< Luke 21 >

1 And having looked up, he saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury.
Ἀναβλέψας δὲ, εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν πλουσίους.
2 And he also saw a certain poor widow there casting in two mites.
Εἶδεν δέ τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν, βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ λεπτὰ δύο.
3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than they all.
Καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα αὕτη ἡ πτωχὴ, πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
4 For all these cast into the offerings of God from their abundance, but this woman from her poverty cast in all the living that she had.
πάντες γὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ δῶρα, αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς, πάντα τὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.”
5 And as some spoke about the temple, that it was adorned with fine stones and gifts, he said,
Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται, εἶπεν,
6 These things that ye see, the days will come during which there will not be left a stone upon a stone that will not be thrown down.
“Ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ὧδε, ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.”
7 And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what is the sign when these things are going to happen?
Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;”
8 And he said, Watch that ye may not be led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, I am, and, The time has come near. Go ye not therefore after them.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Βλέπετε, μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες, ‘Ἐγώ εἰμι’, καί, ‘Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν.’ Μὴ πορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
9 And when ye may hear of wars and tumults, do not be alarmed, for these things must first happen, but the end is not straightaway.
Ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.”
10 Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπʼ ἔθνος, καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
11 And great earthquakes will be in various places, and famines and plagues. And there will be fearful sights and great signs from the sky.
σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι, καὶ κατὰ τόπους, λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ σημεῖα ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα ἔσται.
12 But before all these things, they will throw their hands on you, and will persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων, ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ διώξουσιν, παραδιδόντες εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ φυλακάς, ἀπαγομένους ἐπὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἡγεμόνας, ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου.
13 But it will go out from you for testimony.
Ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
14 Settle therefore in your hearts not to premeditate to make defense.
Θέτε οὖν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι,
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who oppose you will not be able to contradict or to resist.
ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν, ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
16 And ye will be betrayed even by parents, and kinsmen, and friends, and brothers. And some of you they will condemn to death.
Παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων, καὶ ἀδελφῶν, καὶ συγγενῶν, καὶ φίλων, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν.
17 And ye will be hated by all men because of my name.
Καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
18 And, no, not a hair of your head will perish.
Καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν, οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται.
19 In your perseverance ye gain your souls.
Ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν, κτήσεσθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it has come near.
Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ στρατοπέδων Ἰερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
21 Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the midst of it depart out, and let not those in the rural areas enter into it.
Τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις, μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν.
22 Because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all things that are written.
Ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσιν τοῦ πλησθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
23 But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days. For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
Οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ.
24 And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρας, καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς τὰ ἔθνη· πάντα· καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν, ἄχρι οὗ πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
25 And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, roaring of sea and of tossing,
Καὶ ἔσονται σημεῖα ἐν ἡλίῳ, καὶ σελήνῃ, καὶ ἄστροις, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν, ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου,
26 fainting of men from fear, and of anticipation of the things coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.
Καὶ τότε ὄψονται ‘τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ’ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
28 And when these things begin to happen, stand upright, and lift up your heads, because your redemption approaches.
Ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι, ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.”
29 And he spoke a parable to them. Behold the fig tree, and all the trees.
Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς: “Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα·
30 When they are now sprouting, ye know seeing for yourselves that summer is now near.
ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν.
31 Even so ye, when ye see these things happening, know ye that the kingdom of God is near.
Οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
32 Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away until all things happen.
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη, ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
33 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.
Ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down in debauchery and drunkenness and mundane cares, and that day come upon you sudden.
Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς, μήποτε βαρηθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι ὑμῶν ἐν κραιπάλῃ, καὶ μέθῃ, καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς, καὶ ἐπιστῇ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς αἰφνίδιος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
35 For it will come like a trap upon all those who sit upon the face of all the earth.
ὡς παγίς· ἐπεισελεύσεται γὰρ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
36 Watch ye therefore, making supplication at all times, so that ye may be considered worthy to escape all these things going to happen, and to stand before the Son of man.
Ἀγρυπνεῖτε δὲ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, δεόμενοι ἵνα κατισχύσητε ἐκφυγεῖν ταῦτα πάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι, καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου.”
37 And during the days he was teaching in the temple, and going forth the nights, he lodged on the mount that is called Olives.
Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος, ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν.
38 And all the people rose early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
