Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.
2 ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
And he saw a certain poor widow putting in a farthing.
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given 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 they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται
As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?
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
And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people 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
And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
Then he said to them, Nation will be moved 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 earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders 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 this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
And it will be turned to a witness for you.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:
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, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
And you will be hated by all men, because of me.
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her 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 who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.
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
It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.
24 και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρας και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εις παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.
25 και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσης θαλασσης και σαλου
And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
And 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 come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;
30 οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain 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 come to an end till all things are complete.
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
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 give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place 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
And every day he was teaching in the Temple and every night he went out to the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives to take his rest.
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
And all the people came early in the morning to give ear to his words in the Temple.
