Matthew 24 (ZAJ)

1Yesu kalawa Kung'anda ya Mulungu, na viyakalile yochola wanahina zake wamcholela giladi wamulagusile ng'anda zizunguluke Ing'anda ya Mulungu.As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

2Yesu kalonga, “Mozona ng'anda zino zose? Nowalongela ikweli, haduhu hata dibwe dimwe dondadisigale uchana ya diyagwe, dondadileke kubomoligwa.”“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 viyakalile yakalile Hakigongo cha Mizaituni, wanahina wamcholela weiyeka, wamulongela, “Tulongele, zua jaki vondagalawilile gano, na choni chondakiwe kilaguso cha wizilo wako na idizua da kimambukizo?”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 kawalongela, “Teganyeni, munhu sambiyawagize.Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5Kwavija wanhu bwando wokwiza mtwaga jangu, wolonga, ‘Nie iyo Kilisto!’ Na wowagiza wanhu bwando.For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6Mohulika ng'hondo na singilimo za ng'hondo, ila sambimdumbe. Kwavija vinhu kamba vino volondigwa vilawilile, ila ikimambukizo hakinavika.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.

7Isi yogomba na isi iyagwe, na undewa wouvamhila undewa uyagwe. Yolawila nzala na mgudemo wa isi kila hanhu.Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8Gano gose gowa kamba mwanduso wa usungu wa kulela mwana.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9“Abaho, mogogigwa giladi mgazigwe na kukomigwa. Na wanhu wose wa isi zose wowehila sama yangu nie.Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10Kipigiti kija wanhu bwando woileka nhamanila yao, na kukiihonza na kukiihila wenyego kwa wenyego.At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11Abaho, wahokozi bwando wa uvwizi wolawilila, na kuwagiza wanhu bwando.and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

12Sama ya kongezeka mbuli zihile, noge da wanhu bwando dohuha.Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

13Ila yondayananahile mbaka hakimambukizo, iyo yondayakomboligwe.But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14Na Usenga uno Unogile wa Undewa wa Mulungu wopetigwa kila hanhu muulumwengu wose giladi uwe usindila ha wanhu wa isi zose, abaho, ikimambukizo cha isi leka kize.”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.

15Munhu yondayasome yaitange nhegulo yake! Yesu kagendelela kulonga, “Muhachona ‘Kinhu Kinyolodoke Kigala Ubananzi’ kilongigwe na muhokozi Danieli kima Hanhu Hang'alile Ng'hani Muing'anda ya Mulungu,So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16avo, awo wali Yudea wakimbilile m'vigongo.then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17Munhu yoyose yali mkiswili cha ng'anda yake sambiyahumuluke hasi na kusola kinhu chochose kulawa mng'anda yake.Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

18Munhu yoyose yali kumgunda sambiyabwele kusola kivalo chake.And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19Wojona watwanzi wali na inda na watwanzi wali na ving'hele mmazua higo!How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20Tambikeni giladi ng'himbila yenu sambiiwe mkipigiti cha kihuhe ama mkipigiti cha Zua da Mhumulo!Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21Kwavija wowa mgayo mkulu, haunapata kulawilila songela kulumbigwa kwa ulumwengu mbaka sambi, na haulawila kabili mgayo kamba hiwo.For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22Na kamba kipigiti kija sambikihunguzwe na Mulungu, haduhu munhu yahadahile kukombolwa, ila sama ya wanhu wasaguligwe na Mulungu, kipigiti hicho kihunguzwa.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“Abaho, kamba munhu yoyose yahawalongela, ‘Lola! Kilisto kahano,’ ama ‘Kahaja!’ Sambimtogole.At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24Kwavija makilisto wa uvwizi na wahokozi wa uvwizi wolawila, wotenda vilaguso na mizonza mikulu giladi kamba vihadahika wawagize hata wanhu wasaguligwe na Mulungu.For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25Tegelezeni! Niwalongela nisha mbuli zino kipigiti king'hali hakinavika.See, I have told you in advance.

