< Luka 21 >

1 Jesu ha lola aba boni bafumi niba bika impo zabo mwi citanda.
And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;
2 A ba boni mwanakazi yo fwililwe yo nyandite habika tuhafu twe pene.
but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.
3 Chawamba, Zeniti nami bona, Uzu mwanakazi yo fwililwe wa zwisa kumihita.
And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
4 Mubonse mwa zwisa impo zenu, Kono uzu mwanakazi ya sena chakwe wa mihita ka kuli waleta zonse zakakwete mubu njebwe bwakwe.
for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts [of God]; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.
5 Bamwi ba bali ku wamba Inkeleke mwiba kabisezwe ka bukwala ni mavwe ni mpo, cawamba.
And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,
6 Kwezo zintu zimubwene, inako mwikeze kakwina ivwe lyete nilishale kulimwi nilisawi”.
[As to] these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.
7 Chiba mubuza kuti muluti, Izo kazi tendahale lili? Hape chisupo chete chitondeze kuti kazi tendahale?
And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going to take place?
8 ce taba; mumamele, kanzi muchengwa. Bangi kabeze che zina lyangu, Nokucho kuti; Njime kreste, inako chiya chuta, kono kanji mubechilili.
And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he], and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not [therefore] after them.
9 Ha muzuwa inkondo ni kuli sandukila, Kanji mutiyi, Izo zintu kazi pangahali pili, kono kanji ma mani mani.
And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.
10 Chawamba kubali; Masika kalwise masika amwi; Mushobo ni mushobo kabalwe.
Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11 Izikinyebo ikando mwi kanda iboneke, Nilufu lungi muzibaka zingi, Ni zala, Nizitiza, Ni zikomosa zikando zizwa kwe lreeza kwi wulu.
there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12 Izi, ni ziseni kwiza, Bantu kaba milwise kamayaza, Bami sukulule niku mikwitila mu masinagoge, ni mwi tolongo, bami twale kuba simwine, niku ba atuli bezintu kebaka lyezina lyangu.
But before all these things they shall lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering [you] up to synagogues and prisons, bringing [you] before kings and governors on account of my name;
13 Izo kazi mizile kuti muwambe buniti.
but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.
14 Aho muli lemuhele mwi inkulo zenu, kuti kanji mulitukisezi pili zete muli tabilile kazo.
Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand [your] defence,
15 Mukuti ime kanimihe mamzwi ni butali, kuti bami lwisa bakangwe kumi taba ni kumi kananisa.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.
16 Kamu betekwa niku bazazi benu, niba kwaluzubo benu, niba likani benu, kabe haye bamwi kwenu.
But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death [some] from among you,
17 Imi kamu toiwe bantu bonse ibaka lyezina lyangu.
and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.
18 Imi ka kwina nanta lusuki lu mwina lwete nilu shale kumitwi yenu.
And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.
19 Kamu haze ihuho zenu kaku kola kwenu.
By your patient endurance gain your souls.
20 Chimwa bona Jerusalema izimbukitwe masole mwizibe kuti kuza kunuka kwayo chiku chunine.
But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.
21 linu, bena kwa Judea batilile ku malundu; Bena mu munzi bazwe mo'imi bena mwi kanda kanji bazwimo, ku bolela ku munzi.
Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;
22 Mukuti inako yaku bozekeza bantu bubi bwabo, kuti ziñoletwe zi boneke zose.
for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.
23 Bukabo kabwizile banakazi ba lihindite niba nyosa mwao mazuba; ka kuti bukabo bukando ka bube kwa nteni mwi kanda; imi bukali kabu sukile abo bantu.
But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.
24 Mubawe kabu kali bwe sumo, kaba hapwe batwalwe kubantu bonse, imi jelusalema ka lyatolwe kube kanda mane ba maninine.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of [the] nations until [the] times of [the] nations be fulfilled.
25 Zisupo kazi boneke hezuba ni mwezi ni nkani; imi mwi kanda mahasi kahwilwe niku njanja kebaka lya mawate ni masunda.
And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity [at] the roar of the sea and rolling waves,
26 Bantu kaba zumininine kebaka lyo kutiya niku lindila zete zize mwi kanda; ka kuti zina ziho zo kwi wulu muzi nyanganye.
men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 Imi kaba bone Mwana wo Muntu heti chokeza mu makope ke ziho ni kanya ikando.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Izo chizatanga kwiza; mu loleze menso kwi wulu, Imi muinuke; ka kuli kulukululwa kwenu chi kwina hafwihi.
But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.
29 Cha ba wambila inguli, Chati' mubone i samu lye feiga ni zisamu zimwi.
And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;
30 Hali tumpa makoba, Imi mwi ziba ni kulemuha kuti imbumbi chiina hafuhi.
when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, [on] looking [at them], that already the summer is near.
31 Ka mukwa wina bulyo, ne nwe, hamu bona izo chizi keza, mwina no kwi ziba kuti mubuso we Ireeza chi wina hafuhi.
So also ye, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Kabuniti ni wamba kwenu, ulu luzubo kete lumane, zonse zi seni ku tendahala.
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.
33 Iwulu kali mane ni kanda bulyo; mi manzwi angu kete ni a mane.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
34 Imi mu mamele inkulo zenu kanji zi lyanganiswa kulya kwenu, niku kolwa mutoho, niku bilela zo buhalo.
But take heed to yourselves lest possibly your hearts be laden with surfeiting and drinking and cares of life, and that day come upon you suddenly unawares;
35 mane ilyo izuba kali miwane kamu litukise; MU kuti kachiwile bonse bazakite mwi kanda yonse.
for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Mi he, mutonde mulapele inako yonse, ili kuti mukole ni kubanduka kwezo zonse zete nizi boneke, ni kwa kwe habusu bwa Mwana Muntu.
Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Jesu abali kulutanga musihali mwi nkeleke imi masiku aba kuzwanga niku ka lindila hachi wulu chisumpwa ze samu lya olive.
And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called [the mount] of Olives;
38 Imi chichaba chonse chibali kwiza kakusasani mwi nkeleke kuku mutekeleza.
and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
