路加福音 21
1 舉目一望，看見富人把他們的獻儀投入銀庫內，
Jesus looked up and saw the rich men who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 又看見一個貧苦的寡婦，把兩文錢投入裡面，
He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 遂說：「我實在告訴你們：這個寡婦比別人投入的更多，
So he said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them.
4 因為眾人都是拿他們多餘的投入，作為給又主的獻儀；而這個寡婦卻是從她的不足中，把她所有的生活費都投入了。
All of these gave gifts out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.”
5 有些人正談論聖殿是用美麗的石頭，和還願的獻品裝飾的，耶穌說：
As some spoke of the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,
6 「你們所看見的這一切，待那時日一到，沒有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上，而不被拆毀的。」
“As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down.”
7 他們遂問說：「師傅，那麼什麼時候要發生這些事﹖這些事要發生的時候，將有什麼先兆﹖」
So they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when will these things happen? What will be the sign when these things are about to happen?”
8 耶穌說：「你們要謹慎，不要受敢騙! 因為將有許多人，假冒我名字來說：我就是(默西亞)；又說：時期近了。你們切不可跟隨他們。
Jesus answered, “Be careful that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.
9 你們幾時聽見戰爭及叛亂，不要驚惶! 因為這些事必須先要發生，但還不即刻是結局。」
When you hear of wars and riots, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not happen immediately.”
10 耶穌又給他們說：「民族要起來攻擊民族，國家攻擊國家；
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 將有大地震，到處有饑荒及瘟疫；將出現可怖的異象，天上要有巨大的凶兆。
There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues. There will be terrifying events and great signs from heaven.
12 但是這一切事以前，為了失名字的緣故，人們要下手把你們拘捕、迫害、解送到會堂，並囚在獄中；且押送到君王及總督之前，
But before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you over to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors because of my name.
13 為給你們一個作證的機會。
It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.
14 所以，你們心中要鎮定，不要事先考慮申辯，
Therefore resolve in your hearts not to prepare your defense ahead of time,
15 因為我要給你們口才和明智，是你們的一切仇敵所不能抵抗及辯駁的。
for I will give you words and wisdom that all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.
16 你們要為父母、兄弟、親戚及朋友所出賣；你們中有一些要被殺死。
But you will be delivered up also by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
17 你們要為了我的名字，受眾人的憎恨；
You will be hated by everyone because of my name.
18 但是，連你們的一根頭髮，也不會失落。
But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 你們要憑著堅忍，保全你們的靈魂。」
In your endurance you will gain your souls.
20 幾時你們看見耶路撒冷被軍隊圍困，那時你們便知道：她的荒涼近了。
When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its destruction is near.
21 那時在猶太的，要逃往山中；在京都的，要離去；在鄉間的，不要茌進京。
Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the city leave it, and those who are out in the country must not enter the city.
22 因為這是報復日子，為要應驗所記載的一切。
For these are days of vengeance, so that all the things that are written will be fulfilled.
23 在那些日子內，懷用孕的及哺的乳的，是禍的，因為要有大難降臨這地方，要有義怒臨於這百姓身上。
Woe to them who are pregnant and to them who are nursing in those days! For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
24 他們要倒在劍刃之下，要被擄往列國；耶肋米亞要受異民蹂躝，直到異民的時期滿限。
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and they will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 在日月星辰上，將有異兆出現；在地上，萬國要因海洋波濤的怒號而驚惶失措。
There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth. The nations will be in distress, anxious because of the roar of the sea and waves.
26 眾人要因恐懼，等待即將臨於天下的事而昏絕，因為諸天的萬象將要搖動。
There will be men fainting from fear and from expectation of the things which are coming upon the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 那時，他們要看見人子，帶著威能及莫大光榮乘雲降來。
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 這些事開始發生時，你們應當挺起身來，抬起你們的頭，因為你們的救援近了。」
But when these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is coming near.”
29 耶穌又給他們設了一個比喻：「你們看看無花果樹及各種樹木，
Jesus told them a parable, “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 幾時你們看見它們已經發芽，就知道夏天已經近了。
When they sprout buds, you see for yourselves and know that summer is already near.
31 同樣你們看見這些事發生了，也應知道天主的國近了。
So also, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 我實在告訴你們：非等一切事發生了，這一代絕不會過去。
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
33 天地要過去，但是，我的話決不會過去。
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 你們應當謹慎，免得你們心為宴飲沈醉，及人生的掛慮所累時，那意想不到的日子臨於你們，
But pay attention to yourselves, so that your hearts are not burdened with the effects of drinking and intoxication, and the worries of life, and then that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 因為日子有如羅網，臨於全地面的一切居民。
For it will come upon everyone living on the face of the whole earth.
36 所以你們應當時時醒寤祈禱，為便你們能逃脫即將發生的這一切事，並能立於人子之前。」
But be alert at all times, praying that you may be strong enough to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 耶穌白天在聖殿施教，黑夜便出去，到名叫橄欖的山上住宿。
So during the days he was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
38 眾百姓清早起來，到祂跟前，在聖殿裏聽祂講道。
All of the people came early in the morning to hear him in the temple.
