1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5¶ And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. 13And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19In your patience possess ye your souls. 20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25¶ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
Okugaba kwa Nnamwandu
121:1 Mat 27:6; Yk 8:20Awo Yesu bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba abantu abagagga nga bateeka ebirabo byabwe mu ggwanika mu Yeekaalu. 2N’alaba nnamwandu omwavu ng’awaayo busente bubiri. 3N’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu agabye okusinga bali abagagga bonna. 421:4 2Ko 8:12Kubanga bagabye kitono nga bakiggya ku bugagga bwe bafisizzaawo, naye nnamwandu mu bwavu bwe awaddeyo kyonna ky’alina.”
Okuzikirizibwa kwa Yeekaalu
5Ne wabaawo aboogera ku bulungi bw’amayinja agaweebwayo eri Katonda okuzimba Yeekaalu. 621:6 Luk 19:44Naye Yesu n’agamba nti, “Ekiseera kijja ebirungi bino byonna bye mutunuulira lwe biribetentulwa ne watasigalawo jjinja na limu nga litudde ku linnaalyo, eritalisuulibwa wansi.”
7Ne bamubuuza nti, “Omuyigiriza, ebyo biribaawo ddi? Ye walibaawo akabonero akaliraga nti biri kumpi okubaawo?”
821:8 Luk 17:23Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mwekuume muleme kulimbibwalimbibwa. Kubanga bangi balikozesa erinnya lyange, nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze nzuuyo.’ Naye temubakkirizanga. 9Naye bwe muwuliranga entalo n’obwegugungo, temutyanga. Kubanga entalo ziteekwa okusooka okujja, naye enkomerero terituuka mangwago.”
1021:10 2By 15:6; Is 19:2N’ayongera n’abagamba nti, “Amawanga galirwanagana, n’obwakabaka ne bulwanagana ne bunaabwo. 1121:11 Is 29:6; Yo 2:30Wagenda kubeerawo musisi ow’amaanyi ennyo, n’enjala ennyingi mu bitundu eby’enjawulo, ne kawumpuli. Walibaawo n’ebyentiisa ate n’obubonero okuva mu ggulu.
12“Naye bino byonna nga tebinnabaawo balibayigganya, balibakwata. Balibawaayo mu makuŋŋaaniro, ne mu maaso ga bakabaka ne bagavana, ku lw’erinnya lyange, ne musibibwa ne mu makomera. 1321:13 Baf 1:12Kiribaviiramu okufuna omukisa okuba abajulirwa bange. 1421:14 Luk 12:11Naye temweraliikiriranga gye muliggya ebigambo eby’okuwoza, 1521:15 Luk 12:12Kubanga ŋŋenda kubawa ebigambo n’amagezi ebiriremesa n’abalabe bammwe okubaako n’eky’okuddamu! 1621:16 Luk 12:52, 53Muliweebwayo bakadde bammwe, ne baganda bammwe ne mikwano gyammwe, balibawaayo mukwatibwe, era abamu ku mmwe muttibwe. 1721:17 Yk 15:21Abantu bonna balibakyawa nga babalanga erinnya lyange. 1821:18 Mat 10:30Naye n’oluviiri olumu bwe luti olw’oku mitwe gyammwe terulizikirira. 1921:19 Mat 10:22Kubanga bwe muligumiikiriza muliwonya obulamu bwammwe.”
Okuzikirizibwa kwa Yerusaalemi
2021:20 Luk 19:43“Bwe mulabanga nga Yerusaalemi kyetooloddwa amaggye, nga mutegeera nga Okuzikirizibwa kw’ekibuga ekyo kutuuse. 2121:21 Luk 17:31Abo abalibeera mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga ku nsozi, abaliba mu Yerusaalemi bakivangamu ne badduka, n’abo abalibeera mu nnimiro tebakomangawo mu kibuga. 2221:22 a Is 63:4; Dan 9:24-27; Kos 9:7 b Mat 1:22Kubanga ebyo bye biriba ebiseera Katonda mwaliwolera eggwanga, n’ebigambo ebiri mu Byawandiikibwa birituukirizibwa. 23Nga ziribasanga abakazi abaliba embuto n’abayonsa! Kubanga eggwanga liribonaabona, n’abantu baalyo balisunguwalirwa. 2421:24 Is 5:5; 63:18; Dan 8:13; Kub 11:2Abamu balittibwa n’ekitala ky’omulabe, abalala balikwatibwa ne bawaŋŋangusibwa mu mawanga gonna amalala ag’oku nsi. Yerusaalemi kiriwangulwa bannaggwanga ne bakirinnyirira okutuusa ekiseera kyabwe eky’obuwanguzi lwe kirikoma mu kiseera Katonda ky’aliba ateesezza.”

Wano ku nsi amawanga galibeera mu kunyolwa, olw’ab’amawanga, ng’abantu basamaaliridde olw’ennyanja eziyira n’amayengo ageesiikuula. 2621:26 Mat 24:29Abantu baliggwaamu amaanyi ne bazirika nga batidde nnyo olw’ebirijja ku nsi; kubanga amaanyi g’eggulu galinyeenyezebwa. 2721:27 a Mat 8:20 b Kub 1:7Mu kiseera ekyo muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajjira mu kire n’obuyinza n’ekitiibwa kingi. 2821:28 Luk 18:7Kale ebintu ebyo bwe bitandikanga muyimiriranga butereevu ne muyimusa amaaso gammwe waggulu! Kubanga okulokolebwa kwammwe nga kusembedde.”
Eky’okuyiga ku muti omutiini
29Awo Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Mutunuulire omuti omutiini n’emiti emirala gyonna. 30Bwe mulaba nga gitandise okutojjera, mumanya ng’ebiseera eby’ebbugumu bituuse. 3121:31 Mat 3:2Mu ngeri y’emu bwe muliraba ebintu nga bibaawo, nga mumanya nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda buli kumpi okutuuka.
3221:32 Luk 11:50; 17:25“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omulembe guno teguliggwaawo okutuusa ng’ebintu ebyo byonna bituukiridde. 3321:33 Mat 5:18Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo, naye ebigambo byange tebigenda kuggwaawo.
3421:34 a Mak 4:19 b Luk 12:40, 46; 1Bs 5:2-7“Mwekuume muleme okwemalira mu binyumu n’okutamiira, n’okweraliikirira eby’obulamu, okujja kwange okw’amangu kuleme kubakwasa nga temugenderedde ng’abagudde mu mutego. 35Kubanga olunaku olwo lulituuka ku buli muntu mu nsi yonna. 3621:36 Mat 26:41Mutunule nga musaba Katonda buli kiseera, abawe amaanyi okubasobozesa okuwona ebintu ebyo byonna, Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alijja mulyoke musobole okuyimirira mu maaso ge.”
