Matei 24
1 Yesu awukili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, peavi mukuhamba vawuliwa vaki vambwelili na kumlangisa Nyumba ya Chapanga cheyijengiwi.
And as Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, his disciples came to observe to Him the magnificent buildings.
2 Yesu akavajovela, “Ena, mwihotola kugalola goha aga! Nikuvajovela chakaka, kawaka hati liganga limonga lelisigilila panani ya liganga lingi kila limonga yati litagiwa pahi.”
But Jesus said unto them, Do ye see all these things? Verily I tell you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be demolished.
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 when He was got to the mount of olives, the disciples came to Him in private and said, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu akavayangula, mujiyangalila mundu akotoka kuvakonga.
And Jesus answered them, See that no one deceive 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 shall deceive many.
6 Nambu mwiyuwana malovi ga ngondo na lwami lwa ngondo, nambu mkoto kuyogopa, muni genago goha giganikiwa kuhumila, nambu mwishu wene wakona.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but be not troubled; for all these must indeed come to pass, but the end is not yet.
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 against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in several places:
8 Genago goha yati givya ngati utumbula wa lipyanda la kuvelekewa mwana.
all which are but the beginning of sorrows.
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 afflict you, and kill you; and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name:
10 Lukumbi lwenulo vamahele yati vakuyileka sadika yavi kung'anamukilana na kuyomelana.
and then will many take offense, and betray one another, and hate one another: and many false prophets will rise up and deceive many:
11 Yati vihumila vamlota va udese vamahele yati vakuvakonga vandu vamahele.
and because iniquity shall abound,
12 Ndava ya kuyonjokeseka neju uhakau ndi uganu wa vandu vamahele yati wipungula.
the love of many will grow cold.
13 Nambu mweisindimala mbaka pamwishu ndi mweisanguliwa.
But he that endures to the end, shall be saved:
14 Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoselewa pamilima yoha muni vandu voha vayuwanayi kwakona mwishu kuhika.”
and this gospel of the kingdom of heaven shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end come.
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 desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing at the holy place, (let him, that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:
16 penapo ndi vevavi ku Yudea vajumbalila kuchitumbi.
let not him that is at the top of the house come down into it,
17 Mweavi kunani ya nyumba yaki akotoka kuhuluka kutola chindu munyumba yaki.
to take any thing out of his house;
18 Na mundu mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele, kutola nyula yaki.
nor let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Lukumbi lwenulo vamau mwemuvi na ndumbu na mwemunyong'esa yati mwing'aika neju!
But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days.
20 Ndi mumuyupayi Chapanga kutila kwinu kukotoka kuvya mu ligono la mbepu amala Ligono la Kupumulila!
Pray that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath:
21 Ndava muni lukumbi lwenulo yati kwivya na mang'ahiso gakulu gangahumila kuhuma kutumbula kwa mulima mbaka lelu, katu yihumila lepi kavili.
for there shall be then great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world unto this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 Ngati magono genago yagapungwizwi lepi, kawaka mundu mweasanguliwi, nambu ndava ya vevahaguliwi vala ndi magono genago gapungwizi.
And unless those days be shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
23 “Hinu, magono genago mundu akavajovela, ‘Lola, Kilisitu Msangula!’ ‘Avi apa amala avi pala!’ Mkoto kusadika.
Then if any shall say to you, Behold here is the Messiah, or there; 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 rise up false Christs, and false prophets, who shall shew great signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 Myuwanila, nimali kuvajovela, kwakona lukumbi kubwela.”
Lo, I have told you before-hand: and therefore if they say to you,
26 “Hinu ngati vakavajovelai mlola Kilisitu Msangula, avi kulugangatu, mkotoka kuhamba, amala mlola ajifiyili mugati, mkoto kusadika,
Behold, he is in the desert, go not out: behold, he is the secret chambers, believe them not:
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 cometh from the east, and flashes in an instant even to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28 Pala peuvi mtuhi ndi pagikonganeka manditi.”
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
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.
And immediately after the affliction of those days, the fun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's 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 mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming as 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 will send forth his messengers with a trumpet of a loud voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 “Mujiwula kuhuma mkongo wa mtini, bahapo limbanda laki lakatumbula kumela na kuhomola mahamba, mwimanya kuvya lukumbi lwa kubena luvi papipi.
Now learn a parable from the fig-tree: when it's branch is tender and bringeth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;
33 Mewawa na nyenye pemwilola mambu genago goha chegihumila, mumanya kuvya lukumbi luvi papipi.
so ye also, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near even at the doors.
34 Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku chenichi chipita lepi kwakona mambu genago kuhumila.
Verily I tell you, this generation shall not pass away, till all these be fulfilled.
35 Kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu katu giwuka lepi.”
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not 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 knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only:
37 Ndava muni ngati chayavi lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi mewawa cheyivya peibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
for as the days of Noah were, so shall be also 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 in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 Vamanyili lepi chechahumila mbaka fula yikulu payabweli na kuvayola voha. Ndi yivya mewawa paibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
and knew not of it till the deluge came and took them all away; so shall be also the coming of the Son of man.
40 Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
Then there shall be two in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left:
41 Vamau vavili yati vivya mukuyaga mabenu, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi ilekewa.
and two women grinding at the mill, one taken and one left.
42 Hinu, mujiyangalila! Ndava muni mmanyi lepi ligono la kubwela Bambu winu.
Watch therefore, for ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh:
43 Nambu mumanya lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba kuvya amanyai ligono leibwela mhiji, ngaajitendekili, ngaayileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi na mhiji.
but this ye know, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broke open: therefore be ye also ready;
44 Ndava yeniyo, mewawa nyenye mujitendelekela, muni Mwana wa Mundu yati ibwela lisaa mwangalimanya.”
for the Son of man cometh at a time that ye think not of.
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 servant, whom his lord hath set over his family to give them food in due season?
46 Ahekayi mtumisi yula, mkulu waki akawuya yati akumkolela ihenga mewa.
blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so employed:
47 Nikuvajovela chakaka, mkulu waki yati akumvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuvya myimilila wa vindu vyaki vyoha.
verily I tell you, that he will set him over his whole estate.
48 Nambu ngati mtumisi yula mhakau akahololela mumtima waki kuvya mkulu waki ichelewa kuwuya,
But if that servant be wicked and say in his heart, my master delayeth his coming,
49 kangi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi na kutumbula kulya na kunywa pamonga na vachigaligali.
and begin to beat his fellow-servants, and to revel with drunkards:
50 Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono angalimanya na lisaa angahololela.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doth not expect him, and in an hour which he knows not,
51 Mkulu waki yati akumdumulana neju hipandi na kumvika lilundu limonga na la vandu vevakujikita vabwina kwenuko ndi yati ivemba na kuyaga minu.”
and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with hypocrites: where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
