Mataayi 24
1 UYesu akahuma mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila. Ye iluta avavulanisivua avaake vakaluta pa mwene, vakansoona uvujenge uvwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila.
Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple buildings.
2 Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “Se sene, mulola uvujenge vwoni uvu vule vujengilue! Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti, nalilasighala nambe livue lino lilighelama pa livue ilingi, ghooni ghilihemula?
"You see all these?" He replied; "in solemn truth I tell you that there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be pulled down."
3 UYesu akaluta pa kidunda ikya Miseituni, akikala. Avavulanisivua vaake vakaluta pa mwene, vakijekela, vakamposia vakati, “Tusuuma utuvuule, isio sino utuvulile silivombeka liighi? kange kivalilo ikya kutuhufia kuuti unsiki ughwa kwisa uve nu vusilio vwa iisi ghufikile?” (aiōn g165)
Afterwards He was on the Mount of Olives and was seated there when the disciples came to Him, apart from the others, and said, "Tell us when this will be; and what will be the sign of your Coming and of the Close of the Age?" (aiōn g165)
4 UYesu akavamula akati, “Muvisaghe maaso, umuumhu nangavasyangaghe!
"Take care that no one misleads you," answered Jesus;
5 Ulwakuva vinga vilikwisa mu litavua lyago, nujunge itisagha, Neene kilisite.' Avaanhu avuo vikikuvasyanga vinga.
"for many will come assuming my name and saying 'I am the Christ;' and they will mislead many.
6 Mulaava mupulika uvulugu ni mhuli isa vulugu, mulekaghe ughwa, mulekaghe pikkwoghopa. Ndavule ndaani isio silivoneka taasi, neke unsiki ughwene ughwa vusililo ghuuva ghukyale.”
And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.
7 Ifighino ifio iisi jilwisgha ni iisi ijingi, kange uvutwa kulua nu vutwa uvunge. Imbale ni mbale kwejilliva injalani fisenyeena.
For nation will rise in arms against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places;
8 Isio sooni vuuva vutengulilo, ndavule uvuvafi uvwa mukijuuva, pano unsiki ughwa kupaapa umwana ghufikile.
but all these miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
9 “Unsiki ughuo, mulikolua na mpumusivua na kubudua. Avaanhu imbale sooni vilikuvakalalilagha ulwakuva mukumbingilila une.
"At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.
10 Pepano avaanhu vinga vilivuhiila kukumbigingilila une. Vilikwohelanagha ku valugu na kukalalilagha ku valugu na kukakalilanila.
Then will many stumble and fall, and they will betray one another and hate one another.
11 kange, avavili vinga ava vudesi vilihumila nakukuvasofia avaanhu vinga.
Many false prophets will rise up and lead multitudes astray;
12 Avaanhu vinga vliiva vahosi. Mu uluo avaanhu vinga vilivuhiila kukuvaghana avange.
and because of the prevalent disregard of God's law the love of the great majority will grow cold;
13 Neke juno ikuguda kuhanga kufikika kuvusililo, ujuo ghwe alakuluka.
but those who stand firm to the End shall be saved.
14 IMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwa Nguluve jilipulisivua mu iisi sooni kuuti vuve vwolesi ku vaanhu vooni, pepano uvusililo vwa iisi vukwisa.
And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world to set the evidence before all the Gentiles; and then the End will come.
15 “Unsiki ughuno mulavona ' Ikiinu kino kipelela uvulamafu inyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, kyimile pavwimike, ndavule alyajovile um'bili uDanieli. juno ikwimba amasio agha alutang'aniaghe.
"When you have seen (to use the language of the Prophet Daniel) the 'Abomination of Desolation', standing in the Holy Place" --let the reader observe those words--
16 Apuo pepano vano vali mu Yudea, vakimbililaghe ku fidunda,
"then let those who are in Judaea escape to the hills;
17 juno ali pa kituvili, naagngikaghe kutoola fimonga mu nyumba.
let him who is on the roof not go down to fetch what is in his house;
18 Nambe juno ali ku mmughunda. naangagomokaghe ku kaaja kutoola ilikooti lyake.
nor let him who is outside the city stay to pick up his outer garment.
