Matthew 24 (YOM)

1Yesu bu katotuka mu Nzo Nzambi, minlonguki miandi mifikama va kaba muingi mimmonisa phila yitungulu Nzo Nzambi beni.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Buna wuba kamba : —Lummona mamoso mama e ? Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti kadi ditadi dimosi dilendi siala ko va mbata ditadi dinkaka, mamo mela tiolomono.“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.”

3Bu kavuanda va mongo minti mi Olive, minlonguki miandi miyiza miawu veka ayi minyuvula : —Wutukamba thangu mbi mambu beni mela vangimina ayi dimbu mbi kiela monisa phutukulu aku ayi tsukulu yi nza e ?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 wuba vutudila : —Lukeba luedi vunu kuidi mutu !Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Bila bawombo bela kuizila mu dizina diama ayi bela tuba : “Minu ndidi Klisto !” ayi bela vuna bawombo.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Luela wa zitsangu zi zimvita ayi biyoko bi zimvita vayi lubika ba boma-boma. Mambu beni mafueti vangama vayi yawu ko yela ba tsukulu yi nza.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.

7Bila tsi yimosi yela nuanisa tsi yinkaka ayi batu ba kipfumu kimosi bela nuanisa batu ba kipfumu kinkaka. Nzala yela ba yiwombo, ntoto wela nikuka mu bibuangu biwombo.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Vayi mambu moso mama mela ba thonono yi minsongo banga mi nketo weka buta.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9Buna bela kuluyekula mu diambu luyamusu ayi bela kuluvonda. Batu ba makanda moso bela kululenda mu diambu di dizina diama.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Mu thangu yina batu bawombo bela loza minu kiawu, bela kuki vakusa ayi bela lendasana bawu yi bawu.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Mimbikudi miwombo mi luvunu miela totuka ayi miela vuna batu bawombo.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Bila mambu mambimbi mela buelama, luzolo lu batu bawombo luela dekuka.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Vayi woso wela kanga ntima nate kuna tsukulu wela vuka.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Buna Nsamu wawu wumboti wu Kipfumu wela longo va nza yimvimba mu diambu di wuba kimbangi kuidi batu ba makanda ma zitsi zioso. Buna bosi tsukulu yi nza yela ba.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—Diawu thangu luela mona mbungi wowo wuyolukila mbikudi Danieli, telimini va buangu kinlongo, mutu wowo wulembo tangi bika kasudikaSo when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16buna boso batu bela batakana mu tsi Yuda batinina ku miongo.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Woso mutu widi ku mbata muanzu, kabika kuluka mu diambu kabonga bima bidi mu nzoꞌandi.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Woso mutu wela batakana mu tsola kabika buela vutuka ku manima mu bonga yunga kiandi.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Mabienga mela ba mu bilumbu bina kuidi baketo bela ba mu buemba ayi kuidi bobo bela yemika.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Lusambila muingi lumbu beni kioki luela tina kibika ba mu thangu kiozi kingolo voti mu lumbu ki saba.Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Bila ziphasi beni ziela ba zingolo, nkutu ziphasi zina zibedi ko tona thonono nza nate buabu ayi ziphasi zi phila yina zilendi buela ba ko.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Enati Pfumu kasia baka ko lukanu lu kufisa bilumbu beni, nganu kadi mutu wumosi kalendi vuka ko. Vayi wela kufisa biawu mu diambu di batu bobo kasobula.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.

23Enati mutu wulukembi : “Lutala ! Klisto widi vava”, voti “widi kuna”, lubika kunwilukila.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Bila Baklisto ba luvunu ayi mimbikudi mi luvunu miwombo miela totuka ayi bela vanga bidimbu binneni ayi bikumu bi tsisi muingi babaka bu vunina enati baka bubela, batu bobo Nzambi kasobula.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Tala, ndilulubudi.See, I have told you in advance.

26Enati mutu wulukembi ti : “Tala widi ku dikanga” lubika kuenda kuna. Voti : “Tala ! Widi mu bibuangu bisuama”, lubika wilukila !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.

