Mateu 24
1 Jeeso chaa vaalyi kuzwa mu itempere nna lyi yendeere. Varutwana vaakwe cho kuiiza kwaalyi choku taanga nni va mucho kuti mane u vweene muzaako we iiyi itempere.
And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and His disciples came near to show Him the buildings of the temple,
2 Mmi iiye nnaa ve itava nnaati, “mu weene zoonse iisi zintu? Aaho nni mulwiirite, ka kwiina ivwe lyeeti nnilyi waanike nni lyiina he iwulu lye lyimwe muku rutunuka.”
and Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly I say to you, there may not be left here a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”
3 Mmi cho usii keere he iruundu lye ziteente, varutwana vaakwe choku iiza kwaalyi voonse cho kulyi kuungula nniva mu vuuza kuti, “Tu lwiire kuti zoonse iizi zintu kazi pangahalye vulye? Chishupo cho kuiiza kwaako ka yive iinzi mane nne mamanimani e inkaanda?” (aiōn g165)
And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jeeso nna vee tava nnaati, “Mu tokomere kuti saanzi nni kuvi nne yeeti nna mu cheengerere. Ka kuti vaangi ka veeze mu izina lyaangu.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Take heed that no one may lead you astray,
5 Mane kava kucho kuti, 'Njeeme Kirisiti,' mmi kava ziyeza- chengerere vantu vaangi choku va soha.
for many will come in My Name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray,
6 Mmi kamu zuwe inkoondo nne mahulyuhulyu aayo ku zwaaho mu vone kuti saanzi nni mukatezehi, ka kuti iizi zintu zoonse zi lukeere ku pangahala; mmi mamanimani keeti nni a ku sikite.
and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 Mane inkaanda ka zilyi lwiisa nne mivuso ka yilyi saamdukire. Mmi ka kuve inzala nne ku nyanganya kwe inkaanda mu zivaka zi saa swani.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places;
8 Mmi iizi zintu zoonse kazi ku veere mataangiro o ku sasama koku hwizumuka.
and all these [are the] beginning of travails;
9 Lyiinu njeeti nni va mu swiisikize kuku katazwa nne ku ihayiiwa. Kamu toyeewa nne inkaanda zoonse che ivaka lye izina lyaangu.
then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My Name;
10 Ku zwaaho vaangi kava chuunchune choku taanga nni valyi wuza nne kulyi toya.
and then will many be stumbled, and they will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 Vaporofita vaangi va mapa ka vave kwa teni mmi choku soha vantu vaangi.
And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray;
12 Ka kuti vuvilaala kavu ku injihite chisemo cha vantu vaangi ka chitoontolye.
and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold;
13 Mmi iiye yeeti nnalyi koza mbwiita ku mamanimani njeeti nna hazwa.
but he who endured to the end, he will be saved;
14 Uuwu mulayeza wo muvuso woku iwulu kawu kutazwa mu inkaanda yoonse kuva vupaki mu inkaanda yoonse, ku zwaaho mamanimani njeeti nni eeze.
and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.
15 Chiingi lyiinu, chini mwaa vona chiina ikwe chi zakununa, chaa waamba chaacho muporofita Danyeere, nni chi zimeene ha jolola (a yoo vala a lyemuhe),
Whenever, therefore, you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
16 A yo wiina mwa Judiya a ngombweere ku maruundu,
then those in Judea—let them flee to the mountains;
17 yo wiina he iwulu lye inzuvo saanzi a suuki he iwulu lyaayo kuti a ka hiinde chimwe mukati ka teni,
he on the housetop—do not let him come down to take up anything out of his house;
18 mane nnaaye yo wiina mu inkaanda saanzi a voolyi a ka hiindi chizwaato.
and he in the field—do not let him turn back to take his garments.
19 Mmi ku mayivite aavo ve mmiinsi nne vanyoonsa inkeke mwaawo mazuva!
And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
20 Mu rapere kuti ku ngombola kweenu saanzi nni kuvi ha malyiha kamba lwe Nsavata.
and pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
21 Ka kuti ka ku kwiina manyaando makaando mwaawo mazuva a chita kuti inkaanda chiinga yi vaati yi kuva ka eeni kuva ha teni mane nne kuti keeti nni a voolye nni ave kwa teni hape.
for there will then be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor may be.
22 Kwaanda kuti aawo mazuva a hunguzwa, nni ku sana ku vaavi muntu yeeti nna va hazwa. Mmi kuya cha va salyitwa a a mazuva ka a fwiiswa.
And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen will those days be shortened.
23 Mmi lyiinu haiva zumwe vulyo ka a kucho kuti Kirisiti zunuu hanu kamba zuna kuna, saanzi nno zumini.
Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;
24 Ka kuti va Kirisiti nne vaporofita va mapa ka veeze nni va panga imboniso inkaando mane nne zi komosa ziingi a hulu, kuti va woolye ku ziyeza, chiku woolyeka mane nne va salyitwa.
for there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
25 Mu vone nna mulwiira inako nni yi seeni ku sika.
Behold, I told you beforehand.
26 Chiingi lyiinu, nnaangati kava mucho kuti, mu lolye u waanika ku chikwa, mane saanzi nni muyi kwa teni, Kamba mu vone wiina mu inzuvo, yo mukati, saanzi nni mu zumini.
