< Luke 21 >

1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
Esi Yesu nɔ tsitre ɖe gbedoxɔ la me la, enɔ ŋku lém ɖe ale si kesinɔtɔwo le woƒe nunanawo dam ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me ŋu.
2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
Ke ekpɔ ahosi dahe aɖe hã va, eye wòda pesewa eve ko ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me.
3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
Yesu kpɔe dũu, eye wògblɔ be, “Mele egblɔm na mi nyateƒetɔe be ahosi dahe sia ƒe nunana sɔ gbɔ sãa wu nunalawo katã ƒe nunana.
4 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.”
Elabena nenem ƒe ame siawo katã ƒe nunana la nye nu si wozã wòsusɔ la, ke ahosi dahe sia ya na nu si ŋu wòle be wòanɔ agbe ɖo la.”
5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo nɔ nu ƒom le atsyɔ̃ gã si woɖo na gbedoxɔ la kple kpe nyuiwo ŋuti. Wokpɔ ŋudzedze le akpedanunana vovovo siwo ŋuti wokɔ hetsi wo ɖe gliawo ŋu la ŋu ŋutɔ.
6 “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.”
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Ɣeyiɣi aɖe li gbɔna esime woagbã nu siwo kafum miele la. Woagbãe ale gbegbe be kpe ɖeka pɛ hã magasusɔ ɖe nɔvia dzi o. Woatu asi nu sia nu aƒu anyi.”
7 They asked him, “Rabbi, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Wo katã wodo ɣli biae be, “Aƒetɔ! Ɣe ka ɣi nu siawo ava eme? Dzesi kae ado ŋgɔ na nu siawo?”
8 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.
Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mikpɔ nyuie be woagaflu mi o! Elabena ame geɖewo ava le nye ŋkɔ la dzi agblɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi’ eye ‘Ɣeyiɣi la ɖo vɔ.’ Migadze wo yome o.
9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
Eye ne miese be aʋa dzɔ, eye ʋunyaʋunyawo hã dze egɔme la, dzidzi megaƒo mi o. Nyateƒe ele be nu siawo nava me gbã, gake nuwuwua mava enumake o.
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Elabena dukɔ atsi tsitre ɖe dukɔ ŋu, eye fiaɖuƒe akpe akɔ kple fiaɖuƒe.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Anyigba aʋuʋu sesĩe le teƒewo, eye dɔ ato vevie le teƒe bubuwo hã. Dɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo akaka ɖe xexea me, eye nu dziŋɔ kple dzesi gãwo latso dziƒo.
12 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.
“Gake hafi nu siawo katã nava dzɔ la, woaɖo asi mia dzi, eye woawɔ fu mi. Woahe mi ayi woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo kple gaxɔwo me, woakplɔ mi ayi ʋɔnui le fiawo kple mɔmefia gãwo gbɔe. Woawɔ esiawo katã ɖe mia ŋu le tanye.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
Nu siawo anye mɔnukpɔkpɔ tɔxɛ na mi be miaɖi ɖase le ŋunye na wo.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
Eya ta migatsi dzi le ale si miawɔ aʋli mia ɖokuiwo ta nenye be wotsɔ nya ɖe mia ŋu la ŋu o,
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
elabena mana nunya mi, eye made nya siwo katã miagblɔ la nu me na mi, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe nu siwo miagblɔ la ŋu o.
16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
Azɔ ame siwo nye miawo ŋutɔ ŋutimewo, abe mia dzilawo, nɔviŋutsuwo, nɔvinyɔnuwo kple xɔlɔ̃ veviwo ene la ade mi asi, eye woana woava lé mi, eye woawu mia dometɔ aɖewo gɔ̃ hã.
17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
Ame sia ame alé fu mi, elabena mienye tɔnyewo ta.
18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
Gake le nyateƒe me la, miaƒe taɖa ɖeka pɛ hã matsrɔ̃ o.
19 “By your endurance you will win your lives.