27Bila ndizulu yi Muana Mutu yela ba banga bunkuizilanga lusiemo lueti tonina ku Esite nate ku Wesite.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.

28Bila koso kuidi mvumbi kuawu ku nkutakananga bibala.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29Ziphasi zi bilumbu beni bu ziela tumbu manisa, buna thangu yela tumbu nomba ngondi yela zimbisa miezi miandi, zimbuetete ziela doduka tona mu diyilu ayi lulendo lu diyilu luela nikuka.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.’

30Buna dimbu ki Muana Mutu kiela monika mu Diyilu ayi batu ba makanda moso ma ntoto bela nionga ayi bela mona Muana Mutu wunkuizila mu matuti ma diyilu, mu lulendo ayi mu nkembo wunneni.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.

31Thangu tulumbeta yinneni yela siku, niandi wela tuma zimbasi ziandi. Ziawu ziela kutikisa batu bandi boso bobo kasobula mu zitsongi ziya zi nza, tona ku tonina nza nate ku sukisina nza.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.

32Bika lulonguka dilongi di nti wu figi : Enati matafi mandi meka malebila ayi enati matonini totula meza, buna luzebi ti thangu mvula yifikimini.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Beno mamveno bobuawu, buna luela mona mambu moso momo buna luzaba ti Muana Mutu weka nduka kuiza, banga ti niandi weka va muelo.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti tsungi yayi yilendi kiviokila ko tuamina mambu mama mavangama.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Diyilu ayi ntoto biela vioka vayi mambu mama malendi vioka ko !Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36Vayi mu diambu di thangu voti lumbu kiela vangama mambu beni, kadi mutu wumosi kasi zaba ko ayi zimbasi zisi zaba ko, ka diambu ko Muana kasi zaba ko. Vayi Tata kaka zebi.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Mambu momo mavangama mu thangu Nowa mela buela vangama mu thangu Muana Mutu kela kuiza.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Bila tuamina khuka yi nlangu, batu badia ayi banua, bakuelana, bakuedisa nate mu lumbu kikota Nowa mu masuwa.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.

39Vayi basia zaba diambu dikubabuila ko nate khuka yi nlangu yiyiza ayi yimana vitumuna bawu boso. Bobo buela bela thangu Muana Mutu kela kuiza.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.

40Diawu babakala buadi bela ba mu tsola, wumosi wela bongo wunkaka wela siala.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Baketo buadi bela nika zithete va ditadi, wumosi wela bongo wunkaka wela siala.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Diawu diodi luzibula meso, bila lusia zaba ko lumbu kiela kuiza Pfumu eno.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Luzebi mboti ti enati Pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu muivi kalenda kuizila va builu, nganu kalendi baka bu lekila ko muingi muivi kabika kota mu nzoꞌandi.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.

44Diawu beno mamveno, lukubama bila Muana Mutu wela kuiza mu thangu yi lukambulu bela mayindu.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45Nani kisadi kikuikama ayi kidiela kioki Pfumu andi kabiekidi mu sunganga bisadi binkaka muingi kaba vananga bidia mu thangu yi fuana ?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?

46Khini yiwombo yela ba kuidi kisalu kioki enati Pfumu andi wiza kumbata wulembo sadi bumboti kisalu kioki bambiekila.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Bukiedika ndikulukamba Pfumu andi wela kunyekudila katalanga bima biandi bioso.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Vayi enati kidi kisadi kimbimbi, maka niunguta ti : “Pfumu ama kakadi vika kuiza !”But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49Ayi wukiyekudi mu yamisanga bisadi binkaka ayi mu dianga ayi nuanga va kimosi ayi bikolo-mbungu.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Bosi ti pfumu andi wizidi mu lumbu kioki kakambulu mayindu ; mu thangu yika kambulu zabaThe master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51buna Pfumu wela kunzenga mu bitini ayi wela kuntula mu ntanda wu batu ba mayuya. Kuna kuidi bidilu ayi nkuetoso wu meno.Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