If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness, you may not go forth; Behold, in the inner chambers, you may not believe;
27 Mmi siina mumini muwu minika ku vuzwa vwee zuva, mane choku ka voneka nne ku vuimino, nne ku iiza ko mwaana wo muntu naako mweeti nni kuve.
for as the lightning comes forth from the east, and appears to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
28 Ka kuti koonse ku waanika chituunta ko kooko makuuvi nku a kunganera.
for wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together.
29 Mmi vulyo hoo hwaaho ku mamanimani a masukuluka eeyo inako izuva keeti nni lyi kusii zwiisa iseri, nne mweezi nnaawo, inkaani nnaazo ka ziwe ku iwulu, mane nne ziho ze iwulu nnaazo ka zinyungooswa.
And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
30 Lyiinu chishupo cho mwaana wo muntu njeeti nni chi voneke mu iwulu, ku zwaaho mishovo yoonse ya vantu ve inkaanda njeeti nni va lyire. Ka va vone mwaana wo muntu nna keeza mu makope e iwulu nne che ziho nne ku vereenga ku kaando.
and then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the tribes of the earth strike the breast, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven, with power and much glory;
31 Mmi kaa tume mangiloyi aakwe cho mulyumo mukaando we intorombita, mmi kava kunganya aavo va salyitwa mu zivaka zoone zo luhuho ku mamanimani e iwulu kuya ku amwi.
and He will send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof.
32 Mulyi tute ituto ku ibola, ho hwaaho vulyo ibola chilyi taanga ku zwiisa tutavi nne makova mahiya, chipeto chi mwee ziva kuti imbumbi chi yiina ha fwihi.
And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when its branch may have already become tender, and it may put forth the leaves, you know that summer [is] near,
33 Lyiinu he iwulu lyaaho chini mwaa vona iizi zintu zoonse, nni mu izive kuti cho wiina ha fwihi, heene vulyo ha mulyaango.
so also you, when you may see all these, you know that it is near—at the doors.
34 Aaho nni mulwiirite, iichi chivaka keeti nni chi hite mbwiita iizi zintu zoonse zi pangahalye.
Truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all these may come to pass.
35 Iwulu nne inkaanda kazi mane mmi manzwi aangu aawo keeti nni a mane.
The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36 Mmi kuya che iilyo izuva nne inako ka kwiina yo wiizi, mane nnaangati mangiloyi e iwulu, kamba mwaana, mbwiita Taayo vulyo.
And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except My Father only;
37 Siina mu inako za Noah muku veena nne zo kuiiza ko mwaana wo muntu mweeti nni kuve.
and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;
38 Mmi siina mwaawo mazuva muunda chiwu seeni kuva ha teni va vaalyi kulyia nni va nywa, kusesa nne ku sesesa mbwiita Noah chiinga e nijra mu iyareka,
for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark,
39 nni va vula kuiiziva chimwe vulyo mbwiita muunda chiinga weeza kuva hiinda voonse vulyo—mane nne kuiiza ko mwaana wo muntu mweeti nni kuve.
and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Lyiinu vakwaame voovere ka va kwiina mu luwa—wu mwiina kaa hiindwa wu mwiina choku shaala.
Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left;
41 Vakulwaakazi voovere kava ku twa—wu mwiina kaa hiindwa wu mwiina kaa shaalye.
two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.
42 Chiingi lyiinu mu ikalye nni mu lyiisiiza ka kuti ka mwiizi kuti Simwiine weenu u keeza lyiiri.
Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes;
43 Mmi mu izive iichi, kuti kalyi si inzuvo u woola ku iziva kuti musa mweeze ku yiva inako iinzi ya masiku, keeti choo siyirira musa kuti zaa yive mu inzuvo yaakwe nna sa yi lyiisi.
and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;
44 Chiingi nnaanwe mu lukeere ku ikala nni mu lyivereere, ka kuti ka mwiizi inako yo mwaana wo muntu yaa keeza chaayo.
because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.
45 Chiingi lyiinu njeeye iini iiye muhikaana yoo sepahala nne yoo kwanine yeeti nnaati simwiine waakwe haa mu siya he inzuvo yaakwe kaa he vahikaana vamwe zilyio che inako yi swaneezi?
Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
46 Mmi kwiina mikoonde kwaalyi iiye muhikaana yeeti nna waanike nna kweete ku panga voovo vulyo.
Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
47 Aaho nni mulwiirite uuzo simwiine kaa mu hiinde choku mu viika mu maziimo o ku vavalyera inzuvo yoonse vulyo.
truly I say to you that he will set him over all his substance.
48 Mmi lyiinu muhikaana yoo fosaheere kaa lyi lwiire mu inkulo yaakwe, 'simwiine waangu u ka lyiehete,'
And if that evil servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
49 mane choku taanga nna kava vamwe vahikaanakunine, cho kulyia nne kunywa nne vachaakolwa.
and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,
50 Mmi simwiine woozo muhikaana keeze che izuva nne inako yaa sa lyivereere.
the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour of which he does not know,
51 Lyiinu simwiine waakwe njeeti nna mu kosolye ha kati, choku mu panga siina muva ihayirwa vaitimukanyi, kweeti nni ku kwiina ku boonda nne ku lyira inkuunkuma.
and will cut him off, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
