Matthew 24 (MGV)

1Yesu japita pa Nyumba jaka Sapanga, pajabiya jakajenda, banafunzi baki bunzendila, nukulangi Nyumba jaka Sapanga easengiki.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Yesu jaapwagila, “Boo, mgabona le manyumba gangane. Numpwagi sakaka ngalihigali lilibu panani ji lilibu lengi, kila lilibu liihabuliwa pai.”“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

3Yesu pajabii jutemi panani ji Kitombi si Mizeituni, banafunzi baki bunzendila pa kajika bundalukiya, “Tupwagila majambu haga gipitila lile? Na nginyuli boo jewilangia kuhika kwaku na mwisu upundema pane?”While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Yesu jajibua, “Nnzepana mundu jwankonga.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Ndaba bandu bingi bihika ku lihina langu koni apwaaga, ‘Nepani ndi Kilisitu,’ nabombi baakonga bandu bingi.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Mwijowana ngondu na majambu ga ngondu, lakini mwijogopa. Ndaba ganiaga gapalika kupitila hoti, lakini mwisu upundema wakona ngaseguhikike.You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7Musi gumu guikomana na musi gongi, ukolongu gumu gwikomana nu ukolongu gongi. Kwiibiya ni ling'ai li inzala ni kililima kila pandu.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Haga goti gibiya ngati utumbuli gulipyanda ukubeleka mwana.”All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Ndienu bantenda kunng'anambuka nukunng'alisa nu kunkoma. Bandu boti bupunndema bansukila ndaba jukunhobale nepani.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Masoba ge haga bandu bingi biikotuka kuhobale, biing'anambukana nu kusukiana.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Biipitila alota bingi biisoli, nakaakonga bandu bingi.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Ndaba jukujonzukeka ubaja ngani, upali wa bandu bingi gwiitenda kupongoo.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Lakini jojwihinakaliya mbaka pamwisu ndi jojikombuliwa.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Lijambu la Amboni lende lu ubambu ukolongu waka Sapanga liilandiwa kwa bandu boti punndema ili bilijowana nukulibona bandu boti. Ndienu mwisu upunndema pagwihika.”And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15“Pamwibona ‘Liyomisu Lukuhalabana,’ lejalongila mlota waka Sapanga Danieli, lijemiki pandu pa sapi pa Nyumba jaka Sapanga, jojusoma jumanya maana jaki.”So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16Ndienu bandu baabii ku Yudea atilila kuitombi.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Jojubii kunani ja nyumba jaki juhuluka nu kutila bila kujuku sindu mu nyumba jaki.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Jojubi ku litui jwiikelabuka ku nyumba kujuku ingobu yaki.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Bing'alika ngamaa aka nyongo bini hitumbu na bajongesa mu masoba ge haga!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Mundoba Sapanga ili kutila kwinu kwikuba mu masoba gi kipepu au Lisoba lu Kupomulela!Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Ndaba kuibiya na mang'aliku makolongu ngasekuwahiki kupitii tumbuka kubombeka kunndema mbaka lelenu, na ngagipiti kabee mang'aliku makolongu ngati haga.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Ana masoba haga nga gakapungiswi, nga mundu jojakalama, lakini ndaba ja bandu bahaguliwi, Sapanga jupungwisi masoba ge haga.If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

23“Ndienu, mundu najumpwagi lisoba heli, ‘Linga, Kilisitu Nkombosi jubi pamba’ au ‘Jubi palapa,’ mwihobalela.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Ndaba biipitila aka Kilisitu biisoli na alota biisoli. Nabombi biihenga nginyuli ngolongu na ndonduke ili kwaakonga bandu kuwesikana hata bahaguliwi na Sapanga.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Nzowaniya! Nongule kumpwagi lijambu hale kabula masoba kuhika.”See, I have told you in advance.

