Luke 21
1 Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
Yesu te asɔredan mu hɔ no, ohuu asikafo bi a wɔde wɔn afɔrebɔde akɛseakɛse regu afɔrebɔ adaka no mu.
2 He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
Ohuu okunafo hiani bi nso sɛ ɔde sika kakraa bi too afɔre adaka no mu.
3 “I tell you”, he said “that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipa a na wɔwɔ asɔredan mu hɔ no se, “Nokware ni, afɔre a okunafo hiani yi bɛbɔɔ no som bo sen afɔre akɛseakɛse a asikafo no bɛbɔɔ no nyinaa.
4 for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.”
Wɔn nyinaa de nea wɔanya ama aboro so no bi na ɛbɛbɔɔ afɔre, na oyi de, ofi ne hia mu de ne sika a ɔwɔ nyinaa na abegu mu yi.”
5 When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
Yesu akyidifo no bi kamfoo abo fɛfɛ a wɔde sii asɔredan no ne adwinni ahorow a wɔadi agu ɔdan no ho no. Nanso Yesu kae se,
6 “As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.”
“Bere bi bɛba a, wobedwiriw nneɛma a morekamfo yi nyinaa agu a hwee renka.”
7 So the disciples questioned Jesus, “But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?”
Wobisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, bere bɛn na asɛm a woreka yi besi, na ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛyɛ dɛn?”
8 And Jesus said, “See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not follow them.
Yesu buae se, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye na obi annaadaa mo, efisɛ nnipa pii bɛsɔre aka se, ‘Mene Kristo no’ na bere no abɛn, nanso monnnye wɔn nni!
9 And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.”
Sɛ mote akokoakoko ne sɛ wɔsɔre tia aman a, munnsuro efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ saa nneɛma yi di kan ba nanso na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ awiei no abɛn.”
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
Ɔkaa bio se, “Aman bɛsɔre aman so na ahenni asɔre ahenni so.
11 and there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
Asasewosow a ɛyɛ hu bɛba, ɔkɔm bɛba na nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu befi wim asisi.
12 Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
“Nanso ansa na eyinom nyinaa besisi no, me din nti, wɔbɛtaa mo akyekyere mo, de mo akɔ hyiadan mu ne afiase ne ahemfo ne atumfo anim.
13 Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
Eyi bɛma moanya kwan adi me ho adanse.
14 Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defense;
Nanso, monnnwene nsɛm a mobɛka de ayi mo ho ano no ho;
15 for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
Efisɛ mɛma mo nsɛm ne nyansa a mode beyi mo ho ano a mo atamfo rentumi nnyina mo anim.
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
Mo awofo, mo nuanom, mo abusuafo ne mo nnamfonom beyi mo ama na wobekum mo mu bi.
17 and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
Na me nti nnipa bɛtan mo.
18 Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
Nanso mo tinwi baako pɛ mpo renyera.
19 By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
Na sɛ mutumi gyina pintinn a, mubenya nkwa a enni awiei.”
20 As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
“Sɛ muhu sɛ asraafo atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne sɛe abɛn.
21 Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
Saa bere no wɔn a wɔte Yudea nguan nkɔ mmepɔw no so; wɔn a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no nguan mfi mu, na wɔn nso a wɔwɔ nkuraa ne mfuw mu no ntena hɔ ara.
22 For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
Saa bere yi mu na Onyankopɔn asotwe a adiyifo no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu no bɛba mu.
23 Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
Wɔn a wɔafa afuru ne wɔn a wɔma mma nufu no nnue. Amanehunu a enni kabea bɛba ɔman no so na Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew nso aba nnipa no so.
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over – as it will be.
Ebinom bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano na wɔafa ebinom nso nnommum de wɔn akɔ amanaman so na amanaman bɛsɛe Yerusalem, adi so akosi bere a Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ sɛ amanaman nni wɔn so no betwa mu.”
25 There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
“Nsɛnkyerɛnne bɛba owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma mu na po asorɔkye bɛbobɔ mu, aworo so ama ne nnyigyei dennen no de ahoyeraw aba aman nyinaa so.
26 People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
Esiane nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba asase so no nti, nnipa pii bɛtotɔ piti na abɔde a ɛwɔ wim nso awosow ahoɔden so.
27 Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Saa bere no na wobehu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔde tumi ne anuonyam a ɛso nam omununkum mu reba.
28 And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”
Sɛ saa asɛm yi fi ase sisi a, momfa gyidi nnyina pintinn, efisɛ na mo nkwagye bere abɛn.”
29 Then he taught them a lesson, saying – “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
Yesu buu wɔn bɛ bi se, “Monhwɛ borɔdɔma ne nnua nyinaa.
30 As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
Sɛ eyiyi nhaban foforo a na ɛkyerɛ sɛ asusow bere adu.
31 And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Saa ara nso na sɛ muhu nsɛnkyerɛnne a mereka ho asɛm yi a, munhu sɛ Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn.
32 I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
“Nokware mise mo sɛ, awo ntoatoaso yi rentwa mu, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
33 The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Ɔsoro ne asase betwa mu akɔ, nanso me nsɛm de, ɛrentwa mu da.
34 Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and ‘that day’ will close on you suddenly like a trap.
“Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye! Mommma adiditraso ne asabow ne asetena mu dadwen nni mo so, anyɛ saa a, me ba a mɛba bio no befu mo mu.
35 For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
Efisɛ me ba a mɛba no befu nnipa a wɔte asase so nyinaa mu.
36 Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
Monwɛn. Bere biara mommɔ mpae na moanya ahoɔden de agyina saa nneɛma yi nyinaa ano na mesan ba bio a, moatumi agyina mʼanim.”
37 During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the ‘Mount of Olives.’
Da biara, na Yesu kɔ asɔredan mu hɔ kɔkyerɛkyerɛ, na sɛ edu anwummere biara a, Yesu kɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so kɔhome.
38 And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
Na nnipa pii sɔre anɔpahema biara kotie no wɔ asɔredan mu.
