路加福音 21
1 耶稣抬头观看，见财主把捐项投在库里，
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 又见一个穷寡妇投了两个小钱，
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 就说：“我实在告诉你们，这穷寡妇所投的比众人还多；
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 因为众人都是自己有余，拿出来投在捐项里，但这寡妇是自己不足，把她一切养生的都投上了。”
5 有人谈论圣殿是用美石和供物妆饰的；
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 耶稣就说：“论到你们所看见的这一切，将来日子到了，在这里没有一块石头留在石头上，不被拆毁了。”
“[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 他们问他说：“夫子！什么时候有这事呢？这事将到的时候有什么预兆呢？”
[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 耶稣说：“你们要谨慎，不要受迷惑；因为将来有好些人冒我的名来，说：‘我是基督’，又说：‘时候近了’，你们不要跟从他们！
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 你们听见打仗和扰乱的事，不要惊惶；因为这些事必须先有，只是末期不能立时就到。”
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 当时，耶稣对他们说：“民要攻打民，国要攻打国；
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 地要大大震动，多处必有饥荒、瘟疫，又有可怕的异象和大神迹从天上显现。
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 但这一切的事以先，人要下手拿住你们，逼迫你们，把你们交给会堂，并且收在监里，又为我的名拉你们到君王诸侯面前。
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 但这些事终必为你们的见证。
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 所以，你们当立定心意，不要预先思想怎样分诉；
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 因为我必赐你们口才、智慧，是你们一切敌人所敌不住、驳不倒的。
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 连你们的父母、弟兄、亲族、朋友也要把你们交官；你们也有被他们害死的。
[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 你们要为我的名被众人恨恶，
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 然而，你们连一根头发也必不损坏。
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 你们常存忍耐，就必保全灵魂。”
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 “你们看见耶路撒冷被兵围困，就可知道它成荒场的日子近了。
“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 那时，在犹太的应当逃到山上；在城里的应当出来；在乡下的不要进城；
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 因为这是报应的日子，使经上所写的都得应验。
[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 当那些日子，怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了！因为将有大灾难降在这地方，也有震怒临到这百姓。
[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 他们要倒在刀下，又被掳到各国去。耶路撒冷要被外邦人践踏，直到外邦人的日期满了。”
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 “日、月、星辰要显出异兆，地上的邦国也有困苦；因海中波浪的响声，就慌慌不定。
“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 天势都要震动，人想起那将要临到世界的事，就都吓得魂不附体。
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 那时，他们要看见人子有能力，有大荣耀驾云降临。
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 一有这些事，你们就当挺身昂首，因为你们得赎的日子近了。”
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 耶稣又设比喻对他们说：“你们看无花果树和各样的树；它发芽的时候，你们一看见，自然晓得夏天近了。
[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.
31 这样，你们看见这些事渐渐地成就，也该晓得 神的国近了。
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 我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这些事都要成就。
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 天地要废去，我的话却不能废去。”
[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 “你们要谨慎，恐怕因贪食、醉酒，并今生的思虑累住你们的心，那日子就如同网罗忽然临到你们；
“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 因为那日子要这样临到全地上一切居住的人。
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 你们要时时警醒，常常祈求，使你们能逃避这一切要来的事，得以站立在人子面前。”
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 耶稣每日在殿里教训人，每夜出城在一座山，名叫橄榄山住宿。
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 众百姓清早上圣殿，到耶稣那里，要听他讲道。
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
