< Luke 21 >

1 And, looking up, he saw the, rich, who were casting their gifts into the treasury, —
And he biheeld, and saye tho riche men, that casten her yiftis in to the treserie;
2 and he saw a certain poor widow, casting in thither two mites;
but he saye also a litil pore widewe castynge twei ferthingis.
3 and he said—Of a truth, I say unto you—This destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in;
And he seide, Treuli Y seie to you, that this pore widewe keste more than alle men.
4 For, all these, out of their superfluity, have cast in among the gifts, but, she, out of her deficiency, all the living that she had, hath cast in.
For whi alle these of thing that was plenteuouse to hem casten in to the yiftis of God; but this widewe of that thing that failide to hir, caste al hir liflode, that sche hadde.
5 And, certain saying, of the temple—With beautiful stones and offerings, hath it been adorned! he said—
And whanne sum men seiden of the temple, that it was apparailid with gode stoonus and yiftis,
6 As to these things, which ye are looking upon, There will come days, in which there will not be left here, stone upon stone, which will not be taken down.
he seide, These thingis that ye seen, daies schulen come, in whiche a stoon schal not be left on a stoon, which schal not be destried.
7 And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! when, therefore, will these things be? And, what the sign, when these things shall be about to come to pass?
And thei axiden hym, and seiden, Comaundour, whanne schulen these thingis be? and what tokne schal be, whanne thei schulen bigynne to be don?
8 And, he, said—Be taking heed ye be not deceived; for, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am he, —and—The season, hath drawn near! Do not go after them.
And he seide, Se ye, that ye be not disseyued; for many schulen come in my name, seiynge, For Y am, and the tyme schal neiye; therfor nyle ye go aftir hem.
9 But, whensoever ye shall hear of wars and revolutions, be not terrified, —for these things, must needs, come to pass first, but, not immediately, is the end.
And whanne ye schulen here batailis and stryues with ynne, nyle ye be aferd; it bihoueth first these thingis to be don, but not yit anoon is an ende.
10 Then, said he unto them—There will rise up, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
Thanne he seide to hem, Folk schal rise ayens folk, and rewme ayens rewme;
11 As well great earthquakes, as also, in places, pestilences and famines, will there be, as well objects of terror, as also, from heaven, great signs, will there be.
grete mouyngis of erthe schulen be bi placis, and pestilencis, and hungris, and dredis fro heuene, and grete tokenes schulen be.
12 And before, all these things, they will thrust upon you their hands, and persecute you, delivering you up into the synagogues and prisons, —when ye have been led away before kings and governors, for the sake of my name;
But bifore alle these thingis thei schulen sette her hoondis on you, and schulen pursue, bitakynge in to synagogis and kepyngis, drawynge to kyngis and to iusticis, for my name;
13 But it shall turn out to you for a witness.
but it schal falle to you in to witnessyng.
14 Settle, then, in your hearts, not to be studying beforehand, how to make defense;
Therfor putte ye in youre hertis, not to thenke bifore, hou ye schulen answere; for Y schal yyue to you mouth and wisdom,
15 For, I, will give you a mouth and wisdom, which one-and-all who are setting themselves against, you shall be unable to withstand or gainsay.
to whiche alle youre aduersaries schulen not mowe ayenstonde, and ayenseie.
16 But ye will be delivered up, even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends, and they will put to death some from among you;
And ye schulen be takun of fadir, and modir, and britheren, and cosyns, and freendis, and bi deeth thei schulen turmente of you;
17 And ye will be hated by all, because of my name:
and ye schulen be in haate to alle men for my name.
18 And, a hair of your head, in nowise shall perish, —
And an heere of youre heed schal not perische;
19 By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.
in youre pacience ye schulen welde youre soulis.
20 But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn near.
But whanne ye schulen se Jerusalem ben enuyround with an oost, thanne wite ye, that the desolacioun of it schal neiye.
21 Then they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth, —and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her;
Thanne thei that ben in Judee, fle to the mountans; and thei that ben in the mydil of it, gon awei; and thei that ben in the cuntreis, entre not in to it.
22 For, days of avenging, are, these, for all the things written to be fulfilled.
For these ben daies of veniaunce, that alle thingis that ben writun, be fulfillid.
23 Alas! for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and anger against this people.
And wo to hem, that ben with child, and norischen in tho daies; for a greet diseese schal be on the erthe, and wraththe to this puple.
24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive into all the nations, and, Jerusalem, shall be trodden down by the nations, until the seasons of the nations shall be fulfilled [and shall be].
And thei schulen falle bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and thei schulen be led prisoneris in to alle folkis; and Jerusalem schal be defoulid of hethene men, til the tymes of naciouns be fulfillid.
25 And there will he signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and, on the earth, anguish of nations in embarrassment—sea and surge resounding, —
And tokenes schulen be in the sunne, and the mone, and in the sterris; and in the erthe ouerleiyng of folkis, for confusioun of sown of the see and of floodis;
26 Men fainting, from fear and expectation of the things overtaking the inhabited earth. For, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken.
for men schulen wexe drye for drede and abidyng that schulen come to al the world; for vertues of heuenes schulen be mouyd.
27 And, then, will they see the Son of Man—coming in a cloud, with great power and glory.
And thanne thei schulen se mannys sone comynge in a cloude, with greet power and maieste.
28 And, when these things are beginning to come to pass, unbend and lift up your heads, because that, your redemption, is drawing near.
And whanne these thingis bigynnen to be maad, biholde ye, and reise ye youre heedis, for youre redempcioun neiyeth.
29 And he spake a parable unto them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees, —
And he seide to hem a liknesse, Se ye the fige tre, and alle trees,
30 Whensoever they have already budded, seeing it, of yourselves, ye observe that, already near, is, the summer:
whanne thei bryngen forth now of hem silf fruyt, ye witen that somer is nyy;
31 Thus, ye also, whensoever ye shall see, these, things coming to pass, observe ye, that, near, is the kingdom of God!
so ye, whanne ye seen these thingis to be don, wite ye, that the kyngdom of God is nyy.
32 Verily, I say unto you—In nowise shall this generation pass away, until, all things, shall happen:
Treuli Y seie to you, that this generacioun schal not passe, til alle thingis be don.
33 Heaven and earth, will pass away, but, my word, in nowise will pass away.
Heuene and erthe schulen passe, but my wordis schulen not passe.
34 But be taking heed unto yourselves, lest once your hearts be made heavy—with debauch and drunkenness and anxieties about livelihood, and that day come upon you suddenly,
But take ye heede to you silf, lest perauenture youre hertis be greuyd with glotony, and drunkenesse, and bisynessis of this lijf, and thilke dai come sodein on you; for as a snare it schal come on alle men,
35 as a snare, —For it will come in by surprise, upon all them that are dwelling on the face of all the earth.
that sitten on the face of al erthe.
36 But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.
Therfor wake ye, preiynge in ech tyme, that ye be hadde worthi to fle alle these thingis that ben to come, and to stonde bifor mannus sone.
37 And he was, by day, in the temple, teaching; but, by night, going forth, he was lodging in the mount which is called the Mount of Olives.
And in daies he was techynge in the temple, but in nyytis he yede out, and dwellide in the mount, that is clepid of Olyuet.
38 And, all the people, were coming at day-break unto him, in the temple, to be hearkening unto him.
And al the puple roos eerli, to come to hym in the temple, and to here hym.