26“Henu mundu jokapi najumpwaji, ‘Kilisitu Nkombosi jubi kulukoba,’ mwiijenda hoku, au ‘Nndinga jujobiki nkati,’ mwihobale.So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

27Ndaba Mwana waka Mundu kwiibonika ngati unang'anu wikitobi hegunang'ana kunani, kuhuma upandi golipiti lyoba mbaka upandi golijingii lyoba.”For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28Ndaba pokapi pakibii sindu sekiwii ndi paketangana ijuni yebiikikema tai.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29Apalapa masoba haga egiipeta, liyoba baalijegala lwii, na mwehi ngawinang'ane, na ndondu yiiabuka kuhuma kunani kwaka Sapanga na makili ga hindu yeibii kunani gitenda kunyuka.Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

30Ndienu nginyuli yaka Mwana waka Mundu jiibonikana kunani, na bandu bupunndema biitenda kulobalake, bandu bammbona Mwana waka Mundu juhika mu maundi kunani kwaka Sapanga pamu na makili nu ukolongu wingi.At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31Sauti ngolongu ja mapenega jiitenda kujowaneka najombi jaatuma atumi baki bu kunani kwaka Sapanga, baabeka pamu baahaguliwi bala kuhuma pandi yoti yu punndema, kuhuma nndema joti.And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32“Mulibola lilenganu lende kuhuma mu nkongu wu ntini. Mambandi gaki pagatumbuli kuba gundepwani nukutunduli mahamba, mmanya kuegale kuhusa ilebi.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Ahelahe pamwagaabona goti haga mmanya muda guegali.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Numpwagi sakaka, kibeleku senze ngakikui kabula ja majambu ganga kupiti.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Kunani kwaka Sapanga na nndema yoti kwiitenda kupeta lakini malobi gangu ngagiipeti.”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Ngamundu jojumanyiki lisoba wala lisaa, hata atumi bu kunani kwaka Sapanga wala Mwana, ila pee Atati kajika.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Ngati ekwabii mu masoba gaka Noa, ndi ekwibiya ejwihika Mwana waka Mundu.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Ndaba masoba haga kabula jukutwele masi punndema bandu akubika akakula na kunywa, atogulika nukutola aka mbomba, mbaka lisoba Noa pajajingala munhwatu nkolongu gobugukema safina.For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

39Bombi ngasebamanyiki siipitila kii mbaka masi pagatwelila punndema nakajola boti. Hela ndi ekwibiya pajihika Mwana waka Mundu.And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40Masoba gegala bandu abeli biibiya ku lituhi, jumu biitenda kunzuku najongi biitenda kundeka.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Aka nyongo abeli biibiya apola kilebi, jumu biitenda kunzuku na jongi biitenda kundeka.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Ndienu, ntama mihu ndaba ngasemmanyiki lisoba boo pajwihika Bambu winu.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Lakini nkombuka lijambu lende, ngati mwana nyumba ejwakamanyiki lisoba mwii pajihika, jakabiya jutemi mihu, wala ngajikijilei nyumba jaki akonyula.But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

44Ahelahe nanamu mliandia ndaba Mwana waka Mundu juihika mulisaa langa kulimanya mwanganya.”For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45Yesu jaendaliya kupwaaga, “Boo, ntumisi jwaa jojwiihobalika na jwana malangu? Ndi ntumisi jola bambu waki joambeka jwaajemaliya atumisi bangi mu nyumba jaki na kaapeke posu jaki mu masoba gake.Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

46Mbanga mtumisi jola jojuwe bambu waki pajihika ankolila jakahenga hela.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Numpwagi sakaka, bambu hoju ammbeka ntumisi hoju jujemaliya hindu yaki yoti.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Lakini ana ntumisi hoju juliya najilipwaji mweni mmwoju waki, ‘Bambu wango juseliwa kuhika.’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49Ndipala jiitumbuliya kwaalapu atumisi ajaki, nukutumbuli kula na kuywa pamu na alepi.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Bambu waki jwihika lisoba langa kulihobale ni lisaa langa kulimanya.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Ndienu andapula liyaa ntumisi wehoju nukumbeka mulikundi la bandu babilikopake ba amboni, hoku kwiibiya kilelu nukupola minu.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
