Luke 21
1 [Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
Jesu nɔnli ya ŋalmandanba n kpieni i ligi ku jaanaddiegu nni,
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
ke o lá pakuatalgi mɔ ke o cua ki kpieni i ligi dibala lie.
3 He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
Lani, ke o maadi: ... Mɔmɔni po, n maadi yi, pakuatagi ne n kpieni ya ligi yabi ki cie yua kuli,
kelima bi kuli ne kpieni ban ki bua yi i. Ama, wan gbegdi o piama kuli i, ki kpieni.
5 Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
Bi tɔba den maadi ku jaanddiegu po: “Tinba n den maa gu leni a tanŋana, ki teni i ligi ke bi maa gu. Lani n tie bonŋancianla” Jesu maadi ba:
6 “[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
U yogu cuoni na, yin nua yaala ne kuli ba bolni; tanli bá ti kan ya maa li lieli po.
7 [Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
... Lani, ke bi bo buali o, Canbáa, u laa yogu i ke li bona ba tieni? Be n ti ba waani ti, ke li bona ba tieni i?
8 He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
Jesu maadi ba: ... Yin faami, yin da cedi ban kuani yi mi tudma nni. Kelima, boncianla ba cua n yeli po, ki maadi: “Mini n tie O Tondo!” lan yaa ka: “U yogu pundi o!” Yin da cegi ba!
9 Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
Yi ya ti gbadi ke tɔbu pua, ke a kɔnkɔna kɔni, yin da jie. Kelima li bona kuli dá ba cindi ki cua yo ŋanduna gbenma n fidi ki cua.
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Lani ke o gɔ bo maadi: ... U dogu ti ba fii ki pua dogtɔu bu tɔbu. Diema mɔ n fii ki pua dietɔma bu tɔbu.
11 There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
Ki tinga ti ba migi i dogi nni; mi koma leni i yiani ba baa i dogi nni; ya bona n pia ti jawaandi leni ku yaalidgu ba tieni tanpoli po.
12 But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
Yeni li kuli ne n ti fidi ki tieni, bi ba cuo yi ki waani yi fala, ki gedi leni yi ki teni suifinba jaanddiedi yikodanba kani ke ban luoni yi dansalgi. n ya bi ba gedi yi bi badba kani leni leni dogdanba kani.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Li bona ti ba cua yi, ke yin kuni i mɔmɔni n po.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Lan wan ii, yin ya pia ti dudugdi paaa: Yinb ka ba kɔni yibá po.
15 because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
Ama, mini puni mi mabanma yi maadi ki paadi i yibalinba, ki gɔ puni ya yanfuoma ke obá kan fidi yi.
16 [And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
Yi danba, yi ninjanba, yi kpiiba leni yi dɔnlinba mɔno ba cedi ban cuo yi, ki kpa bitɔba i siiga.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
Obá ti kan ya bua i nublu kelima n ya po.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Ama, i yuli po bá yuyengu kan bia.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
I ya pia li mindli, i ba baa U Tienu ŋalbalgo.
20 “But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
... Ya yogu ke i ba lá yibalinba sijenba ke bi kaalindi Jerisalemi, yin ya bani o mudma nagi.
21 At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
Lan wan ii, Jude dotieba ń sani ki do a juana nni, yaaba n y Jerusalemi dogu nni ń bobni tonma ki ña. Yaaba ye i kuani nni ń da kpeni u dogu nni!
22 [You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
Kelima, li dana tie U Tienu mutuoli dana yia nni ke i diani n yedi yaala ba tieni.
23 [I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
Li dana nni, fala ba gbadi a potunpunba leni bi pomadinba! Kelima U Tienu mutuoli ba lagi li niba po.
24 Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
Bi ba kpa li dogu nni niba leni li kadmanli lan yaa ka ki taa bitɔba ki puodi leni ba i doglami po, ki bi nilanba yaaba ki bani U Tienu ń diedi Jerusalemi ya caa leni ya yogu ke bi paalu po ba pendi.
25 “There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
... Ku yaalidgu bona ba tieni u yienu nni, o ŋmaalo nni leni a ŋmaabila nni. Ki tinga po, li mɔgli ba do leni ti jadi, bi niba n jie ki tadi.
26 People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
Ti jawaandi ba kpa bi niba gbanu, bi ya maali ya yubɔnli n ba cua ŋanduna munli po. Kelima yaala n ye tanpoli po kuli ki pia paalu ba jegi.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Lani, ke bi ba lá O nusaalo bijua ke o ye ti tawalgbandi nni ki cuoni leni o paacianu leni ti yudandi.
28 So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
Ya yogu ke li bona cindi ki tiendi, yin yaadi i yuli, ki ya pia li juunli kelima i faabu dana ji ki fagi.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Ke o pugni ya manannangu ne: ... Diidi man bu kankanbu, lan yaa ka titɔbu.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Ti ya lá ke bu puugu cindi ki pudi, ti nani ke ku siagu nagi.
31 Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
Yeni mɔ i, i ya lá ke li bona ti tiendi, yin bandi nani ke U Tienu diema nagi.
32 Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Mɔmɔni po, n maadi lan kuli ne ba tieni ke mɔlane niba yaaba n ye ne, ke nitɔba da ki kpe.
33 [You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
Ki tinga leni tanpoli ba pendi, ama n ñɔbona ki pia pendma.
34 “But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
Cuo man yibá, da taa man yi yula kuni mi jiema leni mi daama, ki gɔ da cagni yibá ŋanduna ne yenyienu po. Lan yaa ka li daagbengli ba cua ki cii yi.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Kelima, li ba baa nani ku jabaangu yeni ŋanduna niba kuli po.
36 So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
Yin da gɔa man, ki ya jaandi yogu kuli ke U Tienu n puni yi u paalu ke yin fidi ki ña ya yubɔnli n cuoni nni, ki sedi o nufosaalo bijua nunga nni.
37 Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
Jesu bo taa o yentuna kuli tundi bi niba ku jaanddiegu nni; ku ñiagu wan gedi ki duani Oliifi tiidi juali po.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
Ku siŋaapanpangu kuli, bi bo yen tigdi ku jaanddiegu nni ki ya cengi o
