< Luke 21 >

1 Jeshu looked at those rich (persons) who were throwing into the house of treasure their oblations.
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow who threw in two shomonee.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 And he said, Truth I say to you, That this poor widow hath thrown in more than every one:
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 for all those from what abounded to them have thrown into the house of the oblation of Aloha: but this from her penury all that she possessed hath she thrown in.
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5 AND as some spake of the temple, (with) what beautiful stones and gifts it was adorned, Jeshu said to them,
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 These that you see, the days shall come (when) of them there will not be found a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7 And they inquired of him, and said, Malphona, when shall these be? and what is the sign that these are nigh to be?
They asked him, “Rabbi, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 But he said to them, Beware lest you be seduced: for many will come in my name, and will say, I am the Meshicha; and the time hath drawn nigh: but go not you after them.
He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 And when you hear of wars and commotions, fear not: for these are first to be; but not yet cometh the end.
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 and great earthquakes will be in divers places, and famines, and plagues; and there will be portents, and terrors, and great signs from the heavens will appear, and great tempests shall there be.
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 But before all these, they will lay hands upon you, and persecute you, and deliver you up to the synagogues, and to the house of the bound. And they will bring you before kings and governors on account of my name.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 And it shall be to you for a testimony.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 But lay it up in your hearts that you may not be learned for the answer;
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries cannot stand against.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 But your fathers, and your brethren, and your kinsfolk, and your friends will betray you, and some of you they shall put to death.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 And you will be hated of all men on account of my name:
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 yet a hair of your head shall not perish,
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 but in your perseverance you shall possess your souls.
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 But when you see Urishlem encompassed by an army, then know that its destruction hath drawn nigh.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 Then let them who are in Jihud escape to the mountain, and they who are within her escape, and let not them who are in the country places enter into her.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 For those (will be) the days of retribution, that all which is written may be fulfilled.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe to those who are with child and to those who suckle in those days! for there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into every place, and Urishlem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until shall be fulfilled the times of the Gentiles.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and on earth distress of nations, and smiting of hands from astonishment at the voice of the sea,
“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 the commotion hurrying forth the souls of the sons of men from fear of what is about to come upon the earth; and the powers of the heavens shall be commoved.
men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with power and great glory.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 But when these things begin to be, take courage, and lift up your heads, because your redemption hath drawn nigh.
But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 AND he spake to them a parable, Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30 when they bud forth, immediately from them you know that summer hath drawn nigh.
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 Thus also you, when you see that these are, know that nigh is the kingdom of Aloha.
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 Amen I say to you, That this race shall not pass away till all these things shall be.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 But take heed to yourselves, that at any time your hearts be not heavy with excess and drunkenness, and the care of the world, and unawares shall come upon you that day.
“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35 For as a net it will overtake all them who dwell upon the faces of the whole earth.
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Be therefore wakeful at all time, and pray that you may be worthy to escape from those things that are about to be, and that you may stand before the Son of man.
Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 So in the day (time) he taught in the temple, and at night he went forth and lodged in the mount which is called the Place of Olives.
Every day Yeshua was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 And all the people were early with him at the temple to hear his word.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
