Matthew 24
1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,
Jesu akabuda mutemberi, uye paakanga achifamba kudaro, vadzidzi vake vakaswedera kwaari vakamuratidza dzimba dzetemberi.
2 and Jesus said to them, 'Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
Iye akati kwavari, “Muri kuona zvinhu izvi zvose here? Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti hakuna ibwe richasara pano riri pamusoro perimwe; ose achawisirwa pasi.”
3 And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' (aiōn g165)
Jesu akati agara paGomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari voga vakati, “Tiudzei kuti zvinhu izvi zvichaitika rini, uye kuti chiratidzo chokuuya kwenyu nokuguma kwenyika chichava chei?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray,
Jesu akapindura akati, “Chenjerai kuti murege kunyengerwa nomunhu.
5 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,
Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu vachiti, ‘Ndini Kristu,’ uye vachinyengera vazhinji.
6 and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Muchanzwa nezvehondo uye neguhu rehondo, asi chenjerai kuti murege kuvhundutswa nazvo. Zvinhu zvakadaro zvinofanira kuitika asi kuguma kunenge kusati kwasvika.
7 'For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;
Nokuti rudzi ruchamukira rumwe rudzi noumambo huchamukira humwe umambo. Kuchava nenzara nokudengenyeka kwenyika munzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana.
8 and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;
Asi zvose izvi mavambo okurwadziwa pakubereka.
9 then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;
“Ipapo muchaiswa kuna vanokutambudzai mugourayiwa, uye muchavengwa nendudzi dzose nokuda kwangu.
10 and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
Panguva iyoyo vazhinji vachadzokera shure kubva pakutenda uye vachamukirana vagovengana,
11 'And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;
uye vaprofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka uye vachanyengera vanhu vazhinji.
12 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;
Nokuda kwokuwanda kwokusarurama, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora.
13 but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;
Asi uyo achatsungirira kusvikira kumagumo, achaponeswa.
14 and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.
Uye vhangeri iri roumambo richaparidzwa munyika yose souchapupu kumarudzi ose, ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
15 'Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
“Saka pamunoona ‘nyangadzi yokuparadza’ yakataurwa nomuprofita Dhanieri, imire panzvimbo tsvene, anoverenga ngaanzwisise,
16 then those in Judea — let them flee to the mounts;
ipapo vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo.
17 he on the house-top — let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;
Uyo ari padenga reimba yake ngaarege kuburuka kuti andotora chinhu chipi zvacho chiri mumba make.
18 and he in the field — let him not turn back to take his garments.
Ari mumunda ngaarege kudzokera kundotora nguo yake.
19 'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
Zvichaoma sei mumazuva iwayo kuvakadzi vane mimba navaya vanoyamwisa!
20 and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;
Nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuitika panguva yechando kana nomusi weSabata.
21 for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.
Nokuti ipapo pachava nenhamo huru isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwenyika kusvika zvino uye haizombovapozve.
22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.
Dai mazuva iwayo asina kutapudzwa, hapana munhu airarama, asi nokuda kwavasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achatapudzwa.
23 'Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;
Panguva iyoyo, mukanzwa munhu anoti kwamuri, ‘Tarirai, hoyu Kristu!’ kana kuti, ‘Hoyo Kristu,’ musazvitenda.
24 for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
Nokuti kuchamuka vanaKristu venhema navaprofita venhema avo vachaita zviratidzo nezvishamiso kuti vanyengere kunyange navasanangurwa kana zvichigoneka.
25 Lo, I did tell you beforehand.
Tarirai, ndafanokuudzai zvisati zvaitika.
26 'If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;
“Saka kana munhu upi zvake akakuudzai kuti, ‘Tarirai uyo ari kurenje,’ musabuda kuti muendeko kana kuti akati, ‘Tarirai, ari mudzimba dzomukati,’ musazvitenda.
27 for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;
Sezvinoita mheni inopenya kumabvazuva ichionekwawo kumavirira, ndizvo zvichaita kuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
28 for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.
Pose pano mutumbi ndipo pachaungana magora.
29 'And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;
“Pakarepo shure kwokutambudzika kwamazuva iwayo, “‘zuva richasviba, uye mwedzi hauzovheneki; nyeredzi dzichawa kubva kudenga, namasimba omuchadenga achazungunuswa.’
30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;
“Ipapo chiratidzo choMwanakomana woMunhu chichaonekwa kudenga, uye ndudzi dzose dzenyika dzichachema. Vachaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya ari mumakore okudenga nesimba nokubwinya kukuru.
31 and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.
Uye achatuma vatumwa vake nokurira kwehwamanda kukuru uye vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina dzenyika, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga kusvikira kuno rumwe.
32 'And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh,
“Zvino dzidzai chidzidzo ichi kubva pamuonde: Panopfava matavi awo uye mashizha awo otungira, munoziva kuti zhizha rava pedyo.
33 so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh — at the doors.
Saizvozvowo, nemiwo pamunoona zvinhu zvose izvi muzive kuti nguva yangu yava pedyo, yava pamusiwo.
34 Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika.
35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Denga nenyika zvichapfuura asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
36 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers of the heavens — except my Father only;
“Hapana anoziva musi kana nguva kunyange vatumwa vokudenga kana Mwanakomana, asi Baba chete.
37 and as the days of Noah — so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;
Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNoa, ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,
Nokuti sapamazuva iwayo mafashamu asati auya, vanhu vaidya uye vachinwa, vaiwana nokuwanikwa kusvikira pazuva iro Noa akapinda muareka,
39 and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.
uye vakanga vasingazivi chinhu pamusoro pezvaizoitika kusvikira mafashamu avakukura vose. Ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
40 Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;
Varume vaviri vachange vari mumunda, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
41 two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.
Vakadzi vaviri vachange vachikuya paguyo, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
42 'Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;
“Naizvozvo, garai makagadzirira nokuti hamuzivi zuva iro Ishe wenyu achauya naro.
43 and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;
Asi nzwisisai izvi: Dai muridzi weimba aiziva kuti inguva ipi yousiku ichauya mbavha, angadai airinda uye haaizotendera kuti imba yake ipazwe.
44 because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.
Naizvozvo nemiwo garai makagadzirira nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya nenguva yamusingamutarisiri.
45 'Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
“Ndiani zvino muranda akatendeka uye akachenjera uyo akaiswa natenzi wake kuti atarire varanda veimba yake kuti agovapa zvokudya panguva yakafanira?
46 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
Akaropafadzwa muranda uyo anowanikwa achiita izvozvo pakudzoka kwatenzi wake.
47 verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti achamugadza kuti ave mutariri wepfuma yake yose.
48 'And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,
Asi ngatimboti muranda uyo akaipa uye oti mumwoyo make, ‘Tenzi wangu achange asipo kwenguva refu,’
49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,
uye ipapo otanga kurova vamwe varanda uye nokudya nokunwa nezvidhakwa.
50 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,
Tenzi womuranda uyo achauya pazuva raasingatarisire napanguva yaasingazivi.
51 and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Achasvikomugura-gura agomuisa panzvimbo imwe chete navanyengeri apo pachava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
The World is Destroyed by Water
