Luke 21
1 Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
αναβλεψασ δε ειδεν τουσ βαλλοντασ τα δωρα αυτων εισ το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιουσ
2 He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
ειδεν δε τινα και χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
3 ‘I tell you’, he said ‘that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
και ειπεν αληθωσ λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
4 for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.’
απαντεσ γαρ ουτοι εκ του περισσευοντοσ αυτοισ εβαλον εισ τα δωρα του θεου αυτη δε εκ του υστερηματοσ αυτησ απαντα τον βιον ον ειχεν εβαλεν
5 When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοισ καλοισ και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
6 ‘As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.’
ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αισ ουκ αφεθησεται λιθοσ επι λιθω οσ ου καταλυθησεται
7 So the disciples questioned Jesus, ‘But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?’
επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
8 And Jesus said, ‘See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying “I am He,” and “The time is close at hand.” Do not follow them.
ο δε ειπεν βλεπετε μη πλανηθητε πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντεσ οτι εγω ειμι και ο καιροσ ηγγικεν μη ουν πορευθητε οπισω αυτων
9 And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.’
οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμουσ και ακαταστασιασ μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεωσ το τελοσ
10 Then he said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
τοτε ελεγεν αυτοισ εγερθησεται εθνοσ επι εθνοσ και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
11 and there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι κατα τοπουσ και λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και σημεια απ ουρανου μεγαλα εσται
12 Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
προ δε τουτων παντων επιβαλουσιν εφ υμασ τασ χειρασ αυτων και διωξουσιν παραδιδοντεσ εισ συναγωγασ και φυλακασ αγομενουσ επι βασιλεισ και ηγεμονασ ενεκεν του ονοματοσ μου
13 Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
αποβησεται δε υμιν εισ μαρτυριον
14 Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defence;
θεσθε ουν εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
15 for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντεσ οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και συγγενων και φιλων και αδελφων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
17 and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
18 Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
και θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ υμων ου μη αποληται
19 By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τασ ψυχασ υμων
20 As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσισ αυτησ
21 Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εισ τα ορη και οι εν μεσω αυτησ εκχωρειτωσαν και οι εν ταισ χωραισ μη εισερχεσθωσαν εισ αυτην
22 For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
οτι ημεραι εκδικησεωσ αυται εισιν του πλησθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
23 Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
ουαι δε ταισ εν γαστρι εχουσαισ και ταισ θηλαζουσαισ εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισ εσται γαρ αναγκη μεγαλη επι τησ γησ και οργη εν τω λαω τουτω
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles, until their day is over – as it will be.
και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρασ και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εισ παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
25 There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροισ και επι τησ γησ συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσησ θαλασσησ και σαλου
26 People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιασ των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεισ των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
27 Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεωσ και δοξησ πολλησ
28 And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.’
αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τασ κεφαλασ υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσισ υμων
29 Then he taught them a lesson, saying – ‘Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοισ ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
30 As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντεσ αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυσ το θεροσ εστιν
31 And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
ουτωσ και υμεισ οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυσ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
32 I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εωσ αν παντα γενηται
33 The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
ο ουρανοσ και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
34 Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and “that day” will close on you suddenly like a trap.
προσεχετε δε εαυτοισ μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναισ βιωτικαισ και αιφνιδιοσ εφ υμασ επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
35 For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
ωσ παγισ γαρ επελευσεται επι παντασ τουσ καθημενουσ επι προσωπον πασησ τησ γησ
36 Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.’
αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
37 During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the “Mount of Olives.”
ην δε τασ ημερασ εν τω ιερω διδασκων τασ δε νυκτασ εξερχομενοσ ηυλιζετο εισ το οροσ το καλουμενον ελαιων
38 And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
και πασ ο λαοσ ωρθριζεν προσ αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
