< Lucam 21 >

1 Respiciens autem vidit eos, qui mittebant munera sua in gazophylacium, divites.
And he looked up, and saw rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Vidit autem et quandam viduam pauperculam mittentem aera minuta duo.
And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in thither two mites.
3 Et dixit: Vere dico vobis, quia vidua haec pauper, plus quam omnes misit.
And he said, Of a truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.
4 Nam omnes hi ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei: haec autem ex eo, quo deest illi, omnem victum suum, quem habuit, misit.
For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 Et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod bonis lapidibus, et donis ornatum esset, dixit:
And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said,
6 Haec, quae videtis, venient dies, in quibus non relinquetur lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur.
[As for] these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.
7 Interrogaverunt autem illum, dicentes: Praeceptor, quando haec erunt, et quod signum cum fieri incipient?
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will these things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to pass?
8 Qui dixit: Videte ne seducamini: multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes quia ego sum: et tempus appropinquavit: nolite ergo ire post eos.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many will come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them.
9 Cum autem audieritis proelia, et seditiones, nolite terreri: oportet enim primum haec fieri, sed nondum statim finis.
But when ye shall hear of wars, and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass: but the end [is] not immediately.
10 Tunc dicebat illis: Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum adversus regnum.
Then said he to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Et terraemotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiae, et fames, terroresque de caelo, et signa magna erunt.
And great earthquakes will be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences: and fearful sights, and great signs will there be from heaven.
12 Sed ante haec omnia iniicient vobis manus suas, et persequentur tradentes in synagogas, et custodias, trahentes ad reges, et praesides propter nomen meum:
But before all these they will lay their hands on you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 continget autem vobis in testimonium.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non praemeditari quemadmodum respondeatis.
Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer.
15 ego enim dabo vobis os, et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere, et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 Trademini autem a parentibus, et fratribus, et cognatis, et amicis, et morte afficient ex vobis:
And ye will be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and [some] of you will they cause to be put to death.
17 et eritis odio omnibus hominibus propter nomen meum:
And ye will be hated by all [men] for my name's sake.
18 et capillus de capite vestro non peribit.
But there shall not a hair of your head perish.
19 In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras.
In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 Cum autem videritis circumdari ab exercitu Ierusalem, tunc scitote quia appropinquavit desolatio eius:
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that its desolation is nigh.
21 tunc qui in Iudaea sunt, fugiant ad montes: et qui in medio eius, discedant: et qui in regionibus, non intrent in eam.
Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart [from it]; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it.
22 quia dies ultionis hi sunt, ut impleantur omnia, quae scripta sunt.
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Vae autem praegnantibus, et nutrientibus in illis diebus. erit enim pressura magna super terram, et ira populo huic.
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Et cadent in ore gladii: et captivi ducentur in omnes Gentes. et Ierusalem calcabitur a Gentibus: donec impleantur tempora nationum.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled.
25 Et erunt signa in sole, et luna, et stellis, et in terris pressura Gentium prae confusione sonitus maris, et fluctuum:
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 arescentibus hominibus prae timore, et expectatione, quae supervenient universo orbi: nam virtutes caelorum movebuntur:
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 et tunc videbunt filium hominis venientem in nube cum potestate magna, et maiestate.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 His autem fieri incipientibus, respicite, et levate capita vestra: quoniam appropinquat redemptio vestra.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads: for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Et dixit illis similitudinem: Videte ficulneam, et omnes arbores:
And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees;
30 cum producunt iam ex se fructum, scitis quoniam prope est aestas.
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 Ita et vos cum videritis haec fieri, scitote quoniam prope est regnum Dei.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Amen dico vobis, quia non praeteribit generatio haec, donec omnia fiant.
Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Caelum, et terra transibunt: verba autem mea non transibunt.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away.
34 Attendite autem vobis, ne forte graventur corda vestra in crapula, et ebrietate, et curis huius vitae: et superveniat in vos repentina dies illa:
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.
35 tamquam laqueus enim superveniet in omnes, qui sedent super faciem omnis terrae.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Vigilate itaque, omni tempore orantes, ut digni habeamini fugere ista omnia, quae futura sunt, et stare ante Filium hominis.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Erat autem diebus docens in templo: noctibus vero exiens, morabatur in monte, qui vocatur Oliveti.
And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives.
38 Et omnis populus manicabat ad eum in templo audire eum.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
