Luuqaasa 21
1 Dure asay Xoossa Keethan muxaata saaxiniyan yeggishin Yesuusi dhoqqu gidi asaa be7is.
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 Qassi issi manqo am77iya nam77u sikkina yeggishin be7idi,
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
3 “Ta hinttew tuma odays; ha manqo am77iya ubbaafe aathada immasu.
‘I tell you’, he said ‘that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 Ays giikko, ha asa ubbay banttaw de7iyabaappe immidosona, shin iya ba pacciyaafe, baw de7iya aquwaa ubbaa immasu” yaagis.
for everyone else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live on.’
5 Yesuusa tamaaretappe issoti issoti Xoossa Keethay daro lo77iya shuchchaninne asay Xoossaas immida imotan lo77idayssa odettoosona.
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6 Shin Yesuusi, “Ha hintte be7iyabay ubbay laalettonna, shuchchi shuchcha bolla gimbbettida mela attonna wodey yaana” yaagis.
‘As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left on another here. Every one will be thrown down.’
7 Enttika, “Asttamaariyaw, ha ubbay hananay awude? Qassi hayssi hananayssas malaatay aybee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
So the disciples questioned Jesus, ‘But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?’
8 Yesuusi yaagidi enttaw zaaro immis; “Balettonna mela naagettite. Daroti, ‘Taani Kiristtoosa, wodey matattis’ yaagishe ta sunthan yaana, shin hintte entta kaallofite.
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.
9 Hintte olabaanne asaa geellatethaa si7iya wode dagammofite. Hessi sinthattidi hananayssi attonnabaa gidiya gisho wodiya wurssethay ellesidi yeenna” yaagis.
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.’
10 Kaallidikka, “Derey deriya bolla, kawotethay kawotethaa bolla denddana.
Then he said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 Gita biitta qaaxoy hanana, koshaynne gadoy dumma dumma bessan darana, yashshiyabaynne gita malaatati saloppe qonccana.
and there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
12 Shin ha ubbay hananaappe sinthe ta sunthaa gisho gidi asay hinttena gooddananne oykkana. Ayhude Woosa Keethaninne qasho keethan hinttena yeggana. Kawota sinthenne deriya haareyssata sinthe hinttena efana.
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.
13 Hessika tabaa hintte enttaw markkattanaw lo77o oge gidana.
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 Hessa gisho, hintte oyshettiya wode woygidi zaaro immanee gidi hintte wozanan un77ettonna mela akeekite.
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defence;
15 Ays giikko, hintte morkketi hinttera eqettanawunne palamanaw dandda7onna doonanne cinccatethi ta hinttew immana.
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 Hari attoshin, hinttena yelidayssati, hintte ishati, hintte dabbotinne laggeti hinttena aathi immana. Hintte giddofe issota issota wodhana.
You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relatives and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
17 Ta sunthaa gisho asa ubbaa sinthan hintte ixettidayssata gidana.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
18 Shin hari attoshin, hintte binaanappe issoykka dhayenna.
Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
19 Polo dandda7an hintte, hintte shemppuwa ashshana.”
By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
20 “Yerusalaame katamay wotaaddaren direttidi uttidashin hintte be7ikko iyaw dhayoy matattidayssa erite.
As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
21 He wode Yihudan de7iya ubbay deriyakko baqato, kataman de7eyssati yaappe keyo, gaxariyan de7eyssati katama geloppo.
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.
22 Ays giikko, ha xaafettidabay polettana mela hessi Xoossay kushe zaariya wode.
For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 Sa7a bolla gita metoy yaana, hessankka asaa bolla Xoossaa hanqoy yaana. Hessa gisho, qanthatidayssatanne dhantheyssata ayye.
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
24 Entti mashshan hayqqana, asay ubbay allaga biitta di7ettana. Ayhude gidonna asaa wodey polettana gakkanaw Yerusalaamey enttanan yedhettidayssa gidana.
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 will be.
25 “Awan, ageenaninne, xoolintuwa bolla malaatati hanidi benttana. Abbaafenne zuliya deshuwappe denddoyssan biittan de7iya asay un77ettananne yarkkana.
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.
26 Saluwa wolqqati buqettana gisho asay yashshaninne biitta bolla aybi hananddeshsha gidi naagon banttana balettana.
People’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
27 He wode Asa Na7ay wolqqaninne gita bonchchuwan shaarara yishin entti be7ana.
Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Hintte atotethay matattida gisho ha hanoti poletethi oykkiya wode giigeti eqqite, hintte huu7iya dhoqqu oothidi xeellite” yaagis.
And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.’
29 Kaallidikka, hayssada gidi leemiso odis; “Balase giya mithaanne hara mithata ubbaa be7ite.
Then he taught them a lesson, saying – ‘Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 Entti aaciya wode torchchey matattidayssa hintte ereeta.
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 Hessada ha hanoti polettishin hintte be7ikko Xoossaa kawotethay matattidayssa erite.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Ta hinttew tuma odays; ha ubbay polettana gakkanaw ha yeletethay aadhdhenna.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Saloynne sa7ay aadhdhana, shin ta qaalay aadhdhenna.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Hiza, dhassi baynna de7on, ushsha daroninne duussabaas un77etethan hintte wozanay oykettonna melanne he qammay akeekonna xiheda hintte bolla gakkonna mela naagettite.
Be on your guard or your minds will become dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and “that day” will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 He qammay biitta kumethan de7iya ubbaa bolla gakkana.
For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Hessa gisho, yaa iitaappe attanawunne Asa Na7a sinthan eqqanaw dandda7ana mela ubba wode minnidi woossite” yaagis.
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.’
37 Gallas gallas Yesuusi Xoossa Keethan tamaarssishe, qamma qamma Shamaho Deriya bolla keyidi aqees.
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.”
38 Asay ubbay iya si7anaw wontta guura iyaakko Xoossaa Keethi yoosona.
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
