Mariku 13
1 Yesu pakaweriti kankulawa Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, mfundwa yumu kamgambiriti, “Mfunda Guloli mabuwi aga na numba azi ntambu yaziwera za kulikangashira!”
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 kamgambira, “Hashi, guziwona numba azi ngulu? Kwahera ata libuwi limu halisigali panani pa limonga, kila shintu hashibomolwi.”
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 pakaweriti kalivaga kulugongu lwa Mizeyituni kulolana na Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, su Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani na Andereya wamkosiya pambwega gweka yawu.
Then as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked Him privately:
4 “Gutugambiri vitwatira avi havilawili ndii? Lilanguliru gaa halilanguziyi handa vitwatira avi vyapakwegera kulawira?”
“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign whenever all these things are about to be fulfilled?”
5 Yesu kanja kuwagambira, “Mlikali weri muntu nakiza kukuzyangani.
So by way of an answer to them Jesus began by saying: “Take care that no one deceives you.
6 Wantu wavuwa hawizi pawalitumiya litawu lyaneni, pawalishema, ‘Neni na Kristu!’ Womberi hawawapotuziyi wantu wavuwa.
Because many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.
7 Pampikinira ngondu na tetesutetesu zya ngondu, namuwera na lyoga. Vitwatira avi mpaka vilawiri, kumbiti upeleru weni wankali.
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 Isi yimu hailikomi na isi imonga, ufalumi wumu haulikomi na ufalumi umonga, pahala pavuwa hapaweri na malendemeru na njala. Vitwatira avi gambira pakwanja kutama kwa kulera nonu.
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 “Mwenga mlikali weri! Mana wantu hawawajegeni kumahakama, na kuwakomanga munumba ya Mlungu, Hawawajegi palongolu pa utuwa na wafalumi toziya munjimiriti neni, su mpati kuwagambira visoweru viwagila.
“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 Mpaka huti shisoweru shiwagira shibwerwi kwa Maisi goseri.
Also, the Gospel must first be proclaimed to all the ethnic nations.
11 Nawomberi pawakubateni na kuwajega kumahakama, namlihola kwa galiya gamfira kutakula, shipindi shilii pashiyiza, mtakuli shoseri shakakupananeni, mana mwenga ndiri mwamfira kutakula, ira Rohu Mnanagala.
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 Mlongu hakamgalambuki mlongu gwakuwi kalagwi na tati hakamgalambuki mwana gwakuwi na wana hawawatenduwi walera wawu na kuwalaga.
“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 Wantu woseri hawawakalalireni mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni. Kumbiti ulii yakahepelera mpaka upeleru ndo hakalopoziwi.
And you will be hated by all for my name's sake, yet he who endures to the end, he will be saved.
14 “Pamwona ‘Likalaliru lihalibisiya’ ligoloka pahala pakuwi ndiri, muntu yakabetula kavimani mana yakuwi, panu wantu wawawera Yudeya watugili mumigongu.
“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 Muntu yakaweriti pampindi pashitwiku sha numba nakasuluka kwingira mnumba mwakuwi kutola shintu.
Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.
16 Yakawera mlirambu nakawuya ukaya kutola lihabiti lyakuwi.
Let him who is in the field not return to his things to get his cloak.
17 Shondi shondi wamawu yawawera na yinda na walii yawanoniziya mumashaka galii!
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
18 Mmuluwi Mlungu vitwatira avi navilawira mashaka ga mbepu.
And pray that your flight not take place in winter,
19 Mana kupeluwa kwa shipindi ashi hakongeleki nentu kweni lawiri kwanjira Mlungu pakanyawiti isi mpaka leru, hapeni ilawiri kayi.
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 Handa Mtuwa mekapunguli ndiri mashaka aga kwahera muntu hakalopolwi. Kumbiti su kwajili ya wasyagulwa wakuwi, Mtuwa kapungula mashaka aga.
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 “Su muntu pakawagambirani, ‘Guloli, Kristu kapanu!’ Ama ‘Ka palii!’ Namjimira.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it;
22 Mana hawalawili ashina Kristu wa upayira na mambuyi wa upayira, hawatendi malangaliru na mauzauza, su kuwapotuziya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu handa payiwezikana.
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 Su mwenga mlikali weri. Neni nukugambirani vitwatira vyoseri pamberi vyenilawiri.
So you watch out! See, I have told you everything in advance.
24 “Mashaka aga, pagapera kala, mshenji hagutulwi luwindu na lyezi hapeni lilangali.
“But in those days, after that tribulation, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25 Ntondu hazituluki kulawa kumpindi na makakala ga kumpindi hagazitikiziyi.
the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.’
26 Panu hawamwoni Mwana gwa muntu pakiza mumawundi na likakala likulu pamuhera na ukwisa.
And then they will see the Son of the Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Shakapanu hakawatumi wantumintumi wa kumpindi wawajojiniri wasyagulwa wakuwi kulawa wega zoseri zya musheshi za pasipanu, kulawa upeleru wa pasipanu mpaka upeleru wa mpindi.
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 “Mleki mtera gwa mkuyu guwafundi. Mitambi ya mitera payanja kunama na kutomola mahamba, muvimani kuwera shipindi sha kutowa vula shapakwegera.
“Now learn this example from the fig tree: whenever its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, one knows that the summer is near.
29 Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga pamwona vitwatira avi vyankulawira, muvimani handa shipindi shapakwegera nentu.
Even so you also, whenever you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!
30 Nakaka nukugambirani, shiyiwuku ashi shankupita ndiri pamberi pa vitwatira vyoseri avi kulawira.
Assuredly I tell you that this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Mpindi na isi hapeni zipiti, kumbiti visoweru vyangu su hapeni vipiti.
The heaven and the earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.
32 “Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakavimana lishaka wala shipindi, ama ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, ama Mwana, ira Tati gweka yakuwi ndo mweni yakavimana.
“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 Mloli weri na mshenjeri, mana muvimana ndiri shipindi hashi hashisoki ndii.
Watch! Keep alert! Pray! Because you do not know when that time will be.
34 Hayiweri handa muntu yakawuka ukaya kugenda mwanja pakawalekera wantumintumi wakuwi, kila yumu na lihengu lyakuwi. Shakapanu kamgambira mlolera mlyangu kaweri masu.
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 Su mulikali masu, toziya muvimana ndiri mweni kaya hakawuyi ndii, pamonga pamii ama pashiru ama mandawira putiputi.
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 Handa pakiza lindimu nakawawona mgonja.
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 Ganawagambirani mwenga, nuwagambira wantu woseri, ‘Mshenjeri!’”
The things I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
