< Mariko 13 >

1 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimaga hekarũ-inĩ, ũmwe wa arutwo ake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ta rora! Mahiga maya kaĩ nĩ manene-ĩ! Kaĩ nyũmba ici nĩ thaka-ĩ!”
And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!
2 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũrona nyũmba ici nene ũũ? Gũtirĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩa maya rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.
3 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aikarĩte thĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ angʼetheire hekarũ-rĩ, Petero na Jakubu na Johana na Anderea makĩmũũria marĩ keheri-inĩ atĩrĩ,
And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,
4 “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mageekĩka rĩ? Na kĩmenyithia atĩ maũndũ macio marĩ hakuhĩ gwĩkĩka nĩ kĩrĩkũ?”
Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.
5 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio nĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.
6 Andũ aingĩ nĩ magooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Kristũ,’ na nĩmakaheenia andũ aingĩ.
People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.
7 Rĩrĩa mũkaigua mbaara na mũhuhu wa mbaara mũtikanamake. Maũndũ ta macio no nginya mekĩke, no rĩrĩ, ithirĩro ti rĩkinyu.
And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.
8 Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũthamaki ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nĩgũkaagĩa na ithingithia kũndũ na kũndũ, o na kũgĩe ngʼaragu. Maũndũ maya nĩ kĩambĩrĩria kĩa ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.
9 “No inyuĩ-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte. Nĩmũkaneanwo kũrĩ ciama cia athuuri na mũhũũrwo iboko thĩinĩ wa thunagogi. Nĩmũkarũgama mbere ya aathani na athamaki nĩ ũndũ wakwa, mũtuĩke aira akwa kũrĩ o.
But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.
10 Naguo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega no nginya wambe ũhunjio kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
And the good news has first to be given to all the nations.
11 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũkaanyiitwo mũtwarwo mũgaciirithio, mũtikanetange mũgĩĩciiria ũrĩa mũkoiga. Inyuĩ mũkoiga o ũrĩa mũkaahotithio hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo ti inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũkĩaria, no nĩ Roho mũtheru.
And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.
12 “Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩra mũrũ wa nyina ooragwo, na ithe wa mũndũ akunyanĩre mwana wake, o na ciana nĩikaremera aciari a cio na imoragithie.
And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
13 Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya mũthia nĩakahonoka.
And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.
14 “Rĩrĩa mũkoona kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu na gĩa kũrehe ihooru kĩarũgama harĩa gĩtagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrũgama-rĩ, (ũrĩa ũrathoma nĩamenye ũhoro ũcio), hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmoorĩre irĩma-inĩ.
But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:
15 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgaakorwo arĩ nyũmba yake igũrũ ndakanaharũrũke kana atoonye kũruta kĩndũ nyũmba.
And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:
16 Nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo arĩ mũgũnda ndagacooke mũciĩ kũgĩĩra nguo ciake.
And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
17 Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo marĩ na nda na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmagakorwo marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.
18 Hooyagai Ngai atĩ maũndũ macio matikanakinye hĩndĩ ya heho,
And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.
19 nĩ ũndũ matukũ macio gũgaakorwo na mĩnyamaro ĩtarĩ yoneka ĩngĩ tayo kuuma kĩambĩrĩria rĩrĩa Ngai ombire thĩ nginya rĩu, na gũtikoneka ĩngĩ tayo.
For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.
20 Tiga Mwathani anyihanyiihirie matukũ macio, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩgatigara. No tondũ wa andũ ake arĩa aamũre, matukũ macio nĩmagakuhĩhio.
And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ haha!’ kana amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ haarĩa!’ mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
22 Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ a maheeni na anabii a maheeni nĩmakeyumĩria monanie morirũ na maringe ciama nĩguo mahĩtithie andũ arĩa aamũre, korwo no kũhoteke.
Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte tondũ nĩndamwĩra maũndũ mothe mbere ya ihinda rĩtanakinya.
But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
24 “No ihinda-inĩ rĩu, thuutha wa maũndũ macio ma mĩnyamaro, “‘riũa nĩrĩkagĩa nduma, naguo mweri ndũkaara;
But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,
25 njata nacio nĩikaagũa kuuma igũrũ, namo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.’
And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
26 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩ makoona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa matu, arĩ na hinya mũingĩ mũno o na riiri.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Nake nĩagatũma araika ake macookanĩrĩrie andũ ake arĩa aamũre kuuma mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, o na kuuma ituri ciothe cia thĩ na cia igũrũ.
And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.
28 “Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrutei na mũkũyũ: Rĩrĩa honge ciaguo ciarĩkia gũthundũra na ciaruta mathangũ-rĩ, nĩmũmenyaga atĩ hĩndĩ ya riũa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;
29 Ũguo noguo, rĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio magĩĩkĩka mũkaamenya ihinda rĩrĩ hakuhĩ, rĩrĩ o mũromo-inĩ.
Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
30 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigaathira nginya maũndũ macio mothe makaahingio.
Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
31 Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
32 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũũĩ ũhoro wa mũthenya ũcio kana ithaa rĩu, o na araika a igũrũ matiũĩ, o na Mũriũ ndooĩ, tiga Ithe wiki!
But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.
33 Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte! Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte! Mũtiũĩ rĩrĩa ihinda rĩu rĩgaakinya.
Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
34 Gũkahaana ta mũndũ ũgũthiĩ rũgendo ũrĩa atigaga egaĩra ndungata ciake irorage mũciĩ, o ndungata akamĩhe wĩra wayo, na agatiga atha mũikaria wa mũrango o nake aikarage ehũũgĩte.
It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.
35 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte tondũ mũtiũĩ rĩrĩa mwene mũciĩ agacooka, kana agooka hwaĩ-inĩ, kana ũtukũ gatagatĩ, kana ngũkũ ĩkĩgamba, o na kana gũgĩthererũka.
So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, or in the morning;
36 O rĩrĩa angĩũka-rĩ, mũtikanareke amũkore mwĩrigĩtwo.
For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.
37 Ũguo ngũmwĩra, noguo ngwĩra andũ othe, atĩrĩ, ‘Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte’.”
And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep watch.
