Lik 21
1 Alò, Li leve zye li e te wè moun rich yo ki t ap mete ofrann nan bwat kès nan tanp lan.
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 Konsa, Li te wè yon sèten vèv pòv ki t ap mete de ti pyès monnen an kwiv.
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two small coins into them.
3 Li te di: “Anverite Mwen di nou, ke fanm pòv sila a te mete plis pase yo tout;
‘I tell you’, he said ‘that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 paske yo te mete ofrann selon abondans yo; men li menm, nan povrete li, li te mete tout sa li te gen pou l viv.”
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 Alò, pandan kèk moun t ap pale de tanp lan, kijan li te byen dekore avèk bèl bijou, ak kado konsakre yo, Li te di:
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,
6 Pou bagay sa yo ke nou ap gade la a, jou a va vini lè p ap rete yon sèl wòch sou lòt ki p ap chire dekonble.
‘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 Yo te mande L: “Mèt, kilè bagay sa yo ap rive? Epi ki sign k ap demontre ke yo prèt pou rive?”
So the disciples questioned Jesus, ‘But, teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is near?’
8 Li te di: “Veye byen pou nou pa twonpe; paske anpil moun ap vini nan non Mwen, e yo va di: ‘Mwen se Li menm’, e, ‘Lè a toupre’. Pa kouri dèyè yo.
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 Lè nou tande afè lagè, avèk boulvèsman, pa enkyete; paske fòk bagay sa yo rive avan, men lafen an poko ap rive.”
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 Ankò, Li te di yo: “Nasyon va leve kont nasyon, e wayòm kont wayòm.
Then he said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 Va gen gran tranbleman detè, e nan plizyè andwa, epidemi avèk gwo grangou. Va gen gwo laperèz avèk gwo sign ki sòti nan syèl la.
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 Men avan tout bagay sa yo, yo va mete men sou nou, yo va pèsekite nou, e yo va livre nou nan sinagòg avèk prizon yo. Yo va mennen nou devan wa ak gouvènè yo pou koz a non Mwen.
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 Sa va ouvri yon chemen pou temwayaj nou.
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 Pou sa, pran desizyon avan lè pou pa prepare defans nou.
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defence;
15 Paske Mwen va bannou pawòl avèk sajès pou okenn nan advèsè nou yo pa kapab reziste ni demanti.
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 Men Nou va trayi menm pa paran nou, frè, manm fanmi nou avèk zanmi nou. Yo va mete kèk nan nou a lanmò.
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 Nou va rayi pa tout moun akoz non Mwen.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me my name.
18 Men pa menm yon cheve nan tèt nou p ap peri.
Yet not a single hair of your heads will be lost!
19 Pa pèseverans nou, nou va reyisi genyen lavi nou.
By your endurance you will win yourselves life.
20 Men lè nou wè Jérusalem antoure pa lame, nan moman sa a, rekonèt ke dezolasyon li toupre.
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 Answit nan lè sa a, sila ki nan Juda yo va oblije sove pou ale nan mòn yo, sila ki nan mitan vil yo va oblije sòti, e sila ki andeyò yo p ap pou antre nan vil la.
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 Paske jou sa yo se jou vanjans yo, pou tout bagay ki ekri yo kapab vin akonpli.
For these are to be the days of vengeance, when all that scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 Malè a sila yo k ap pote pitit, ak sila yo ki nouris nan jou sa yo, paske va gen gwo twoub sou tè a, e kòlè sou pèp sila a.
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 Yo va tonbe pa lam nepe, e yo va mennen kòm kaptif pou antre nan tout nasyon yo. Jérusalem va foule anba pye pa payen yo jiskaske tan payen yo fin acheve.
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 Konsa, va gen sign nan solèy la, lalin ak zetwal yo, e sou latè, sezisman pami nasyon yo, ak gwo malantandi akoz laraj lanmè a ak lanm lanmè yo.
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 Moun va pèdi kapasite akoz laperèz, avèk twòp refleksyon sou sa k ap rive nan mond lan. Paske pouvwa nan syèl yo ap vin ebranle.
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 Answit yo va wè Fis a Lòm nan k ap vini nan yon nyaj avèk pouvwa, ak gran glwa.
Then will be seen the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Men lè bagay sa yo kòmanse fèt, ranje kò nou, e leve tèt nou, paske delivrans nou ap toupre.
And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.’
29 Answit Li te di yo yon parabòl: Veye byen pye figye frans lan, avèk tout pyebwa yo.
Then he taught them a lesson, saying – ‘Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 Depi yo pouse fèy, nou va wè sa, e nou vakonnen pou kont nou ke gran sezon chalè a toupre kounye a.
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 Menm jan an, nou menm tou, lè nou wè bagay sa yo ap fèt, rekonèt ke wayòm Bondye a toupre.
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Anverite Mwen di nou, ke jenerasyon sila a p ap pase avan tout bagay sa yo rive.
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Syèl la avèk tè a va pase, men pawòl Mwen yo p ap pase.
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 Veye nou, swa kè nou va vin lou nan banbòch ak bwason avèk enkyetid lavi yo, paske jou sa a va vini sou nou sibitman.
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 Paske li va vini kon yon piyej sou tout sila yo ki rete sou fas tout tè a.
For it will come on all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
36 Men rete vijilan tout tan avèk lapriyè pou nou kapab gen fòs pou chape de tout bagay sila yo ki prèt pou rive, e pou kanpe devan Fis a Lòm nan.”
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 Alò pandan jounen an, Li t ap enstwi nan tanp lan; men nan aswè, Li te konn ale deyò pou pase nwit lan sou mòn ki rele Olivye a.
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 Epi tout pèp la te toujou leve granmmaten pou vin kote Li nan tanp lan pou koute Li.
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
