Luge 21
1 Yesu da ba: le gagaloba, bagade gagui dunu ilia Godema imunusa: , muni amo Debolo Diasu muni salasu ganodini salabe ba: i.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Amalalu, hame gagui didalo da eme bogoi fage aduna salalebe, E ba: i.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Yesu E amane sia: i, “Na dilima dafawane sia: sa. Amo hame gagui didalo ea iabe da eno dunu huluane ilia iabe amo baligi dagoi.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Ilia bagade gaguiba: le, mogili la: idi fawane i. Be e da hame gagui gala. Be e da ea labe huluanedafa i dagoi.”
5 Yesu Ea ado ba: su dunu mogili da Yesuma amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Debolo Diasu da ida: iwane ba: sa. Igi ida: iwane amoga gaguiba: le, amola liligi ida: iwane gala Godema iasu amoga legeiba: le, hahawane bagade ba: sa.”
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 Be Yesu E bu adole i, “Amo ida: iwane liligi dilia waha ba: lala. Be enohaga dilia ha lai dunu ilia amo diasu mugulumuba: le, igi afae da igi eno da: iya dialebe hamedafa ba: mu.”
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Amalalu, ilia da Yesuma amane adole ba: i, “Olelesu! Amo hou da habogala ba: ma: bela”? Amo hou da gadenene doaga: i dawa: ma: ne, ninia adi dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: ma: bela: ?”
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Yesu E bu adole i, “Dawa: ma! Eno dunu dilima ogogosa: besa: le dawa: ma! Dunu bagohame ilia da Na Dio ogogole lalegaguiwane misini, ilia da amane sia: mu, ‘Na da Mesaia!’ amola ‘Eso da doaga: i dagoi!’ ilia da sia: mu. Ilima mae fa: no bobogema!
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Gegesu hou amola sia: ga gegesu hou nababeba: le, dilia mae beda: ma. Dafawane! Amo hou da hidadea ba: mu, be soge wadela: mu eso da fa: no ba: mu.”
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Yesu E eno sia: i, “Dunu fi da heda: le, eno dunu fi ilima gegenanumu. Soge fi eno da soge fi enoma gegemu.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Bebeda: nima amola ha: amola olo bagade, bagohame ba: mu. Dunu huluane beda: mane, mu amo ganodini gasa bagade dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: mu.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Amo hou bisili, dilia se nabasu eso da doaga: mu. Ilia da dili gasawane gaguli, afugili, famu. Ilia da dili sinagoge diasu ganodini fofada: lalu, se dabe iasu diasu ganodini salimu. Dilia da Na Dio lalegaguiba: le, osobo bagade hina bagade dunu amola ouligisu dunu da dilima fofada: mu.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Be amo esoga, dilia Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane ilima olelema: ne, logo doasi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da ilima Gode Ea hou ba: su dunu agoane ba: mu.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Be ilia da dilima fofada: muba: le, dilia hou gaga: ma: ne bu adole iasu hidadea bagadewane mae dawa: ma.
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Bai Na bu adole iasu hou, amola bagade dawa: su hou dilima baligiliwane imunuba: le, dilima fofada: su dunu dilia sia: nababeba: le, fofogadigili, dilima bu adole imunu gogolemu.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Be dilia ada, ame, yolalali, fi dunu amola na: iyado dunu, ilia da dilima ougiba: le, dilima fofada: ma: ne, dili ha lai dunuma imunu. Mogili, dilia da medole legei dagoi ba: mu.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Dilia da na hou lalegaguiba: le, dunu huludafa da dili higamu.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Be dilia da gaga: iba: le, dilia dialuma hinabo afadafa fawane da hame fisimu.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Noga: le leloma! Gasawane lalegaguma! Amasea, dilia da eso huluane Fifi Ahoanusu ba: mu!
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Be Yelusaleme da ha lai gegesu dunuga eale disi dagoi ba: sea, defea, ea gugunufinisimu eso da gadenene doaga: i dawa: ma.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Amasea, Yudia esalebe fi dunu da goumiga hobea: ma: mu. Moilai fi dunu da muguluma: mu, amola soge fi dunu huluane da moilaiga hame buhagima: mu.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Amo eso da ‘Se Dabe Iasu Eso’ ba: mu. Amo hou huluane, musa: Gode Sia: Dedei ganodini dedei galu da dafawane ba: mu.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Amo esoga, abula agui uda amola uda ilia mano dudubu da dodo maga: me naha, ilia da se bagade nabimu. Osobo bagade fi huluanedafa da se bagade nabimu, amola Isala: ili dunu fi da Gode Ea se dabe iasu ba: mu.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Mogili da ha lai dunu ilia gegesu gobiheiga medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Mogili ilia afugili, eno sedaga fifilai amo ilia sogega udigili hawa: hamomusa: , mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu.

Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Amasea, eso, oubi amola gasumuni ilia hou hisu agoane hamobeba: le, beda: su bagade dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: mu. Osobo bagadega, hano wayabo bagadewane fugala: beba: le amola heda: beba: le, dunu fifi asi gala da beda: ga da: i dione hiawini ba: mu.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Eso, oubi amola gasumuni, da ugugubiba: le, osobo bagade dunu fi da amo misunu hou ba: sea, beda: ga sidimu.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Amasea, ilia da Dunu Egefe, mu mobi ganodini, gasa bagade amola hadigiwane, osobo bagadega manebe ba: mu.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Amo hou degabo agoane ba: sea, dilia Gode Ea hou lalegagui dunu wa: legadole, ba: le gadole amola Godema nodone sia: ma. Bai dilia gaga: su esodafa da gadenene doaga: i dagoi dawa: beba: le.”
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Amalalu, Yesu da fedege sia: olelei, “Figi ifa amola ifa huluane amo ea hou dawa: ma!
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Lubi lasea, mugi oubi da gadenesa galebe dawa: ma.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Amaiwane, Na adoi liligi ba: beba: le, Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou doaga: mu da gadenesa, amo dawa: ma.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Dawa: ma! Waha fi esalebe da mae bogole, amo hou huluane ba: mu.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Mu amola osobo bagade da mugululi hamedafa ba: mu. Be Na sia: da hamedafa mugululi dialumu.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Dawa: ma! Na bu misunu eso da sani agoane dilima doaga: sa: besa: le, ha: i nasu amola adini nasu amola osobo bagade hou fonobahadi, amo bagadewane mae dawa: ma.
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 Amo eso, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluanedafa da ba: mu.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Dawa: ma! Noga: le ba: ma! Dilia da mae dafane, se nabasu eso baligili, Dunu Egefe Ema hahawane doaga: le, E midadi leloma: ne, Godema sia: ne gadoma!”
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Amo eso huluane, Yesu da Debolo Diasu ganodini olelesu. Daeya huluane, e da Debolo Diasu fisili, Olife Goumiga ahoasu.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Hahabedafa huluane, dunu bagohame da Ea sia: nabimusa: , Debolo Diasuga misini, gilisi.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
