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].
OR [Gesù], riguardando, vide i ricchi che gettavano i lor doni nella cassa delle offerte.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
Vide ancora una vedova poveretta, la qual vi gettava due piccioli.
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.”
E disse: Io vi dico in verità, che questa povera vedova ha gettato più di tutti gli altri.
Perciocchè tutti costoro hanno gettato nelle offerte di Dio di ciò che soprabbonda loro; ma costei [vi] ha gettato della sua inopia, tutta la sostanza ch'ella avea.
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,
POI appresso, dicendo alcuni del tempio, ch'esso era adorno di belle pietre, e d'offerte, egli disse:
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.”
Quant'è a queste cose che voi riguardate, verranno i giorni, che non sarà lasciata pietra sopra pietra che non sia diroccata.
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?”
Ed essi lo domandarono, dicendo: Maestro, quando avverranno dunque queste cose? e qual [sarà] il segno del tempo, nel qual queste cose devono avvenire?
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]
Ed egli disse: Guardate che non siate sedotti; perciocchè molti verranno sotto il mio nome, dicendo: Io son [desso]; e: Il tempo è giunto. Non andate adunque dietro a loro.
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!”
Ora, quando udirete guerre, e turbamenti, non siate spaventati; perciocchè conviene che queste cose avvengano prima; ma non però subito [appresso sarà] la fine.
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Allora disse loro: Una gente si leverà contro all'altra gente, ed un regno contro all'altro.
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.
E in ogni luogo vi saranno gran tremoti, e fami, e pestilenze; vi saranno eziandio de' prodigi spaventevoli, e dei gran segni dal cielo.
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].
Ma, avanti tutte queste cose, metteranno le mani sopra voi, e [vi] perseguiranno, dando[vi] in man delle raunanze, e mettendo[vi] in prigione; traendo[vi] ai re, ed a' rettori, per lo mio nome.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Ma ciò vi riuscirà in testimonianza.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Mettetevi adunque in cuore di non premeditar come risponderete a vostra difesa.
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).
Perciocchè io vi darò bocca, e sapienza, alla quale non potranno contradire, nè contrastare tutti i vostri avversari.
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.
Or voi sarete traditi, eziandio da padri, e da madri, e da fratelli, e da parenti, e da amici; e ne faran morir di voi.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
E sarete odiati da tutti per lo mio nome.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Ma pure un capello del vostro capo non perirà.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
Possederete le anime vostre per la vostra pazienza.
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]}.
ORA, quando vedrete Gerusalemme circondata d'eserciti, sappiate che allora la sua distruzione è vicina.
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].
Allora coloro che [saranno] nella Giudea fuggano a' monti; e coloro che [saranno] dentro d'essa dipartansi; e coloro che [saranno] su per li campi non entrino in essa.
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].
Perciocchè que' [giorni] saranno giorni di vendetta; acciocchè tutte le cose che sono scritte sieno adempiute.
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].
Ora, guai alle gravide, ed a quelle che latteranno a que' dì! perciocchè vi sarà gran distretta nel paese, ed ira sopra questo popolo.
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.”
E caderanno per lo taglio della spada, e saranno menati in cattività fra tutte le genti; e Gerusalemme sarà calpestata da' Gentili, finchè i tempi de' Gentili sieno compiuti.
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.
POI appresso, vi saranno segni nel sole, e nella luna, e nelle stelle; e in terra, angoscia delle genti con ismarrimento; rimbombando il mare e il fiotto;
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}.
gli uomini, spasimando di paura, e d'aspettazion delle cose che sopraggiungeranno al mondo; perciocchè le potenze de' cieli saranno scrollate.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Ed allora vedranno il Figliuol dell'uomo venire in una nuvola, con potenza, e gran gloria.
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].”
Ora, quando queste cose cominceranno ad avvenire, riguardate ad alto, e alzate le vostre teste; perciocchè la vostra redenzione è vicina.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
E disse loro una similitudine: Riguardate il fico, e tutti gli alberi.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Quando già hanno germogliato, voi, veggendolo, riconoscete da voi stessi che già la state è vicina.
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.
Così ancora voi, quando vedrete avvenir queste cose, sappiate che il regno di Dio è vicino.
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.
Io vi dico in verità, che questa età non passerà, finchè tutte [queste] cose non sieno avvenute.
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.”
Il cielo e la terra passeranno; ma le mie parole non passeranno.
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].
OR guardatevi, che talora i vostri cuori non sieno aggravati d'ingordigia, nè d'ebbrezza, nè delle sollecitudini di questa vita; e che quel giorno di subito improvviso non vi sopravvenga.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Perciocchè, a guisa di laccio, egli sopraggiungerà a tutti coloro che abitano sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
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.”
Vegliate adunque, orando in ogni tempo, acciocchè siate reputati degni di scampar tutte le cose che devono avvenire; e di comparire davanti al Figliuol dell'uomo.
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.
Or di giorno egli insegnava nel tempio, e le notti, uscito fuori, dimorava in sul monte detto degli Ulivi.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
E tutto il popolo, la mattina a buon'ora, veniva a lui, nel tempio, per udirlo.
