Luka 21
1 Yesu atayangʼana, anaona olemera akuyika mphatso zawo mu chosungira ndalama za mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Iye anaonanso mkazi wamasiye wosauka akuyikamo timakopala tiwiri.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 Iye anati, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mkazi wamasiye wosaukayu wapereka zambiri kuposa ena onsewa.
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 Anthu onsewa atapa mphatso zawo kuchokera pa zochuluka zimene ali nazo; koma uyu, mwa umphawi wake, wapereka zonse zimene ali nazo.”
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5 Ena mwa ophunzira ake ankachita ndemanga za mmene Nyumba ya Mulungu anayikongoletsera ndi miyala yokongola ndiponso zinthu zina zomwe anthu anapereka kwa Mulungu. Koma Yesu anati,
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “Koma zimene mukuziona panozi, nthawi idzafika pamene ngakhale mwala umodzi omwe sudzakhala pa unzake; uliwonse udzagwetsedwa pansi.”
“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7 Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Aphunzitsi, kodi zonsezi zidzachitika liti? Ndipo tidzaonera chiyani kuti zili pafupi kuchitika?”
They asked him, “Rabbi, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 Iye anayankha kuti, “Chenjerani kuti musanyengedwe. Pakuti ambiri adzabwera mʼdzina langa nadzati ‘Ine ndine Iye’ ndi kuti ‘Nthawi yayandikira.’ Musadzawatsate iwo.
He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 Mukadzamva zankhondo ndi zipolowe, musadzachite mantha. Zinthu izi ziyenera kuchitika poyamba, koma chimaliziro sichidzafika nthawi yomweyo.”
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10 Kenaka anawawuza kuti, “Mtundu wa anthu udzawukirana ndi mtundu wina, ndi ufumu kuwukira ufumu wina.
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Kudzakhala zivomerezi zazikulu, njala ndi miliri mʼmalo osiyanasiyana, ndi zinthu zoopsa ndi zizindikiro zamphamvu kuchokera kumwamba.
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 “Koma zonsezi zisanachitike, adzakugwirani ndi kukuzunzani. Adzakuperekani ku masunagoge ndi ku ndende, ndipo adzakutengerani pamaso pa mafumu ndi olamulira, ndipo zonsezi zidzachitika chifukwa cha dzina langa.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 Umenewu udzakhala mwayi wanu ochitira umboni.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Koma tsimikizani mtima kuti musadzade nkhawa za momwe mudzadzitchinjirizire.
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 Pakuti Ine ndidzakupatsani mawu ndi nzeru kotero kuti palibe mmodzi wa adani anu adzathe kuwakana kapena kuwatsutsa.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 Inu mudzaperekedwa ndi makolo anu, abale, anansi ndi abwenzi anu ndipo ena mwa inu adzakuphani.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 Anthu onse adzakudani chifukwa cha Ine.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 Koma palibe tsitsi limodzi la mʼmutu mwanu lidzawonongeke.
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Mukadzalimbikira ndiye mudzapeze moyo.
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 “Mukadzaona Yerusalemu atazingidwa ndi magulu ankhondo, inu mudzadziwe kuti kuwonongeka kwake kuli pafupi.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 Pamenepo amene ali ku Yudeya adzathawire ku mapiri, amene ali mu mzinda adzatulukemo, ndi amene ali ku midzi asadzalowe mu mzinda.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 Pakuti iyi ndi nthawi yachilango pokwaniritsa zonse zimene zinalembedwa.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Zidzakhala zoopsa nthawi imenewo kwa amayi oyembekezera ndi amayi oyamwitsa! Kudzakhala masautso aakulu mʼdziko ndipo anthu onse adzawakwiyira.
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24 Iwo adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndi kutengedwa ukapolo kupita ku mayiko wonse. Yerusalemu adzaponderezedwa ndi anthu a mitundu ina mpaka nthawi ya a mitundu ina itakwaniritsidwa.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “Padzakhala zizindikiro zodabwitsa pa dzuwa, mwezi ndi nyenyezi. Pa dziko lapansi, mitundu ya anthu idzakhala mʼmasautso ndipo idzathedwa nzeru pakumva mkokomo ndi mafunde a mʼnyanja.
“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 Anthu adzakomoka chifukwa cha mantha, akadzamva za zimene zikubwera pa dziko lapansi, pakuti zinthu zamlengalenga zidzagwedezeka.
men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Nthawi imeneyo adzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera ndi mitambo, mphamvu ndi ulemerero waukulu.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Zinthu izi zikadzayamba kuchitika, mudzayimirire ndi kutukula mitu yanu, chifukwa chipulumutso chanu chayandikira.”
But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 Iye anawawuza fanizo ili, “Taonani mtengo wamkuyu ndi mitengo ina yonse.
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30 Ikamatulutsa masamba, mumakhoza kudzionera nokha ndi kudziwa kuti dzinja lili pafupi.
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 Chimodzimodzinso, mukadzaona zinthu zonsezi, dziwani kuti ufumu wa Mulungu uli pafupi.
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mʼbado uno sudzatha mpaka zinthu zonsezi zitachitika.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 “Samalani, kuti mitima yanu ingalemetsedwe ndi maphwando, kuledzera ndi kudera nkhawa za moyo uno, ndi kuti tsiku ilo lingadzakupezeni modzidzimutsa ngati msampha.
“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35 Pakuti lidzafika pa onse okhala pa dziko lonse lapansi.
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Khalani tcheru nthawi zonse ndi kupemphera kuti inu mudzathe kuthawa zonse zimene zili pafupi kuchitika, ndi kuti mudzathe kuyima pamaso pa Mwana wa Munthu.”
Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Tsiku lililonse Yesu amaphunzitsa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndi madzulo ali wonse Iye amachoka kukakhala pa phiri la Olivi usiku wonse.
Every day Yeshua was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 Ndipo anthu onse amabwera mmamawa kudzamumva Iye ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
