< Luke 21 >

1 Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ
2 He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
ܘܚܙܐ ܐܦ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܝܬ ܫܡܘܢܐ ܬܪܝܢ
3 “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
ܘܐܡܪ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ
4 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܗ ܟܠ ܕܩܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܪܡܝܬܗ
5 Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܒܟܐܦܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܘܒܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܨܒܬ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ
6 “Regarding these things you're looking at… The time is coming when not one stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed!”
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܒܩ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܕܠܐ ܬܤܬܬܪ
7 “Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܝܢ
8 “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.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܠܡܐ ܬܛܥܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ
9 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.
ܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܘܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܥܬܝܕܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܡܛܬ ܚܪܬܐ
10 Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
ܢܩܘܡ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܠܟܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘ
11 “There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
ܘܙܘܥܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܕܘܟܐ ܕܘܟܐ ܘܟܦܢܐ ܘܡܘܬܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܤܘܪܕܐ ܘܐܬܘܬܐ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܚܙܝܢ ܘܤܬܘܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ
12 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.
ܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܘܢܪܕܦܘܢܟܘܢ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܢܩܪܒܘܢܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ
13 But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
ܗܘܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ
14 So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
ܤܝܡܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܝܠܦܝܢ ܠܡܦܩ ܪܘܚܐ
15 for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܩܡ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
ܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܚܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܡܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ
18 But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
ܘܡܢܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܫܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܒܕ
19 By standing firm you will gain your lives.
ܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܩܢܘܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ
20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܚܕܝܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܚܘܪܒܗ
21 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.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܓܘܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܘܕܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܗ
22 For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܬܒܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܠܡ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ
23 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.
ܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܛܢܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢܩܢ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܪܘܓܙܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ
24 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.
ܘܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܘܢܫܬܒܘܢ ܠܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܬܕܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ
25 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.
ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܒܫܡܫܐ ܘܒܤܗܪܐ ܘܒܟܘܟܒܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܘܦܘܫܟ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܗܬܐ ܕܩܠܐ ܕܝܡܐ
26 People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
ܘܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܦܩ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܬܬܙܝܥܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ
27 Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܥܡ ܚܝܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܪܒܐ
28 But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܘܐܪܝܡܘ ܪܫܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܟܘܢ
29 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܠܬܬܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܢܐ
30 When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
ܕܡܐ ܕܡܦܪܥܝܢ ܡܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܩܝܛܐ
31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
32 I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܘܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܢܥܒܪܢ
34 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.
ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܢܐܩܪܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܘܒܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܨܦܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ
35 For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
ܐܝܟ ܨܦܚܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܨܦܚ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗ ܕܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ
36 Always keep watch and pray, so that you may be able to escape all that will happen and stand before the Son of man.”
ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܫܗܪܝܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܕܬܫܘܘܢ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܘܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
37 Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܬ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ
38 All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܗ
