Lukka 17
1 Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ebikemo ebireetera abantu okwonoona tebiyinza butajja, naye zimusanze omuntu oyo abireeta.
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by 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 well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Mwekuume. “Muganda wo bw’ayonoonanga, omunenyanga; era singa yeenenya omusonyiwanga.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 Ne bw’akusobyanga emirundi omusanvu mu lunaku olumu, naye buli mulundi n’ajja gy’oli n’akwenenyeza, musonyiwenga.”
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 Awo abatume ne bagamba Mukama waffe nti, “Twongereko okukkiriza.”
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
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 said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 “Naye ani ku mmwe, ng’omuddu we yaakakomawo okuva okulima oba okulunda endiga, amugamba nti, ‘Jjangu mangu otuule ku mmere?’
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
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?’
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 Mulowooza nti Mukama w’omuweereza oyo amwebaza olw’okugondera bye yalagirwa okukola?
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 Nammwe bwe mutyo bwe mumalanga okutuukiriza ebyo ebyabagambibwa okukola, mugambenga nti, ‘Ffe abaddu bo abatasaanira tukoze omulimu gwaffe ogutugwanidde.’”
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 Awo Yesu bwe yali yeeyongerayo mu lugendo lwe ng’agenda e Yerusaalemi, n’akwata ekkubo eriyita wakati wa Ggaliraaya ne Samaliya.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Awo bwe yayingira mu kabuga akamu, abasajja kkumi nga bonna bagenge ne bajja okumusisinkana. Ne bayimirira walako
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 ne bakoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Yesu, Mukama waffe, tukwatirwe ekisa!”
Said, in loud voices, 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.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 Omu ku bo bwe yalaba ng’awonye n’akomawo eri Yesu nga bw’aleekaanira waggulu ng’atendereza Katonda.
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 N’agwa wansi ku bigere bya Yesu ng’amwebaza. Omusajja oyo yali Musamaliya.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 Yesu n’agamba nti, “Ekkumi bonna tebaawonyezebbwa? Omwenda bo baluwa?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Tebayinzizza kudda kutendereza Katonda wabula munnaggwanga ono yekka y’akomyewo?”
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Situka weetambulire, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza.”
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; 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,
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 era abantu tebagenda kugamba nti, ‘Laba buubuno wano,’ oba nti, ‘Buubuli wali,’ kubanga obwakabaka bwa Katonda buli mu mmwe.”
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 Oluvannyuma n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ekiseera kijja lwe mulyegomba okulaba olumu, ku nnaku z’Omwana w’Omuntu, naye temulirulaba.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire 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.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go 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 as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 Naye okusooka kimugwanira okubonaabona mu bintu bingi, n’okugaanibwa, abantu ab’omulembe guno.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 “Nga bwe kyali mu biseera bya Nuuwa, era bwe kityo bwe kiriba ne mu biseera by’Omwana w’Omuntu.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day 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.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
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,
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were 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 when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 “Bwe bityo bwe biriba ku lunaku, Omwana w’Omuntu lw’alirabikirako.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
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, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Mujjukire mukazi wa Lutti!
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Buli anoonya okuwonya obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye buli eyeefiiriza obulamu bwe alibuwonya.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 Mbagamba nti ku lunaku olwo abantu babiri baliba ku kitanda kimu, Omu alitwalibwa naye munne n’alekebwa.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Abantu babiri baliba basa ku lubengo, omu alitwalibwa naye munne alirekebwa.
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
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!”
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
