Lukka 17
1 Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ebikemo ebireetera abantu okwonoona tebiyinza butajja, naye zimusanze omuntu oyo abireeta.
Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2 Ekyandisinze kwe kusiba olubengo mu bulago bwe n’asuulibwa mu nnyanja okusinga okwesittaza omu ku baana bano abato.
It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Mwekuume. “Muganda wo bw’ayonoonanga, omunenyanga; era singa yeenenya omusonyiwanga.
Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Ne bw’akusobyanga emirundi omusanvu mu lunaku olumu, naye buli mulundi n’ajja gy’oli n’akwenenyeza, musonyiwenga.”
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Awo abatume ne bagamba Mukama waffe nti, “Twongereko okukkiriza.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
6 Mukama waffe n’abagamba nti, “Singa okukkiriza kwammwe kuba ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, mwandigambye omukenene guno nti, ‘Siguka ogwe mu nnyanja,’ era ne gubagondera.
And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
7 “Naye ani ku mmwe, ng’omuddu we yaakakomawo okuva okulima oba okulunda endiga, amugamba nti, ‘Jjangu mangu otuule ku mmere?’
Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8 Tamugamba nti, ‘Teekateeka emmere yange, weerongoose olabike bulungi, olyoke ompeereze nga ndya era nga nnywa, bwe nnaamala naawe n’onywa era n’olya emmere yo?’
Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9 Mulowooza nti Mukama w’omuweereza oyo amwebaza olw’okugondera bye yalagirwa okukola?
Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
10 Nammwe bwe mutyo bwe mumalanga okutuukiriza ebyo ebyabagambibwa okukola, mugambenga nti, ‘Ffe abaddu bo abatasaanira tukoze omulimu gwaffe ogutugwanidde.’”
So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
11 Awo Yesu bwe yali yeeyongerayo mu lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi, n’akwata ekkubo eriyita wakati wa Ggaliraaya ne Samaliya.
While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Awo bwe yayingira mu kabuga akamu, abasajja kkumi nga bonna bagenge ne bajja okumusisinkana. Ne bayimirira walako
As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
13 ne bakoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Yesu, Mukama waffe, tukwatirwe ekisa!”
and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 Yesu bwe yabalaba n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mweyanjule eri bakabona.” Bwe baali nga bagenda ne bawona ne baba balongoofu.
When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
15 Omu ku bo bwe yalaba ng’awonye n’akomawo eri Yesu nga bw’aleekaanira waggulu ng’atendereza Katonda.
When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 N’agwa wansi ku bigere bya Yesu ng’amwebaza. Omusajja oyo yali Musamaliya.
He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu n’agamba nti, “Ekkumi bonna tebaawonyezebbwa? Omwenda bo baluwa?
“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
18 Tebayinzizza kudda kutendereza Katonda wabula munnaggwanga ono yekka y’akomyewo?”
Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
19 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Situka weetambulire, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
20 Awo Abafalisaayo ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bulijja ddi?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda tebulabika nga bujja,
When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
21 era abantu tebagenda kugamba nti, ‘Laba buubuno wano,’ oba nti, ‘Buubuli wali,’ kubanga obwakabaka bwa Katonda buli mu mmwe.”
Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22 Oluvannyuma n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ekiseera kijja lwe mulyegomba okulaba olumu, ku nnaku z’Omwana w’Omuntu, naye temulirulaba.
Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23 Balibagamba nti lwe luno era nti lwe luli temugendanga era temubagobereranga.
People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
24 Kubanga ng’eggulu bwe limyansiza ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu ate ne limyansiza ku ludda olulala olw’eggulu, bw’atyo bw’aliba Omwana w’Omuntu ku lunaku lwe,
For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
25 Naye okusooka kimugwanira okubonaabona mu bintu bingi, n’okugaanibwa, abantu ab’omulembe guno.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “Nga bwe kyali mu biseera bya Nuuwa, era bwe kityo bwe kiriba ne mu biseera by’Omwana w’Omuntu.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
27 Abantu baali balya nga banywa nga bawasa era nga bafumbirwa okutuusa ku lunaku Nuuwa lwe yayingira mu lyato. Olwo amataba ne gajja ne gasaanyaawo buli kintu.
People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “Era kiriba nga bwe kyali mu nnaku za Lutti. Abantu baali balya nga banywa, nga bagula era nga batunda, nga balima era nga bazimba amayumba,
It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 okutuusa ku lunaku Lutti lwe yava mu Sodomu. Olwo omuliro n’olunyata ne biyiika okuva mu ggulu ne bizikiriza buli kimu.
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “Bwe bityo bwe biriba ku lunaku, Omwana w’Omuntu lw’alirabikirako.
It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 Ku lunaku olwo omuntu yenna aliba waggulu ku nju, takkanga mu nju munda kuggyamu bintu bye. N’abo abaliba mu nnimiro tebaddangayo eka okubaako ne bye banonayo.
On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
32 Mujjukire mukazi wa Lutti!
Remember Lot’s wife!
33 Buli anoonya okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye buli eyeefiiriza obulamu bwe alibuwonya.
Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 Mbagamba nti ku lunaku olwo abantu babiri baliba ku kitanda kimu, Omu alitwalibwa naye munne n’alekebwa.
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
35 Abantu babiri baliba basa ku lubengo, omu alitwalibwa naye munne alirekebwa.
Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”
36 Abasajja babiri baliba mu nnimiro, omu alitwalibwa naye munne alirekebwa.”
37 Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe, nga batwalibwa wa?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Awaba ekifudde awo ensegawe zirikuŋŋaanira!”
“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
