< Luke 21 >

1 Pea vakai atu ʻe ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he lī ʻe he kakai koloaʻia ʻenau meʻa foaki ki he tukuʻanga koloa.
And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.
2 Pea mamata foki ʻe ia ki he fefine masiva, kuo mate hono husepāniti, ʻoku ne lī ki ai ʻae kihiʻi paʻanga ʻe ua.
And he saw a certain poor widow putting in a farthing.
3 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ko e fefine ni kuo mate hono husepāniti mo paea, kuo ne lī ki ai ʻo lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē:
And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:
4 He kuo lī ʻekinautolu ni kotoa pē ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he ʻOtua, mei heʻenau koloa lahi: ka kuo lī ʻe ia ki ai, mei heʻene masiva, ʻa ʻene moʻui kotoa pē.”
For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.
5 Pea ʻi he lea ʻae niʻihi ki he falelotu lahi, ki hono teungaʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka lelei mo e ngaahi meʻa foaki, ne pehē ʻe ia,
And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,
6 “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai ni, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻikai mahili ai ha maka ki ha maka, ka ʻe laku kotoa pē ki lalo.”
As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.
7 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻe hoko afe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoka hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?
8 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku hingoa ʻonau pehē, ‘Ko au ia;’ pea ‘ʻOku ofi mai ʻae ʻaho:’ ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou muimui kiate kinautolu.
And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.
9 Ka ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ngaahi maveuveu, ʻoua naʻa mou ilifia: koeʻuhi ʻe tomuʻa hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; ka ʻe ʻikai vave ʻae ngataʻanga.”
And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.
10 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga;
Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi mofuike lahi ʻi he potu kehekehe, mo e honge, mo e ngaahi mahaki lahi; pea ʻe hā mai mei he langi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga lahi.
There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.
12 Kae teʻeki ai ke hoko eni, te nau pukea ʻakimoutolu, mo fakatangaʻi, mo tukuange [ʻakimoutolu ]ki he ngaahi falelotu, mo e ngaahi fale fakapōpula, ʻonau ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi mo e pule, koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.
13 Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
And it will be turned to a witness for you.
14 Ko ia ke fakapapau homou loto, ke ʻoua naʻa tomuʻa fakakaukau ʻaia te mou tali ʻaki:
So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:
15 He te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngutu mo e poto, ʻe ʻikai faʻa tali pe taʻofia ʻe homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.
16 Ka ʻe lavakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e tokoua, mo e kāinga, mo e kaumeʻa; pea te nau tāmateʻi homou niʻihi.
But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
17 Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
And you will be hated by all men, because of me.
18 Ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻi homou ʻulu.
But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.
19 Mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou faʻa kātaki ʻa homou laumālie.
By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.
20 “Pea ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he kāpui ʻo Selūsalema ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matatau, mou toki ʻilo kuo ofi hono fakaʻauha.
But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.
21 Pea tuku ke toki feholaki ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi Siutea; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi kolo ke nau ʻalu atu; pea ʻoua naʻa hū ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he tukuʻuta.
Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.
22 He ko e ‘ngaahi ʻaho eni ʻoe totongi,’ koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi.
For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.
23 Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe feitama, mo kinautolu ʻe toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia! Koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae mamahi lahi ki he fonua, mo e houhau ki he kakai ni.
It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.
24 Pea ʻe tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he mata ʻoe heletā, pea ʻe taki pōpula ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē: pea ʻe malaki hifo ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he kakai Senitaile, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae kuonga ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.
25 “Pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he laʻā, mo e māhina, mo e ngaahi fetuʻu; pea ʻe ʻi he māmani ʻae mamahi ʻoe ngaahi kakai, mo e puputuʻu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻuʻulu ʻae tahi mo e ngaahi peau:
And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;
26 Ka ʻe mole ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ʻi he manavahē, mo tuʻotuʻatamaki ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ki māmani: koeʻuhi ʻe ngalulululu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi.
Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.
27 Pea te nau toki mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, mo e mālohi mo e nāunau lahi.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 Pea ʻi he kamata hoko mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mou sio hake, pea hanga hake homou ʻulu; he ʻoku ofi mai homou huhuʻi.”
But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.
29 Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “Vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē;
And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;
30 ‌ʻOka tupu hono muka, ʻoku mou mamata, pea mou ʻilo ai ʻoku ofi mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana.
When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.
31 Pea ʻe pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he hoko ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi mai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all things are complete.
33 ‌ʻE mole ʻae langi mo māmani; ka ʻe ʻikai mole ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
34 “Kae vakai kiate kimoutolu, telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo taʻomia homou loto ʻi he kai fekinaki, mo e kona, mo e tokanga ki he moʻui ni, pea hoko fakafokifā ai ʻae ʻaho ko ia kiate kimoutolu.
But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:
35 Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko e hele kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani fulipē.
For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.
36 Ko ia mou leʻo, pea lotu maʻuaipē, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻaonga ke hao mei he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻe hoko, pea ke tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata.”
But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.
37 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻi he falelotu lahi; pea ʻi he pō, naʻa ne ʻalu kituaʻā ʻo nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive.
And every day he was teaching in the Temple and every night he went out to the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives to take his rest.
38 Pea naʻe haʻu hengihengi ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
And all the people came early in the morning to give ear to his words in the Temple.
