Matei 24
1 Yesu awukili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, peavi mukuhamba vawuliwa vaki vambwelili na kumlangisa Nyumba ya Chapanga cheyijengiwi.
And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2 Yesu akavajovela, “Ena, mwihotola kugalola goha aga! Nikuvajovela chakaka, kawaka hati liganga limonga lelisigilila panani ya liganga lingi kila limonga yati litagiwa pahi.”
And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.
3 Yesu peatamili panani ya chitumbi cha mizeituni, vawuliwa vamhambili pachiepela, vakamkota, “Utijovela mambu ago yati gihumila ndali?” Ulangisu woki weulangisa kubwela kwaki na pamwishu wa mulima? (aiōn g165)
And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age? (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu akavayangula, mujiyangalila mundu akotoka kuvakonga.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.
5 Ndava muni vamahele yati vibwela kwa liina langu, yati vijova nene ndi Kilisitu Msangula! Na kuvakonga vandu vamahele.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
6 Nambu mwiyuwana malovi ga ngondo na lwami lwa ngondo, nambu mkoto kuyogopa, muni genago goha giganikiwa kuhumila, nambu mwishu wene wakona.
But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.
7 Vandu va mulima umonga yati vitovana na mulima wungi, unkosi umonga yati utovana na unkosi wungi. Kuni na kula yati kwivya na njala na mindendemo ya ndima.
For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 Genago goha yati givya ngati utumbula wa lipyanda la kuvelekewa mwana.
But all these [are the] beginning of throes.
9 “Kangi yati vakuvagotola mung'aiswa na kukomiwa. Yati mwivya vandu va kuyomewa na vandu va milima yoha ndava ya kunisadika nene.
Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.
10 Lukumbi lwenulo vamahele yati vakuyileka sadika yavi kung'anamukilana na kuyomelana.
And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
11 Yati vihumila vamlota va udese vamahele yati vakuvakonga vandu vamahele.
and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
12 Ndava ya kuyonjokeseka neju uhakau ndi uganu wa vandu vamahele yati wipungula.
and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
13 Nambu mweisindimala mbaka pamwishu ndi mweisanguliwa.
but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
14 Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoselewa pamilima yoha muni vandu voha vayuwanayi kwakona mwishu kuhika.”
And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
15 “Hinu pemwilola ‘Chindu chechiyomesa’ Chechijoviwi na Danieli mweavi mlota wa Chapanga liyimili pandu Pamsopi pa Nyumba ya Chapanga,” Mweisoma na amanyai,
When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand, )
16 penapo ndi vevavi ku Yudea vajumbalila kuchitumbi.
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 Mweavi kunani ya nyumba yaki akotoka kuhuluka kutola chindu munyumba yaki.
let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
18 Na mundu mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele, kutola nyula yaki.
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 Lukumbi lwenulo vamau mwemuvi na ndumbu na mwemunyong'esa yati mwing'aika neju!
But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
20 Ndi mumuyupayi Chapanga kutila kwinu kukotoka kuvya mu ligono la mbepu amala Ligono la Kupumulila!
But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
21 Ndava muni lukumbi lwenulo yati kwivya na mang'ahiso gakulu gangahumila kuhuma kutumbula kwa mulima mbaka lelu, katu yihumila lepi kavili.
for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;
22 Ngati magono genago yagapungwizwi lepi, kawaka mundu mweasanguliwi, nambu ndava ya vevahaguliwi vala ndi magono genago gapungwizi.
and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.
23 “Hinu, magono genago mundu akavajovela, ‘Lola, Kilisitu Msangula!’ ‘Avi apa amala avi pala!’ Mkoto kusadika.
Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.
24 Muni yati vihumila vakina Kilisitu vangi va udese na vamlota va udese. Yati vihenga ulangisu uvaha na gachinamtiti muni vavakonga yikahotoleka hati vevahaguliwi na Chapanga.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
25 Myuwanila, nimali kuvajovela, kwakona lukumbi kubwela.”
Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Hinu ngati vakavajovelai mlola Kilisitu Msangula, avi kulugangatu, mkotoka kuhamba, amala mlola ajifiyili mugati, mkoto kusadika,
If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it].
