Mateo 24
1 Jesu akabuda mutemberi, uye paakanga achifamba kudaro, vadzidzi vake vakaswedera kwaari vakamuratidza dzimba dzetemberi.
And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2 Iye akati kwavari, “Muri kuona zvinhu izvi zvose here? Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti hakuna ibwe richasara pano riri pamusoro perimwe; ose achawisirwa pasi.”
But Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down,
3 Jesu akati agara paGomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari voga vakati, “Tiudzei kuti zvinhu izvi zvichaitika rini, uye kuti chiratidzo chokuuya kwenyu nokuguma kwenyika chichava chei?” (aiōn g165)
And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesu akapindura akati, “Chenjerai kuti murege kunyengerwa nomunhu.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you.
5 Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu vachiti, ‘Ndini Kristu,’ uye vachinyengera vazhinji.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many.
6 Muchanzwa nezvehondo uye neguhu rehondo, asi chenjerai kuti murege kuvhundutswa nazvo. Zvinhu zvakadaro zvinofanira kuitika asi kuguma kunenge kusati kwasvika.
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet.
7 Nokuti rudzi ruchamukira rumwe rudzi noumambo huchamukira humwe umambo. Kuchava nenzara nokudengenyeka kwenyika munzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places.
8 Asi zvose izvi mavambo okurwadziwa pakubereka.
But all these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Ipapo muchaiswa kuna vanokutambudzai mugourayiwa, uye muchavengwa nendudzi dzose nokuda kwangu.
Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and kill you; and you will be hated by all nations on my account.
10 Panguva iyoyo vazhinji vachadzokera shure kubva pakutenda uye vachamukirana vagovengana,
And then will many be ensnared, and they will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
11 uye vaprofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka uye vachanyengera vanhu vazhinji.
and many false prophets will arise, and deceive many;
12 Nokuda kwokuwanda kwokusarurama, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora.
and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold.
13 Asi uyo achatsungirira kusvikira kumagumo, achaponeswa.
But he that endures to the end, shall be saved.
14 Uye vhangeri iri roumambo richaparidzwa munyika yose souchapupu kumarudzi ose, ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the end come.
15 “Saka pamunoona ‘nyangadzi yokuparadza’ yakataurwa nomuprofita Dhanieri, imire panzvimbo tsvene, anoverenga ngaanzwisise,
When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand; )
16 ipapo vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo.
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
17 Uyo ari padenga reimba yake ngaarege kuburuka kuti andotora chinhu chipi zvacho chiri mumba make.
let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house;
18 Ari mumunda ngaarege kudzokera kundotora nguo yake.
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his clothing.
19 Zvichaoma sei mumazuva iwayo kuvakadzi vane mimba navaya vanoyamwisa!
But alas for those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days!
20 Nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuitika panguva yechando kana nomusi weSabata.
Pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath:
21 Nokuti ipapo pachava nenhamo huru isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwenyika kusvika zvino uye haizombovapozve.
for then shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor shall ever be.
22 Dai mazuva iwayo asina kutapudzwa, hapana munhu airarama, asi nokuda kwavasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achatapudzwa.
And unless those days should be made few, no flesh could be saved. But on account of the elect those days shall be made few.
23 Panguva iyoyo, mukanzwa munhu anoti kwamuri, ‘Tarirai, hoyu Kristu!’ kana kuti, ‘Hoyo Kristu,’ musazvitenda.
Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 Nokuti kuchamuka vanaKristu venhema navaprofita venhema avo vachaita zviratidzo nezvishamiso kuti vanyengere kunyange navasanangurwa kana zvichigoneka.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 Tarirai, ndafanokuudzai zvisati zvaitika.
Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Saka kana munhu upi zvake akakuudzai kuti, ‘Tarirai uyo ari kurenje,’ musabuda kuti muendeko kana kuti akati, ‘Tarirai, ari mudzimba dzomukati,’ musazvitenda.
Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 Sezvinoita mheni inopenya kumabvazuva ichionekwawo kumavirira, ndizvo zvichaita kuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Pose pano mutumbi ndipo pachaungana magora.
For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures come together.
29 “Pakarepo shure kwokutambudzika kwamazuva iwayo, “‘zuva richasviba, uye mwedzi hauzovheneki; nyeredzi dzichawa kubva kudenga, namasimba omuchadenga achazungunuswa.’
Immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken.
30 “Ipapo chiratidzo choMwanakomana woMunhu chichaonekwa kudenga, uye ndudzi dzose dzenyika dzichachema. Vachaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya ari mumakore okudenga nesimba nokubwinya kukuru.
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 in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 Uye achatuma vatumwa vake nokurira kwehwamanda kukuru uye vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina dzenyika, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga kusvikira kuno rumwe.
And he will send his angels with a trumpet of great voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 “Zvino dzidzai chidzidzo ichi kubva pamuonde: Panopfava matavi awo uye mashizha awo otungira, munoziva kuti zhizha rava pedyo.
Learn now a parable from the fig-tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 Saizvozvowo, nemiwo pamunoona zvinhu zvose izvi muzive kuti nguva yangu yava pedyo, yava pamusiwo.
So also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors.
34 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika.
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all these things shall have taken place.
35 Denga nenyika zvichapfuura asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 “Hapana anoziva musi kana nguva kunyange vatumwa vokudenga kana Mwanakomana, asi Baba chete.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNoa, ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
38 Nokuti sapamazuva iwayo mafashamu asati auya, vanhu vaidya uye vachinwa, vaiwana nokuwanikwa kusvikira pazuva iro Noa akapinda muareka,
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark,
39 uye vakanga vasingazivi chinhu pamusoro pezvaizoitika kusvikira mafashamu avakukura vose. Ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
and knew not, till the flood came and took them all away: so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
40 Varume vaviri vachange vari mumunda, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
Then two men shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Vakadzi vaviri vachange vachikuya paguyo, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Naizvozvo, garai makagadzirira nokuti hamuzivi zuva iro Ishe wenyu achauya naro.
Watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord is coming.
43 Asi nzwisisai izvi: Dai muridzi weimba aiziva kuti inguva ipi yousiku ichauya mbavha, angadai airinda uye haaizotendera kuti imba yake ipazwe.
But know this, That if the master of the house had known at what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken open.
44 Naizvozvo nemiwo garai makagadzirira nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya nenguva yamusingamutarisiri.
For this reason, be you also ready; for at an hour in which you think not, the Son of man comes.
45 “Ndiani zvino muranda akatendeka uye akachenjera uyo akaiswa natenzi wake kuti atarire varanda veimba yake kuti agovapa zvokudya panguva yakafanira?
Who then is that faithful and wise servant, whom his master has made ruler over his household servants, to give them their food in due time?
46 Akaropafadzwa muranda uyo anowanikwa achiita izvozvo pakudzoka kwatenzi wake.
Blessed is that servant, whom his master, when he comes, shall find so doing.
47 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti achamugadza kuti ave mutariri wepfuma yake yose.
Verily I say to you, That he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Asi ngatimboti muranda uyo akaipa uye oti mumwoyo make, ‘Tenzi wangu achange asipo kwenguva refu,’
But if that wicked servant shall say in his heart, My master delays his coming;
49 uye ipapo otanga kurova vamwe varanda uye nokudya nokunwa nezvidhakwa.
and shall begin to strike his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Tenzi womuranda uyo achauya pazuva raasingatarisire napanguva yaasingazivi.
the master of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not,
51 Achasvikomugura-gura agomuisa panzvimbo imwe chete navanyengeri apo pachava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
and will cut him in two, and appoint him his part with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
