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 farthings into them.
ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
3 On this he said: “I tell you 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 every one else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live upon.”
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 upon another here, which will not 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 be? 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 απαντων 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 relations and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
17 and you will be hated by every one on account of my Name.
και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
18 Yet not a single hair of your heads shall be lost!
και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
19 By your endurance you shall 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 πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
23 Alas for the women that are with child, and for those that 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 shall 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 Men’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 thus — “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 till 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 lest your minds should ever be dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and lest ‘That Day’ should come suddenly upon you, like a snare.
προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρυνθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
35 For come it will upon 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 ταυτα 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