27 Ndava kubwela kwa Mwana wa Mundu yati kulolekana ngati lumuli lwa mbamba chelumweta kuhuma kwe lihumila lilanga mbaka kwe litipama lilanga.
For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Pala peuvi mtuhi ndi pagikonganeka manditi.”
[For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
29 “Bahapo pegimalika mang'ahiso ga magono ago, lilanga yati lisopiwa chitita, mwehi lwalava lepi na lumuli, ndondo yati zigwa kuhumila kunani kumahundi, na makakala vindu vevivi kunani yati vinyugusika.
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
30 Kangi, ulangisu wa Mwana wa Mundu yati yiwonekana kunani, ndi penapo makabila goha ga pamulima apa yati givembeneka kumuyupa Chapanga, yati vakumlola Mwana wa Mundu ibwela kuhuma kunani ku mahundi avi na makakala na ukulu neju.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Lwami luvaha lwa lipenenga yati luyuwanika, mwene akuvatuma vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga na kuhamba kuvakemela vala voha vevahaguliwi na Chapanga, kuhuma pandi zoha mcheche za mulima, kuhuma mwishu umonga wa pamulima mbaka mwishu uwu wungi.”
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.
32 “Mujiwula kuhuma mkongo wa mtini, bahapo limbanda laki lakatumbula kumela na kuhomola mahamba, mwimanya kuvya lukumbi lwa kubena luvi papipi.
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
33 Mewawa na nyenye pemwilola mambu genago goha chegihumila, mumanya kuvya lukumbi luvi papipi.
Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
34 Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku chenichi chipita lepi kwakona mambu genago kuhumila.
Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.
35 Kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu katu giwuka lepi.”
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
36 “Nambu kulivala ligono amala lisaa lenilo, avi lepi mundu mwaimanya lubwela ndali, hati vamitumu va kunani amala Mwana. Nga Dadi mwene ndi mweimanya.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.
37 Ndava muni ngati chayavi lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi mewawa cheyivya peibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
38 Muni lusenje lwenulo kwakona kutonya fula yikulu, vandu vakalilya na kunywa, na vigega na kugegewa, mbaka lukumbi Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha weukemiwa Safina.
For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,
39 Vamanyili lepi chechahumila mbaka fula yikulu payabweli na kuvayola voha. Ndi yivya mewawa paibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;
41 Vamau vavili yati vivya mukuyaga mabenu, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi ilekewa.
two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
42 Hinu, mujiyangalila! Ndava muni mmanyi lepi ligono la kubwela Bambu winu.
Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.
43 Nambu mumanya lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba kuvya amanyai ligono leibwela mhiji, ngaajitendekili, ngaayileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi na mhiji.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].
44 Ndava yeniyo, mewawa nyenye mujitendelekela, muni Mwana wa Mundu yati ibwela lisaa mwangalimanya.”
Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.
45 Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Wu, yani ndi mtumisi msadikika na mweavi na luhala? Mkulu waki amuvikii kuvayimalila vatumisi vayaki, avapela chakulya pa lukumbi lwaki.
Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?
46 Ahekayi mtumisi yula, mkulu waki akawuya yati akumkolela ihenga mewa.
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.
47 Nikuvajovela chakaka, mkulu waki yati akumvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuvya myimilila wa vindu vyaki vyoha.
Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.
48 Nambu ngati mtumisi yula mhakau akahololela mumtima waki kuvya mkulu waki ichelewa kuwuya,
But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
49 kangi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi na kutumbula kulya na kunywa pamonga na vachigaligali.
and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono angalimanya na lisaa angahololela.
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,
51 Mkulu waki yati akumdumulana neju hipandi na kumvika lilundu limonga na la vandu vevakujikita vabwina kwenuko ndi yati ivemba na kuyaga minu.”
and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
