Luka 21
1 A dan vaengah kuirhang rhoek kah a kutdoe tangkabu khuila a sang uh te a hmuh.
Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
2 Te vaengah khodaeng nuhmai pakhat loh mucih panit a sang te a hmuh bal.
He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
3 Te dongah, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, hekah nuhmai khodaeng loh amih boeih lakah muep a sang coeng.
“I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
4 Amih tah amamih kah a coih te kutdoe la boeih a sang uh. Anih long tah a vawtthoeknah khui lamkah a khosaknah ham a khueh te boeih a sang coeng,” a ti nah.
All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
5 Bawkim te lungto khaw then tih nawnnah neh a thoeihcam coeng bet a ti uh.
Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
6 “Hekah he na hmuh uh dae khohnin ha pawk ni. Te vaengah a phil pawt te lungto pakhat dongah lungto pakhat khaw hmaai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
“Regarding these things you're looking at… The time is coming when not one stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed!”
7 Amah te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, te koinih te te me vaengah lae a om eh? Miknoek loh a om tom vaengah balae aka om eh?” a ti na uh.
“Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 Te dongah Jesuh loh. “Ng'rhaithi pawt ham hmat uh. Ka ming neh muep ha pawk uh vetih, ‘Kai coeng ni, a tue loh yoei coeng,’ ti uh cakhaw amih hnukah cet uh boeh.
“Make sure you're not deceived,” Jesus warned them. “Many people will come claiming to be me, saying, ‘Here I am!’ and, ‘The time has come!’ but don't follow them.
9 Caem neh soekloeknah na yaak uh vaengah let uh boeh. Te te lamhma la a om ham ngawn a kuek. Tedae a bawtnah long tah pha koeloe mahpawh,” a ti nah.
When you hear of wars and revolutions, don't be frightened, because these things have to happen first, but the end won't come immediately.
10 Te phoeiah amih te, “Namtu loh namtu, ram loh ram a thoh thil ni.
Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
11 Lingluei puei neh khokha loh hmuen tom ah tlung vetih duektahaw khaw pul ni. Mueirhih neh vaan lamkah miknoek long khaw mat ha thoeng ni.
“There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
12 Tedae te hlan ah te hlang boeih kah a kut te nangmih pum dongla a hlah uh vetih n'hnaemtaek uh ni. Tunim neh thongim la n'thak uh ni. Kai ming kongah manghai tom neh khoboei tom taengla ng'khuen uh ni.
But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will drag you before synagogues and throw you into prison, and put you on trial before kings and governors on account of me.
13 Nangmih ham laipai la poeh bitni.
But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
14 Te dongah na thinko khuiah khueh uh lamtah huul uh ham khaw tawn boeh.
So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
15 Kai loh olka neh cueihnah te nangmih kam paek bitni. Te te nangmih aka kingkalh rhoek boeih loh a kamkaih ham neh a oelh ham coeng thai mahpawh.
for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
16 Nangmih te manu napa, manuca rhoek, huiko neh paya laikoi long khaw m'voeih uh vetih n'duek sak ni.
You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
17 Kai ming kongah hlang boeih kah a hmuhuet la na om uh ni.
Everyone will hate you because of me.
18 Tedae na lu sokah sampin pataeng poci loengloeng mahpawh.
But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
19 Namamih kah uehnah nen ni na hinglu te na kaelh uh eh.”
By standing firm you will gain your lives.
20 “Caem loh Jerusalem a vael uh te na hmuh uh vaengah, anih kah mitmoengnah loh yoei coeng tite ming uh.
However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
21 Te vaengah Judea kah rhoek loh tlang la rhaelrham uh saeh. A laklung kah rhoek long khaw coe uh saeh. Tekah kho kah rhoek khaw a khuila kun boel saeh.
Those who are in Judea should run away to the mountains, and those who are in Jerusalem should leave, and those who are the countryside shouldn't enter the city.
22 Te dongah a daek tangtae te boeih soep sak ham ni te rhoek kah kutthungnah khohnin tah a om.
For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
23 Anunae bungvawn la aka om neh te khohnin kah cacun rhoek aih. Diklai hmankah a kueknah a len neh he pilnam taengah kosi la om bitni.
How hard it will be for those who are pregnant or nursing babies at that time! For terrible trouble is coming on the land and punishment against this people.
24 Te vaengah cunghang ha dongah cungku uh vetih namtom boeih taengah a sol uh ni. Namtom rhoek kah a tue a soep duela Jerusalem khaw namtom kah a til ham ni a om eh.”
They will be killed by the sword and taken away as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trodden down by the foreign nations until their time is fulfilled.
25 “Te vaengah tah miknoek boeih loh khomik, hla neh aisi dongah om uh ni. Tuipuei kah olhum neh tuiphu kah ngaihitnah dongah namtom rhoek kah ngaisaknah te diklai ah om ni.
There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth the nations will be in distress, confused by the sea's rolling and crashing.
26 Lunglai ah aka thoeng rhihnah neh lamsonah dongah hlang he sut hit uh ni. Vaan kah thaomnah long khaw hinghuen uh ni.
People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
27 Te vaengah khomai dongah thaomnah neh thangpomnah a len neh aka pawk hlang capa te a hmuh uh ni.
Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Nangmih kah tlannah tah a yoei coeng dongah, aka om ham te a moe vaengah pai uh lamtah na lu dangrhoek uh,” a ti nah.
But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
29 Te phoeiah amih ham nuettahnah neh, “Thaibu neh thing boeih ke na hmuh uh.
Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
30 Tahae kah aka boe te aka hmuh rhoek long tah namah neh namah te, khohal vat a pha coeng tila na ming uh.
When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
31 Te vanbangla nangmih long khaw he he ha thoeng tih na hmuh uh vaengah Pathen kah ram tah pai tom coeng tila ming uh.
In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
32 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, boeih a thoeng hlan atah tahae kah cadil loh a khum mueh la om mahpawh.
I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
33 Vaan neh diklai tah khum ni, tedae kai ol khum loengloeng mahpawh.”
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
34 “Te dongah namamih te ngaithuen uh lukilnah, rhuihahnah, khosak rhamsak kah mawntangnah dongah na thinko loh n'nan ve. Tekah khohnin loh nangmih soah buengrhuet ha pai ve.
Watch out that you don't become distracted by partying or getting drunk or by the worries of this life, so that this day catches you by surprise.
35 Thaang bangla diklai maelhmai tom ah aka ngol rhoek boeih te a thoeng thil ni.
For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
36 Tedae aka thangthui rhoek loh a tue cungkuem dongah hak uh. Te daengah ni om la aka cai boeih he poenghal ham neh, hlang capa hmaiah pai ham na noeng uh eh,” a ti nah.
Always keep watch and pray, so that you may be able to escape all that will happen and stand before the Son of man.”
37 Khothaih puet bawkim ah om tih a thuituen dae khoyin ah tah Olive a ti uh tlang soah cet tih rhaeh.
Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
38 Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh anih ol yaak ham bawkim khuikah amah taengla ana yue uh coeng.
All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
