¹As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”

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

²Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”

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

³As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

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

⁴“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”

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

⁵Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

⁵Zvino Jesu achivapindura akatanga kuti: Chenjerai kusava neunokutsausai.

⁶ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he! or, “I AM!” ’ and will lead many astray.

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

⁷ “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.

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

⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.

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

⁹ But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

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

¹⁰ The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.

¹⁰Uye evhangeri inofanira kutanga kuparidzirwa kumarudzi ose.

¹¹ When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

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

¹² “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

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

¹³ You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

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

¹⁴ But when you see the abomination of desolation, Daniel 9:17; 11:31; 12:11 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,

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

¹⁵ and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.

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

¹⁶ Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

¹⁶Neuri mumunda ngaarege kutendeukira shure kunotora nguvo yake.

¹⁷ But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!

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

¹⁸ Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.

¹⁸Asi nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuva muchando.

¹⁹ For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

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

²⁰ Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

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

²¹ Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.

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

²² For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

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

²³ But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

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

²⁴ But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

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

²⁵ the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. Isaiah 13:10; 34:4

²⁵nenyeredzi dzekudenga dzichawa, nemasimba ari kumatenga achazungunuswa.

²⁶ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

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

²⁷ Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

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

²⁸ “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

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

²⁹ even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.

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

³⁰ Most certainly I say to you, this generation The word translated “generation” (genea) could also be translated “race,” “family,” or “people.” will not pass away until all these things happen.

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

³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

³¹Denga nenyika zvichapfuura; asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.

³² But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

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

³³ Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.

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

³⁴ “It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.

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

³⁵ Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;

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

³⁶ lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.

³⁶kuti arege kuerekana auya, akakuwanai muvete.

³⁷ What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”

³⁷Nezvandinotaura kwamuri, ndinotaurira vose: Rindai.
