Matayu 24
1 Yesu kalawiti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pakaweriti kankugenda zakuwi, wafundwa wakuwi wamgenderiti wamlanguziya majengu ga Numba nkulu ya Mlungu.
And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,
2 Yesu kawagambira, “Yina, muweza kugalola goseri aga! Nakaka nuwagambirani, kwahera hata libuwi limu halisigali panu pampindi pa libuwi limonga, kila libuwi haliwusiwi.”
and Jesus said to them, 'Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
3 Yesu pakalivagiti palugongu lwa Mizeyituni, wafundwa wakuwi wamgenderiti kwa bada, su wamkosiya, “Gutugambiri, hashi vitwatira avi havilawili ndii? Na hashilawiri shishi kulanguziya ndo shipindi sha kwiza kwaku na shipindi sha upeleru pasipanu.” (aiōn g165)
And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' (aiōn g165)
4 Yesu kawankula, “Mulikali weri, muntu nakiza kuwapayirani.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray,
5 Wantu wavuwa hawalawili na kulonga kila yumu, ndo Kristu Mlopoziya na hawawazyangi wantu wavuwa.
for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,
6 Hampikaniri kuusu ngondu pakwegera na visoweru vya ngondu, kumbiti namulihola. Toziya vitwatira mpaka vilawiri, kumbiti upeleru weni wankali kwiza.
and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 Isi yimu hailikomangi na isi yimonga na ufalumi wumu hawulikomangi na ufalumi umonga. Panu na palii hapaweri na njala na malendemeru ga isi kila pahala.
'For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;
8 Vitwatila vyoseri avi vilifana gambira kutama pakwanja pakulera mwana.
and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;
9 “Shakapanu hawawalaviyani su wawatabisiyi na kuwalaga. Isi zoseri haziwakalaliri toziya ya litawu lyaneni.
then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;
10 Mushipindi ashi wantu wavuwa hawaleki myoyu yawu, hawagambulikani weni kwa weni na kukalalirana weni kwa weni.
and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
11 Hawalawili wambuyi wa upayira, pawapotuziya wantu wavuwa.
'And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;
12 Su vitwatira vifaa ndiri havyongereki, mafiliru ga wantu wavuwa hauweri tisutisu.
and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;
13 Kumbiti muntu yakahepelera mpaka lupeleru hakalopoziwi.
but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;
14 Na Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Ufalumi wa Mlungu hashibwerwi pasipanu poseri muwukapitawu kwa wantu wa makabila goseri na upeleru hawizi.
and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.
15 “Su, hamuwoni ‘Shintu shidoda shashihalabisiya’ shakatakuliti Danieli mbuyi gwa Mlungu, shigoloka pahala pananagala.” Yakabetula kavimani mana yakuwi!
'Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
16 Panu, yawawera Yudeya su watugili muvigongu.
then those in Judea — let them flee to the mounts;
17 Yakawera pashitwiku sha numba nakasuluka kutola shintu mnumba mwakuwi.
he on the house-top — let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;
18 Yakaweriti kulirambu nakawuya kumbeli kutola nguwu yakuwi.
and he in the field — let him not turn back to take his garments.
19 Shondi shondi wamawu yawawera na yinda na walii yawanoniziya mumashaka galii!
'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
20 Mumluwi Mlungu, su kutuga kwa mwenga nakuwera mashaka ga mpepu ama lishaka lya Kwoyera!
and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;
21 Toziya mushipindi ashi hakuweri na uhushu mkulu ndoweni wankali kulawira, kwanjira kunyawa kwa pasipanu mpaka leru, wala hapeni ilawiri kayi.
for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.
22 Kumbiti Mlungu kagapunguriti kala shiyasi sha mashaka aga, mekatendi ndiri, kwahera muntu yoseri mekalikali. Toziya ya wantu yawasyagulitwi, Mlungu hakagapunguli mashaka aga.
And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.
23 “Su, muntu yoseri pakawagambirani, ‘Guloli Kristu Mlopoziya kapanu’ ama ‘Kapalii!’ Namjimira.
'Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;
24 Hawalawili ashina Kristu wa upayira na wambuyi wa upayira, hawatendi mauzauza makulu na gakulikangasha su wawazyangi payiwezekana ata yawasyagulitwi na Mlungu.
for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
25 Mpikanili! Nuwagambirani pamberi pa shipindi kwiza.
Lo, I did tell you beforehand.
