Mateo 24
1 Jesu akabuda mutemberi, uye paakanga achifamba kudaro, vadzidzi vake vakaswedera kwaari vakamuratidza dzimba dzetemberi.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew 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.”
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, 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 sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesu akapindura akati, “Chenjerai kuti murege kunyengerwa nomunhu.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu vachiti, ‘Ndini Kristu,’ uye vachinyengera vazhinji.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 Muchanzwa nezvehondo uye neguhu rehondo, asi chenjerai kuti murege kuvhundutswa nazvo. Zvinhu zvakadaro zvinofanira kuitika asi kuguma kunenge kusati kwasvika.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, 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 shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 Asi zvose izvi mavambo okurwadziwa pakubereka.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Ipapo muchaiswa kuna vanokutambudzai mugourayiwa, uye muchavengwa nendudzi dzose nokuda kwangu.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 Panguva iyoyo vazhinji vachadzokera shure kubva pakutenda uye vachamukirana vagovengana,
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 uye vaprofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka uye vachanyengera vanhu vazhinji.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 Nokuda kwokuwanda kwokusarurama, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 Asi uyo achatsungirira kusvikira kumagumo, achaponeswa.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same 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 all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 “Saka pamunoona ‘nyangadzi yokuparadza’ yakataurwa nomuprofita Dhanieri, imire panzvimbo tsvene, anoverenga ngaanzwisise,
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: )
16 ipapo vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Uyo ari padenga reimba yake ngaarege kuburuka kuti andotora chinhu chipi zvacho chiri mumba make.
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Ari mumunda ngaarege kudzokera kundotora nguo yake.
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 Zvichaoma sei mumazuva iwayo kuvakadzi vane mimba navaya vanoyamwisa!
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 Nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuitika panguva yechando kana nomusi weSabata.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 Nokuti ipapo pachava nenhamo huru isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwenyika kusvika zvino uye haizombovapozve.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 Dai mazuva iwayo asina kutapudzwa, hapana munhu airarama, asi nokuda kwavasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achatapudzwa.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Panguva iyoyo, mukanzwa munhu anoti kwamuri, ‘Tarirai, hoyu Kristu!’ kana kuti, ‘Hoyo Kristu,’ musazvitenda.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
24 Nokuti kuchamuka vanaKristu venhema navaprofita venhema avo vachaita zviratidzo nezvishamiso kuti vanyengere kunyange navasanangurwa kana zvichigoneka.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Tarirai, ndafanokuudzai zvisati zvaitika.
Behold, I have told you before.
26 “Saka kana munhu upi zvake akakuudzai kuti, ‘Tarirai uyo ari kurenje,’ musabuda kuti muendeko kana kuti akati, ‘Tarirai, ari mudzimba dzomukati,’ musazvitenda.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: 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 cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 Pose pano mutumbi ndipo pachaungana magora.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 “Pakarepo shure kwokutambudzika kwamazuva iwayo, “‘zuva richasviba, uye mwedzi hauzovheneki; nyeredzi dzichawa kubva kudenga, namasimba omuchadenga achazungunuswa.’
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers 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 earth 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 shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together 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.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
33 Saizvozvowo, nemiwo pamunoona zvinhu zvose izvi muzive kuti nguva yangu yava pedyo, yava pamusiwo.
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
34 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
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 knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNoa, ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 Nokuti sapamazuva iwayo mafashamu asati auya, vanhu vaidya uye vachinwa, vaiwana nokuwanikwa kusvikira pazuva iro Noa akapinda muareka,
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 uye vakanga vasingazivi chinhu pamusoro pezvaizoitika kusvikira mafashamu avakukura vose. Ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Varume vaviri vachange vari mumunda, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
Then shall two be in the field; the 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; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 “Naizvozvo, garai makagadzirira nokuti hamuzivi zuva iro Ishe wenyu achauya naro.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
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 goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Naizvozvo nemiwo garai makagadzirira nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya nenguva yamusingamutarisiri.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 “Ndiani zvino muranda akatendeka uye akachenjera uyo akaiswa natenzi wake kuti atarire varanda veimba yake kuti agovapa zvokudya panguva yakafanira?
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Akaropafadzwa muranda uyo anowanikwa achiita izvozvo pakudzoka kwatenzi wake.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti achamugadza kuti ave mutariri wepfuma yake yose.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 Asi ngatimboti muranda uyo akaipa uye oti mumwoyo make, ‘Tenzi wangu achange asipo kwenguva refu,’
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 uye ipapo otanga kurova vamwe varanda uye nokudya nokunwa nezvidhakwa.
And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 Tenzi womuranda uyo achauya pazuva raasingatarisire napanguva yaasingazivi.
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 Achasvikomugura-gura agomuisa panzvimbo imwe chete navanyengeri apo pachava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
