Mathayo 24
1 Nake Jesũ akiuma hekarũ, na rĩrĩa aathiiaga arutwo ake magĩũka kũrĩ we nĩguo mamuonie mĩako ya hekarũ.
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.
2 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkuona indo ici ciothe? Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, gũtirĩ ihiga o na rĩmwe rĩa maya rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
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.”
3 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aikarĩte thĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, arutwo ake magĩũka harĩ we hatarĩ andũ angĩ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mageekĩka rĩ, na kĩmenyithia gĩa gũcooka gwaku na kĩa mũthia wa mahinda maya nĩ kĩrĩkũ?” (aiōn g165)
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)
4 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio nĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 Nĩgũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmagooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Kristũ,’ na nĩ makaheenia andũ aingĩ.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
6 Nĩmũkaigua ũhoro wa mbaara, na mũhuhu ũkoniĩ mbaara, no inyuĩ mũtikanamake. Maũndũ ta macio no nginya mageekĩka, no ithirĩro ti rĩkinyu.
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nĩgũkaagĩa ngʼaragu na ithingithia kũndũ na kũndũ.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ kĩambĩrĩria kĩa ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo agĩe mwana.
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Ningĩ nĩmũkaneanwo mũnyariirwo na mũũragwo, na mũmenwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
“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.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩmagatiganĩria wĩtĩkio na makunyananĩre mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, na mamenane.
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Na anabii aingĩ a maheeni nĩmakoimĩra na nĩmakaheenia andũ aingĩ.
Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 Na tondũ waganu nĩũkaingĩha mũno-rĩ, wendani wa andũ aingĩ nĩũkanyiiha,
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 no ũrĩa ũgaakirĩrĩria nginya hĩndĩ ya ithirĩro-rĩ, ũcio nĩakahonoka.
But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 Naguo Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega wa ũthamaki nĩũkahunjio thĩ yothe ũtuĩke ũira kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na thuutha ũcio ithirĩro rĩkinye.
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.
15 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa mũkoona ‘kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu na gĩa kũrehe ihooru’ kĩrũgamĩte Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, o kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Danieli (ũrĩa ũrathoma nĩamenye ũhoro ũcio),
“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),
16 hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmorĩre irĩma-inĩ.
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ nyũmba yake igũrũ ndakaharũrũke atĩ akarute kĩndũ kuuma nyũmba yake.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 Nake ũrĩa wĩ mũgũnda ndagacooke mũciĩ kũgĩĩra nguo ciake.
Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo na nda na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmagakorwo na thĩĩna-ĩ!
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20 Hooyai nĩguo gwĩthara kwanyu gũtikanakorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ ya heho kana mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21 Nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩgũkagĩa na mĩnyamaro mĩnene, ĩtarĩ yoneka kuuma kĩambĩrĩria gĩa thĩ nginya rĩu, na ĩtakooneka rĩngĩ.
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.
22 Na tiga matukũ macio makuhĩhirio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩkaahonoka, no nĩ tondũ wa andũ arĩa aamũre, matukũ macio nĩmagakuhĩhio.
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.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Kristũ arĩ na haha!’ kana, ‘Arĩ harĩa!’ Mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24 Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ a maheeni na anabii a maheeni nĩmakeyumĩria monanie morirũ manene na maringe ciama, nĩguo maheenie o na arĩa aamũre, korwo no kũhoteke.
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.
25 Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ ndaamũmenyithia ũhoro ũcio mbere ya hĩndĩ ĩyo.
“Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Arĩ werũ-inĩ,’ mũtikanathiĩ kuo; kana angĩmwĩra, ‘Arĩ nyũmba thĩinĩ,’ mũtikanetĩkie ũhoro ũcio.
“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.
27 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa rũheni ruumĩte irathĩro ruonekaga ithũĩro-rĩ, ũguo noguo gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ gũgaakorwo kũhaana.
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.
28 Harĩa hothe harĩ kĩimba, hau nĩho nderi ciũnganaga.
For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
29 “Na rĩrĩ, o rĩmwe thuutha wa mĩnyamaro ya matukũ macio, “‘riũa nĩrĩkagĩa nduma, naguo mweri ũtige kwara; nacio njata nĩikaagũa kuuma igũrũ, namo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.’
“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;
30 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩmenyithia kĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩgĩkooneka kũu igũrũ, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ nĩigacakaya. Nĩikoona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ igũrũ rĩa matu, na arĩ na hinya na riiri mũingĩ.
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.
31 Nake nĩagatũma araika ake na mũgambo mũnene wa karumbeta, nao nĩmakoongania arĩa ake aamũre moimĩte mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe kĩa igũrũ nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
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.
32 “Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrutei na mũkũyũ: Rĩrĩa honge ciaguo ciarĩkia gũthundũka na ciaruta mathangũ-rĩ, nĩmũmenyaga atĩ hĩndĩ ya riũa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
“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.
33 Ũguo noguo rĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio mothe, mũkaamenya atĩ ihinda rĩrĩ hakuhĩ, rĩrĩ o ta mũrango-inĩ.
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigaathira nginya maũndũ macio mothe mahinge.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35 Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 “Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ ũhoro wa mũthenya ũcio kana ithaa rĩu, o na araika a igũrũ matiũĩ, o na Mũriũ ndooĩ, tiga no Ithe wiki.
“But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 O ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Nuhu, noguo gũkahaana hĩndĩ ya gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ marĩa maarĩ mbere ya kĩguũ, andũ nĩmarĩĩaga na makanyua, na nĩmahikanagia na makahika, o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa Nuhu aatoonyire thabina;
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,
39 nao matiamenyire nginya rĩrĩa kĩguũ gĩokire, gĩkĩmaniina othe. Ũguo noguo gũkahaana hĩndĩ ya gũũka kwa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arũme eerĩ magaakorwo marĩ mũgũnda; ũmwe nĩakoywo na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 Andũ-a-nja eerĩ magaakorwo magĩthĩa hamwe; ũmwe nĩakoywo na ũrĩa ũngĩ atigwo.
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩiguĩte, tondũ mũtiũĩ mũthenya ũrĩa Mwathani wanyu agooka.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
43 No menyai atĩrĩ, korwo mwene nyũmba nĩamenyete thaa cia ũtukũ iria mũici angĩũka, angĩaikarire eiguĩte, nyũmba yake ĩtuuo.
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.
44 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na inyuĩ no nginya mũikarage mwĩhaarĩirie, tondũ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agooka ithaa rĩrĩa mũtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 “Ningĩ-rĩ, ndungata ya kwĩhokeka na njũgĩ nĩĩrĩkũ, ĩrĩa mwathi wayo angĩĩhokera kũroraga ndungata iria ingĩ cia nyũmba yake, na ĩciheage irio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire?
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46 Kaĩ nĩũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata ĩyo, rĩrĩa mwathi wayo agooka akore ĩgĩĩka o ũguo-ĩ!
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩakamĩĩhokera indo ciake ciothe.
Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 No rĩrĩ, ndungata ĩyo ĩngĩkorwo nĩ njaganu, na ĩĩre na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa nĩegũikara ihinda iraaya atacookete,’
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 na ĩkĩambĩrĩrie kũhũũra ndungata iria ingĩ, na kũrĩa na kũnyua hamwe na arĩĩu.
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 Mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo agooka mũthenya ũrĩa ĩtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire, na ithaa rĩrĩa ĩtooĩ.
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,
51 Nake nĩakamĩherithia mũno, na amĩikie hamwe na andũ arĩa hinga, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo na kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.
and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
