¹Zvino Jesu wakabuda akabva patembere; vadzidzi vake ndokuswedera kuzomuratidza zvivakwa zvetembere.

¹And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,

²Jesu akati kwavari: Hamuoni zvinhu izvi zvose here? Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakungatozongosiiwi pano ibwe pamusoro pebwe risingazoputsirwi pasi.

²and Jesus said to them, `Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.`

³Kuzoti agere pagomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari vega vachiti: Tiudzei, zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chekuuya kwenyu nechokuguma kwenyika chichava chipi?

³And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?`

⁴Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Chenjerai kuti kusava neunokutsausai;

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

⁵nekuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye vachatsausa vazhinji.

⁵for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

⁶Zvino muchanzwa zvehondo nerunyerekupe rwehondo; chenjerai, musakanganiswa; nekuti zvose zvinofanira kuitika; asi kuguma kuchigere.

⁶and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

⁷Nekuti rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe, uye kuchava nenzara, nematenda, nekudengenyeka kwenyika kunzvimbo dzakasiyana siyana.

⁷`For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;

⁸Asi zvose izvi kutanga kwemarwadzo emimba.

⁸and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;

⁹Ipapo vachakukumikidzai mukutambudzika, uye vachakuurayai; uye muchavengwa nemarudzi ose nekuda kwezita rangu.

⁹then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

¹⁰Zvino vazhinji vachagumbuswa, uye vachatengesana, nekuvengana.

¹⁰and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

¹¹Uye vaporofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka, vatsause vazhinji.

¹¹`And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

¹²Nekuti kuipa kuchawanda, rudo rwevazhinji rwuchatonhora.

¹²and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;

¹³Asi unotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye uchaponeswa.

¹³but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

¹⁴Uye evhangeri iyi yeushe ichaparidzwa munyika yose chive uchapupu kumarudzi ose; ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.

¹⁴and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

¹⁵Naizvozvo kana muchiona nyangadzi yekuparadza yakarehwa naDhanyeri muporofita, imire panzvimbo tsvene (unorava ngaanzwisise),

¹⁵`Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

¹⁶zvino vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo;

¹⁶then those in Judea — let them flee to the mounts;

¹⁷uri pamusoro pedenga reimba ngaarege kuburuka kuzotora chinhu kubva mumba make;

¹⁷he on the house-top — let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;

¹⁸neuri kumunda ngaarege kudzokera shure kunotora nguvo dzake.

¹⁸and he in the field — let him not turn back to take his garments.

¹⁹Mune nhamo vane mimba nevanomwisa nemazuva iwayo!

¹⁹`And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

²⁰Asi nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuva mukuvhuvhuta, kana nesabata.

²⁰and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;

²¹Nekuti ipapo kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru, kusati kwakambovapo kwakadaro kubva pakutanga kwenyika kusvikira zvino, uye kusingazovipozve.

²¹for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

²²Dai mazuva iwayo asaipfupiswa, hakuna nyama zvachose yaiponeswa; asi nekuda kwevasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achapfupiswa.

²²And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

²³Zvino kana munhu akati kwamuri: Tarirai, Kristu pano, kana apo, musatenda.

²³`Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

²⁴Nekuti kuchamuka vana Kristu venhema nevaporofita venhema, vachaita zviratidzo zvikuru nezvishamiso, zvekuti kana zvichibvira, vatsause nevasanagurwa.

²⁴for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

²⁵Tarirai, ndagara ndakuudzai.

²⁵Lo, I did tell you beforehand.

²⁶Naizvozvo kana vakati kwamuri: Tarirai, uri murenje, musabuda; tarirai uri mudzimba dzemukati, musatenda.

²⁶`If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;

²⁷Nekuti semheni inobuda kumabvazuva ichipenya kusvikira kumavirira, kuchava saizvozvo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.

²⁷for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

²⁸Nekuti apo pane chitunha, ndipo pachaunganidzwa magora.

²⁸for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

²⁹Pakarepo shure kwekutambudzika kwemazuva iwayo, zuva richasvibiswa, nemwedzi hauchazopi chiedza chawo, uye nyeredzi dzichawa kudenga, nemasimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.

²⁹`And 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 the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;

³⁰Uye ipapo kuchaonekwa chiratidzo cheMwanakomana wemunhu kudenga; uye ipapo marudzi ose enyika achachema, uye achaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mumakore ekudenga nesimba nekubwinya kukuru.

³⁰and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;

³¹Uye uchatuma vatumwa vake nekurira kukuru kwehwamanda, vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina, kubva kumugumo wematenga kusvikira kumugumo wawo.

³¹and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.

³²Asi dzidzai mufananidzo kubva pamuonde: Kana davi rawo rava ikozvino nyoro, richitunga mashizha, munoziva kuti zhizha raswedera.

³²`And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh,

³³Saizvozwo nemwi, kana moona izvozvi zvose, zivai kuti wava pedo pamikova.

³³so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh — at the doors.

³⁴Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri kusvikira izvozvi zvose zvaitika.

³⁴Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.

³⁵Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.

³⁵The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁶Asi zvezuva iro nenguva iyo hakuna unozviziva, kunyangwe vatumwa vekumatenga, asi Baba vangu chete.

³⁶`And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers of the heavens — except my Father only;

³⁷Asi semazuva aNowa, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.

³⁷and as the days of Noah — so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

³⁸Nekuti sepamazuva akatangira mafashame, vaidya nekumwa, nekuwana nekuwaniswa, kusvikira zuva Nowa raakapinda muareka,

³⁸for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,

³⁹uye vakange vasingazivi, kusvikira kwasvika mafashame avabvisa vose, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.

³⁹and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.

⁴⁰Ipapo vaviri vachava mumunda; umwe achatorwa, umwe achasiiwa.

⁴⁰Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;

⁴¹Vakadzi vaviri vachikuya paguyo; umwe achatorwa, neumwe achasiiwa.

⁴¹two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.

⁴²Rindai naizvozvo, nekuti hamuzivi nguva Ishe wenyu yaachauya.

⁴²`Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

⁴³Asi zivai izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva kuti inguva yekurinda ipi ichasvika mbavha, ungadai airinda, akasatendera imba yake kuti ipazwe.

⁴³and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

⁴⁴Naizvozvo imwiwo ivai makagadzirira; nekuti neawa ramusingafungiri, Mwanakomana wemunhu anouya.

⁴⁴because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

⁴⁵Ko ndiani muranda wakatendeka, wakangwara, ishe wake wakamugadza pamusoro pevaranda vake kuti avape chikafu nenguva yakafanira?

⁴⁵`Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

⁴⁶Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti kana ishe wake achisvika anomuwana achiita saizvozvo.

⁴⁶Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

⁴⁷Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Uchamugadza pamusoro pezvose zvaanazvo.

⁴⁷verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.

⁴⁸Asi kana muranda uyo wakaipa akati mumoyo make: Ishe wangu wanonoka kuuya,

⁴⁸`And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,

⁴⁹ndokutanga kurova vamwe varanda vanobata pamwe naye, nekudya nekumwa nezvidhakwa,

⁴⁹and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

⁵⁰ishe wemuranda uyo uchasvika nezuva raasingatariri nenguva yaasingazivi,

⁵⁰the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,

⁵¹akamugura nepakati, akamugovera mugove wake nevanyepedzeri, apo pachava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.

⁵¹and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
