Luka 21
1 Wabhosya amaso gakwe wabhalola atakili bhaponya esadaka zyabho mwibogosi elye mbuto.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Walola ofwele omo pena aponya mla esenti zibhele.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Wayanga embabhora ono ofwele opena aponyizye zaidi ashile mwenti.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Afwanaje ebho bhonti bhaponyizye esadaka eshoma shashonjelezye zaidi bali ono hupena wakwe aponyizye vyonti vyali navyo.”
5 Na bhantu bhamo bhamo nabhali bhayanga enongwa ezya shimanza ejinsi shari pambwilwe humawe aminza ne salama ezya bhantu ayanjire,
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 “Ega gamgalola, insiku zyayenza ambapo selyaisagala iwe juu eiwe ambalyo salyaibozolwa.”
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Bhabhozya bhayanga, “Sambelezi, amambo ega gayibha ndii? Gape yenu ishara yakwe eyaje amabo ego gali papepe afumire?”
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Wayanga, “Enyaji msije mgakhopelwa. Afwanaje bhinji bhayenza hwitawa lyane, bhayanga, 'Ane nene, 'antele 'Owakati uparamiye basi msabhabhenjezye ebho.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! 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 also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Namwe namwayovwa enongwa ezye ibho nefitina, mgajetishiwe, afwanaje ego segali n ebudi afumire nasoti lelo ula oumalishoro seuhwenza nanali.”
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Esho abhabhorere, “Itaifa lyaisogola akhomane ni taifa, na umwene na khomane no mwene.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Hwayibha na matesya amagosi agensi ne nzala ne tauni hwonti na mambo agatisye ne ishara engosi afume amwanya.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Lelo sagasele ego gonti afumire bhayibhakhata na bhavisye, bhayibhatwala hwitagalila eye mabhanza na bhaponye mwijela, natwalwe hwitagalila elya mwene na maliwali kwajili eyitawa lyane.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Na ego gayibha ushuda hwilimwe.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Basi kusudiri humoyo genyu asinte asebhe sebhe asoti shambhajibu,
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 afwanaje ane embabhapele ilomu ne hekima ambaya atisi bhenyu bhonti sebhayiwezya abhashinde yape wala ayipinje.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Namwe bhayibhalavya ayise bhenyu na horo bhenyu, na mwenyu ma rafiki bhenyu, wape bhayifisya bhamo bhamo.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Namwe bhayibhavitu abhantu bhonti kwajili eyitawa lyane.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Lelo selyayite hata lisisi limo elye mmatwe genyu.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Namwe gagole hwenyu mwayiziponia enafisi genyu.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Lelo epo namwayilola iboma elye Yerusalemu lizyongolelwe na bhanajeshi esho mmanyaje eyaje anachishe hwakwe huparamiye.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Esho bhabhali huyahuda na bhabhali pahati yakwe bhashembelelaje hwonze, na bhabhali humaganda bhaganjehujinjile.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Afwanaje isiku ezyo zyazyo ezye shizanye ili gatinuziwe gonti gage.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Ole wabho abhe lwanda na bhabhahwosya katika ensiku ezyo afwanaje hwabha eshida nyinji mnsi nae ihasira juu ye taifa eli.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] 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! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Bhayigwa hukhali owipanga wape bhayitekwa nyara na hwege katika amataifa gonti na eYerusalemu yayikhanywa na mataifa hata amajira age mataifa nagaitimiziwa.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Antale hwaibha ishara hwisanya no mwezi ne ntondwe na mnsi amalabha aga mataifa, bhaiswiga huvumi owe nongwa na maklabha labha gakwe.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Abhantu bhaivunjiha amoyo huwoga na ahwenyelezye amambo gehagaga ensi. Afwanaje amaha aga mwanya zyayinga.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Epo esho pabhayihulola Umwana owa Adamu nahwenza mwibhengo pandwemo na maha no utukufu ogwinji.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Basi amambo ego nagahwanda afumire changamhaji mbhosyaje amatwe genyu, afwanaje owaule wenyu uparamie.”
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Wabhabhora ofwano, “Lyenyi ikwii na makwii agenje gonti.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Wakati nalimaliha apongore mlola na manye mwemwe yaje amajira oga konje gamalishe abha papepe.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Namwe shesho namlola amambo ega gahwanda afumire manyaji yaje umwene owa Ngolobhe uli papepe.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Amini, embabhora, eshikholo eshi seshashira hata ega gonti gatimile.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Emwanya nensi zyaishila lelo amazu gane segaishira na mwaha.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Eshi hwiyinyaji amogo genyu isibhe egalemewa no ulyavi, no ulevi, namasumbufu ege maisha ega. Isiku lila lyabhenzera nanari neshe atego shahwonza
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 afwanaje esho. Shashayibhenzara abhantu bhonti bhabhakhara pamaso gedunia yonti.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Eshi gonezyaji amwe shila wakati mlabhaje, ili mpate ahwaulwe katikaa ego gonti gagaifumira na hwemilele hwitagalila elya Mwana owa Adamu.”
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Esho shira pasanya abhanga asambelezya maibhanza na nosiku abharaga agone mwigamba lyalihwetwa Mizeituni.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Na bhantu bhonti bhali hadamla khasha bhabhara mwibhanza ili hutejezye.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
