< Lucas 21 >

1 Timmangad ni Hesus ket nakitana dagiti nababaknang nga lalaki a mangikabkabil kadagiti sagsagut iti pagipisukan.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Nakitana ti nakurapay nga balo a babai nga nagipisok iti dua a barya.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Isu nga kinunana, “Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, daytoy nga balo ket ad-adu pay ti naitedna ngem kadakuada amin.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Ta paset laeng ti nawadwad a gamengda ti naitedda a sagut. Ngem daytoy nga balo, manipud kinakurapayna, intedna ti amin nga pagbiagna.”
5 Kabayatan a dadduma kadakuada ket pagtutungtonganda ti maipanggep iti templo, no kasanu nga naarkusan iti napipintas a batbato ken datdaton, kinunana,
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 “No maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag a makitkitayo, umayto dagiti al-aldaw nga uray maysa kadagiti batbato ket awanto ti mabati nga nagtutuon a saan a marba.”
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Isunga nagdamagda kenkuana, kunada, “Maestro, kaanunto nga mapasamak dagitoy a banbanag? Ken anyanto ti pagilasinan nu dagitoy a banbanag ket mapasamaken.”
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Simungbat ni Jesus, “Agannad kayo ket di kay agpaallilaw. Ta adunto ti umay iti nagan ko, a kunada, 'Siak isuna,' ken, 'Asidegen ti tiempo.' Saanyo nga suruten ida.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Inton makangngeg kayo kadagiti gubat ken riribuk, saan kayo nga agbuteng, ta masapul a mapasamak dagitoy nga umuna, ngem ti panungpalan ket saan pay nga mapasamak a dagus.”
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Ket kinunana kadakuada, “Aggiginnubatto dagiti pagilian ken pagarian a maibusur iti pagarian.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Addanto napipigsa nga gingined, ken panagbisin ken didigra kadagiti nadumaduma a lugar. Addanto dagiti nakabutbuteng a paspasamak ken nakaskasdaaw a pagilasinan manipud langit.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Ngem sakbay kadagitoy amin a banbanag, kabilendakayto ken idadanes dakayto, maidarum ken mausigkayto kadagiti sinagoga ken ibaluddakayto, ken isangodakayto kadagiti ar-ari ken gobernador gapu iti nagan ko.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Daytoy ket iturongnakayto iti gundawayyo a mangipakaammo iti pammaneknekyo.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Ngarud, ikeddengyo iti puspusoyo nga diyo isagana ti isungbatyo,
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 ta itedkonto kadakayo ti sao ken kinasirib a dinto masungbatan wenno supiaten dagiti amin a kabusoryo.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Ngem iyawat dakayto met dagiti nagannak, kakabsat, kakabagian, ken dagiti gagayyem, ket papatayendanto dagiti dadduma kadakayo.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Kaguradakayto ti amin gapu iti nagan ko.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Ngem awan to iti uray maysa nga buokyo a mapukaw.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Gapu iti panagibturyo, magun-odyonto ti kararruayo.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 No makitayo ti Jerusalem nga napalawlawan dagiti suldado, ammuyon nga asidegen ti pannakadadaelna.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Iti kasta masapul nga palubusanyo dagiti taga Judea nga kumamang kadagiti banbantay, ken pumanaw dagiti adda iti tengnga ti siyudad, ket diyo itulok nga sumrek dagiti naggapu iti away.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Ta dagitoy dagiti panawen iti panagibales, tapno amin nga banbanag a naisurat ket matungpal.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Kaasidanto pay dagiti masikog ken agpaspasuso iti dayta nga aldaw! Ta addanto ti nakaro a rigat iti pagilian, ken pungtot iti daytoy a tattao.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Ket matumbadanto iti murdong ti kampilan, ken maipanawdanto nga agbalin a balod kadagiti amin nga nasnasyon, ket baddebaddekanto dagiti Gentil ti Jerusalem agingga a matungpal ti tiempo dagiti Hentil.
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 Addanto dagiti pagilasinan iti init, ken iti bulan ken kadagiti bitbituen. Ken iti rabaw iti daga, addanto iti rigat kadagiti pagilian, gapu iti butengda manipud daranudor iti baybay ken dalluyon.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Addanto lallaki a matalimudaw gapu iti butengda ken iti namnamaenda nga banbanag nga umay iti lubong. Gapu ta dagiti bileg ti langit ket magungonto.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Ket makitadanto iti Anak ti Tao nga um-umay iti ulep nga addaan pannakabalin ken dayag.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Ngem inton mangrugi a mapasamak dagitoy nga banbanag, tumakder, ken tumangad kayo, gapu ta iti pannakaisalakanyo ket asidegen.”
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Nagsarita ni Jesus kadakuada iti pangarig, “Kitaenyo diay igos ken amin nga kaykayo.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 No agrugi da nga agbulongen, makitayo ken ammoyo a ti kalgaw ket asidegen.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Kastamet, inton makitayo dagitoy a banbanag a mapaspasamak, ammoyo a ti pagarian ti Dios ket umadanin.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Ibagak kadakayo, pudno nga daytoy a kaputotan ket saan nga mapukaw, agingga nga saan a mapasamak dagitoy a banbanag.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Ti langit ken ti daga ket mapukawto, ngem dagiti sasaok ket saan to pulos mapukaw.
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 Ngem kitaenyo dagiti bagbagiyo, tapno saan nga madagsenan dagiti puspusoyo iti kinadakes, panagbartek ken ania man a pakasikuran iti daytoy a biag. Ta kellaatto nga umay kadakayo dayta nga aldaw
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 kas palab-og. Ta umayto kadagiti amin nga agbibiag iti rabaw ti daga.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Ngem naridam kaykoma a kankanayon, ikarkararagyo nga naan-anay koma ti pigsayo a manglibas kadagitoy nga banbanag nga mapasamak, ken agtakder iti sangnguanan ti Anak ti Tao.”
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Isu nga kadagiti aldaw ket agisuro isuna idiay templo ken iti rabii ket rummuar isuna, ken agpatpatnag idiay bantay a maawagan ti Olibo.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Ket dagiti amin nga tattao, masapada tapno denggen da isuna idiay templo.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
