Від Луки 21
1 Поглянувши ж добачив, як кидали дари свої в скарбону заможні.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Побачив же й одну вдовицю вбогу, що кидала туди дві лепти.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 І рече: Правдиво глаголю вам, що вдовиця вбога ся більш усїх укинула:
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 всі бо ті з достатку свого кидали у дари Божі, ся ж з недостатку свого увесь прожиток свій, що мала, вкинула.
5 І як деякі говорили про церкву, що каміннєм красним та посьвятами украшена, рече:
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 Із сього, що бачите, прийдуть днї, в котрі не зоставить ся камінь на камені, щоб не зруйновано.
“[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 Питали ж Його, кажучи: Учителю, коли ж се буде? й що за ознака коли се мав стати ся?
[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 Він же рече: Гледїть, щоб не була введені; многі бо прийдуть в імя моє, кажучи: Що се я. А час приближив ся; не йдіть же за вами.
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 Яв же почуєте про войни та ворохобнї, не полохайтесь; мусить бо перш се статись; тільки ж не зараз конець.
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 Тодї рече їм: Устане нарід на нарід і царство на царство,
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 і трус великий по місцях, і голоднеча, й помір буде, й страхи, й о-внаки з неба великі будуть.
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 Та перш того всього наложать на вас руки свої і гонити муть, видаючи в школи й темницї, і водячи перед царі та ігемони задля імя мого.
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 І станеть ж воно вам на сьвідкуваннє.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Постановіть же в серцях, ваших наперед, не готовитись відказувати:
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 я бо дам вам уста й премудрість, котрій не здолїють противитись, анї встояти усї противники ваші.
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 Будете ж видавані й від родителїв, і братів, і родини, й приятелїв; і вбивати муть деяких з вас.
[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 І будете ненавиджені від усіх задля імя мого.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Та й волосина з голови вашої не загине.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 У терпінню вашому осягнїть душі ваші.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 Як же побачите, що обгорнуто таборами Єрусалим, тоді знайте, що наближило ся спустїннє його.
“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 Тодї, хто в Юдеї, нехай біжять у гори; а хто в середині в йому, нехай виходять; а ті, що по селах, нехай не ввіходять у него.
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 Бо се днї мести, щоб справдилось усе написане.
[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 Горе ж важким і годуючим у ті днї! буде бо біда велика на землі, і гнів на народі сьому.
[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 І поляжуть від гострого меча, й позаймані будуть у полонь до всіх поган; і топтати муть Єрусалим погане, доки сповнять ся часи поган.
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 І будуть ознаки на сонцї, й місяці, й зорях, а на землї переполох народів у ваколотї; як зареве море та филї.
“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 І омертвіють люде від страху та дожидання того, що прийде на все-денну: сили бо небесні захитають ся.
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 І тодї побачять Сина чоловічого йдучого на хмарі з силою і славою великою.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Як же почне се діятись, випростуйтесь і підіймайте голови ваші; бо наближилось викупленнє ваше.
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 І сказав приповість їм: Бачте смоківницю і всякі дерева:
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Як розпукутоть ся вже, бачивши самі розумієте, що вже близько лїто.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Так і ви, коли побачите, як се станеть ся, знайте, що близько царство Боже.
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 Істино глаголи вам: Ще не перейде рід сей, доки все станеть ся.
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 Небо й земля перейде, слова ж мої не перейдуть.
[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 Остерегайте ся ж, щоб часом не обтягчились ваші серця прожорством та пянством, та журбою життя сього, й щоб несподівано на вас не настиг день той.
“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 Бо, як сітка, впаде на всіх, що живуть на лицї всієї землі.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Пильнуйте, по всяк час молячись, щоб удостоїли ся втекти від того всього, що має статись, і станути перед Сином чоловічим.
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 Навчав же днями в церкві, ночами ж виходячи, пробував на горі, званій Оливною.
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 Усї ж люде сходились рано до Него в церкву слухати Його.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
