Luka 21
1 Yesun atilinga am'bweni analome matajiri, bababile kababika zawadi yabe mu akiba.
Looking up He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasure chest.
2 Amweni ywa wilikwe yumo maskini kabika senti yake ibele.
But He also saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 Nga nyo ngabaya kweli wendakuwabakia, hayu ngwelekwa maskini abika yanambone kuliko benge boti.
So He said: “I tell you truly that this poor widow put in more than all of them;
4 Haba boti bapiyite bayi zawadi buka katika yanambone yababile nayo, lakini hayu n'gwelekwa katika umaskini wake, apiyite mbanje yoti yabile nayo kwaajili ya lama kwake,”
because all these others put in gifts for God out of their abundance, but she, out of her destitution, put in all she had to live on.”
5 Wakati wenge pababile kababaya usu hekalu, namna mwalibile litipambilwe na maliwe yananoga ni matoleo atibaya,
Then, as some were admiring the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,
6 “Kwa habari ya makowe aga mwamugabona, machuba gaicha ambayo ntopo liwe limo ambalo lalekelwa panani ya liwe lyinge ambalo lya bomolelwa kaa,”
“These things that you see—the days will come in which not one stone will be left upon another that will not be thrown down.”
7 Nga nyoo, batikunnokia babayite, “Mwalimu, makowe aga gapita lichuba gani? namani yabaa ishara kwamba aga makowe gai karibu pitya.
So they asked Him, saying: “Teacher, so when will these things be?” and “What will be the sign when these things are about to happen?”
8 Yesu ayangwi, “Mube aangalifu kwamba kana mukongelwe, kwa sababu baingi baicha kwa lina lyangu, kababaya Nenga nga naywembe, ni muda utikaribia.'kana muakengame.
So He said: “Be careful, so as not to be deceived, because many will come in my name saying: ‘I am’ and ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore do not go after them.
9 Mana muyowine vita ni vurugu vurugu kana mwayogope, kwa sababu aga makowe agapiti kwanza lakini mwisho wapitya kwaa upesi.”
But whenever you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; because these things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Kai ababakiye, Taifa lakakatuka kumbwana ni taifa lenge, ufalme ni ufalme wenge.
Then He said to them: “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Pabaa ni malendemo makulu, ni njala ni tauni katika maeneo mbalembale bapaa matukio yatisha ni ishara yatisha buka kumaunde.
And there will be severe earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 Lakoni kabla makowe aga goti, babika maboko gabe panani yinuni kubatesa kubapelekanga mu'masinagogi ni mumagereza, kunneta nnongi ya ufalme ni bene mamlaka kwasababu ya lina lyangu.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name.
13 Ayii ipakunyoghulyanga mwenga nafasi kwa ushuhuda winu.
But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
14 Kwaiyo muamue mumyoyo yinu aandaa kwaa kwinu mapema,
So settle it in your hearts not to practice giving a defense beforehand;
15 Kwasababu nampea maneno aga hekima, ambago adui zinu boti bawecha kwaa kuipinga au kuikana.
because I will give you a mouth and wisdom such that all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or withstand.
16 Lakini mwa kanilwa kae ni azazi binu anunabinu, alongo binu ni mabwiga ni bapakumulaga baadhi yinu.
You will be betrayed even by parents and relatives, friends and ‘brothers’; and they will put some of you to death.
17 Mwatolelwa ni kila yumo kwa sababu ya lina lyangu.
And you will be hated by all because of my name.
18 Lakini ntopo hata unywi kwaa umo wa mitwe yinu waupala oba.
(Not even one hair of your head will be wasted
19 Katika vumilia mwaipanga nafsi yinu.
—you must secure your souls by your endurance.)
20 Pampala bona Yerusalemu baitindiike majeshi, basi mutange kwamba ualibifu wake ukalibiye.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Hapo balo babile Yudea babutukii muitumbii, ni balo bababile pakatikati ya jiji babuke, ni kana mwaleke bababile muijiji jingya.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let those who are in the city get out, and let those who are in the country not enter her.
22 Mana aga nga machuba ga kisasi, linga kwamba makowe goti gagaandikilwe gapate timya.
Because these are days of vengeance, that all the written things may be fulfilled.
23 Ole kwa balo bene ndumbo ni kwa balo babayongeya katika machuba aga! kwa maana pabaa ni tabu nkolo muilambo ni nyongo kwa bandu haba.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing babies in those days! There will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24 Ni batumbuka kwa ncha ya lipanga na batolelwa mateka kwa mataifa goti, ni Yerusalemu yalibatilwa ni bandu ba mataifa, mpaka wakati wa bandu ba mataifa paupala timilika.
Yes, they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 Yapanga ni ishara katika liumu, mwei ni ndondwa. Ni katika ilambo papabaa ni dhiki ya mataifa, katika kata tamaa bukana lilobe lya habari ni mawimbi.
“There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, at the roaring and tossing of the sea;
26 Panga ni bandu kabainduka kwa yogopa ni katika tarajia mambo gagapita duniani. Kwa maana ngupu ya mbingu ya tikwa tikwa.
men fainting from fear and expectation of the things coming on the inhabited earth—because the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Nga bamona mwana wa Adamu kaicha kumaunde katika ngupu ni utikufu mkulu.
Then they will see the Son of the Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Lakini makowe aga gapatumbwa pitya muyimee mukakatuye mitwe yinu kwa sababu kombolelwa kwinu kwanda egelwa karibu.”
Now when these things begin to happen, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
29 Yesu aabakiye kwa mfano, “Muulinge mtini, ni mikongo yoti.
Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30 Paiipuka, mwenda kuiboniya mwabene ni tanga kwamba mpenja tayari ui karibu.
Whenever they are already budding, you see and know by yourselves that summer is now near.
31 Nyonyo, pamona makowe aga kagapitya mwenga mutange ya kuwa ufalme wa Nnongo utikaribiya.
So you also, whenever you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
32 Kweli, nenda kuwabakiya, ubeleko wuno wapeta kwaa, mpaka mambo aga goti mpaka gapita kwaa.
I tell you assuredly, this generation will certainly not pass away until all has happened.
33 Kumaunde ni kilambo gapeta, lakini maneno gangu gapita kwaa kabisa.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 Lkini muilinge mwa bene linga kwamba mioyo ginu kana yalemewa ni ufisadi, ulevi, ni mahangaiko ga maisha aga. Kwa sababu lilo lichoba yabaichilya gafula.
“But keep a watch on yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of life, and that Day come upon you suddenly.
35 Kati ntego, kwa sababu yabaa kwa kila yumo ywaishi katika kuminyo ya kilambo choti.
Because it will come like a trap upon all those who dwell on the surface of the whole earth.
36 Lakini mube tayari wakati woti, mulobe kwamba mwaba imara ya kutosha kugaepuka aga goti pagapita, na yima nnongi ya mwana wa Adamu.”
So be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to happen and to stand before the Son of the Man.”
37 Nga nyo wakati wa mutwekati abile kafundisha muhekalu ni kiloo apitike panja ni yenda keleka katika kitumbi chakikemelwa cha Mizeituni.
In the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called ‘of Olives.’
38 Bandu boti bamwichi kwaa kindai na mapema linga kumpikaniya nkati ya hekalu.
Then early in the morning all the people would come to Him in the temple to hear Him.
