লুক 21
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
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 ৪ কারণ এরা সবাই নিজের নিজের বাড়তি টাকা থেকে কিছু কিছু দানের মধ্যে রাখল, কিন্তু এ নিজের অনাটন সত্বেও এর যা কিছু ছিল, সবই রাখল।
5 ৫ আর যখন কেউ কেউ ঈশ্বরের গৃহের বিষয়ে বলছিলেন, ওটা কেমন সুন্দর সুন্দর পাথরে ও উত্সর্গীকৃত জিনিসে সুশোভিত, তিনি বললেন,
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 ৬ “তোমরা এই যে সব দেখছ, এমন দিন আসছে, যখন এর একখানি পাথর অন্য পাথরের উপরে থাকবে না, সমস্তই ধ্বংস হবে।”
“[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 ৭ তারা তাঁকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, “হে গুরু, তবে এসব ঘটনা কখন হবে? আর যখন এসব ঘটনা ঘটবে তখন তার চিহ্নই বা কি?”
[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 ৮ তিনি বললেন, দেখ, ভ্রান্ত হয়ো না; কারণ অনেকে আমার নাম ধরে আসবে, বলবে, আমিই তিনি ও দিন নিকটবর্তী; তোমরা তাদের পিছনে যেও না।
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 ৯ আর যখন তোমরা যুদ্ধের ও গণ্ডগোলের কথা শুনবে, ভয় পাবে না, কারণ প্রথমে এই সব ঘটবেই ঘটবে কিন্তু তখনই শেষ না।
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!”
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 ১১ বিশাল বিশাল ভূমিকম্প এবং জায়গায় জায়গায় দূর্ভিক্ষ ও মহামারী হবে, আর আকাশে ভয়ঙ্কর লক্ষণ এবং মহৎ চিহ্ন হবে।
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 ১২ কিন্তু এই সব ঘটনার আগে লোকেরা তোমাদের বন্দি করবে, তোমাদের নির্যাতন করবে, সমাজঘরে ও কারাগারে সমর্পণ করবে; আমার নামের জন্য তোমাদের রাজাদের ও শাসনকর্ত্তাদের সামনে আনা হবে।
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].
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 ১৫ কারণ আমি তোমাদের এমন কথা ও বুদ্ধি দেব যে, তোমাদের বিপক্ষেরা কেউ প্রতিরোধ করতে কি উত্তর দিতে পারবে না।
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 ১৬ আর তোমরা বাবা মা, ভাই, আত্মীয় ও বন্ধুদের দ্বারা সমর্পিত হবে এবং তোমাদের কাউকে কাউকেও তারা মেরে ফেলবে।
[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.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
“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 ২১ তখন যারা যিহূদিয়ায় থাকে, তারা পাহাড়ি অঞ্চলে পালিয়ে যাক এবং যারা শহরের মধ্যে থাকে, তারা বাইরে যাক; আর যারা গ্রামাঞ্চলে থাকে, তারা শহরে না আসুক।
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].
[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 ২৩ হায়!, সেই দিনের গর্ভবতী ও স্তন্যদাত্রী স্ত্রীলোকদের ভয়ঙ্কর দুর্দশা! কারণ ভূমিতে মহাসংকট এবং এই জাতির ওপর ক্রোধ নেমে আসবে।
[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 ২৪ লোকেরা তরবারির আঘাতে মারা পড়বে; এবং বন্দি হয়ে সকল অইহূদির মধ্যে সমর্পিত হবে; আর অইহূদিদের দিন সম্পূর্ণ না হওয়া পর্যন্ত যিরুশালেম সব জাতির কাছে পদদলিত হবে।
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 ২৫ আর সূর্য্যে, চাঁদে ও তারকামন্ডলে নানা চিহ্ন দেখা যাবে এবং পৃথিবীতে সমস্ত জাতি কষ্টে ভুগবে, তারা সমুদ্রের ও ঢেউয়ের গর্জনে উদ্বিগ্ন হবে।
“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 ২৬ ভয়ে এবং পৃথিবীতে যা যা ঘটবে তার আশঙ্কায়, মানুষেরা অজ্ঞান হয়ে যাবে; কারণ আকাশের সব শক্তি বিচলিত হবে।
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}.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
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].”
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
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 ৩২ আমি তোমাদের সত্য বলছি, যে পর্যন্ত এসব পূর্ণ না হয়, সেই পর্যন্ত এই কালের লোকদের মৃত্যু হবে না।
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.
[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 ৩৪ কিন্তু নিজেদের বিষয়ে সাবধান থেকো, রোগে ও ভোগবিলাসে এবং কাজের চিন্তায় তোমাদের হৃদয় যেন ভারাক্রান্ত না হয় এবং জীবনে যেন ভয় না আসে, আর সেই দিন হঠাৎ ফাঁদের মতো তোমাদের ওপরে এসে পড়বে;
“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].
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 ৩৬ কিন্তু তোমরা সব দিনের জেগে থেকো এবং প্রার্থনা করো, যেন এই যেসব ঘটনা ঘটবে, তা এড়াতে এবং মনুষ্যপুত্রের সামনে দাঁড়াতে, শক্তিমান হও।
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 ৩৭ আর তিনি প্রতিদিন মন্দিরে উপদেশ দিতেন এবং প্রতিরাতে বাইরে গিয়ে জৈতুন নামে পর্বতে গিয়ে থাকতেন।
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.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
