He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 akati,”kyang'haani nikuvavula unfwile uju unkotofu ivikile indalama nyinga kukila avange voooni.
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 ava vooni vahumisie ilitekelo ili kuhuma mufinga fino valinafyo. neke unfwile uju mu vukotofu vwake ahumisie indalamasooni sino avele naso vwimila uvwumi vwake”
5 ye avange valyale vijova isa nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila, ndavule jilyavikilue na mavue amanono na matekelo, akati,
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 mu mhola isa mbombo sino mukusagha, ifighono fikwisa fino nakwekuliva nilivue limo lino lililekua nkyanya ja livue ilinge lino nalilighua.
“[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 pe vakamposia vakati, Mbulanisi isi sooni silihumila lighi? kwe kiliku kino kiliva kye kivalilo kuuti agha ghalipipi kuhumila?
[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 uYesu akamwamula, “muvisaghe maaso kuuti namungasyanguaghe. ulwakuva vingi vikwisa ku litavua lyango viti,”une nene, nu nsiki ghulipipi. namungavavingililaghe.
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 mungapulike ivuluguvulugu namungoghwopaghe, ulwakuva isi sooni sinoghile sihumile taasi. neke uvusililo navulihimila ng'hani ng'hani”
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 pe pano akavavula,” iisi jilikwima na kutovana ni jinge, uvutwa ku vutwa uvunge.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 kuliva ni finsenyena ifikome, injala ni nhamu isa kwambukila siliva papinga. kwe kuliva ni finu fya kwoghofia ni fivalilo fya kwoghofia kuhuma kukyanya.
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 neke isio sooni ye sikyale kuhumila, tiko avaanhu vilikuvakoola umue na kukuvapumusia. vilikuvawala kukuahigha mu nyumba isa kufunyila, na kukuvadindila mu ndinde. kange mulitwalua ku vatwa na ku vanya vutavulilua kuuti muhighue ulwakuva umue muli vavvulanisivua vango.
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 neke kulyumue aghuo ghuva ghwe nsiki ghwa kwoleka ulwitiko lwinu.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 pe lino mwamulaghe mu moojo ghinu ku ling'ania avimilisi viinu ye lukyale.
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 ulwakuva nikuvapela amasio agha vukoola vuno avalugu viinu voni vikunuagha kusigha na kukujikana.
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 neke mulikanwa na vapafi vinu, avanyalukolo vinu, avapipi vinu na vamanyani vinu, kange vilikuvabuda vamonga mu lyumue,
[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 vilikunkalalila umuunu ghweni ku litavua lyango.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 neke nakwelule nambe ulunyele lumo lwa matu ghinu luno lulisova.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 ku lugudo mukusisosia inumbula sinu.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”

“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 apuo vano vali ku Yudea vakimbililaghe ku fidunda, na vala vano vali pakate pa mpulo vavukaghe, kange namungavalekaghe vano vali kufikaaja kukwingila.
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 ulwakuva ifi fye fighono fya kuhombekesia, neke kuuti ghooni ghano ghalembilue ghiise kuvombeka.
[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 iga ku vala vano vali nuvukunue na vala vano vikwong'esia ku fighono ifio! ulwakuva kuliiva nulupumuko lukome mu iisi, ni ng'halasi ku vaaanhu ava.
[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 avaanhu avange vilibudua ni bambaavange vilitwalua ku vukamiku iisi isinge, ni Yelusalemu jilikanyua na vaanhu va iisi kuhanga unsiki ghwa vaanhu va iisi pano ghuuva ghufikile.
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 fili vineka ifivalilo ku lijuva, umwesi ni nhondue, neke pa iisi apa inyanja siliva na mavingo amavaha amanya mughindi, uluo lulipelela avaanhu ava fisina fyonikuuva nulupumuko nu ludwesi.
“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 isi sooni siliva sikwisa mu iisi, avaanhu ghulifua umwoojovwimila kukwoghopa kyongo. vilisaghagha kuuti lukwisa ulutalamu ulukome, ulwakuva ifinu ifya kukyanya filisukanisivua,
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 pepano vilikumwagha umwana ghwa muunhu ikwisa kuhuma mumafunde ku ngufu nu vwimike uvuvaha.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 neke isio sooni silava sitengula kuhumila, mwimaghe, inulagha amatu ghinu, ulwakuva uvupoki vwinu vuvelelile pavupipi.
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 uYesu akavavula ku kihwanikisio akati, lolagha umpiki ghwa tini na mapiki ghoni.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 pano muvona amapiki ghatengwile kulemba, mukujilolela jumue na kukagula kuuti amasiki gha lufuke ghalipipi.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 vule vule pano muvona agha ghihumila umue kagulagha kuuti, uvutwa vwa Nguluve vulipipi.
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 kyang'haani nikuvavula, ikisina iki nakilikila, kuhanga isi sooni sihumile.
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 uvulanga ni iisi silikila, neke amasio ghango looli naghilikila.
[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 neke mujilolelelaghe jumue, neke kuuti, amoojo ghinu naghangalemuaghe nu vuhojofu, uvughasi, nuvukaming'anilua vwa iisi iji. ulwakuva ikighono ikio kilavisila mu lwa ng'enyemukila hwene lutegho.
“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 ulwakuva jiiva kwa muunhu ghweni juno ikukala pa maaso gha iisi jooni.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 lino muvisaghe maaso unsiki ghwoni, mun'sumaghe uNguluve kuuti muva lukangafu lwa kukwilana kukughaseghuka agha ghoni ghano kyale ghihumila, na kukwima pavulongolo pa mwana ghwa Muunhu”.
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 mu fighono ifio pamwisi, uYesu alyale ivulanisia avaanhu mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila. pakilo akalutagha kughona ku kidunda ikya Miseituni.
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 neke jaatu avaanhu voni vakasisimukagha lulwakilo na kuluta mu nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila kuuti vampulikisie.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
