Luke 21
1 Mme ya re a ema mo Tempeleng a bo a lebeletse bahumi thata fa ba tsenya dineo tsa bone mo letloleng.
He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Mme mohumanegi wa motlholagadi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two lepta.
3 Mme Jesu a re, “Ammaaruri motlholagadi yo wa mohumanegi o ntshitse mo go tona go gaisa ga ba ba ntshitseng gotlhe go kopantswe.
He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 Gonne ba ntshitse bonnye jwa se ba sa se tlhokeng, mme ene ka fa khumanegong ya gagwe o ntshitse gotlhe mo o neng a na le gone.”
for all these put in gifts from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."
5 Bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba simolola go bua kaga bontle jwa maje a a kgabisitseng Tempele le mekgabisa ya segopotso mo dipoteng.
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 Mme Jesu a re, “Lobaka lo e tla lo dilo tse tsotlhe tse di lo kgatlhang di tlaa digelwang fa fatshe, mme ga go leje lepe le le tlaa tlogelwang le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe; gotlhe go tlaa nna mokoa o le mongwe fela wa matlakala.”
"As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."
7 Mme ba goa ba re, “Morena! mo go tlaa diragala leng? A go tlaa nna le tlhagiso nngwe pele ga nako ya go diragala?”
They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"
8 Mme a fetola a re, “Lo se lese ope go lo timetsa. Gonne ba le bantsi ba tlaa tla ba ipolela fa e le bo-Mesia, ba re, ‘Nako e gorogile’ mme lo se ka lwa ba dumela!”
He said, "Watch out that you do not get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Therefore do not follow them.
9 “Mme e re fa lo utlwela dintwa le dipheretlhego di simologa, lo se ka lwa tshoga. Dintwa tsa boammaaruri di tshwanetse go tla mme bokhutlo ga bo kitla bo tla ka bonako,
When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."
10 gonne chaba e tlaa tsogologela chaba e nngwe le bogosi bo tlaa tsogologela jo bongwe,
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 mme go tlaa nna dithoromo tse dikgolo tsa lefatshe le mauba mo mafatsheng a le mantsi, le maroborobo le dipoitshego tse di diregang mo magodimong.
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 “Mme pele ga mo gotlhe go diragala; go tlaa nna le paka ya dipogiso, lo tlaa gogelwa mo disenagogeng mo dikgolegelong le fa pele ga dikgosi le balaodi ka ntlha ya Leina la Me.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.
13 “Mme ka ntlha ya gone moo, Mesia o tlaa itsege ka bophara a bo a tlotlwa.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Jalo, lo se tshwenyege ka gore lo tlaa ikarabela jang,
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 gonne ke tlaa lo naya mafoko a a tshwanetseng le botlhale mo e leng gore baganetsi ba lona ga ba kitla ba lo fetola!
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 Le e leng ba ga lona tota, batsadi ba lona, bomorwa-rraalona, ba lo tsalwang nabo ditsala tsa lona di tlaa lo oka gore lo tshwarwe; mme bangwe ba lona ba tlaa bolawa.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 “Mme batho botlhe ba tlaa lo ila ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me e bile lo bidiwa ka Leina la Me.
And you will be hated by everyone because of my name.
18 Mme le fa e le thiri ya tlhogo ya lona ga e kitla e nyelela!
But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Gonne fa lo eme ka tlhomamo, lo tlaa boloka mewa ya lona.
"By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 “Mme fa lo bona Jerusalema a dikaganyeditswe ke dintwa, ke gone lo tlaa itseng gore nako ya tshenyego e gorogile.
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.
21 Hong lesang batho ba Judea ba tshabele kwa dithabeng. Lesang ba ba mo Jerusalema ba leke go falola, mme ba ba kwa ntle ga motse ba se ka ba leka go boa.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter it.
22 Gonne ao e tlaa bo e le malatsi a katlholo ya Modimo, le mafoko a dikwalo tsa bogologolo a a kwadilweng ke baporofiti a tlaa diragala ka botlalo.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 “Mme a bo go tlaa latlhega bomme ba baimana mo malatsing ao, le ba ba nang le masea. Gonne go tlaa nna pitlagano e kgolo mo chabeng e le bogale mo bathong ba.
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days. For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24 “Ba tlaa bolawa polao e e setlhogo ka ditlha-bani tsa mmaba, kgotsa ba isiwe jaaka bafaladi le ditshwara mo dichabeng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe; mme Jerusalema o tlaa fenngwa a gatakwa ke Badi-chaba go fitlhelela nako ya phenyo ya Badi-chaba e khutla mo lobakeng lwa Modimo.
And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by non-Jewish people until the times are fulfilled. And there will be times of the non-Jewish people.
25 “Mme go tlaa nna le ditiragalo tse di sa tlwaelesegang mo loaping, ditlhagiso le botlhodi jo bo maswe mo letsatsing, ngwedi le dinaledi, le mono lefatsheng dichaba di tlaa nna mo pheretlhegong le mo tlalelong e kgolo ka ntlha ya modumo wa mawatle le makhubu a a sa tlwaelesegang.
And there will be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 Bopelo-kgale jwa batho ba le bantsi bo tlaa reketla ka ntlha ya tiragalo e ba e bonang e tla mo lefatsheng, gonne dinonofo tsa magodimo di tlaa thubaganngwa.
people will be fainting from fear, and from expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Mme batho ba lefatshe ba tlaa mpona nna Mesia, ke tla mo lerung ka nonofo le kgalalelo e kgolo.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Mme e tlaa re fa dilo tse tsotlhe di simologa go diragala, lo eme lo tlhamalale lo lebe kwa godimo! gonne poloko ya lona e gaufi.”
But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."
29 Mme a ba fa setshwantsho se: “Lepang setlhare sa mofeige kgotsa setlhare sengwe fela.
He told them a parable. "See the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 Fa matlhare a tlhoga, lo itse lo sa bolelelwa gore selemo se gaufi.
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 Fela jalo fa lo bona ditiragalo tse ke di lo tlhaloseditseng di diragala lo tlhomamise gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo gaufi.
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
32 “Ke lo tlhomamisetsa gore fa dilo tse di diragala, bokhutlo jwa motlha ono bo tlaa bo bo gorogile.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 Legodimo le lefatshe di tlaa feta, le fa go ntse jalo mafoko a me a eme mo boammaaruring ka bosakhutleng.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 “Itiseng! Lo se letle gore go tla ga me ka tshoganetso go lo fitlhele lo sa ipaakanya. Ke se ka ka lo fitlhela lo iketlile mo boatleng, kgotsa mo medirong ya botlhapelwa, lo gapilwe ke matshwenyego a botshelo jo, jaaka mo lefatsheng lotlhe.
"So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Lo lebeleleng ka metlha yotlhe. Lo rapele gore e re fa go kgonega lo tle fa pele ga me lo ise lo bone dikhuduego tse.”
Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be able to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."
37 Letsatsi le letsatsi Jesu o ne a ya kwa Tempeleng go ya go ruta, mme bontsi jwa batho ba phuthega go sa le mo mosong go ya go mo reetsa. Mme mo maabanyaneng mangwe le mangwe o ne a tle a boele kwa Thoteng ya Lotlhware go ya go lala teng.
Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