19 Iga avakijuuva vano viliiva vakunue na vano vilikwong'helesyagha ifigono ifio!
And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
20 Musumaghe kwa Nguluve kuuti unsiki ughuo ughwa kukimbila ghuleke piiva nsiki ghwa fula ni mhepo nambe ikighono ikya Sabati.
"But pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on the Sabbath;
21 Ulwakuva ifighono ifio, kweluliiva ulupumuko ulukome luno nalughelile kuvoneka kuhuma uNguluve ipela iisi, kuhanga kufika umusyughu. Kange nalulavoneka lusiku.
for it will be a time of great suffering, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now, and assuredly never will be again.
22 UNguluve ale aleke kukepusia ifighono ifio, nakwale ughwa kukuluka. Neke vwimila avasulua vaake, ilikepusia ifighono ifio.
And if those days had not been cut short, no one would escape; but for the sake of God's own People those days will be cut short.
23 “Unsiki ughuno, umuunhu angati, 'Lola, ukilisite ali apa,' nambe Ali kula,' namungitikaghe.
"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'Here!' give no credence to it.
24 Ulwakuva valiisa avaanhu vano vikutambulagha nujunge iiti ghwe 'Kilisite,' avange viila vavili vavudesi. Avuo vihufyagha ifivalilo ifivaha ni fidegho kuuti vavasofie avaanhu, nambe avasalullua va Nguluve.
For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying wonderful signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, were it possible, even God's own People.
25 Muvisaghe maaso ulwakuva nivavuliile ng'haani pano sikyale pikwisa.
Remember, I have forewarned you.
26 Lino vangavavuule kuuti, 'Lola, uMuesiya ali ku lunyika! Namungalutaghe. Nambe angati, Lola, ali kukate,' namungitikaghe.
If therefore they should say to you, 'See, He is in the Desert!' do not go out there: or 'See, He is indoors in the room!' do not believe it.
27 Ulwakuva ndavule ulumili lwa fula vule lulumilika na kuvoneka imbale sooni, fye luliiva niliiva nikwisa ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu, Kulivoneka imbale sooni.
For just as the lightning flashes in the east and is seen to the very west, so will be the Coming of the Son of Man.
28 Kuno kwelili ilikanu ilifue kwe kuno amatumbusi ghikong'haana.
Wherever the dead body is, there will the vultures flock together.
29 “Ifighono ifio ifya lupunuko filiiva fisilile, 'ing'hiisi jilakupika ilijuva, naghu mwesi naghulavala, inhondue silasanguka kuhuma kukyanya, ni fiinu fyoni ifya kukyanya filasukanika.'
"But immediately after those times of distress the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shed her light, the stars will fall from the firmament, and the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
30 “Pepano avaanhu vilikufyagha ifivalilo kukanya fino fihufia kuuti ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nikwisa. Avaanhu ava fisiha fyoni vilitengula kulila nu lundwesi. Valambona ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nikwisa mu mafunde kuhuma kukyanya. Nikwisa ni ngufu nyinga nu vuvaha.
Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the nations of the earth lament, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and glory.
31 Pe nilikuvasuung'ha avanyamhola vango kumo lukuuta ulukelemo kuuti vavakong'hanie avasulua vooni ava Nguluve kuhuma imbale sooni isa iisi, Kutengulila ulubale lumo ulwa vusililo vwa iisi kufika ulunge ulwa vusililo vwa iisi.”
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet-blast, and they will bring together His own People to Him from north, south, east and west--from one extremity of the world to the other.
32 “MUmanyilaghe ikihwanikkiso ikya mpiki untini. Pano inhaafi saake silemba na kuuva na matundu, mukagulaghe kuuti amasiki gha fula ghali piipi.
"Now learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branches have now become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you all know that summer is near.
