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.
Jesu akabuda mutemberi, uye paakanga achifamba kudaro, vadzidzi vake vakaswedera kwaari vakamuratidza dzimba dzetemberi.
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.”
Iye akati kwavari, “Muri kuona zvinhu izvi zvose here? Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti hakuna ibwe richasara pano riri pamusoro perimwe; ose achawisirwa pasi.”
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)
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)
4 Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Chenjerai kuti murege kunyengerwa nomunhu.
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu vachiti, ‘Ndini Kristu,’ uye vachinyengera vazhinji.
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.
Muchanzwa nezvehondo uye neguhu rehondo, asi chenjerai kuti murege kuvhundutswa nazvo. Zvinhu zvakadaro zvinofanira kuitika asi kuguma kunenge kusati kwasvika.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
Nokuti rudzi ruchamukira rumwe rudzi noumambo huchamukira humwe umambo. Kuchava nenzara nokudengenyeka kwenyika munzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana.
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Asi zvose izvi mavambo okurwadziwa pakubereka.
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.
“Ipapo muchaiswa kuna vanokutambudzai mugourayiwa, uye muchavengwa nendudzi dzose nokuda kwangu.
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
Panguva iyoyo vazhinji vachadzokera shure kubva pakutenda uye vachamukirana vagovengana,
11 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
uye vaprofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka uye vachanyengera vanhu vazhinji.
12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
Nokuda kwokuwanda kwokusarurama, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora.
13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Asi uyo achatsungirira kusvikira kumagumo, achaponeswa.
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.
Uye vhangeri iri roumambo richaparidzwa munyika yose souchapupu kumarudzi ose, ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
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),
“Saka pamunoona ‘nyangadzi yokuparadza’ yakataurwa nomuprofita Dhanieri, imire panzvimbo tsvene, anoverenga ngaanzwisise,
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
ipapo vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
Uyo ari padenga reimba yake ngaarege kuburuka kuti andotora chinhu chipi zvacho chiri mumba make.
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
Ari mumunda ngaarege kudzokera kundotora nguo yake.
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Zvichaoma sei mumazuva iwayo kuvakadzi vane mimba navaya vanoyamwisa!
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
Nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuitika panguva yechando kana nomusi weSabata.
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.
Nokuti ipapo pachava nenhamo huru isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwenyika kusvika zvino uye haizombovapozve.
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.
Dai mazuva iwayo asina kutapudzwa, hapana munhu airarama, asi nokuda kwavasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achatapudzwa.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
Panguva iyoyo, mukanzwa munhu anoti kwamuri, ‘Tarirai, hoyu Kristu!’ kana kuti, ‘Hoyo Kristu,’ musazvitenda.
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.
Nokuti kuchamuka vanaKristu venhema navaprofita venhema avo vachaita zviratidzo nezvishamiso kuti vanyengere kunyange navasanangurwa kana zvichigoneka.
25 “Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Tarirai, ndafanokuudzai zvisati zvaitika.
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.
“Saka kana munhu upi zvake akakuudzai kuti, ‘Tarirai uyo ari kurenje,’ musabuda kuti muendeko kana kuti akati, ‘Tarirai, ari mudzimba dzomukati,’ musazvitenda.
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.
Sezvinoita mheni inopenya kumabvazuva ichionekwawo kumavirira, ndizvo zvichaita kuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
28 For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
Pose pano mutumbi ndipo pachaungana magora.
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;
“Pakarepo shure kwokutambudzika kwamazuva iwayo, “‘zuva richasviba, uye mwedzi hauzovheneki; nyeredzi dzichawa kubva kudenga, namasimba omuchadenga achazungunuswa.’
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.
“Ipapo chiratidzo choMwanakomana woMunhu chichaonekwa kudenga, uye ndudzi dzose dzenyika dzichachema. Vachaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achiuya ari mumakore okudenga nesimba nokubwinya kukuru.
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.
Uye achatuma vatumwa vake nokurira kwehwamanda kukuru uye vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina dzenyika, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga kusvikira kuno rumwe.
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.
“Zvino dzidzai chidzidzo ichi kubva pamuonde: Panopfava matavi awo uye mashizha awo otungira, munoziva kuti zhizha rava pedyo.
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Saizvozvowo, nemiwo pamunoona zvinhu zvose izvi muzive kuti nguva yangu yava pedyo, yava pamusiwo.
34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti rudzi urwu harungatongopfuuri kusvikira zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Denga nenyika zvichapfuura asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
36 “But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
“Hapana anoziva musi kana nguva kunyange vatumwa vokudenga kana Mwanakomana, asi Baba chete.
37 As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNoa, ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
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,
Nokuti sapamazuva iwayo mafashamu asati auya, vanhu vaidya uye vachinwa, vaiwana nokuwanikwa kusvikira pazuva iro Noa akapinda muareka,
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.
uye vakanga vasingazivi chinhu pamusoro pezvaizoitika kusvikira mafashamu avakukura vose. Ndizvo zvazvichaita pakuuya kwoMwanakomana woMunhu.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
Varume vaviri vachange vari mumunda, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
Vakadzi vaviri vachange vachikuya paguyo, mumwe achatorwa uye mumwe achasiyiwa.
42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
“Naizvozvo, garai makagadzirira nokuti hamuzivi zuva iro Ishe wenyu achauya naro.
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.
Asi nzwisisai izvi: Dai muridzi weimba aiziva kuti inguva ipi yousiku ichauya mbavha, angadai airinda uye haaizotendera kuti imba yake ipazwe.
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
Naizvozvo nemiwo garai makagadzirira nokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu achauya nenguva yamusingamutarisiri.
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?
“Ndiani zvino muranda akatendeka uye akachenjera uyo akaiswa natenzi wake kuti atarire varanda veimba yake kuti agovapa zvokudya panguva yakafanira?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
Akaropafadzwa muranda uyo anowanikwa achiita izvozvo pakudzoka kwatenzi wake.
47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti achamugadza kuti ave mutariri wepfuma yake yose.
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
Asi ngatimboti muranda uyo akaipa uye oti mumwoyo make, ‘Tenzi wangu achange asipo kwenguva refu,’
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
uye ipapo otanga kurova vamwe varanda uye nokudya nokunwa nezvidhakwa.
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,
Tenzi womuranda uyo achauya pazuva raasingatarisire napanguva yaasingazivi.
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.
Achasvikomugura-gura agomuisa panzvimbo imwe chete navanyengeri apo pachava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.
