Matthew 24
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu luggya lwa Yeekaalu, abayigirizwa be ne bajja w’ali okumulaga enzimba ya Yeekaalu,
2 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
naye n’abagamba nti, “Bino byonna temubiraba? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti tewaliba jjinja na limu eririsigala nga litudde ku linnaalyo eritalibetentebwa.”
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni, abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Ebyo biribaawo ddi? Era kabonero ki akalitegeeza okujja kwo n’enkomerero y’ensi nti eri kumpi?” (aiōn g165)
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temukkirizanga muntu yenna kubalimbalimba.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Kubanga bangi balijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze Kristo’, era balirimba bangi.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Munaatera okuwulira entalo n’eŋŋambo z’entalo. Temwekanganga, kubanga ebyo biteekwa okubaawo, naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places.
Amawanga galirwana ne gannaago, n’obwakabaka bulirwana n’obwakabaka, era walibaawo enjala mu bifo bingi ne musisi aliyuuguumya ebifo bingi.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Naye bino byonna biriba ntandikwa butandikwa ng’ey’okulumwa okuzaala.”
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.
“Muliweebwayo ne mubonyaabonyezebwa era ne muttibwa, era mulikyayibwa amawanga gonna olw’erinnya lyange.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Era bangi balisendebwasendebwa okukola ebibi, n’abalala baliryamu bannaabwe olukwe, n’abalala ne bakyawagana.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Era bannabbi ab’obulimba bangi balijja ne bawubisa abantu bangi.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall become cold.
Olw’obujeemu okuyinga obungi, era bangi okwagala kwabwe kuliwola.
13 But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.
Naye abo abaligumiikiriza okutuuka ku nkomerero be balirokolebwa.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.
Era Enjiri ey’obwakabaka eribuulirwa mu nsi yonna, nga bwe bujulirwa eri amawanga gonna n’oluvannyuma enkomerero n’eryoka etuuka.”
15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand: )
“Noolwekyo bwe muliraba ‘eky’omuzizo eky’entiisa,’ nnabbi Danyeri kye yayogerako, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo ekitukuvu asoma bino ategeere,
16 Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains:
n’abo abalibeera mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga mu nsozi.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Alibeera waggulu ku kasolya, takkanga kuyingira mu nnyumba ye kubaako byaggyamu.
18 Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro taddangayo eka okunonayo olugoye lwe.
19 And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Naye ziribasanga abakyala abaliba balina embuto, n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo.
20 But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:
Naye musabe ekiseera ky’okudduka kireme kutuukira mu biro bya butiti oba ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Kubanga wagenda kubeerawo okubonyaabonyezebwa okunene ennyo okutabangawo kasookedde ensi ebaawo era tewaliddayo kubaawo kikifaanana.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Singa ennaku ezo tezakendezebwako, tewandibadde n’omu alokolebwa. Naye olw’abalonde be ennaku ezo zirikendezebwako.
23 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Bwe wabangawo omuntu agamba nti, ‘Kristo ali wano, oba ali wali,’ temubakkirizanga.
24 For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.
Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo; nga singa kibadde kisoboka, bandilimbyelimbye n’abalonde ba Katonda.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
Laba mbalabudde nga bukyali!”
26 Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
“Noolwekyo omuntu bw’abagambanga nti Kristo akomyewo ali eri mu ddungu, temugendangayo. Oba nti ali mu bisenge eby’omunda, temukkirizanga.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Kubanga nga bwe mulaba okumyansa kw’eraddu nga kutabaala ebire okuva ebuvanjuba ne kusala okulaga ebugwanjuba, n’okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kutyo.
28 For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Era mukimanyi nti awabeera ekifudde awo ensega we zikuŋŋaanira.”
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
“Amangu ddala ng’okubonyaabonyezebwa “kw’omu nnaku ezo kuwedde, ‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza era n’omwezi teguliyaka, n’emmunyeenye zirigwa n’amaanyi g’eggulu galinyeenyezebwa.’”
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
“Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo akabonero k’Omwana w’omuntu kalirabika ku ggulu, era walibaawo okukungubaga kw’amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi, era baliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajja ku bire by’eggulu, mu maanyi ne mu kitiibwa ekinene.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Era alituma bamalayika be nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ne bakuŋŋaanya abalonde be nga babaggya mu mpewo ennya okuva ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu okutuuka ku ludda olulala.”
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
“Kale muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka.
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo byonna, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi.
34 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, omulembe guno teguliggwaawo okutuusa ng’ebintu ebyo byonna bituukiridde.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo naye ebigambo byange tebiriggwaawo.”
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
“Naye eby’olunaku olwo wadde essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika ab’omu ggulu nabo tebakimanyi, wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe yekka.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Kubanga nga bwe kyali mu biseera bya Nuuwa, okujja kw’Omwana w’Omuntu nakwo bwe kuliba.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Nga bwe kyali mu biseera by’amataba, abantu nga balya nga banywa, nga bawasa n’abalala nga bafumbirwa, olunaku ne lutuuka Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will be the coming of the Son of man.
abantu ne batamanya, amataba ne gajja ne gabasaanyaawo ne buli kintu, bwe kutyo n’okudda kw’Omwana w’Omuntu bwe kulibeera.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mu biseera ebyo abasajja babiri baliba bakola mu nnimiro, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Abakazi babiri baliba basa ku mmengo zaabwe mu nnyumba y’emu, omu n’atwalibwa omulala n’alekebwa.”
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.
“Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu, kubanga olunaku Mukama wammwe lw’aliddirako temulumanyi.
43 But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Naye mutegeere kino: ssinga ssemaka amanya essaawa omubbi w’anaayingirira okumenya ennyumba ye, yandisigadde ng’atunula, n’ataganya mubbi kumuyingirira.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Noolwekyo nammwe bwe mutyo mweteeketeeke, kubanga Omwana w’omuntu alijjira mu kiseera kye mutamulowoolezaamu.”
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
“Kale aliwa omuddu omugezi era omwesigwa mukama we gwe yawa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabirira abaddu ab’omu maka ge, n’okubawa emmere mu kiseera ekituufu?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Alina omukisa omuddu oyo, mukama we gw’alisanga ng’akola bw’atyo.
47 Verily I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, alimukwasa ebintu bye byonna.
48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Naye obanga omuddu omubi bw’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Mukama wange tajja kudda mangu,’
49 And shall begin to beat his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
n’adda ku baddu banne, n’abakuba, n’alya, n’anywa n’abatamiivu, okutuusa lw’alidda.
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mukama w’omuddu oyo n’akomawo ku lunaku lw’atamusuubidde ne mu kiseera ky’atamanyi,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
alimubonereza, era omugabo gwe guliba okubeera awamu n’abannanfuusi, eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
