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!”
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 A woroghe, “Uyene makyekye madidia maane? Na nlon litala ba lawu kitene Non ba vat iba turzunu anin.”
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 Adi so kitene litalan zaitun likot kutii nlira, Bitrus, Yakubu, Yohanna, ligowe nin Andrawus tiringhe likot,
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 “Belle nari ninshiyari iba suu ile mone? Yaghari madura nari nworo vat nile imone nan naduru udaka?”
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 Yisa tunna nbellu nani, “Yenjeng umon wa wultung munu.
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 Anit gwardang ba dak nanya ni, 'Mere Ame,' tutung ibati anit gbardang wulu.
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 Assa ilanza ubellen nakum kitene nakum, na iwa fya nibinai mine ba; ima suu ille imone, vat nani ligaghe nsa daba.
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 Nkang kipin ba firunu nkang, Tigoh ba nari tigoh. Iba se uzunu niti niti gwardang iba su akpong. Ile imon inanzaghe uchizinari.
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 Song cha. Ima du nin ghinu kiti nago, iba fo minu nanya natii nlira. Iba yisinu nbun na go nafo imon nyenu kitimine.
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 Bara nani ima burnu ubelu nlirun nlai udu kifi nanit vat.
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
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.
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 Gwana banii gwana me imollu, uchif nin gono me. Nono ba fiu nibineyi nachif mine bara imolsu nanin.
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 Anit vat ba naari munu bara lissanni. Amma ule na a ba tere, kibinai me aba se ulai.
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
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,
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 ulle na adi kutii kitene na awa toluba, sa ada yiru imomon nanye imomon nanya,
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 ulle na adi kunnen nawa dak nyiru ugudum me ba.
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 Kash imon nkunne kuneri na lenge na imayitu nin nono nibebene nin nalenge na idumun nonon nmazinu na yiri ane!
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
18 Sun nlira na ile imone nwada kubi likus ba.
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
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
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.
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 Tutun asa umon mbellin minu, 'Yenen, Kristi ulle!' Sa, 'Yenen, aminii!' na iwa yinin ba.
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ 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.
23 Song ncha. Nna me bellum minu vat nille mone a na kube nsa da ba.”
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Assa ayiri nneu ane nkata, uwui ba siriu, na upui mani nkanang me ba,
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 iyin kitene kani ba dissu akara allenge na adinitene nani ma zulunu.
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 Ma imanin yenu gono nnit in nuzu nanya nawut nin likara lidyah nin gongong.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
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.
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 Yiran uyiru nimon kiti kucha kupul. Assa iyene tilanghe ncizina utilu naffa appese yinnong kusike nda susut.
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 Nanere tutung iyinigh ille mone ncizina, yinnon ada susut kibuluu'.
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 Kidegen, mbellin minu, imon illele ma kulu vat ma kuji kone nin kata.
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 Kitene nin yii ma katu, na uliru nin ma katuba.
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 Ubelleng liri lole nin kubi kone na umong yiru ba, na nono kadure kitene kane, sa gono me yiru ba, uchifere chas.
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 Song nin yiru! Yenjeng, bara iyiru sa kome kubiari ba.
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
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.
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
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.
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
36 Awa da minu, na awa adah da se minu mmoro ba.
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 Ille mon nan din bellu minu, ndin bellu anit vat, yenjen kitii!”
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
