Luke 21
1 Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
Jezi pwonmennen je l' toupatou nan tanp lan, epi li wè moun rich yo ki t'ap mete lajan nan bwat kote yo mete ofrann nan tanp lan.
2 He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
Li wè yon pòv vèv tou ki t'ap mete de ti kòb kwiv.
3 “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
Li di: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: pòv vèv sa a bay plis pase tout lòt moun yo.
4 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
Paske, tout moun sa yo, se sa yo pa bezwen yo mete nan bwat la; men li menm, nan tout mizè li, li bay tou sa l' te gen pou l' viv.
5 Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
Te gen kèk moun ki t'ap pale sou tanp lan; yo t'ap di jan li te byen dekore avèk bèl wòch li yo ansanm ak tout bèl bagay moun te ofri bay Bondye. Lè sa a, Jezi di:
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!”
Nou wè tout bagay sa yo, yon jou, p'ap gen de wòch k'ap kanpe yonn sou lòt. Tou sa pral kraze nèt vide atè.
7 “Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Yo mande li: Mèt, kilè sa va rive? Kisa ki va fè nou konnen lè tout bagay sa yo prèt pou rive?
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.
Jezi di yo: Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou. Paske, plizyè moun va vin sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la, ou ankò jou a rive! Pa koute yo.
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.
Lè n'a pran nouvèl lagè ak revolisyon k'ap fèt, nou pa bezwen pè. Fòk bagay sa yo rive anvan. Men, se p'ap ankò lafen an sa.
10 Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
Li di yo ankò: Yon pèp va goumen ak yon lòt pèp; yon peyi va atake yon lòt peyi.
11 “There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
Va gen gwo tranblemanntè. Nan divès kote va gen grangou ak epidemi. Lè sa a, va gen bagay terib ak gwo kokenn chenn siy k'ap parèt nan syèl la.
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.
Men anvan tou sa, y'ap arete nou, y'ap maltrete nou; y'ap trennen nou nan sinagòg pou yo jije nou; y'ap mete nou nan prizon, y'ap fè nou konparèt devan wa ak chèf gouvènman poutèt mwen.
13 But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
Se va yon bèl okazyon pou nou kanpe pale verite a.
14 So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
Mete sa byen nan tèt nou: nou pa bezwen bat tèt nou pou nou konnen davans ki jan nou pral fè defans nou.
15 for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
Se mwen menm ki va mete pawòl nan bouch nou, ki va ban nou konprann. Konsa, nan moun ki nan kont avèk nou yo, yo yonn p'ap ka kenbe tèt ak nou, ni yo p'ap kapab demanti sa n'a di.
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
Lè sa a, se papa nou ak manman nou, frè nou, pwòp fanmi nou ak bon zanmi nou ki va denonse nou, y'ap fè touye anpil nan nou.
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen.
18 But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
Men, pa yon grenn cheve nan tèt nou p'ap pèdi.
19 By standing firm you will gain your lives.
Kenbe fèm, se konsa n'a sove lavi nou.
20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
Lè n'a wè yon bann lame ap sènen lavil Jerizalèm toupatou, n'a konnen lè sa a yo prèt pou kraze l' nèt.
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.
Wi, lè sa a tout moun ki nan peyi Jide, se sove al nan mòn; moun ki nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, se kouri met deyò. Moun ki nan jaden p'ap bezwen antre lavil.
22 For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
Jou sa yo, se va Jou Chatiman, lè tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv la pral rive.
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.
Lè sa a, se p'ap ti lapenn pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo, paske va gen yon gwo dezolasyon nan peyi a: kòlè Bondye pral tonbe sou pèp sa a.
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.
Y'ap touye yo ak nepe, y'ap mete men sou yo, y'ap depòte yo nan tout lòt peyi. Pou lavil Jerizalèm lan menm, moun lòt nasyon yo gen pou yo foule l' anba pye yo, jouk tan dèle yo ba yo a va bout.
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.
Gen siy ki pou parèt nan solèy, nan lalin ak nan zetwal yo. Sou latè menm, tout pèp yo pral pran tranble, yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè devan gwo bri lanmè a ap fè ak lanm li yo.
26 People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Gen moun k'ap mouri tèlman y'ap pè lè y'a chonje malè ki pral rive sou tout latè, paske pouvwa ki nan syèl yo va tranble.
27 Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Lè sa a, y'a wè m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, ap vini nan yon nwaj, avèk anpil pouvwa, nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay.
28 But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
Lè bagay sa yo va kòmanse rive, leve kanpe, leve tèt nou, paske Bondye p'ap lwen vin delivre nou.
29 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
Epi Jezi di yo yon parabòl: Gade pye fig frans lan ak tout lòt pyebwa yo.
30 When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
Lè nou wè yo kòmanse ap boujonnen, nou tou konnen lete sou nou.
31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
Menm jan an tou, lè n'a wè bagay sa yo rive, nou mèt konnen Gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a toupre.
32 I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: gen moun k'ap viv koulye a ki p'ap gen tan mouri anvan tout bagay sa yo rive.
33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen yo p'ap janm pase.
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.
Pran prekosyon nou, pa kite banbòch, bweson ak traka lavi sa a chaje tèt nou pou jou a pa rive sou nou lè n' pa ta kwè.
35 For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
Paske, jou sa a ap tonbe tankou yon privye sou tout moun ki rete sou latè.
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.”
Pa kite dòmi pran nou, lapriyè tout tan; konsa n'a gen fòs pou n' chape anba tou sa ki gen pou rive, pou n' ka kanpe dwat devan Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
37 Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
Tout lajounen Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Men, lè solèy fin kouche, li te konn soti al pase nwit sou mòn Oliv la.
38 All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
Chak maten, byen bonè, tout pèp la te konn al jwenn li nan tanp lan pou tande sa l' t'ap di.
