Maluko 13
1 Yesu peahumayi mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki amjovili, “Muwula, lola maganga na majengu aga chegavili gabwina na kukangasa!”
Then as He was going out from the temple, one of His disciples said to Him: “Teacher, just look! Such stones, such buildings!”
2 Yesu akamyangula, “Wu, ukugalola majengu aga zivaha? Kawaka liganga hati limonga lelisigalila panani ya liganga lingi, kila liganga yati ligwisiwa.”
In answer Jesus said to him: “Do you see these great buildings? Here not a single stone will be left upon another; each one will be thrown down.”
3 Yesu paatamili panani ya chitumbi cha Mizeituni kulolokesa Nyumba ya Chapanga, Petili na Yakobo na Yohani na Andelea vakamkota pevavi ngavene,
Then as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked Him privately:
4 “Tijovela mambu genago yati gihumila ndali? Na ulangisu woki weulangisa kuvya mambu aga gavi papipi kuhumila?”
“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign whenever all these things are about to be fulfilled?”
5 Yesu akatumbula kuvajovela, “Mujiyangalilayi mundu akotoka kuvakonga.”
So by way of an answer to them Jesus began by saying: “Take care that no one deceives you.
6 Muni vamahele yati vibwela na kulihengela liina langu, kila mundu yati ijova kuvya mwene ndi Kilisitu! Vene yati vakuvakonga vandu vamahele.
Because many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.
7 Pemyuwana gegivala ngondo na vandu vilongelela mambu ga ngondo mkotoka kuvagaya. Yikugagana mambu genaga kuhumila, nambu mwishu wene wakona.
But whenever you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not let it distress you; because happen they must, but the end is not yet.
8 Vandu va mulima umonga yati utovana na vandu va mulima wungi, unkosi umonga yati utovana na unkosi wungi, yati kwiva na mindendemo ya ndima pamonga na njala. Mambu ago ndi ngati utumbula wa lipyanda la kuveleka mwana.
Because nation will be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and tumults. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 Nambu nyenye mjiyangalila. Muni yati vakuvatakila mumabanji ga mihalu, na kutovewa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi. Mewawa yati vakuvapeleka palongolo ya vachilongosi na vankosi ndava ya nene, muni mujova ndava yangu.
“But watch out for yourselves, because they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in synagogues, and you will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.
10 Nambu yiganikiwa hoti lilovi la Bwina likokosewayi kwa vandu voha kwakona mwishu wangahika.
Also, the Gospel must first be proclaimed to all the ethnic nations.
11 Na pamwikamuliwa na kupelekwa mumabanji ga mihalu, mkoto kuhololela chakujova. Lukumbi lwenulo. Nambu mjova chechoha chemwipewa kujova, muni yati gihuma kwa Mpungu Msopi.
Now whenever they lead you away and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand nor premeditate what you will say; rather, whatever is given to you in that hour, speak that, because it will not be you doing the speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Mlongo yati akumng'anamukila mhaja waki akomiwa na dadi yati akumng'anamukila mwana waki, na vana yati vakuvang'anamukila dadi na nyina vavi vakomewayi.
“Further, brother will betray brother to death and a father his child, and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 Vandu voha yati vakuvagana lepi ndava ya liina langu. Nambu mweisindimala mbaka mwishu ndi Chapanga akumsangula kuhuma uhamula wa magono goha gangali mwishu.
And you will be hated by all for my name's sake, yet he who endures to the end, he will be saved.
14 “Pemwilola ‘Yomeso lihakau lelilangisa uhalabisu’ Liyimili pandu pangaganikiwa kuvya.” Mweisoma malovi aga amanyalila. Hinu vevavili ku Yudea na vajumbalila kuchitumbi.
“Now whenever you see the ‘abomination of desolation’, the one spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where he should not”—let the reader understand—“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
15 Mundu mweavili kuvala ya nyumba yaku akotoka kuyingila mugati kutola chindu, nambu atilayi!
Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.
16 Mewawa mundu mweavili kumgunda akotoka kuwuya kunyumba yaki kutola nyula yaki.
Let him who is in the field not return to his things to get his cloak.
