Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
And he looked up, and saw the rich throwing their gifts into the treasury.
2 ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
And he saw also a certain poor widow throw in thither two mites.
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
And he said: Of a truth, I say to you, that this poor widow has thrown in more than they all.
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, from their abundance, have thrown in among the gifts of God; but she, from her poverty, has thrown in all the living that she had.
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned 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 which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
And they asked him, saying: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass?
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 replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them.
9 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately.
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
Then he said to them: Nation shall 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
and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights 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 persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and into prisons, after being brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
But this shall become to you the means of bearing testimony.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
Therefore, determine in your hearts not to meditate beforehand what you shall answer;
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
for I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, which all your opposers shall not be able to gainsay or withstand.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
But you will be delivered up by parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death;
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
Yet a hair of your head shall not perish.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
By your patient endurance, preserve your lives.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
But when you shall see Jerusalem besieged by armies, then know that its desolation 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 Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it, withdraw from it. Let those who are in the count try, not come within it.
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that 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
But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon 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 shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσης θαλασσης και σαλου
And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
men’s hearts failing on account of the fearful expectation of the things that are coming on the land; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
And then shall they 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
When these things begin to take place, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
And he spoke a parable to 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 now put forth leaves, you see, and know of yourselves that summer is near.
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
So likewise, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not 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
And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it.
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
For as a snare, it shall come on all that dwell on the face of all the land.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
Watch, therefore, and pray at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, 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
And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple. But he went out and passed the nights in the mount called the mount of Olives.
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, in order to hear him.
