Luke 21
1 Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
Mme ya re a ema mo Tempeleng a bo a lebeletse bahumi thata fa ba tsenya dineo tsa bone mo letloleng.
2 He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
Mme mohumanegi wa motlholagadi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
3 “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
Mme Jesu a re, “Ammaaruri motlholagadi yo wa mohumanegi o ntshitse mo go tona go gaisa ga ba ba ntshitseng gotlhe go kopantswe.
4 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
Gonne ba ntshitse bonnye jwa se ba sa se tlhokeng, mme ene ka fa khumanegong ya gagwe o ntshitse gotlhe mo o neng a na le gone.”
5 Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
Bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba simolola go bua kaga bontle jwa maje a a kgabisitseng Tempele le mekgabisa ya segopotso mo dipoteng.
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!”
Mme Jesu a re, “Lobaka lo e tla lo dilo tse tsotlhe tse di lo kgatlhang di tlaa digelwang fa fatshe, mme ga go leje lepe le le tlaa tlogelwang le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe; gotlhe go tlaa nna mokoa o le mongwe fela wa matlakala.”
7 “Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Mme ba goa ba re, “Morena! mo go tlaa diragala leng? A go tlaa nna le tlhagiso nngwe pele ga nako ya go diragala?”
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.
Mme a fetola a re, “Lo se lese ope go lo timetsa. Gonne ba le bantsi ba tlaa tla ba ipolela fa e le bo-Mesia, ba re, ‘Nako e gorogile’ mme lo se ka lwa ba dumela!”
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.
“Mme e re fa lo utlwela dintwa le dipheretlhego di simologa, lo se ka lwa tshoga. Dintwa tsa boammaaruri di tshwanetse go tla mme bokhutlo ga bo kitla bo tla ka bonako,
10 Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
gonne chaba e tlaa tsogologela chaba e nngwe le bogosi bo tlaa tsogologela jo bongwe,
11 “There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
mme go tlaa nna dithoromo tse dikgolo tsa lefatshe le mauba mo mafatsheng a le mantsi, le maroborobo le dipoitshego tse di diregang mo magodimong.
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.
“Mme pele ga mo gotlhe go diragala; go tlaa nna le paka ya dipogiso, lo tlaa gogelwa mo disenagogeng mo dikgolegelong le fa pele ga dikgosi le balaodi ka ntlha ya Leina la Me.
13 But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
“Mme ka ntlha ya gone moo, Mesia o tlaa itsege ka bophara a bo a tlotlwa.
14 So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
Jalo, lo se tshwenyege ka gore lo tlaa ikarabela jang,
15 for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
gonne ke tlaa lo naya mafoko a a tshwanetseng le botlhale mo e leng gore baganetsi ba lona ga ba kitla ba lo fetola!
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
Le e leng ba ga lona tota, batsadi ba lona, bomorwa-rraalona, ba lo tsalwang nabo ditsala tsa lona di tlaa lo oka gore lo tshwarwe; mme bangwe ba lona ba tlaa bolawa.
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
“Mme batho botlhe ba tlaa lo ila ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me e bile lo bidiwa ka Leina la Me.
18 But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
Mme le fa e le thiri ya tlhogo ya lona ga e kitla e nyelela!
19 By standing firm you will gain your lives.
Gonne fa lo eme ka tlhomamo, lo tlaa boloka mewa ya lona.
20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
“Mme fa lo bona Jerusalema a dikaganyeditswe ke dintwa, ke gone lo tlaa itseng gore nako ya tshenyego e gorogile.
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.
Hong lesang batho ba Judea ba tshabele kwa dithabeng. Lesang ba ba mo Jerusalema ba leke go falola, mme ba ba kwa ntle ga motse ba se ka ba leka go boa.
22 For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
Gonne ao e tlaa bo e le malatsi a katlholo ya Modimo, le mafoko a dikwalo tsa bogologolo a a kwadilweng ke baporofiti a tlaa diragala ka botlalo.
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.
“Mme a bo go tlaa latlhega bomme ba baimana mo malatsing ao, le ba ba nang le masea. Gonne go tlaa nna pitlagano e kgolo mo chabeng e le bogale mo bathong ba.
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.
“Ba tlaa bolawa polao e e setlhogo ka ditlha-bani tsa mmaba, kgotsa ba isiwe jaaka bafaladi le ditshwara mo dichabeng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe; mme Jerusalema o tlaa fenngwa a gatakwa ke Badi-chaba go fitlhelela nako ya phenyo ya Badi-chaba e khutla mo lobakeng lwa Modimo.
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.
“Mme go tlaa nna le ditiragalo tse di sa tlwaelesegang mo loaping, ditlhagiso le botlhodi jo bo maswe mo letsatsing, ngwedi le dinaledi, le mono lefatsheng dichaba di tlaa nna mo pheretlhegong le mo tlalelong e kgolo ka ntlha ya modumo wa mawatle le makhubu a a sa tlwaelesegang.
26 People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Bopelo-kgale jwa batho ba le bantsi bo tlaa reketla ka ntlha ya tiragalo e ba e bonang e tla mo lefatsheng, gonne dinonofo tsa magodimo di tlaa thubaganngwa.
27 Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Mme batho ba lefatshe ba tlaa mpona nna Mesia, ke tla mo lerung ka nonofo le kgalalelo e kgolo.
28 But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
Mme e tlaa re fa dilo tse tsotlhe di simologa go diragala, lo eme lo tlhamalale lo lebe kwa godimo! gonne poloko ya lona e gaufi.”
29 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
Mme a ba fa setshwantsho se: “Lepang setlhare sa mofeige kgotsa setlhare sengwe fela.
30 When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
Fa matlhare a tlhoga, lo itse lo sa bolelelwa gore selemo se gaufi.
31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
Fela jalo fa lo bona ditiragalo tse ke di lo tlhaloseditseng di diragala lo tlhomamise gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo gaufi.
32 I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
“Ke lo tlhomamisetsa gore fa dilo tse di diragala, bokhutlo jwa motlha ono bo tlaa bo bo gorogile.
33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
Legodimo le lefatshe di tlaa feta, le fa go ntse jalo mafoko a me a eme mo boammaaruring ka bosakhutleng.
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.
“Itiseng! Lo se letle gore go tla ga me ka tshoganetso go lo fitlhele lo sa ipaakanya. Ke se ka ka lo fitlhela lo iketlile mo boatleng, kgotsa mo medirong ya botlhapelwa, lo gapilwe ke matshwenyego a botshelo jo, jaaka mo lefatsheng lotlhe.
35 For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
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.”
Lo lebeleleng ka metlha yotlhe. Lo rapele gore e re fa go kgonega lo tle fa pele ga me lo ise lo bone dikhuduego tse.”
37 Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
Letsatsi le letsatsi Jesu o ne a ya kwa Tempeleng go ya go ruta, mme bontsi jwa batho ba phuthega go sa le mo mosong go ya go mo reetsa. Mme mo maabanyaneng mangwe le mangwe o ne a tle a boele kwa Thoteng ya Lotlhware go ya go lala teng.
38 All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
