Lukas 21
1 Då han såg upp, vart han var at dei rike lagde gåvorne sine i templekista;
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 og han vart var ei armodsleg enkja, som lagde tvo skjervar.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Då sagde han: «Det segjer eg dykk for sant: Denne fatige enkja hev lagt meir enn dei alle.
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 For det som desse gav, det gav dei alle av nøgdi si; men ho gav av si fatige råd - gav alt ho hadde til å livberga seg med.»
5 Det var nokre som tala um templet, at det var prydt med fagre steinar og vigde gåvor. Då sagde han:
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 «Dette som de skodar, um det skal de vita at det vil koma ei tid då her ikkje vert liggjande stein på stein, som ikkje skal rivast laus.»
“[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 «Når skal då dette ganga fyre seg, meister, » spurde dei, «og kva er merket på at den tidi lid nær?»
[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 Då svara han: Sjå dykk fyre, so ingen fær ført dykk på villstig! For mange skal taka mitt namn og segja: «Det er eg!» og: «Det lid innpå tidi. Fylg ikkje etter deim!
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 Og når de høyrer um ufred og upprør, so vert ikkje fælne! For fyrst lyt det henda; men enden kjem ikkje straks.»
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 So sagde han til deim: «Folk skal reisa seg imot folk, og rike mot rike;
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 store jordskjelvar skal koma, og uår og sott kring i landi; og det skal syna seg skræmor og store teikn frå himmelen.
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 Men fyrr alt dette hender, skal dei leggja hand på dykk og forfylgja dykk og draga dykk inn i synagogor og fangehus; og de skal førast fram for kongar og landshovdingar for mitt namn skuld.
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 Då skal de koma til å vitna.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Legg dykk då på minne at de ikkje fyreåt tarv tenkja på korleis de skal svara for dykk!
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Eg skal gjeva dykk munn og visdom, som ingen av motmennerne dykkar skal kunna standa seg for eller segja imot.
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 Jamvel foreldre og brør og skyldfolk og vener skal svika dykk og valda sume av dykk dauden,
[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 og alle skal hata dykk for mitt namn skuld.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Men ikkje eit hår på hovudet dykkar skal forkomast.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Haldt ut, so skal de vinna sjælerne dykkar!
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Når de ser at stridsherar kringset Jerusalem, då skal de vita at det ikkje er lenge fyrr han vert lagd i øyde.
“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 Då lyt dei som er i Judaland røma til fjells; dei som er inni byen, lyt flytja ut, og dei som er utpå landet, må ikkje koma inn.
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 For dette er hemnardagarne; då skal det ganga fram alt det som stend skrive.
[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 Stakkars deim som gjeng med barn eller gjev brjost, i dei dagarne! For det skal vera stor naud i landet og vreide yver dette folket.
[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 Dei skal falla for sverdseggi og førast hertekne burt til alle heidningfolk, og Jerusalem skal heidningarne trøda under fot, til heidningtidi er ute.
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 Det skal syna seg teikn i sol og måne og stjernor, og på jordi skal folki fælast i vonløysa, når havet og brotsjøarne dyn.
“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 Folk skal uvita av rædsla og gru for det som kjem yver mannaheimen; for himmelkrafterne skal skakast.
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 Då skal dei sjå Menneskjesonen koma i skyi med velde og stor herlegdom.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Men når dette tek til å henda, då rett dykk upp, og lyft hovudet! for det lid mot utløysingi dykkar.»
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 So sagde han deim ei likning: «Sjå på fiketreet og alle andre tre!
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 So snart de ser dei hev sprotte, då veit de av dykk sjølve at no er sumaren nær.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Soleis når de ser dette hender, då veit de at Guds rike er nær.
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 Det segjer eg dykk for visst: Denne ætti skal ikkje forgangast fyrr alt saman hev hendt.
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 Himmel og jord skal forgangast, men mine ord skal aldri forgangast.
[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 Gjev agt på dykk sjølve, at de aldri let hjarta tyngjast av rus og ovdrykk og verdsleg sut, so den dagen kjem uventande på dykk!
“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 For som eit fuglenet skal han skal koma yver alle som bur kring i vidande verdi.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Vak kvar tid og stund, og bed at de kann få styrk til å røma undan alt dette som koma skal, og standa dykk framfor Menneskjesonen!»
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 Um dagarne lærde han i templet; men um kveldarne gjekk han ut or byen og var natti yver på den åsen dei kallar Oljeberget.
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 Og alt folket kom tidleg um morgonen til honom i templet og lydde på honom.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
