Mathayo 24
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Yesu alitoka Hekaluni, na alipokuwa akienda zake, wanafunzi wake walimwendea, wakamwonyesha majengo ya Hekalu.
1And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2Yesu akawaambia, “Sawa, mnaweza kuyatazama haya yote! Kweli nawaambieni, hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia hapa juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitaharibiwa.”
2And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
3Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni, wanafunzi walimwendea faraghani, wakamwuliza, “Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kuja kwako na mwisho wa nyakati?”
3And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world?
4Yesu akawajibu, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.
4And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you:
5Maana wengi watatokea na kulitumia jina langu wakisema: Mimi ndiye Kristo, nao watawapotosha watu wengi.
5For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
6Mtasikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita; lakini msifadhaike, maana hayo hayana budi kutokea, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.
6And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine; ufalme mmoja utapigana na ufalme mwingine. Hapa na pale patakuwa na njaa na mitetemeko ya ardhi.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places:
8Yote hayo ni kama mwanzo wa maumivu ya kujifungua mtoto.
8Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9“Kisha watawatoeni ili mteswe na kuuawa. Mataifa yote yatawachukieni kwa ajili ya jina langu.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.
10Tena, wengi wataiacha imani yao, watasalitiana na kuchukiana.
10And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
11Watatokea manabii wengi wa uongo watakaowapotosha watu wengi.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
12Kwa sababu ya ongezeko la uhalifu, upendo wa watu wengi utafifia.
12And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
13Lakini atakayevumilia mpaka mwisho, ataokoka.
13But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
14Ila, kabla ya mwisho kufika, hii Habari Njema ya Ufalme wa Mungu itahubiriwa ulimwenguni kote kama ushuhuda kwa mataifa yote.
14And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come.
15“Basi, mtakapoona Chukizo Haribifu lililonenwa na nabii Danieli limesimama mahali patakatifu, (msomaji na atambue maana yake),
15When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
16hapo, walioko Yudea na wakimbilie milimani.
16Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
17Aliye juu ya paa la nyumba yake asishuke kuchukua kitu nyumbani mwake.
17And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.
18And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.
19Ole wao kina mama waja wazito na wanaonyonyesha siku hizo!
19And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.
20Ombeni ili kukimbia kwenu kusiwe siku za baridi au siku ya Sabato!
20But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
21Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki kuu ambayo haijapata kuwako tangu mwanzo wa ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitapata kutokea tena.
21For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
22Kama siku hizo hazingalipunguzwa, hakuna binadamu yeyote ambaye angeokoka; lakini siku hizo zitapunguzwa kwa ajili ya wale walioteuliwa.
22And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
23“Basi, mtu akiwaambieni siku hizo: Kristo yuko hapa au Yuko pale, msimsadiki.
23Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him.
24Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo. Watafanya ishara kubwa na maajabu ya kuweza kuwapotosha ikiwezekana hata wateule wa Mungu.
24For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
25Sikilizeni, nimekwisha kuwaonya kabla ya wakati.
25Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
26Basi, wakiwaambieni, Tazameni, yuko jangwani, msiende huko; au, Tazameni, amejificha ndani, msisadiki;
26If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not.
27maana, kama vile umeme uangazavyo toka mashariki hadi magharibi, ndivyo kutakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Mtu.
27For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
28Pale ulipo mzoga, ndipo watakapokusanyika tai.
28Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
29“Mara baada ya dhiki ya siku hizo, jua litatiwa giza, mwezi hautaangaza, nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.
29And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
30Kisha, ishara ya Mwana wa Mtu itaonekana angani, na hapo makabila yote duniani yatalalamika; watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija juu ya mawingu ya angani mwenye nguvu na utukufu mwingi.
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
31Naye atawatuma malaika wake wenye tarumbeta la kuvuma sana, nao watawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, toka mwisho huu wa mbingu hadi mwisho huu.
31And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
32“Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano huu: Mara tu matawi yake yanapoanza kuwa laini na kuchanua majani, mnajua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.
32And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
33Hali kadhalika nanyi mtakapoona mambo haya yote yakitendeka, jueni kwamba yuko karibu sana.
33So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
34Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitapita kabla ya mambo hayo yote kutukia.
34Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35Naam, mbingu na dunia zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
35Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
36“Lakini, juu ya siku au saa hiyo, hakuna mtu ajuaye itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana, ila Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.
36But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.
37Kwa maana kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Mtu.
37And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38Maana nyakati hizo, kabla ya gharika kuu, watu walikuwa wakila na kunywa, wakioa na kuolewa, mpaka Noa alipoingia ndani ya ile safina.
38For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark,
39Hawakujua kuna nini mpaka ile gharika ilipotokea, ikawakumba wote. Ndivyo itakavyokuwa wakati Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuja.
39And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
40Wakati huo watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.
40Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
41Kina mama wawili watakuwa wanasaga nafaka, mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
42Basi, kesheni, kwa maana hamjui siku atakayokuja Bwana wenu.
42Watch ye therefore, because ye know not what hour your Lord will come.
43Lakini kumbukeni jambo hili: kama mwenye nyumba angejua siku mwizi atakapofika, angekesha, wala hangeiacha nyumba yake ivunjwe.
43But know this ye, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
44Kwa hiyo, nanyi pia muwe tayari, kwa maana Mwana wa Mtu atakuja saa msiyoitazamia.”
44Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
45Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Ni nani basi mtumishi mwaminifu na mwenye busara, ambaye bwana wake atamweka juu ya watu wake, awape chakula kwa wakati wake?
45Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season.
46Heri mtumishi yule ambaye bwana wake atakapokuja atamkuta akifanya hivyo.
46Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.
47Kweli nawaambieni, atamweka mtumishi huyo aisimamie mali yake yote.
47Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.
48Lakini kama mtumishi mbaya akijisemea moyoni: Bwana wangu anakawia kurudi,
48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:
49kisha akaanza kuwapiga watumishi wenzake, akaanza kula na kunywa pamoja na walevi,
49And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:
50bwana wake atakuja siku asiyoitazamia na saa asiyoijua.
50The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knoweth not:
51Atamkatilia mbali na kumweka kundi moja na wanafiki. Huko kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.
51And shall separate him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