26 “Ama, pawawagambirani, ‘Mloli, ka kushiwala!’ Namgenda aku, ama pawalonga, ‘Mloli, kalififa panu!’ Namjimira.
'If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;
27 Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi gambira gulangala gambira lumeta kulyera kulawa kwagulawa mshenji mpaka kwaguzyeta mshenji.
for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;
28 “Palii paweriti na shashifuwiti, ndo pawajojinika wandapu.”
for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Palaa palii, pa mashaka ga kutabisiya, mshenji haguweri ntiti, na lyezi haliweri ndiri na gulangala na ntondu hazituluki kulawa kulyera na likakala lya kumpindi halilibegizii.
'And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;
30 Shakapanu, lilangaliru lya Mwana gwa Muntu halilawiri kulyera na wantu woseri wa pasipanu hawalili pawamwona Mwana gwa Muntu pakiza mumawundi ga kumpindi pamuhera na makakala makulu.
and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;
31 Mliru mkulu gwa mbalapi hagupikaniki na yomberi hakawatumi wantumintumi wa kumpindi wakuwi muwega za msheshi za pasipanu na hawawajojiniri wantu kulawa lupeleru lumu lwa pasipanu mpaka lupeleru lumonga lwa pasipanu.
and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.
32 “Mleki mtera gwa mkuyu guwafundi. Mitambi ya mitera payiyanja kutomola mahamba, muvimani kuwera shipindi sha kutowa vula shapakwegera.
'And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh,
33 Ntambu ira ayi mwenga pamwona vitwatira vyoseri avi, muvimani handa shipindi shapakwegera nentu.
so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh — at the doors.
34 Muliholi kuwera vitwatira vyoseri avi havilawili pamberi pa kuhowa wantu yawalikala vinu.
Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.
35 Kumpindi kwa Mlungu na pasipanu hazipiti, kumbiti visoweru vyaneni hapeni vipiti.
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Kwahera muntu yoseri yakavimana lishaka ama lisaa paviza, ama wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ama Mwana. Tati gweka yakuwi ndo yakavimana.
'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers of the heavens — except my Father only;
37 Kwiza kwa Mwana gwa Muntu hakuweri gambira shilii shashilawiriti mushipindi sha Nuhu.
and as the days of Noah — so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;
38 Mumashaka galii pamberi pa wantu kuhowa mumafuriku waweriti wankuliya na kulanda, wantu waweriti wankuwayuga na kuyugwa mpaka Nuhu pakingiriti mumtumbwi,
for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,
39 wavimaniti ndiri hashilawiri shishi mpaka mafuliku pagiziti na kuwajola woseri. Ntambu ayi hayiweri pakiza Mwana gwa Muntu.
and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.
40 Shipindi ashi wantu wawili hawaweri mulirambu, yumu hakatolwi na yumonga hakalekwi.
Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;
41 Wadala wawili hawaweri wankusyaga usaka palwala, yumu hakatolwi na yumonga hakalekwi.
two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.
42 “Su gulikali weri, toziya guvimana ndiri lishaka lya kwiza Mtuwa gwenu.
'Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;
43 Handa yakana numba mekavimani shipindi sha kwiza kwa mpoka, mekalikali masu na mekaleki ndiri mpoka kabomolangi numba yakuwi.
and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;
44 Su na mwenga viraa muweri kala, toziya Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi mulisaa lyagulimana ndiri.”
because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.
45 “Yesu kendeleyiti kutakula, Ndo gaa ntumintumi yakaaminika na kana luhala, ndo mtuwa gwakuwi hakamtuli pampindi pa wantu wakuwi, kawapanani shiboga kwa shipindi shakuwi?
'Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
46 Mbaka ntumintumi uliya mweni mtuwa gwakuwi pakiza hakamwoni kankutenda hangu.
Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
47 Nukugambirani nakaka, katamtula ntumini ayu kagolokeri ulunda wakuwi woseri.
verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.
48 Kumbiti handa ndo ntumintumi kadoda, hakaligambiziyi mweni kuwera mtuwa gwakuwi hakashelewi kuwuya,
'And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,
49 na hakanji kuwakomanga wantumintumi wayaguwi na kanja kuliya na kulanda pamuhera na waloweru.
and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,
50 Shakapanu mtuwa gwakuwi ntumintumi ulii pakizaku lishaka lyankali kulimana na shipindi shakashimana ndiri.
the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,
51 Mtuwa hakamwazibu nentu na kumtula shipinga shimu na wafyangu. Aku hakalili na kugayagaya menu gakuwi.”
and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
