Makko 13
1 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yeekaalu omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, laba, amayinja ago, n’ebizimbe ebyo.”
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!”
2 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ebizembe ebyo eby’ekitalo obiraba? Ne bwe kiriba ki tewaliba jjinja na limu wano eririsigala ku linnaalyo.”
Yeshua [Salvation] 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.”
3 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,
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter [Rock], James [Surplanter], John [Yah is gracious], and Andrew [Manly] asked him privately,
4 “Tutegeeze, ebintu byonna we birituukirira, era n’akabonero akalibaawo ng’ebyo byonna bigenda okutuukirira.”
“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume omuntu yenna tababuzaabuzanga.
Yeshua [Salvation], answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 Bangi abalijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze nzuuyo,’ era balibuzaabuza bangi.
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], I am he!’ and will lead many astray.
7 Naye bwe muliwulira entalo, n’eŋŋambo ez’entalo, temutyanga. Kyetaaga ebyo byonna okubaawo naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka.
“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 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.”
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.
9 “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.
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.
10 Era Enjiri kigigwanira okumala okubuulirwa amawanga gonna.
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
11 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.”
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 Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness].
12 “Owooluganda aliwaayo muganda we okuttibwa, ne kitaawe w’omwana aliwaayo omwana we. Abaana balijeemera bazadde baabwe ne babatta.
“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.
13 Mulikyayibwa abantu bonna, olw’erinnya lyange, naye oyo aligumiikiriza okutuusa ku nkomerero y’alirokolebwa.”
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
14 “Bwe mulabanga ekintu eky’omuzizo ekizikiriza, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo we kitasaanira (asoma bino, weetegereze) abali mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga ku nsozi.
But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel [My judge is God] the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea [Praise] flee to the mountains,
15 N’oyo alibeera waggulu ku nnyumba takkanga wadde okuyingira okubaako ky’atwala okuva mu nnyumba ye.
and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro, taddanga kutwala bintu bye, wadde okukima yo olugoye lwe.
Let him who is in the field not teshuvah ·completely return· back to take his cloak.
17 Naye ziribasanga abaliba embuto n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo.
But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
18 Naye musabe ekiseera ekyo kireme kuba kya butiti.
Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.
19 Kubanga ekiseera ekyo kiriba kya kubonyaabonyezebwa okutabeerangawo kasookedde Katonda atonda eggulu n’ensi, n’okutuusa kaakano n’emirembe egigenda okujja.
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.
20 “Era singa Mukama teyakendeeza ku nnaku ezo, tewandiwonyeewo muntu yenna, naye olw’abalonde be, ennaku ezo yazikendeezaako.
Unless MarYah [Master Yahweh] 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.
21 Era omuntu yenna singa abagamba nti, ‘Mulabe, Kristo wuuli,’ temumukkirizanga.
Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah [Anointed one]!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.
22 Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo, nga bagenderera okulimba n’abalonde ba Katonda.
For there will arise false Messiahs [Anointed ones] and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
23 Naye mwekuume! Kubanga mbalabudde ng’ebintu bino byonna tebinnabaawo.
But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 “Ennaku ez’entiisa eyo nga ziweddeko, “‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza, era n’omwezi teguliyaka,
But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 era, emmunyeenye zirikunkumuka, n’aboobuyinza ab’omu bbanga balikankana.’”
the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 “Olwo muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajjira ku bire n’amaanyi mangi n’ekitiibwa kinene,
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Era alituma bamalayika okukuŋŋaanya abalonde be okuva eri empewo ennya, n’okuva ensalo z’ensi gye zikoma okutuuka ensalo z’eggulu gye zikoma.”
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.
28 “Muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera, nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka.
“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;
29 Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo nga bibaawo, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi.
even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omulembe guno tegugenda kuggwaako okutuusa ng’ebintu byonna bimaze okubaawo.
Most certainly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo, naye ebigambo byange biribeerera emirembe n’emirembe.”
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 “Naye eby’olunaku olwo oba essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika mu ggulu wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe.
But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Abba Father.
33 Mwekuume, mutunulekubanga temumanyi kiseera we kirituukira.
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
34 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.”
“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 enjoined the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 “Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu kubanga temumanyi ssemaka wakomerawo oba kawungeezi, oba mu ttumbi, oba ng’enkoko zikookolima, oba ng’obudde bukya,
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;
36 si kulwa ng’akomawo nga temumanyiridde, n’abasanga nga mwebase.
lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
37 Kye mbagamba mmwe, kye ŋŋamba buli muntu, mwekuume.”
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”
