Obubonero obw’Enkomerero
1Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yeekaalu omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, laba, amayinja ago, n’ebizimbe ebyo.”
213:2 Luk 19:44Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ebizembe ebyo eby’ekitalo obiraba? Ne bwe kiriba ki tewaliba jjinja na limu wano eririsigala ku linnaalyo.”
313:3 a Mat 21:1 b Mat 4:21Awo 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“Tutegeeze, ebintu byonna we birituukirira, era n’akabonero akalibaawo ng’ebyo byonna bigenda okutuukirira.”
513:5 nny 22; Yer 29:8; Bef 5:6; 2Bs 2:3, 10-12; 1Ti 4:1; 2Ti 3:13; 1Yk 4:6Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume omuntu yenna tababuzaabuzanga. 6Bangi abalijja mu linnya lyange nga bagamba nti, ‘Nze nzuuyo,’ era balibuzaabuza bangi. 7Naye bwe muliwulira entalo, n’eŋŋambo ez’entalo, temutyanga. Kyetaaga ebyo byonna okubaawo naye enkomerero eriba tennatuuka. 8Kubanga amawanga galirwanagana, n’obwakabaka bulirwana n’obwakabaka, era musisi aliyita mu bifo bingi, n’enjala nnyingi erigwa. Okulumwa ng’okw’okuzaala kuliba kutandika butandisi.”
913:9 Mat 10:17“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. 10Era Enjiri kigigwanira okumala okubuulirwa amawanga gonna. 1113:11 Mat 10:19, 20; Luk 12:11, 12Bwe 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.”
1213:12 Mi 7:6; Mat 10:21; Luk 12:51-53“Owooluganda aliwaayo muganda we okuttibwa, ne kitaawe w’omwana aliwaayo omwana we. Abaana balijeemera bazadde baabwe ne babatta. 1313:13 a Yk 15:21 b Mat 10:22Mulikyayibwa abantu bonna, olw’erinnya lyange, naye oyo aligumiikiriza okutuusa ku nkomerero y’alirokolebwa.”
1413:14 Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11“Bwe mulabanga ekintu eky’omuzizo ekizikiriza, nga kiyimiridde mu kifo we kitasaanira (asoma bino, weetegereze) abali mu Buyudaaya baddukiranga ku nsozi. 15N’oyo alibeera waggulu ku nnyumba takkanga wadde okuyingira okubaako ky’atwala okuva mu nnyumba ye. 16N’oyo alibeera mu nnimiro, taddanga kutwala bintu bye, wadde okukima yo olugoye lwe. 1713:17 Luk 23:29Naye ziribasanga abaliba embuto n’abaliba bayonsa mu nnaku ezo. 18Naye musabe ekiseera ekyo kireme kuba kya butiti. 1913:19 a Mak 10:6 b Dan 9:26; 12:1; Yo 2:2Kubanga ekiseera ekyo kiriba kya kubonyaabonyezebwa okutabeerangawo kasookedde Katonda atonda eggulu n’ensi, n’okutuusa kaakano n’emirembe egigenda okujja.
20“Era singa Mukama teyakendeeza ku nnaku ezo, tewandiwonyeewo muntu yenna, naye olw’abalonde be, ennaku ezo yazikendeezaako. 2113:21 Luk 17:23; 21:8Era omuntu yenna singa abagamba nti, ‘Mulabe, Kristo wuuli,’ temumukkirizanga. 2213:22 a Mat 7:15 b Yk 4:48; 2Bs 2:9, 10Kubanga bakristo ab’obulimba balijja, ne bannabbi ab’obulimba nabo balijja ne bakola eby’amagero n’ebyewuunyo, nga bagenderera okulimba n’abalonde ba Katonda. 2313:23 2Pe 3:17Naye mwekuume! Kubanga mbalabudde ng’ebintu bino byonna tebinnabaawo.
24“Ennaku ez’entiisa eyo nga ziweddeko,
“ ‘enjuba eriggyako ekizikiza,
era n’omwezi teguliyaka,
2513:25 Is 13:10; 34:4; Mat 24:29era, emmunyeenye zirikunkumuka,
n’aboobuyinza ab’omu bbanga balikankana.’ ”
2613:26 Dan 7:13; Mat 16:27; Kub 1:7“Olwo muliraba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’ajjira ku bire n’amaanyi mangi n’ekitiibwa kinene, 2713:27 Zek 2:6Era alituma bamalayika okukuŋŋaanya abalonde be okuva eri empewo ennya, n’okuva ensalo z’ensi gye zikoma okutuuka ensalo z’eggulu gye zikoma.”
Omutiini kye Guyigiriza
28“Muyigire ku lugero lw’omutiini. Amatabi gaagwo bwe gatandika okutojjera, nga mumanya nti ebiseera eby’ebbugumu binaatera okutuuka. 29Noolwekyo nammwe bwe muliraba ebintu ebyo nga bibaawo, nga mumanya nti ekiseera kiri kumpi, era kisemberedde ddala ku luggi. 3013:30 a Luk 17:25 b Mak 9:1Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omulembe guno tegugenda kuggwaako okutuusa ng’ebintu byonna bimaze okubaawo. 3113:31 Mat 5:18Eggulu n’ensi biriggwaawo, naye ebigambo byange biribeerera emirembe n’emirembe.”
Tewali Amanyi Lunaku wadde Ekiseera
3213:32 Bik 1:7; 1Bs 5:1, 2“Naye eby’olunaku olwo oba essaawa tewali n’omu abimanyi, newaakubadde bamalayika mu ggulu wadde Omwana, okuggyako Kitaffe. 3313:33 1Bs 5:6Mwekuume, mutunule13:33 Ebiwandiiko ebirala bigamba mutunule era musabe kubanga temumanyi kiseera we kirituukira. 3413:34 Mat 25:14Ng’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“Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu kubanga temumanyi ssemaka wakomerawo oba kawungeezi, oba mu ttumbi, oba ng’enkoko zikookolima, oba ng’obudde bukya, 36si kulwa ng’akomawo nga temumanyiridde, n’abasanga nga mwebase. 3713:37 Luk 12:35-40Kye mbagamba mmwe, kye ŋŋamba buli muntu, mwekuume.”
The destruction of the temple and signs of the end times
1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!’
2‘Do you see all these great buildings?’ replied Jesus. ‘Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.’
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4‘Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?’
5Jesus said to them: ‘Watch out that no-one deceives you. 6Many will come in my name, claiming, “I am he,” and will deceive many. 7When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth-pains.
9‘You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12‘Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 13Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14‘When you see “the abomination that causes desolation”13:14 Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 standing where it13:14 Or he does not belong – let the reader understand – then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15Let no-one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16Let no-one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19because those will be days of distress unequalled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now – and never to be equalled again.
20‘If the Lord had not cut short those days, no-one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21At that time if anyone says to you, “Look, here is the Messiah!” or, “Look, there he is!” do not believe it. 22For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
24‘But in those days, following that distress,
‘ “the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
25the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.”13:25 Isaiah 13:10; 34:4
26‘At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.
28‘Now learn this lesson from the fig-tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it13:29 Or he is near, right at the door. 30Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The day and hour unknown
32‘But about that day or hour no-one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert13:33 Some manuscripts alert and pray! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: he leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35‘Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back – whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: “Watch!” ’