17 Niviniswa mtima ndava ya vanandumbu na vevinyong'esa magono ago, ndava yati kwivya na mang'ahiso neju.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
18 Nambu mumuyupayi Chapanga mambu ago gakotoka kuhumila lukumbi lwa mbepu.
And pray that your flight not take place in winter,
19 Muni magono ago yati kwiva na mang'ahiso gakulu, gangahumila kuhuma Chapanga kuwumba mulima mbaka lelu, katu yati gihumila lepi kavili.
because those will be days of affliction such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never again shall be.
20 Ngati Bambu ngagapunguziwi lepi magono kawaka hati mundu mmonga wa kusanguliwa. Nambu ndava ya vahaguliwa vaki, Bambu agapungwizi magono ago.
If the Lord did not cut those days short, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He did shorten the days.
21 Kangi, mundu akavajovela, lolayi, Kilisitu avili apa! Amala, avili pala, mkotoka kusadika.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it;
22 Muni yati vihumalila vakina Kilisitu vaudese na vamlota va udese, yati vikita ulangisu na chinamtiti, ngati yihotoleka ndava ya kuvabudisa hati vahaguliwa va Chapanga.
because false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show signs and wonders so as to even mislead the elect, if that were possible.
23 Nambu nyenye mujiyangalila. Nene nivajovili mambu genaga kwakona gangahumila.
So you watch out! See, I have told you everything in advance.
24 “Nambu pegimalika magono ago ga mang'ahiso, lilanga yati lisopewa chitita na mwehi yati ulangasa lepi.
“But in those days, after that tribulation, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25 Ndondo yati zigwa kuhuma kunani, na vindu vyoha vya kumahundi yati vinyuguswa.
the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.’
26 Penapo yati vakumlola Mwana wa Mundu, ibwela mulihundi kwa makakala gamahele na ukulu.
And then they will see the Son of the Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Ndi yati akuvatuma vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vavalunda vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga, kuhuma pandi mcheche za mulima, na hati kuhuma pandu pa kutali ya mulima woha.”
And then He will send His angels and gather together His elect from the four winds, from earth's extreme point to heaven's extreme point.
28 “Mujiwula kuhuma mumkongo wa mtini. Pemwilola mahamba gimela, nyenye mwimanya kuvya lusenje lwa fula luhegalili.
“Now learn this example from the fig tree: whenever its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, one knows that the summer is near.
29 Mewawa na nyenye pemwilola mambu genago gihengeka, mmanya kuvya Mwana wa Mundu avi papipi neju kuhika.
Even so you also, whenever you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!
30 Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku ichi chipita lepi kwakona mambu aga kuhumila.
Assuredly I tell you that this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Hati ngati kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu yati gihumila ngati chenajovili.”
The heaven and the earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.
32 “Nambu, avi lepi mundu mweimanya ligono la mwishu yati libwela ndali, hati vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, hati Mwana wa Chapanga. Dadi Chapanga ndu mweamanyili.
“Now concerning that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels who are in heaven, not the Son, but only the Father.
33 Mujiyangalila na mujitendekela, muni mumanyili lepi ligono amala lukumbi peluhumila.
Watch! Keep alert! Pray! Because you do not know when that time will be.
34 Yati yivya ngati mundu mweahambi lugendu na kuvalekela vahengaji utalalila, kila mundu na lihengu laki, akumjovela mlonda wa mlyangu avyai mihu.
It is like a man off on a journey, having left his house and given the authority to his slaves, and to each his work; and he commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 Mujitendelekela, ndava muni mmanyi lepi mkolo nyumba iwuya ndali. Pangi yivya kimihi, pagati ya kilu, hambakucha amala lukela.
Therefore be watchful, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming—at evening or at midnight or at cockcrow or early morning—
36 Mujitendelekela, muni ngati abwelili cha kukenyemusa, akotoka kuvakolela mgonili.
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 Genikuvajovela nyenye, nikuvajovela mwavoha. Muvya mihu!”
The things I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
