Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 ειδεν δε τινα και χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small bronze coins.
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 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
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.”
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθον ος ου καταλυθησεται
“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.”
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 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
He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι κατα τοπους και λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και σημεια απ ουρανου μεγαλα εσται
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 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
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.
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν η αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και συγγενων και φιλων και αδελφων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
“But when you see Jerusalem [City of peace] surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη και οι εν μεσω αυτης εκχωρειτωσαν και οι εν ταις χωραις μη εισερχεσθωσαν εις αυτην
Then let those who are in Judea [Praise] flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 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
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.
24 και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρας και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εις παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem [City of peace] will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσης θαλασσης και σαλου
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;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
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.
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων
But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 οταν προβαλλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσεται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
“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.
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
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.”
37 ην δε τας ημερας εν τω ιερω διδασκων τας δε νυκτας εξερχομενος ηυλιζετο εις το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων
Every day Yeshua [Salvation] was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
