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

¹And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!

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

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

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

³And as he sat on 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 these things are all about to be accomplished?

⁵Zvino Jesu achivapindura akatanga kuti: Chenjerai kusava neunokutsausai.

⁵And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

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

⁶Many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and shall lead many astray.

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

⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: [these things] must needs come to pass; but the end is not 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; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.

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

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

¹⁰Uye evhangeri inofanira kutanga kuparidzirwa kumarudzi ose.

¹⁰And the gospel must first be preached unto all the 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.

¹¹And when they lead you [to judgment], and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

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

¹²And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and 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 endureth to 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 see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto 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, nor enter in, to take anything out his house:

¹⁶Neuri mumunda ngaarege kutendeukira shure kunotora nguvo yake.

¹⁶and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

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

¹⁷But woe unto 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 it be not in the winter.

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

¹⁹For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.

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

²⁰And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

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

²¹And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe [it] not:

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

²²for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.

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

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

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 shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.

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

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in 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 forth the 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 from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;

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

²⁹even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors.

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

³⁰Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.

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 or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels 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.

³⁴[It is] as [when] a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

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

³⁵Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at 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.
