< Luka 21 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, aatiira maitho, Jesũ akĩona itonga igĩĩkĩra mĩhothi yao harĩa heekagĩrwo kĩgĩĩna kĩa hekarũ.
And he looked up, and saw rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Agĩcooka akĩona mũtumia mũthĩĩni, warĩ wa ndigwa, agĩĩkĩra tũthendi twĩrĩ o ho thĩinĩ.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in there two mites.
3 Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũtumia ũyũ mũthĩĩni wa ndigwa nĩahotha mbeeca nyingĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 Andũ acio angĩ othe maaheana kũringana na ũtonga wao; no mũtumia ũyũ o na arĩ mũthĩĩni, ahotha kĩrĩa gĩothe oima nakĩo gĩa kũmũtũũria.”
For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her poverty hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 Na rĩrĩ, arutwo amwe ake nĩmaragia ũhoro wa hekarũ, ũrĩa yagemetio na mahiga mathaka na iheo iria ciarutĩirwo Ngai. No Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ,
And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “Ha ũhoro wa mĩako ĩno mũrona-rĩ, hĩndĩ nĩĩroka rĩrĩa gũtagakorwo ihiga rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩ rĩ maũndũ macio magekĩka? Na kĩmenyithia kĩa atĩ marĩ hakuhĩ gwĩkĩka nĩ kĩrĩkũ?”
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio. Nĩgũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmagooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ We,’ na ningĩ mamwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie.’ Mũtikanamarũmĩrĩre.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them.
9 Rĩrĩa mũkaigua ũhoro wa mbaara na wa ngũĩ, mũtikanetigĩre. Maũndũ macio no nginya mekĩke mbere, no ũguo ti kuuga ithirĩro nĩikinyu.”
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet.
10 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũrĩa ũngĩ.
Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Nĩgũkaagĩa na ithingithia nene mũno, na ngʼaragu, na mĩrimũ mĩũru kũndũ na kũndũ, na maũndũ ma kũmakania na imenyithia nene kuuma igũrũ.
And great earthquakes shall be in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 “No maũndũ macio mothe matanakinya-rĩ, nĩmũkanyiitwo, na mũnyariirwo na mũneanwo thunagogi-inĩ na njeera o na mũtwarwo mbere ya athamaki na aathani. Maũndũ macio mothe mũgeekwo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13 Ũndũ ũyũ ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mweke wanyu wa kũmarutĩra ũira.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 No rĩrĩ, mũtikanatangĩke mũgĩĩciiria o mbere, ũrĩa mũgeeciirĩrĩra.
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamũhe ciugo na ũũgĩ iria thũ cianyu itakahota gwĩtiiria kana gũkararia.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to speak against nor withstand.
16 Nĩmũgakunyanĩrwo o na nĩ aciari anyu, na arĩa mũciaranĩirwo nao, na andũ a mbarĩ cianyu, o na arata, na nĩmakooragithia amwe anyu.
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
And ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 No rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ rũcuĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwa mũtwe wanyu rũkoora.
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 Kũũmĩrĩria kwanyu nĩkuo gũgaatũma mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu.
In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 “Rĩrĩa mũkoona Jerusalemu kũrigiicĩirio nĩ thigari cia mbaara, hĩndĩ ĩyo mũkaamenya atĩ kũniinwo kwarĩo kũrĩ hakuhĩ.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is near.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmorĩre irĩma-inĩ, na arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene nĩmoime kuo, nao arĩa marĩ ngʼongo-inĩ matikarĩtoonye.
Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it.
22 Nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩu nĩrĩo rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ rĩa kũherithanio, nĩguo maũndũ marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo mahingio.
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo marĩ na nda, na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia twana matukũ macio nĩmagathĩĩnĩka-ĩ! Nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũyũ nĩũkagĩa na kĩnyariirĩko kĩnene na mangʼũrĩ ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ aya.
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Nĩmakooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, o na matahwo matwarwo mabũrũri mothe ma thĩ. Itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu nĩrĩkarangĩrĩrio nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nginya mahinda ma andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ mahingio.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled.
25 “Na nĩgũkagĩa imenyithia thĩinĩ wa riũa na mweri-inĩ na njata-inĩ. Nakuo gũkũ thĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaigua ruo na igegio nĩ mũrurumo wa iria na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ makĩhũũrana.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Andũ nĩmakaringĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kũmaka, na guoya wa maũndũ marĩa magooka thĩ, nĩgũkorwo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for expectation of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa itu arĩ na hinya na riiri mũingĩ.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maũndũ macio makaambĩrĩria gwĩkĩka-rĩ, mũkaarũgama mũtiire mĩtwe yanyu na igũrũ, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ yanyu ya gũkũũrwo nĩĩkuhĩrĩirie.”
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth near.
29 Ningĩ akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno: “Ta rorai mũtĩ wa mũkũyũ na mĩtĩ ĩyo ĩngĩ yothe.
And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 Rĩrĩa yathundũra mathangũ, mũmĩonaga na mũkamenya atĩ ihinda rĩa riũa rĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now near at hand.
31 Ũguo noguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio mothe magĩkĩka, mũkaamenya o wega atĩ ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near at hand.
32 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigathira maũndũ macio mothe matahingĩtio.
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 “Mwĩmenyererei, ngoro cianyu itikanakorwo itahĩtwo nĩ ndĩa, na ũrĩĩu na metanga ma muoyo ũyũ, naguo mũthenya ũcio ũmũkorerere ta mũtego o rĩrĩa mũtangĩĩgereria.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with dissipation, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 Nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũyũ ũgaakorerera andũ arĩa othe matũũraga thĩ-ĩno.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte hĩndĩ ciothe, na mũhooyage nĩguo mũkaahota kũũrĩra maũndũ marĩa makiriĩ gwĩkĩka, na nĩguo mũkaahota kũrũgama mbere ya Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.”
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Na o mũthenya Jesũ nĩarutanaga hekarũ-inĩ, na hwaĩ-inĩ agathiĩ gũkoma kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩĩtagwo Kĩrĩma kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 Nao andũ othe nĩmathiiaga hekarũ-inĩ rũciinĩ tene kũmũthikĩrĩria.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
