo pachava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.