Elabena ne miele tsitre sesĩe la, ekema miaƒe luʋɔwo akpɔ ɖeɖe.
20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
“Nenye be miekpɔ asrafowo woƒo xlã Yerusalem dua la, ke minyae be dua gbãɣi ɖo vɔ.
21 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.
Ekema mina ame siwo le Yudea la nasi ayi togbɛwo dzi, eye ame siwo le Yerusalem la nadze agbagba asi. Ke ame siwo le dua godo la megate kpɔ be yewoatrɔ ayi dua me o.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Ŋkeke siawoe nye hlɔ̃biaŋkekewo be nya si nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo katã gblɔ da ɖi la ava eme pɛpɛpɛ.
23 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.
Ke baba na nyɔnu siwo ƒo fu le kple ame siwo si vidzĩ fɛ̃wo le, elabena nuxaxa geɖe ava anyigba sia dzi eye Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ava dukɔ sia dzi.
24 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.
Woawu wo tamesesẽtɔe alo woaɖe aboyo wo ayi xexemedukɔ bubuwo mee. Ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la aɖu Yerusalem dua dzi agbãe gudugudu. Esia ayi dzi va se ɖe esime wòdze Mawu ŋu be wòaɖo asi ame siwo menye Yudatɔ siawo o dzi.”
25 “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;
“Azɔ la, dzesi dziŋɔwo ado ɖe ɣe, ɣleti kple ɣletiviwo me. Le anyigba dzi afi sia la, ʋunyaʋunya ava dukɔwo me, eye woatɔtɔ, elabena atsiaƒu aɖe gbe sesĩe, eye ƒutsotsoewo aŋe ŋɔdzitɔe.
26 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.
Ame geɖewo abu mɔkpɔkpɔ le vɔvɔ̃ ku ɖe nu dziŋɔ siwo gbɔna dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe anyigba sia dzi ta, elabena ŋusẽ siwo le dziƒo la hã aʋuʋu.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Ale ame siwo le anyigba dzi la akpɔ nye Amegbetɔ Vi la manɔ lilikpowo dzi gbɔna le ŋusẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe gã aɖe me.
28 But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
Eya ta ne nu siawo katã le dzɔdzɔm la, minɔ te sesĩe, eye mianɔ ŋudzɔ, elabena ɣeyiɣia ɖo vɔ be woaɖe mi.”
29 He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
Azɔ edo lo sia na wo be, “Mikpɔ aŋutiti kple ati bubuawo katã ɖa,
30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
ne woto aŋgbawo la, miakpɔe adze sii le mia ɖokui si be dzomeŋɔli le ɖoɖom.”
31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
Nenema ke nenye be miekpɔ be nu siwo megblɔ na mi le eme vam la, minyae be mawufiaɖuƒe la te tu aƒe.
32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
“Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be, dzidzime sia anɔ agbe akpɔ nu siawo teƒe pɛpɛpɛ hafi aku.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
Eye togbɔ be dziƒo kple anyigba nu ava yi hã la, nye nyawo nu mele yiyi ge akpɔ o.
34 “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.
“Mikpɔ nyuie be nutsuɖuɖu, ahamumu kple dzimaɖitsitsi ɖe agbemenyawo ŋu nagate miaƒe dzi ɖe to o, eye ŋkekea naɖi ɖe mi abe ale si mɔ ɖea ame ene o.
35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
Elabena adze ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dzi kpoyi.
36 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.”
Minɔ ŋudzɔ ɖaa, eye miado gbe ɖa be ne edze Mawu ŋu la, miagakpɔ nu dziŋɔ siawo dometɔ aɖeke teƒe hafi miatsi tsitre ɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋkume o.”
37 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.
Yesu nɔ nu fiam le gbedoxɔa me gbe sia gbe, eye le fiẽ me la, etrɔna yia Amito la dzi, afi si wòdɔna le zã me,
38 All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
eye ameha la katã ƒoa ƒu ŋdi sia ŋdi le gbedoxɔ la me be yewoaɖo to eƒe nufiafia.
