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

¹And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to 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 he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which 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 as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age?

⁴Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Chenjerai kuti kusava neunokutsausai;

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

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 mislead many.

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

⁶But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.

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

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

⁸Asi zvose izvi kutanga kwemarwadzo emimba.

⁸But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

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

⁹Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

¹⁰Zvino vazhinji vachagumbuswa, uye vachatengesana, nekuvengana.

¹⁰And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

¹¹Uye vaporofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka, vatsause vazhinji.

¹¹and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;

¹²Nekuti kuipa kuchawanda, rudo rwevazhinji rwuchatonhora.

¹²and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

¹³Asi unotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye uchaponeswa.

¹³but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.

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

¹⁴And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.

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

¹⁵When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)

¹⁶zvino vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo;

¹⁶then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

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

¹⁷let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

¹⁸neuri kumunda ngaarege kudzokera shure kunotora nguvo dzake.

¹⁸and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

¹⁹Mune nhamo vane mimba nevanomwisa nemazuva iwayo!

¹⁹But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

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

²⁰But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:

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

²¹for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;

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

²²and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.

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

²³Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.

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 shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

²⁵Tarirai, ndagara ndakuudzai.

²⁵Behold, I have told you beforehand.

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

²⁶If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it].

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

²⁷For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

²⁸Nekuti apo pane chitunha, ndipo pachaunganidzwa magora.

²⁸[For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.

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

²⁹But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from 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 heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great 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 angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.

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

³²But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

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

³³Thus also *ye*, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.

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

³⁴Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.

³⁵Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.

³⁵The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

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

³⁶But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.

³⁷Asi semazuva aNowa, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.

³⁷But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming 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 which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,

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

³⁹and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.

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

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

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

⁴¹two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.

⁴²Rindai naizvozvo, nekuti hamuzivi nguva Ishe wenyu yaachauya.

⁴²Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.

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

⁴³But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].

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

⁴⁴Wherefore *ye* also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.

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

⁴⁵Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?

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

⁴⁶Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.

⁴⁷Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Uchamugadza pamusoro pezvose zvaanazvo.

⁴⁷Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.

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

⁴⁸But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

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

⁴⁹and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;

⁵⁰ishe wemuranda uyo uchasvika nezuva raasingatariri nenguva yaasingazivi,

⁵⁰the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,

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

⁵¹and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