33 Fye lulaava, muliiva makusivona sooni isi sino nivoliike sivombeka, mukagulaghe kuuti nili piipi kukwisa.
So you also, when you see all these signs, may be sure that He is near--at your very door.
34 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula niiti, ikisina iki nakilakila kuhanga isi sooni sivombeke.
I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
35 Uvulanga ni iisi filakila, looli amasio ghango naghalakila nambe pedebe.
Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
36 “Neke ikighono nu nsiki ughwa kwisa un ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu, nakwale juno akagwile nambe avanyamhola kukyanya, nambe juune ne Mwano, looli ju Nhaata mwene.
"But as to that day and the exact time no one knows--not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 Ulwakuva niliiva nikwisa ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu luliiva ndavule lulyale ifighono ifya Nwaka.
'For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
38 Ifighono ifio ye lukyale kukwisa ulutalamu ulwa ghalika, avaanhu valyale vilia na kunyua, vitoola na kutolua kuhanga ikighono kila pano uNwaka ikwingila mu safina.
At that time, before the Deluge, men were busy eating and drinking, taking wives or giving them, up to the very day when Noah entered the Ark,
39 Avaanhu avuo navalyakangwile kimonga kuhanga pano ighalika jikwisa, vakufua vooni. Enendikiiki fye lulaava niliiva nikwisa ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu.
nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge came and swept them all away; so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.
40 Ifighono ifio avaanhu vavili viliiva pa mughunda, ujunge nikuntoola kuuva palikimo nuune, ujunge nikumuleka.
Then will two men be in the open country: one will be taken away, and one left behind.
41 Avakijuuva vavili viliiiva pihavula, ujunge nikuntoola kuuva palikimo nuune, ujunge nikumuleka.”
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken away, and one left behind.
42 Lino, muvusaghe maaso, ulwakuva namukagwile ikighono kino uMutwa ghwinu ikwisa.
Be on the alert therefore, for you do not know the day on which your Lord is coming.
43 Looli mukagulaghe kuuti, unya ale akagule unsiki ghuno umulyasi ikwisa, ale ikukala maaso, naale ileka umulyasi amemule inyumba jaake.
But of this be assured, that if the master of the house had known the hour at which the robber was coming, he would have kept awake, and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Lino, na jumue muvisaghe muling'hanisie, ulwakuva ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu nilikwisa ghuno namuhuviila.”
Therefore you also must be ready; for it is at a time when you do not expect Him that the Son of Man will come.
45 UYesu akavosia akati,” Ghwe veeni um'bombi unnofu, unya luhala? Um'bombi juno untwa ghwake amb'bikile kuuva mwimilili ghwa vavombi avange mu nyumba jaake, kuuti avapelaghe ikyskulia unsiki ghuno ghunoghiile.
"Who therefore is the loyal and intelligent servant to whom his master has entrusted the control of his household to give them their rations at the appointed time?
46 Kuba um'bombi ujuo juno untwa ghwake iliiiva igomoka, ikumwanga ivomba sino akamulaghiile.
Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes shall find so doing!
47 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti, ikum'biika um'bombi jula, imililaghe ifiinu fyake fyoni.
In solemn truth I tell you that he will give him the management of all his wealth.
48 Neke um'bombi um'biivi avgasaaghe mu mwojo ghwake kuuti, 'Untwa ghwango idiila kugomoka,'
But if the man, being a bad servant, should say in his heart, 'My master is a long time in coming,'
49 Pe atengule kutova avavombi avajaake, alisaghe na kunyua palikimo na vaghaasi,
and should begin to beat his fellow servants, while he eats and drinks with drunkards;
50 utwa ghwake angagomoke ikighono nu nsiki ghno um'bombi jula nahihuviila,
the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him and at an hour of which he has not been informed;
51 Kyaikuntemania na Kukum'biikka ku lupumuko palikimo na vavudesi. Ukuo kwe vilililagha na kugwegwenula amiino vwimila uvuvafi uvukome vuno vali navwo.”
he will treat him with the utmost severity and assign him a place among the hypocrites: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
