< Luka 21 >

1 Yesu pealolokesa takataka, avawene vandu vevana vindu vyamahele chevisopa luteta muchijomela cha Nyumba ya Chapanga.
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Mewa amuwene lipwela mngangu isopa mashonga sendi zivili.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 Akajova, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, uyu lipwela mngangu asopili neju kuliku voha.
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 Muni, vangi voha vasopili luteta, muvindu vyavi vyeviyonjokisi, nambu mau uyu pamonga na ungangu waki asopili chindu cheavi nachu ndava ya wumi waki.”
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 Vandu vangi valongelelayi malovi ga kuyivala Nyumba ya Chapanga, cheyinyambwisi bwina kwa maganga ga mashonga gamahele, na luteta zezasopiwi kwa Chapanga kangi Yesu akajova.
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “Goha aga gemkugawona galabwela magono kawaka hati liganga limonga lelisigalila panani ya liganga lingi, kila chindu yati chidenyekana.”
“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 Ndi vakamkota, “Muwula mambu, genago yati gihumila ndali? Hinu ulangisu woki weulangisa papipi pagihumila mambu genago?”
They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 Yesu akavayangula, “Mujiyangalilayi, mkoto kukongiwa muni vamahele yati vibwela na kulihengela liina langu. Kuni kila mmonga yati ijova kuvya ‘Mwene ndi Kilisitu msangula!’ ‘Lukumbi luhikili!’ Nambu nyenye mkoto kuvalanda.
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 Hinu, pamwiyuwana malovi ga ngondo na mng'anamukanu nakuyogopa, muni yiganikwa genago gahumila hoti, nambu pamwishu wene wakona.”
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 Kangi akayendelela kujova, “Vandu va mulima umonga yati witovana na vandu va mulima wungi, na unkosi umonga yati utovana na unkosi wungi.”
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Kila pandu yati pivya na mindendemo yivaha ya ndima na njala na matamu ga kukangasa na kuyogofya, na ulangisu ukulu kuhumila kunani kuliundi.
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 Nambu, kwakona kuhumila genago goha, yati vakuvakamula na vakuvang'aha na kuvapeleka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuvakunga muchifungu, yati vakuvapeleka kwa vankosi na vachilongosi, ndava ya liina langu,
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 muhotola kujova kwa vene.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Mkangamala mumitima yinu, mkoto kuholela kwakona, wuli mukujikengelela,
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 Ndava namwene yati nikuvapela malovi ga luhala, hati makoko winu yati nakuhotola kukangamala amala kuvabelela.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 Vadadi na Vanyina vinu, valongo na vandu va lukolo lwinu na vankozi vinu, yati vakuvang'anamukila nyenye, vangi pagati yinu yati mwikomiwa.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 Vandu voha yati vakuvahakalila nyenye ndava yangu.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 Nambu, hati luyunju lumonga wa mumitu yinu lwiyaga lepi.
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Msindimala, kwa kusindimala kwinu, yati mwisangula wumi winu.
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 Nambu, “Pemwilola chikundi cha manjolinjoli chiutindili muji wa Yelusalemu, mumanya kuvya lusenje lwa kudenyeka kwaki luhikili.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 Hinu, vevavi ku Yudea vajumbalila kuchitumbi na vevavi kumuji vawuka na vevavi kumgunda vala vakotoka kuwuya kumuji.
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 Ndava magono ago ndi magono ga Chapanga kuvabuna vandu vaki, muni kukita mambu goha gegayandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi gahengeka.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Valachikolela vadala vana ndumbu na vevinyongesa magono genago! Muni yati kwiva na mang'ahiso gamahele mu mulima na ligoga la Chapanga likuvabwelela vandu va mulima wa Vayawudi.
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 Vangi vikomiwa kwa upanga, vangi vitoliwa na kupechenganwa mumilima yoha, muji wa Yelusalemu yati wilongoswa na vandu vangali Vayawudi, mbaka mwishu wa ulongosi wavi.”
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 “Yati kwivya na ulangisu mulilanga na mwehi na ndondo. Na vandu pamulima yati vivagaya ndava ya wogohi wa kubuma kwa luyuga lwa nyanja.
“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 Vandu yati vihinduka ndava ya wogohi, pevilola mambu gegakuukolela mulima, muni vindu vyoha vya kulihundi lilanga na mwehi na ndondo na vingi vyoha yati vinyugusika.
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 Kangi, yati vamlola Mwana wa Mundu ibwela mulihundi, ana makakala na ukulu wamahele.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Lukumbi mambu genago pagitumbula kuhumila, myimayi mkangamala, muni kugomboka kwinu kuhegalili.”
But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 Kangi akavajovela luhumu, “Mlola mkongo wa mtini na mikongo yingi yoha.
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30 Pemwilola yitumbula kumela mahamba, mwavene mwimanya kuvya lusenje lwa fula luhegelili.
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 Mewawa, pamwilola mambu genago gihengeka yati mwimanya kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga uvi papipi.
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku ichi cha hinu chipita lepi kwakona genago goha kuhengeka.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 Kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu katu gipita lepi.”
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 “Mujiyangalilayi! Mitima yinu yikotoka kutopelwa, kwa mambu ga kugala na uhutulu na mang'ahiso ga mulima uwu. Muni ligono lenilo likuvabwelela chigafula.
“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 Muni yikuvabwelela ngati likoka vandu voha vevitama pamulima poha.
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Hinu muvyamihu, na muyupayi kwa Chapanga lukumbi lwoha muni muhotola mpata makakala ga kuyepa mambu genago goha pegihumila, na kuyima palongolo ya Mwana wa Mundu.”
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 Kila ligono muhi magono ago, Yesu avi mukuwula vandu mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, nambu kilu ahambayi kuchitumbi cha mizeituni na kutama kwenuko.
Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 Na vandu voha vayumwiki lukela hambakucha kuhamba pa Nyumba ya Chapanga, vapata kumyuwanila Yesu.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
