Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
Jesus looked up and saw the rich men who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
So he said, “Truly I say to 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
All of these gave gifts out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all she had to live on.”
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
As some spoke of the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται
“As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down.”
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
So they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when will these things happen? What will be the sign when 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
Jesus answered, “Be careful that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after 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 riots, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not happen 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, and in various places famines and plagues. There will be terrifying events 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 of these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you over to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors because of my name.
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
Therefore resolve in your hearts not to prepare your defense ahead of time,
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
for I will give you words and wisdom that all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
But you will be delivered up also by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
You will be hated by everyone because of my name.
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
In your endurance you will gain your souls.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its destruction is near.
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 in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the city leave it, and those who are out in the country must not enter the city.
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
For these are days of vengeance, so that all the things that are written will 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 them who are pregnant and to them who are nursing in those days! For there will be great distress upon 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 they will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled 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, in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth. The nations will be in distress, anxious because of the roar of the sea and waves.
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
There will be men fainting from fear and from expectation of the things which are coming upon 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, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is coming near.”
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
Jesus told them a parable, “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
When they sprout buds, you see for yourselves and know that summer is already near.
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
So also, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρυνθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
But pay attention to yourselves, so that your hearts are not burdened with the effects of drinking and intoxication, and the worries of life, and then that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
For it will come upon everyone living on the face of the whole earth.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
But be alert at all times, praying that you may be strong enough to escape all these things that will take place, 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
So during the days he was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
All of the people came early in the morning to hear him in the temple.
