Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
Yesu awukili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, peavi mukuhamba vawuliwa vaki vambwelili na kumlangisa Nyumba ya Chapanga cheyijengiwi.
2 But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”
Yesu akavajovela, “Ena, mwihotola kugalola goha aga! Nikuvajovela chakaka, kawaka hati liganga limonga lelisigilila panani ya liganga lingi kila limonga yati litagiwa pahi.”
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
Yesu peatamili panani ya chitumbi cha mizeituni, vawuliwa vamhambili pachiepela, vakamkota, “Utijovela mambu ago yati gihumila ndali?” Ulangisu woki weulangisa kubwela kwaki na pamwishu wa mulima? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Yesu akavayangula, mujiyangalila mundu akotoka kuvakonga.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
Ndava muni vamahele yati vibwela kwa liina langu, yati vijova nene ndi Kilisitu Msangula! Na kuvakonga vandu vamahele.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
Nambu mwiyuwana malovi ga ngondo na lwami lwa ngondo, nambu mkoto kuyogopa, muni genago goha giganikiwa kuhumila, nambu mwishu wene wakona.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Vandu va mulima umonga yati vitovana na mulima wungi, unkosi umonga yati utovana na unkosi wungi. Kuni na kula yati kwivya na njala na mindendemo ya ndima.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Genago goha yati givya ngati utumbula wa lipyanda la kuvelekewa mwana.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
“Kangi yati vakuvagotola mung'aiswa na kukomiwa. Yati mwivya vandu va kuyomewa na vandu va milima yoha ndava ya kunisadika nene.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Lukumbi lwenulo vamahele yati vakuyileka sadika yavi kung'anamukilana na kuyomelana.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
Yati vihumila vamlota va udese vamahele yati vakuvakonga vandu vamahele.
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
Ndava ya kuyonjokeseka neju uhakau ndi uganu wa vandu vamahele yati wipungula.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Nambu mweisindimala mbaka pamwishu ndi mweisanguliwa.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoselewa pamilima yoha muni vandu voha vayuwanayi kwakona mwishu kuhika.”
15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
“Hinu pemwilola ‘Chindu chechiyomesa’ Chechijoviwi na Danieli mweavi mlota wa Chapanga liyimili pandu Pamsopi pa Nyumba ya Chapanga,” Mweisoma na amanyai,
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
penapo ndi vevavi ku Yudea vajumbalila kuchitumbi.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
Mweavi kunani ya nyumba yaki akotoka kuhuluka kutola chindu munyumba yaki.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
Na mundu mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele, kutola nyula yaki.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Lukumbi lwenulo vamau mwemuvi na ndumbu na mwemunyong'esa yati mwing'aika neju!
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
Ndi mumuyupayi Chapanga kutila kwinu kukotoka kuvya mu ligono la mbepu amala Ligono la Kupumulila!
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Ndava muni lukumbi lwenulo yati kwivya na mang'ahiso gakulu gangahumila kuhuma kutumbula kwa mulima mbaka lelu, katu yihumila lepi kavili.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
Ngati magono genago yagapungwizwi lepi, kawaka mundu mweasanguliwi, nambu ndava ya vevahaguliwi vala ndi magono genago gapungwizi.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
“Hinu, magono genago mundu akavajovela, ‘Lola, Kilisitu Msangula!’ ‘Avi apa amala avi pala!’ Mkoto kusadika.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Muni yati vihumila vakina Kilisitu vangi va udese na vamlota va udese. Yati vihenga ulangisu uvaha na gachinamtiti muni vavakonga yikahotoleka hati vevahaguliwi na Chapanga.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Myuwanila, nimali kuvajovela, kwakona lukumbi kubwela.”
26 “If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
“Hinu ngati vakavajovelai mlola Kilisitu Msangula, avi kulugangatu, mkotoka kuhamba, amala mlola ajifiyili mugati, mkoto kusadika,
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Ndava kubwela kwa Mwana wa Mundu yati kulolekana ngati lumuli lwa mbamba chelumweta kuhuma kwe lihumila lilanga mbaka kwe litipama lilanga.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
Pala peuvi mtuhi ndi pagikonganeka manditi.”
29 “But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
“Bahapo pegimalika mang'ahiso ga magono ago, lilanga yati lisopiwa chitita, mwehi lwalava lepi na lumuli, ndondo yati zigwa kuhumila kunani kumahundi, na makakala vindu vevivi kunani yati vinyugusika.
30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Kangi, ulangisu wa Mwana wa Mundu yati yiwonekana kunani, ndi penapo makabila goha ga pamulima apa yati givembeneka kumuyupa Chapanga, yati vakumlola Mwana wa Mundu ibwela kuhuma kunani ku mahundi avi na makakala na ukulu neju.
31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Lwami luvaha lwa lipenenga yati luyuwanika, mwene akuvatuma vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga na kuhamba kuvakemela vala voha vevahaguliwi na Chapanga, kuhuma pandi zoha mcheche za mulima, kuhuma mwishu umonga wa pamulima mbaka mwishu uwu wungi.”
32 “Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
“Mujiwula kuhuma mkongo wa mtini, bahapo limbanda laki lakatumbula kumela na kuhomola mahamba, mwimanya kuvya lukumbi lwa kubena luvi papipi.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Mewawa na nyenye pemwilola mambu genago goha chegihumila, mumanya kuvya lukumbi luvi papipi.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku chenichi chipita lepi kwakona mambu genago kuhumila.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu katu giwuka lepi.”
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
“Nambu kulivala ligono amala lisaa lenilo, avi lepi mundu mwaimanya lubwela ndali, hati vamitumu va kunani amala Mwana. Nga Dadi mwene ndi mweimanya.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Ndava muni ngati chayavi lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi mewawa cheyivya peibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
Muni lusenje lwenulo kwakona kutonya fula yikulu, vandu vakalilya na kunywa, na vigega na kugegewa, mbaka lukumbi Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha weukemiwa Safina.
39 and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Vamanyili lepi chechahumila mbaka fula yikulu payabweli na kuvayola voha. Ndi yivya mewawa paibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
Vamau vavili yati vivya mukuyaga mabenu, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi ilekewa.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
Hinu, mujiyangalila! Ndava muni mmanyi lepi ligono la kubwela Bambu winu.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Nambu mumanya lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba kuvya amanyai ligono leibwela mhiji, ngaajitendekili, ngaayileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi na mhiji.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
Ndava yeniyo, mewawa nyenye mujitendelekela, muni Mwana wa Mundu yati ibwela lisaa mwangalimanya.”
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Wu, yani ndi mtumisi msadikika na mweavi na luhala? Mkulu waki amuvikii kuvayimalila vatumisi vayaki, avapela chakulya pa lukumbi lwaki.
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
Ahekayi mtumisi yula, mkulu waki akawuya yati akumkolela ihenga mewa.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, mkulu waki yati akumvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuvya myimilila wa vindu vyaki vyoha.
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
Nambu ngati mtumisi yula mhakau akahololela mumtima waki kuvya mkulu waki ichelewa kuwuya,
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
kangi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi na kutumbula kulya na kunywa pamonga na vachigaligali.
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono angalimanya na lisaa angahololela.
51 and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
Mkulu waki yati akumdumulana neju hipandi na kumvika lilundu limonga na la vandu vevakujikita vabwina kwenuko ndi yati ivemba na kuyaga minu.”
