uMarko 13
1 uYesu nai wakatula ukugenda kupuma mi itekeelo, ung'wi nua amanysigwa akwe akamukolya, “Ng'walimu, goza i magwe aya ni aku kuilwa ni mazumba!”
As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"
2 Akamutambuila, Ukihenga i mazumba aya ni makulu? Kutili ga nigwe ni ling'wi nilika sagiila migulya a lingiiza ni shanga aza likugwa pihi.”
"You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one stone will be left here upon another--not thrown down."
3 Nu ng'wenso nai wakatula wikie migulya a lugulu nula mizeituni kituli ki itekeelo, uPetro, Yakobo, Yohana nu Andrea akamukolya ku kinkunku.
He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
4 “Kuile, i makani aya akutula nali? Ingi ntuni i kilingasiilyo nika makani aya kupumila?”
"Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
5 uYsu ai wandilye kuatambuila, “Tuli miakendegeeli kina mntu wihi waleke kumulimilya.
So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.
6 Idu ikapembya ku lina nilane azeligitya 'Unene ng'wenso,' hangi akualimilya idu.
Many will come assuming my name and saying, 'I am He;' and they will mislead many.
7 Ni mikija ulugu nu pwepwe nua uligu, leki kitumbi; makani aya atakiwe kupumila, kuiti i mpelo ikili.
But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.
8 Ihi likunyansuka kikua ni ihi lingiiza, nu utemi nsuta nu utemi. Yikatula ni matetemeko nkika nia kuli ni kuli, hangi nzala. Uwu ingi ng'wandyo nua uwai.
For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
9 Tuli miho. Akumutwala kupikiila mu maanza, hagi mukukuwa mu matekeelo. Mukimikigwa ntongeela a ahumi ni atemi ku nsoko ane, anga ukuiili kitalao.
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.
10 Kuiti i nkani ninza kusinja hanza itanantigwe ku anyaingu ihi.
But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.
11 Ni ikatula amuamba nu kuinkiilya, leki kitumbi kutula iko nimukaligitya. Mukati itungo nilanso, mukinkiiligwa ntuni nika kuligitya; shanga mikatula nyenye ni mikaligitya, ila Ng'wau Ng'welu.
When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Munyandugu ukumusemela u muluna kubulagwa, u tata nu ng'wana nuakwe. iAna akimika nsuta a atata ao hangi kuasasha kubulagwa.
"Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
13 Mukutakiilwa ni kila u muntu ku nsoko a lina nilane. Kuiti nuikagimya kupikiila i mpelo, muntu nuanso ukugunika.
You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.
14 Ni mikihenga utaki nua ubipigwa wimikile pang'wanso ni shanga utakiwe kimika (nukusoma nua linge), papo niamoli mu Yuda amankiile mu malugulu,
"As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not" --let the reader observe these words--"then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;
15 nu ng'wenso nukoli migulya i ito nualeke kusima pihi ito, ang'wi kuhola kihi nikikoli kunzi,
let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;
16 hangi nukoli mu mugunda waleke kusuka kuhola u ng'wenda nuakwe.
and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up his outer garment.
17 Kuiti ukia awo i asungu niakete inda nawa niakonsha mu mahiku nanso!
And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
18 Lompi kina ileke kupumila itungo nila ulyuuku.
"But pray that it may not come in the winter.
19 Kuiti yikatula nu lwago lukulu, naiza lukilikaya kupumila, puma Itunda nai u umbile u unkumbigulu, kupikiila itungili, ishi, ang'wi shanga ikapumila hangi.
For those will be times of suffering the like of which has never been from the first creation of God's world until now, and assuredly never will be again;
20 Kupikiila u Mukulu nuikakepya i mahiku. Kutili u muili nuikagunika, kuiti ku nsoko a asagulwa, nuika asagula, wikakepya i namba nia mahiku.
and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.
21 Matungo nanso anga ize muntu wihi wika mutambuila, 'Goza, uKristo ukoli apa!' ang'wi 'Goza, ukoli apo!' leki kuhuiili.
"At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
22 Kuiti iAkristo nia uteele ni anyakidagu nia uteele akupumila hangi akupumya ilingasiilyo nu ukuilwa, iti kina, amukongele, nsigile ga ni asagulwa.
For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray--if indeed that were possible--even God's own People.
23 Tuli miho! Nakondyaa mutambuila aya ze akili i matungo.
But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything.
24 Kuiyi ze yakilaa u lwago nula mahiku nanso, i lyoa likuikilwa kiti, u ng'weli shanga ukupumya u welu nuakwe,
"At that time, however, after that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light;
25 i nzota yukugwa kupuma kilunde, ni ingulu ni ikoli kilunde yukuhingiika.
the stars will be seen falling from the firmament, and the forces which are in the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
26 Papo ni ikamihenga u Ng'wana wang'wa Adamu upembilye mu malunde ku ngulu nkulu ni ikulyo.
And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Papo ukulagiilya i amalaika akwe hagi ukuilingiila palung'wi i asagulwa akwe kupuma nkika inne ni yihi, kupuma i mpelo nui ihi kupikiila i mpelo ilunde.
Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.
28 Ku mutini imanyisi. Anga itambi nili humile kupumya nu kuika u ukende mu matutu akwe, papo mukulinga kina i kipasu kikoli pakupi.
"Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
29 Uu gwa yili, nimikihenga i makani aya anga apumile, lingi kina ukoli pakupi, ni mimpita.
So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door.
30 Tai, kumuili, uwu u ulelwa shanga ukukila kuli ze akili imakani aya kupumila.
I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
31 Ilunde ni ihi yukukila, kuiti imakani ane shanga akukila lukulu. Kuiti kutula luhiku nulanso ang'wi saa,
Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
32 kutili nulingile, ga nia malaika nia kilunde, ang'wi Ng'wana, ila Tata.
"But as to that day or the exact time no one knows--not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
33 Tuli miho, Gozi, ku nsoko shanga mulingile ingi itungo kii akupumila. (Komaniilya; U lukiili ulu, “Mutule miakendegeeli, Gozeeli hangi lompi ku nsoko .....” umutili mu mbugulu nia kali).
Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen.
34 Ingi anga umuntu nulongoe muhinzo; wakaleka ito nilakwe, nu kumuika u mutuung'wa nuakwe kutula muhumi nu ito, kila ung'wi nu mulimo nuakwe. Nu kumulagiilya u musunja kikie miho.
It is like a man living abroad who has left his house, and given the management to his servants--to each one his special duty--and has ordered the porter to keep awake.
35 Ku lulo tuli miho! Kuiti shanga mulingile ingi nali u mukulu nu ito nuikagomoka ki ito, ihumikile ingi mpindi, utiku nuigingu, itungo nila nsambaligugu ni ikakunkula, ang'wi kidau dau.
Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn.
36 Anga waze kupumpugiilya, waleke kuhanga ulae.
Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep.
37 Iko ni kukiligitya ku kila u muntu; Huguki!”
Moreover, what I say to you I say to all--Be wakeful!"
