Mark 13
1 As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yeekaalu omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, laba, amayinja ago, n’ebizimbe ebyo.”
2 Jesus 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.”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ebizembe ebyo eby’ekitalo obiraba? Ne bwe kiriba ki tewaliba jjinja na limu wano eririsigala ku linnaalyo.”
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde awo ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni, okwolekera yeekaalu, Peetero ne Yakobo ne Yokaana ne Andereya ne bamubuuza mu kyama, ne bamubuuza nti,
4 “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”
“Tutegeeze, ebintu byonna we birituukirira, era n’akabonero akalibaawo ng’ebyo byonna bigenda okutuukirira.”
5 Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume omuntu yenna tababuzaabuzanga.
6 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and will lead many astray.
Bangi abalijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze nzuuyo,’ era balibuzaabuza bangi.
7 “When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
Naye bwe muliwulira entalo, n’eŋŋambo ez’entalo, temutyanga. Kyetaaga ebyo byonna okubaawo naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka.
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.
Kubanga amawanga galirwanagana, n’obwakabaka bulirwana n’obwakabaka, era musisi aliyita mu bifo bingi, n’enjala nnyingi erigwa. Okulumwa ng’okw’okuzaala kuliba kutandika butandisi.”
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.
“Mwekuume mmwe. Balibawaayo mu mbuga z’amateeka ne mu makuŋŋaaniro, mulikubibwa, muliyimirira mu maaso ga bakabaka ne bagavana. Muliyimirira ku lwange, okubeera abajulirwa gye bali.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
Era Enjiri kigigwanira okumala okubuulirwa amawanga gonna.
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.
Bwe balibakwata ne babawaayo, temweraliikiriranga kya kuwoza. Kye munaaweebwanga okwogera mu kiseera ekyo kye munaayogeranga kubanga si mmwe muliba mwogera wabula Mwoyo Mutukuvu y’aliba ayogerera mu mmwe.”
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.
“Owooluganda aliwaayo muganda we okuttibwa, ne kitaawe w’omwana aliwaayo omwana we. Abaana balijeemera bazadde baabwe ne babatta.
13 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
Mulikyayibwa abantu bonna, olw’erinnya lyange, naye oyo aligumiikiriza okutuusa ku nkomerero y’alirokolebwa.”
14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation, 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,
“Bwe mulabanga ekintu eky’omuzizo ekizikiriza, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo we kitasaanira (asoma bino, weetegereze) abali mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga ku nsozi.
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
N’oyo alibeera waggulu ku nnyumba takkanga wadde okuyingira okubaako ky’atwala okuva mu nnyumba ye.
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro, taddanga kutwala bintu bye, wadde okukima yo olugoye lwe.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
Naye ziribasanga abaliba embuto n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo.
18 Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
Naye musabe ekiseera ekyo kireme kuba kya butiti.
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.
Kubanga ekiseera ekyo kiriba kya kubonyaabonyezebwa okutabeerangawo kasookedde Katonda atonda eggulu n’ensi, n’okutuusa kaakano n’emirembe egigenda okujja.
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.
“Era singa Mukama teyakendeeza ku nnaku ezo, tewandiwonyeewo muntu yenna, naye olw’abalonde be, ennaku ezo yazikendeezaako.
21 Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
Era omuntu yenna singa abagamba nti, ‘Mulabe, Kristo wuuli,’ temumukkirizanga.
22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo, nga bagenderera okulimba n’abalonde ba Katonda.
23 But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
Naye mwekuume! Kubanga mbalabudde ng’ebintu bino byonna tebinnabaawo.
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
“Ennaku ez’entiisa eyo nga ziweddeko, “‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza, era n’omwezi teguliyaka,
25 the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
era, emmunyeenye zirikunkumuka, n’aboobuyinza ab’omu bbanga balikankana.’”
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
“Olwo muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajjira ku bire n’amaanyi mangi n’ekitiibwa kinene,
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.
Era alituma bamalayika okukuŋŋaanya abalonde be okuva eri empewo ennya, n’okuva ensalo z’ensi gye zikoma okutuuka ensalo z’eggulu gye zikoma.”
28 “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
“Muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera, nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka.
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo nga bibaawo, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi.
30 Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omulembe guno tegugenda kuggwaako okutuusa ng’ebintu byonna bimaze okubaawo.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo, naye ebigambo byange biribeerera emirembe n’emirembe.”
32 “But of that day or that hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
“Naye eby’olunaku olwo oba essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika mu ggulu wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe.
33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
Mwekuume, mutunulekubanga temumanyi kiseera we kirituukira.
34 “It is like a man travelling 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.
Ng’omusajja eyatambula olugendo n’ategekera abaddu be, buli omu n’amuwa obuyinza ng’omulimu gwe bwe guli, n’alagira omuggazi w’oluggi atunule alindirire.”
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;
“Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu kubanga temumanyi ssemaka wakomerawo oba kawungeezi, oba mu ttumbi, oba ng’enkoko zikookolima, oba ng’obudde bukya,
36 lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping.
si kulwa ng’akomawo nga temumanyiridde, n’abasanga nga mwebase.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
Kye mbagamba mmwe, kye ŋŋamba buli muntu, mwekuume.”