26“Avo kamba wanhu wahawalongela, ‘Kamkiwala!’ Sambimchole, ama wahalonga, ‘Kakugati!’ Sambimtogole.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.

27Kwavija kamba lumwemwe vulumwemwesa kulawa haulawilo wa zua na koneka mbaka kuuswelo wa zua, na Mwana wa Munhu vivo vondayoneke kipigiti vondayeze.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.

28“Hohose hali na mtufi baho hondawaiting'hane vimhungu.Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29“Bahaja ikipigiti cha mazua ga mgayo vondakimale, zua doziziwala, mulenge haulava mulangaza wake, nhondo zolagala kulawa kuulanga, na mhiko za kuulanga zokwekwesigwa kulawa hazikalile.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.’

30Abaho, kilaguso cha Mwana wa Munhu chokoneka kuulanga, na wanhu wa isi zose wolila ahaja vondawanyone nie Mwana wa Munhu nikwiza muna gamawingu ga kuulanga na mhiko na yenzi ng'hulu.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.

31Kowalagiza wasenga zake wa kuulanga wali na mhalati ilava dizwi kulu, na wowakunzanya wanhu zake wasaguligwe na Mulungu kulawa ng'ambu zose za ulumwengu.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“Muifundize mum'biki wa mtini. Matambi gake gahasonga udeke wa kuzuka na kulava matepo, movitanga kamba vuli da mmabehi.Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

33Vivija na mweye, muhazona mbuli zino zose, m'vitange kamba ka mmabehi kwiza.So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

34Nowalongela ikweli, wanhu wa mulelo uno hawadanganhika mbaka mbuli zino zose zilawilile.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

35Ulanga na isi vose vobita, ila mbuli zangu hazibita.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

36“Haduhu munhu yoditanga zua ama saa, si wasenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga, ama Mwana, ila Tata yeiyeka.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

37Kwiza kwa Mwana wa Munhu kowa kamba mkipigiti cha Nuhu.As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38Kwavija mmemelo wa mazi vuukalile haunalawila, wanhu wakala woja na kung'wa, wasola na kusoligwa, mbaka zua dija Nuhu viyengile muisafina,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.

39hawakitangile kija kilondile kulawilila, mbaka mmemelo wa mazi vuwizile na kuwakoma wanhu wose. Na vino vivo vondayeze Mwana wa Munhu.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.

40Mkipigiti hicho, wambigalo wabili wolima mumgunda, imwe kosoligwa na iyagwe kolekigwa.Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

41Watwanzi wabili wotwanga, imwe kosoligwa na iyagwe kolekigwa.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42“Avo goneleleni, kwavija hamuditanga zua dondayeze Mndewa wenu.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

43Ila m'vitange kamba, kamba mwene ng'anda yahakitangile kipigiti chondayeze m'bavi, yahagonelele na sambiyaileke ng'anda yake ibomoligwe.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.

44Avo, na mweye muisasale, kwavija Mwana wa Munhu kokwiza mkipigiti hamkitangile.For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45“Yalihi mtumigwa mwende na m'bala, mndewa wake yamtendile salange wa watumigwa wali mng'anda yake yondayawagwelele mandia gao mkipigiti kilondigwa?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?

46Kamota mtumigwa ija mndewa wake yahabwela yom'vika yotenda vino!Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

47Nowalongela ikweli, komtenda yawe mkulu wa vinhu vake vose.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48Ila kamba ija imtumigwa yehile koilongela mwenyego, ‘Mndewa wangu kokawa kubwela,’But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

49na kusonga kuwatoa watumigwa wayage na kuja na kung'wa na wang'wa ugimbi.And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

50Abaho, mndewa wa imtumigwa ija kokwiza mdizua yalekile kudigelegeza na saa yalekile kuitanga.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

51Abaho, komkanha vidangavidanga imtumigwa ija na kumwika mdidale dimwe na videlenya. Ako kowa na kililo na kugegedula 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.
