¹Zvino wakati achibuda mutembere, umwe wevadzidzi vake wakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tarirai mabwe rudzii, nezvivakwa rudzii!

¹And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

²Jesu achipindura akati kwaari: Unoona zvivakwa izvi zvikuru here? Hakungasiiwi ibwe pamusoro pebwe, risingazoputsirwi pasi.

²And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

³Zvino wakati agara pagomo reMiorivhi, pakatarisana netembere, Petro, naJakobho, naJohwani, naAndiriya vakamubvunza vari vega, vachiti:

³And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

⁴Tiudzei, izvozvi zvichagova rinhi? Nechiratidzo chii kana izvozvi zvose zvozadziswa?

⁴Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

⁵Zvino Jesu achivapindura akatanga kuti: Chenjerai kusava neunokutsausai.

⁵And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

⁶Nekuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini iye, vachazotsausa vazhinji.

⁶For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁷Asi kana muchinzwa zvehondo, nerunyerekupe rwehondo, musakanganiswa nekuti zvinofanira kumboitika; asi kuguma kuchigere.

⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

⁸Nekuti rudzi ruchamukira rudzi; neushe huchamukira ushe; uye kuchava nekudengenyika kwenyika kunzvimbo dzakasiyana siyana, uye kuchava nenzara, nematambudziko; izvi kutanga kwekurwadziwa.

⁸For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

⁹Zvichenjererei imwi, nekuti vachakukumikidzai kumatare emakurukota, uye mumasinagoge mucharohwa, uye muchauyiswa pamberi pevatongi nemadzimambo nekuda kwangu, chive chapupu kwavari.

⁹But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

¹⁰Uye evhangeri inofanira kutanga kuparidzirwa kumarudzi ose.

¹⁰And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

¹¹Asi kana vachikuuyisai vachikutengesai, musafunganya pakutanga zvamuchataura kana kufanorangarira, asi chero zvamunenge mapiwa nenguva iyo taurai izvozvo; nekuti hamusi imwi munotaura, asi Mweya Mutsvene.

¹¹But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

¹²Zvino mukoma uchatengesera munin'ina kurufu, nababa mwanakomana; nevana vachamukira vabereki nekuvaurayisa;

¹²Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

¹³uye muchavengwa nevose nekuda kwezita rangu; asi unotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye uchaponeswa.

¹³And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴Zvino kana muchiona nyangadzi yekuparadza yakataurwa naDhanyeri muporofita, imire paisingafaniri (unorava ngaanzwisise), zvino vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo;

¹⁴But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

¹⁵neuri pamusoro pedenga reimba ngaarege kuburukira mumba, kana kupinda kunotora chinhu mumba make.

¹⁵And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

¹⁶Neuri mumunda ngaarege kutendeukira shure kunotora nguvo yake.

¹⁶And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

¹⁷Asi vachaona nhamo avo vane mimba neavo vanomwisa nemazuva iwayo!

¹⁷But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

¹⁸Asi nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuva muchando.

¹⁸And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

¹⁹Nekuti mumazuva iwayo kuchavapo kutambudzika, kwakadaro kusati kwambovapo kubva pakutanga kwezvisikwa Mwari zvaakasika kusvikira zvino, uye hakuchazovipo.

¹⁹For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

²⁰Dai Ishe asina kuatapudza mazuva, hakuna chero nyama yaiponeswa; asi nekuda kwevasanangurwa, vaakasanangura, wakaatapudza mazuva.

²⁰And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

²¹Uye ipapo kana munhu achiti kwamuri: Tarirai, Kristu pano; kana: Tarirai apo, musatenda;

²¹And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

²²nekuti vana Kristu venhema, nevaporofita venhema vachamuka, vagoratidza zviratidzo nezvishamiso, kuti vatsause, kana zvichibvira, kunyange vasanangurwa.

²²For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

²³Asi chenjerai imwi; tarirai, ndagara ndakuudzai zvinhu zvose.

²³But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴Asi nemazuva iwayo, shure kwekutambudzika ikoko, zuva richasvibiswa, nemwedzi hauchazopi chiedza chawo,

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁵nenyeredzi dzekudenga dzichawa, nemasimba ari kumatenga achazungunuswa.

²⁵And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

²⁶Ipapo vachaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mumakore ane simba guru nekubwinya,

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

²⁷ipapo uchatuma vatumwa vake, vagounganidza pamwe vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina, kubva kumugumo wenyika kusvikira kumugumo wedenga.

²⁷And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

²⁸Zvino dzidzai mufananidzo kubva pamuonde; kana davi rawo rava ikozvino nyoro, richitunga mashizha, munoziva kuti zhizha raswedera.

²⁸Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

²⁹Saizvozvo imwiwo, kana muchiona zvinhu izvi zvichiitika, zivai kuti zvava pedo wava pamukova.

²⁹So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁰Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri, kusvikira zvinhu izvi zvose zvaitika.

³⁰Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

³¹Denga nenyika zvichapfuura; asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³²Asi zvezuva iro nenguva, hakuna unoziva, kunyange vatumwa vari kudenga, kunyange Mwanakomana, kunze kwaBaba.

³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³Chenjerai, murinde, munyengetere; nekuti hamuzivi kuti nguva ndeyarini.

³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

³⁴Semunhu wakafamba rwendo, akasiya imba yake, akapa simba kuvaranda vake, kune umwe neumwe basa rake, akarairawo murindi wemukova kuti arinde.

³⁴For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

³⁵Naizvozvo rindai; nekuti hamuzivi kuti mwene weimba unouya rinhi, manheru, kana pakati pousiku, kana pakurira kwejongwe, kana mangwanani;

³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

³⁶kuti arege kuerekana auya, akakuwanai muvete.

³⁶Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷Nezvandinotaura kwamuri, ndinotaurira vose: Rindai.

³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
