Markos 13
1 Na Yisa wa cinu unuzu nanya kutein nlira, warum nanya nnono kattah me woroghe, “unan dursuzu, yene atala alele nin makyekye nmanaki!”
As Jesus was walking out of the Temple Courts, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Teacher, look what fine stones and buildings these are!’
2 A woroghe, “Uyene makyekye madidia maane? Na nlon litala ba lawu kitene Non ba vat iba turzunu anin.”
‘Do you see these great buildings?’ asked Jesus. ‘Not a single stone will be left here on another, which will not be thrown down.’
3 Adi so kitene litalan zaitun likot kutii nlira, Bitrus, Yakubu, Yohanna, ligowe nin Andrawus tiringhe likot,
When Jesus had sat down on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew questioned him privately,
4 “Belle nari ninshiyari iba suu ile mone? Yaghari madura nari nworo vat nile imone nan naduru udaka?”
‘Tell us when this will be, and what will be the sign when all this is drawing to its close.’
5 Yisa tunna nbellu nani, “Yenjeng umon wa wultung munu.
Then Jesus began, ‘See that no one leads you astray.
6 Anit gwardang ba dak nanya ni, 'Mere Ame,' tutung ibati anit gbardang wulu.
Many will take my name, and come saying “I am He”, and will lead many astray.
7 Assa ilanza ubellen nakum kitene nakum, na iwa fya nibinai mine ba; ima suu ille imone, vat nani ligaghe nsa daba.
‘And, when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed; such things must occur; but the end is not yet.
8 Nkang kipin ba firunu nkang, Tigoh ba nari tigoh. Iba se uzunu niti niti gwardang iba su akpong. Ile imon inanzaghe uchizinari.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This will be but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9 Song cha. Ima du nin ghinu kiti nago, iba fo minu nanya natii nlira. Iba yisinu nbun na go nafo imon nyenu kitimine.
‘See to yourselves! They will betray you to courts of law; and you will be taken to synagogues and beaten; and you will be brought up before governors and kings for my sake, so that you can bear witness before them.
10 Bara nani ima burnu ubelu nlirun nlai udu kifi nanit vat.
But the good news must first be proclaimed to every nation.
11 Iwa kifo munu idomun kiti nagoh, na iwah fya ayi mine kifene nile imon na iba bellu ba. Ka na iba bellu nkoni kube amon nanyan nkoni kube, ille imon na iba bellu ima nie munu; na nughere masu ulire ba, nfip Kutellẹari.
Whenever they betray you and hand you over for trial, do not be anxious beforehand as to what you will say, but say whatever is given you at the moment; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Gwana banii gwana me imollu, uchif nin gono me. Nono ba fiu nibineyi nachif mine bara imolsu nanin.
Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;
13 Anit vat ba naari munu bara lissanni. Amma ule na a ba tere, kibinai me aba se ulai.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me. Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
14 Asa uyene umon izemzem yissin kiti kah na idin woro iyisin ku ba, (na unan yenju niyert yining), na allenge na idin Yahudiya na icumm udu apara,
‘As soon, however, as you see “the Foul Desecration” standing where it ought not’ (the reader must consider what this means) ‘then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains;
15 ulle na adi kutii kitene na awa toluba, sa ada yiru imomon nanye imomon nanya,
and a person on the house-top must not go down, or go in to get anything out of their house:
16 ulle na adi kunnen nawa dak nyiru ugudum me ba.
nor must one who is on their farm turn back to get their cloak.
17 Kash imon nkunne kuneri na lenge na imayitu nin nono nibebene nin nalenge na idumun nonon nmazinu na yiri ane!
And alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
18 Sun nlira na ile imone nwada kubi likus ba.
Pray, too, that this may not occur in winter.
19 Unieu udya ba yitu, i masu ilemon na anitin sa yenne ba, nworu na Kutellẹ wa kye uyẹh, udak nene, na isa su nani ba, å na iba kuru isu nani ba
For those days will be a time of distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of God’s creation until now – and never will again.
20 In sasana Cikilare na can ayire ba, na iwa se unan lai ba, bara alle na ina fere, unin nare nati i werne ayire.
And, had not the Lord put a limit to those days, not a single soul would escape; but, for the sake of God’s own chosen people, he did limit them.
21 Tutun asa umon mbellin minu, 'Yenen, Kristi ulle!' Sa, 'Yenen, aminii!' na iwa yinin ba.
‘And at that time if anyone should say to you “Look, here is the Christ!” “Look, there he is!”, do not believe it;
22 Bara an Kristi kinu nin na nan nliru nin nu Kutellẹ kinu ma nuzu ima dursuzu imon yenju nin ni mon nmamaki, inan wultuno anit Kutellẹ wang adin uso nani.
for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and display signs and marvels, to lead astray, were it possible, even God’s people.
23 Song ncha. Nna me bellum minu vat nille mone a na kube nsa da ba.”
But see that you are on your guard! I have told you all this beforehand.
24 Assa ayiri nneu ane nkata, uwui ba siriu, na upui mani nkanang me ba,
‘In those days, after that time of distress, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light,
25 iyin kitene kani ba dissu akara allenge na adinitene nani ma zulunu.
the stars will be falling from the heavens, and the forces that are in the heavens will be convulsed.
26 Ma imanin yenu gono nnit in nuzu nanya nawut nin likara lidyah nin gongong.
Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
27 A banin tu nono kadura Kutellẹ amma piturnu allenge na ana fere nanin nnuzu tikot tinas uyiru na pori nyi udu napori kitene kani.
and then he will send the angels, and gather his people from the four winds, from one end of the world to the other.
28 Yiran uyiru nimon kiti kucha kupul. Assa iyene tilanghe ncizina utilu naffa appese yinnong kusike nda susut.
‘Learn the lesson taught by the fig tree. As soon as its branches are full of sap, and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
29 Nanere tutung iyinigh ille mone ncizina, yinnon ada susut kibuluu'.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that he is at your doors.
30 Kidegen, mbellin minu, imon illele ma kulu vat ma kuji kone nin kata.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.
31 Kitene nin yii ma katu, na uliru nin ma katuba.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 Ubelleng liri lole nin kubi kone na umong yiru ba, na nono kadure kitene kane, sa gono me yiru ba, uchifere chas.
‘But about that day, or the hour, no one knows – not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son – but only the Father.
33 Song nin yiru! Yenjeng, bara iyiru sa kome kubiari ba.
‘See that you are on the watch; for you do not know when the time will be.
34 Umasin nafo unit ulle na assu uchin: acinno kilari me na chara nacin me, koyeme nin kata-a me. Anin belle unan ca kibulughe yenje uwasu mmoro.
It is like a man going on a journey, who leaves his home, puts his servants in charge – each having their special duty – and orders the porter to watch.
35 Bara nani sun ucha! Bara na iyiru kubi ko na Cikilare ma dak ba, sa nin dew nwui, sa nin kitik, sa nin kolusunu kukulok, sa nin kui dindin.
Therefore watch, for you cannot be sure when the Master of the house is coming – whether in the evening, at midnight, at daybreak, or in the morning –
36 Awa da minu, na awa adah da se minu mmoro ba.
otherwise he might come suddenly and find you asleep.
37 Ille mon nan din bellu minu, ndin bellu anit vat, yenjen kitii!”
And what I say to you I say to all – Watch!’
