< Luke 21 >

1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
Na rĩrĩ, aatiira maitho, Jesũ akĩona itonga igĩĩkĩra mĩhothi yao harĩa heekagĩrwo kĩgĩĩna kĩa hekarũ.
2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
Agĩcooka akĩona mũtumia mũthĩĩni, warĩ wa ndigwa, agĩĩkĩra tũthendi twĩrĩ o ho thĩinĩ.
3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũtumia ũyũ mũthĩĩni wa ndigwa nĩahotha mbeeca nyingĩ gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
4 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.”
Andũ acio angĩ othe maaheana kũringana na ũtonga wao; no mũtumia ũyũ o na arĩ mũthĩĩni, ahotha kĩrĩa gĩothe oima nakĩo gĩa kũmũtũũria.”
5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
Na rĩrĩ, arutwo amwe ake nĩmaragia ũhoro wa hekarũ, ũrĩa yagemetio na mahiga mathaka na iheo iria ciarutĩirwo Ngai. No Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ,
6 “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.”
“Ha ũhoro wa mĩako ĩno mũrona-rĩ, hĩndĩ nĩĩroka rĩrĩa gũtagakorwo ihiga rĩrĩ igũrũ wa rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; mothe nĩmakamomorwo.”
7 They asked him, “Rabbi, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩ rĩ maũndũ macio magekĩka? Na kĩmenyithia kĩa atĩ marĩ hakuhĩ gwĩkĩka nĩ kĩrĩkũ?”
8 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.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei mũtikanaheenio. Nĩgũkorwo andũ aingĩ nĩmagooka na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ We,’ na ningĩ mamwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ihinda nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie.’ Mũtikanamarũmĩrĩre.
9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
Rĩrĩa mũkaigua ũhoro wa mbaara na wa ngũĩ, mũtikanetigĩre. Maũndũ macio no nginya mekĩke mbere, no ũguo ti kuuga ithirĩro nĩikinyu.”
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rũrĩrĩ nĩrũgookĩrĩra rũrĩa rũngĩ, na ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũrĩa ũngĩ.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Nĩgũkaagĩa na ithingithia nene mũno, na ngʼaragu, na mĩrimũ mĩũru kũndũ na kũndũ, na maũndũ ma kũmakania na imenyithia nene kuuma igũrũ.
12 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.
“No maũndũ macio mothe matanakinya-rĩ, nĩmũkanyiitwo, na mũnyariirwo na mũneanwo thunagogi-inĩ na njeera o na mũtwarwo mbere ya athamaki na aathani. Maũndũ macio mothe mũgeekwo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
Ũndũ ũyũ ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mweke wanyu wa kũmarutĩra ũira.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
No rĩrĩ, mũtikanatangĩke mũgĩĩciiria o mbere, ũrĩa mũgeeciirĩrĩra.
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamũhe ciugo na ũũgĩ iria thũ cianyu itakahota gwĩtiiria kana gũkararia.
16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
Nĩmũgakunyanĩrwo o na nĩ aciari anyu, na arĩa mũciaranĩirwo nao, na andũ a mbarĩ cianyu, o na arata, na nĩmakooragithia amwe anyu.
17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
Andũ othe nĩmakamũmena nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
No rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ rũcuĩrĩ o na rũmwe rwa mũtwe wanyu rũkoora.
19 “By your endurance you will win your lives.
Kũũmĩrĩria kwanyu nĩkuo gũgaatũma mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu.
20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
“Rĩrĩa mũkoona Jerusalemu kũrigiicĩirio nĩ thigari cia mbaara, hĩndĩ ĩyo mũkaamenya atĩ kũniinwo kwarĩo kũrĩ hakuhĩ.
21 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa marĩ Judea nĩmorĩre irĩma-inĩ, na arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene nĩmoime kuo, nao arĩa marĩ ngʼongo-inĩ matikarĩtoonye.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩu nĩrĩo rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ rĩa kũherithanio, nĩguo maũndũ marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo mahingio.
23 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.
Kaĩ atumia arĩa magaakorwo marĩ na nda, na arĩa magaakorwo makĩongithia twana matukũ macio nĩmagathĩĩnĩka-ĩ! Nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũyũ nĩũkagĩa na kĩnyariirĩko kĩnene na mangʼũrĩ ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ aya.
24 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.
Nĩmakooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, o na matahwo matwarwo mabũrũri mothe ma thĩ. Itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu nĩrĩkarangĩrĩrio nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nginya mahinda ma andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ mahingio.
25 “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;
“Na nĩgũkagĩa imenyithia thĩinĩ wa riũa na mweri-inĩ na njata-inĩ. Nakuo gũkũ thĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaigua ruo na igegio nĩ mũrurumo wa iria na makũmbĩ ma maaĩ makĩhũũrana.
26 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.
Andũ nĩmakaringĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kũmaka, na guoya wa maũndũ marĩa magooka thĩ, nĩgũkorwo maahinya ma igũrũ nĩmakenyenyio.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakona Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agĩũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa itu arĩ na hinya na riiri mũingĩ.
28 But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maũndũ macio makaambĩrĩria gwĩkĩka-rĩ, mũkaarũgama mũtiire mĩtwe yanyu na igũrũ, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ yanyu ya gũkũũrwo nĩĩkuhĩrĩirie.”
29 He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
Ningĩ akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno: “Ta rorai mũtĩ wa mũkũyũ na mĩtĩ ĩyo ĩngĩ yothe.
30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
Rĩrĩa yathundũra mathangũ, mũmĩonaga na mũkamenya atĩ ihinda rĩa riũa rĩrĩ hakuhĩ.
31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
Ũguo noguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũkoona maũndũ macio mothe magĩkĩka, mũkaamenya o wega atĩ ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie.
32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
“Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, rũciaro rũrũ rũtigathira maũndũ macio mothe matahingĩtio.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
Igũrũ na thĩ nĩigathira, no ciugo ciakwa itigathira.
34 “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.
“Mwĩmenyererei, ngoro cianyu itikanakorwo itahĩtwo nĩ ndĩa, na ũrĩĩu na metanga ma muoyo ũyũ, naguo mũthenya ũcio ũmũkorerere ta mũtego o rĩrĩa mũtangĩĩgereria.
35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
Nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũyũ ũgaakorerera andũ arĩa othe matũũraga thĩ-ĩno.
36 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.”
Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte hĩndĩ ciothe, na mũhooyage nĩguo mũkaahota kũũrĩra maũndũ marĩa makiriĩ gwĩkĩka, na nĩguo mũkaahota kũrũgama mbere ya Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.”
37 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.
Na o mũthenya Jesũ nĩarutanaga hekarũ-inĩ, na hwaĩ-inĩ agathiĩ gũkoma kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩĩtagwo Kĩrĩma kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
38 All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
Nao andũ othe nĩmathiiaga hekarũ-inĩ rũciinĩ tene kũmũthikĩrĩria.
