Luka 21
1 Yesu kalola wega zoseri, kawawona wantu walunda pawatula mafupu gawu mulisanduku lya luhanja Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu,
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 vira virii kamwoniti mkenja muhushu nentu pakatula senti ndidika mbili zya mpiya.
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
3 Kawagambira, “Nukugambirani kuwera nakaka mkenja muhushu ayu kalaviya zivuwa kuliku woseri wamonga.
“I tell you”, he said “that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 Wamonga walaviyiti mafupu gawu galii gagaziditi muulunda wawu, kumbiti muhushu ayu kwa uhushu wakuwi kalaviya vyoseri vyakalitumbiriti.”
for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.”
5 Wantumini wamu waweriti wankutakula kuusu Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, ntambu yawaherepeziya kwa mabuhi gaherepa na mafupu wagalaviyiti kwa Mlungu. Yesu kawagambira,
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6 “Goseri aga gamgalola, shipindi shankwiza peni hapeni lisigali libuwi limu pahala pakuwi, kila shintu hashiharibiwi.”
“As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.”
7 Womberi wamkosiyiti, “mfunda, visoweru avi havilawili ndii? Hashilawiri shishi kutulanguziya kuwera shipindi ashi shankwiza?”
So the disciples questioned Jesus, “But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?”
8 Yesu kawankula, “Mliloli weri, nawawazyangani. Wantu wavuwa hawizi pawatakula shisoweru shangu, hawizi na kulonga, ‘Neni ndo mweni!’ Na ‘Shipindi hashizi!’ Kumbiti namuwafata.
And Jesus said, “See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not follow them.
9 Namtira pampikanira ngondu na ndewu, vintu vyoseri avi mpaka vilawiri kwanja, kumbiti upeleru wa vitwatira avi wankali.”
And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.”
10 Yesu kendereya kutakula, “Isi yimu hailikomangi na isi yimonga, na ufalumi umu haulikomi na ufalumi umonga.
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 Hakuweri na malendemeru makulu ga isi na hakuweri na njala na ulweri wa tawuni pahala poseri, hakuweri na vitwatira vya kutiliziya na lilangaliru likulu kulawa kuliyera.
and there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
12 Pamberi pagalawira goseri aga, hawawabati na kuwatabisiya na hawawajegeni munumba za Mlungu na kuwatula muvibetubetu, hawawajegeni kulongolu kwa wafalumi na wakulu toziya munamini neni.
Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
13 Ayi hayiweri lupenyu lwenu kuvibwera visoweru viwagira.
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 Kumbiti muvimani mumyoyu mwenu, namlihola ntambu ya kujiteteya,
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defense;
15 toziya Namweni neni hanuwapanani mwenga lulimi na luhala vyeni wangondu wenu woseri hapeni wawezi kusindana naga na kugalema gamtakula.
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 Hagugalambukwi na mawu na tati gwaku, na walongu waku, na waganja waku, na wamonga pakati penu hawawalagi.
You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
17 Wantu woseri hawawakalalirani mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
18 Kumbiti hapeni luagamili ata luvili lumu mumituwi mwenu.
Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
19 Muweri pamgangamala mumoyu, hamliponiziyi weni.
By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
20 “Pamwona Yerusalemu guzyengetwa na wangondu, su hamvimani kuwera shipindi shisoka peni isi ayi hayiharabisiwi.
As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
21 Woseri yawalikala Muyudeya watugili mulugongu, woseri yawawera mulushi wawuki, na woseri yawawera mumalambu nawawuya mulushi.
Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
22 Toziya mashaka aga hagaweri ‘Mashaka ga kutoza,’ kulanguziya koseri kwakulembitwi mumalembu Mananagala gatimii.
For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 Shondi shondi wamawu yawawera na yinda na walii yawanoniziya mumashaka galii! Toziya hakuweri na malweri gavuwa muisi, na utoza wa Mlungu hawuwayizili wantu awa.
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
24 Wamonga hawawalagi kwa upanga, na wamonga hawawatuli muvibetubetu muisi zoseri, na hawawatoli lopola mumaisi goseri na Yerusalemu hayitimbwi na wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu mpaka shipindi shawu pashimalilika.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over – as it will be.
25 “Hakuweri na lilangaliru mumshenji, na mulyezi, na muntondu. Pasipanu wantu woseri yawaweriti muisi zoseri hawaweri na uhushu, lyoga lya kulishera kwa mtukuliru gwa makupala ga bahari na mihenyuhenyu yakuwi.
There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
26 Wantu pawafuwa myoyu kwa lyoga, pawalola vitwatira vyeni havilawili pasipanu, makakala ga kumpindi hagatikinyiki.
People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
27 Shipindi shilii Mwana gwa Muntu hakalawili, pakiza mumawingu pakawera na makakala pamuwera na ukwisa mkulu.
Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Vintu avi pavyanja kulawira, mkalamuki na mnyasuli mituwi yenu kumpindi toziya ulopoziwu wenu wapakwegera.”
And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”
29 Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, “Mguloli mtera gwa mkuyu na mitera yamonga yoseri.
Then he taught them a lesson, saying – “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 Pamuwoniti mihamba yankwanja kumera, muvimana kuwera shipindi sha kutowa vula shapakwegera.
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 Ntambu ira ayi, pamwona vitwatira avi vyankulawira, muvimani handa Ufalumi wa Mlungu wapakwegera.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Mliholi kuwera vintu vyoseri havilawili huti pamberi pa wantu woseri yawalikala vinu kuhowa.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Kumpindi na pasi panu hazipiti, kumbiti visoweru vyangu hapeni vipiti.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Mliloleri weri! Namuwera vyambojola bojola, na lukologelu na lyaliya, ama pamlilola weri ndiri lishaka lilii halikwizireni vumu hera,
Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and ‘that day’ will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 gambira mgomiziwu. Toziya haguwayizili kwa wantu woseri yawalikala pahala poseri pasi panu.
For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Mwenga mulikali masu na mumluwi Mlungu mashaka goseri su mpati makakala ga kugenda weri muvitwatira vyoseri vyeni ndo havilawili na kugoloka kulongolu kwa Mwana gwa Muntu.”
Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
37 Mashaka goseri paliwala, Yesu kaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, na pamihi kaweriti kankugenda kulikala mulugongu lwa Mizeyituni.
During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the ‘Mount of Olives.’
38 Kila pamandawila wantu woseri wagenditi Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu kumpikinira.
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
