Luke 21
1 Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
Jesuh naw mang hü lü, bawimangki he naw, Temple khawh petnak üng ami khawh pe u se a jah hmuh.
2 He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
Acunüng, m'yenksekia hmeinu mat pi, tangka ca nghngih pe law hnga se hmu lü,
3 “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hin hea kthaka pi, acuna m'yenkse hmeinu naw a pet däm bawk ve;
4 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
“Hin he naw ami taka kpawih pe lawki he; cunsepi, hina hmeinu naw a xünnak vaia a tak naküt pe ve,” a ti.
5 Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
Acunüng, axüisaw he avang naw, Temple lunga kyäpa mawng, a dawa mawng la Pamhnam ami petmsawta mawng pyen u se,
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!”
Jesuh naw, “Hin atuh nami jah hmuh, hin üng lung matca pi am ve se, avan a kpyehnaka kcün pha law khai,” a ti.
7 “Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Amimi naw, “Saja aw, acun cun itia kya law khai? Acun a pha law hlü üng msingnak i ve law khai?” tia, ami kthäh.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Ä ami ning jah hleihlaknak vaia a na cäiei ua. Khyang khawjah naw, ‘Kei Khritaw ni,’ ‘Akcün pha law hlü ve,’ ti u lü, keia ngming pyen u lü, ngdang law khai he; acun he ä nami jah läk vai.
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.
Acunüng, ngtungahnak la nghnengnaka ngthu nami ngjak üng, ä nami kyüh vai. Acun he akcüka ve law khai he, cunsepi acuna phäha adütnak ng'et lawkia am kya pha naw.
10 Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
“Pung la pung ngtu law khai he, khawe la khawe ngtu law khai he;
11 “There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
“Mkhyü aknuia ngsün law khai, pung avana khawjaw law khai, mnehmnang da law khai, khankhawa am hmuh khawia msingnak he aktäkpaia ngdang law khai he.
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.
“Acun he avan am a pha law hlan üng, ka ngminga phäha, ning jah man u lü, ning jah mkhuimkha u lü, Sinakok la thawngima ning jah cehpüi khai he. Sangpuxang he la khawbawi hea veia ning jah cehpüi khai he.
13 But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
“Cunsepi, acun cun thangkdaw nami pyenak vaia kcün kdawa kya khai.
14 So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
“Akcün am a pha law hlan üng ikba nami pyen be vaia ä cäi ua.
15 for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
“Nami ye he naw, am ami ning jah nängnak vaia, khyaihnaka ngthu la ksingnak kei naw ka ning jah pe khai.
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
“Nami nu la nami pa he, nami hnunpüi he, nami püi he naw pi ning jah ceng u lü ning jah man law sak khai he; avang ning jah hnim khai he.
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
“Keia ngminga phäha khyang avan naw ning jah hneng law khai he.
18 But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
“Cunsepi, nami lusam matca pi am khyük khai ni.
19 By standing firm you will gain your lives.
“Nami khängceknak am nami ngküikyanei kyu khai.
20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
“Acunüng, yekap he naw Jerusalem nglung law na u se nami hmuh üng, Jerusalem pyeh law hlüki ti nami ksing vai.
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.
“Judah khawa awmki he mcung hea dawng u se; mlüh k’uma awmki he kpunga dawng u se; mlüh kpunga awmki he mlüh k’uma ä lut be u se.
22 For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
“Acuna mhmüp cun, cangcim üng ng’yuki akümnak vaia, Mkhuimkhanaka Mhmüpa kya khai.
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.
“Acuna mhmüp üng m'yaieiki he la naca kpawmeiki he ta ami jo se ve; hina mdeka khana khuikhanak cang pha law khai, hina khyang hea khana Mhnama mkhuimkhanak pha law khaia kyaki.
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.
“Avang he Mthikcim am jah hnim khai he, avang he pung kcea jah cehpüi u lü thawngim üng jah khyum khai he; khyangmjükce hea mhmüp am a küm hlana küt üng, Jerusalem cun khyangmjükce hea khaw keha ve khai.
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.
“Nghngi, khya la aisi hea khana msingnak he ngdang law khai he; mliktui nghmüm law lü phu law se khawmdek khan avan üng khyang he kyükyawk u lü cäicah law khai he.
26 People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
“Khan ngsün law khaia kyase, khawmdek khana pha law khaia khuikhanak vai ngaihkyunak la kyühkyawk lawa phäha pi khyang he käikang law khai he.
27 Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
“Acunüng, khyanga Capa cun johit la hlüngtainak am khawngmei üng kyum law lü ngdang law khai.
28 But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
“Acun hea tünei law üng, ngdüi u lü han teng u, nami hama küikyannak ng'et law ve,” a ti.
29 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami veia msuimcäpnak pyen be lü, “Fik thing la thing avan jah ngai u;
30 When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
“Hlip law se nami hmuh la khawkhye ng’et lawki ti nami ksingki.
31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
“Acukba bäa nangmi pi acun he awm law u se, nami jah hmu üng, Pamhnama khaw pha law hlüki ni ti ksing ua.
32 I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
“Hina khyang he am thi pha u se, acun he avan pha law khai ti ksing u.
33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
“Khankhaw la mce khyük ni se pi ka ngthu am khyük.
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.
“Acunakyase, a na cäiei u, am acunüng ta ei ngang, aw ngang u lü khawmdek khawhthema phäha nami mlunga bawngkha k'um üng, acuna mhmüp am nami sima pha law sawxat khai ni.
35 For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
“Acuna mhmüp cun ngvaia kba khawmdek avan üng awmkia khyang hea khana pha law khaia kyaki.
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.”
“Acunakyase, kya law khaia khuikhanak üngka naw phyawng u lü khyanga Capaa ma nami ngdüi hlawt khaia anglät se ktaiyü u lü a na k’äih ua,” a ti.
37 Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
Acunüng Jesuh cun amhmüp tä se Temple k'uma jah mthei lü amthan tä se Olip mcung ami tia ktaiyü khaia citki.
38 All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
Angawi tä se a ngthu ngai khai hea khyang avan Temple üng citki he.
