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