Luke 21
1 Yesu zu ya da toh indji bi nklen ba si sru baiko ba,
Looking up He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasure chest.
2 Wa a toh iwa u kbo ani tiya kpukpu me, wa ji bubu ba ye ka you ni kagi.
But He also saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 A tre njanji mi hla yu'u, iwa u koh a zan yi.
So He said: “I tell you truly that this poor widow put in more than all of them;
4 indji biyi ba yo ni mi gbugbu u ba. Naki iwa u koh ni miyah ma ayo wawu ikpe di a he niwu.
because all these others put in gifts for God out of their abundance, but she, out of her destitution, put in all she had to live on.”
5 Bari ba tre ni tu tra Irji, yada ba mla tie bi ni tita ni baiko, A tre.
Then, as some were admiring the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,
6 Ikpi bi yi wa bi si toh, ivi ri ni ye wa tita ri na sun nitu ri na ba na grji ye ni meme'a na.
“These things that you see—the days will come in which not one stone will be left upon another that will not be thrown down.”
7 Ba mye, mala, kpi biyi ba ye ni tan? A ngye ni tsro ta inton wa kpi'a ba ti'a?
So they asked Him, saying: “Teacher, so when will these things be?” and “What will be the sign when these things are about to happen?”
8 Yesu ka hla ni bawu, mla ya, na du indrjo ye gyru yi na, gbugbu ba ye ninde mu, da tre ndi ame yi me wawu, u inton a tie whewhre, na hu ba na.
So He said: “Be careful, so as not to be deceived, because many will come in my name saying: ‘I am’ and ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore do not go after them.
9 Inde bi woh ba taku da ni tsi bi kana klu sissri na, ni mumla se kpi bi yi ba ye, u kle, gbugblu na ye zizan na.
But whenever you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; because these things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Wa a hla ni bawu, gbugblu ni lu ni tu gbugblu, mulki ni lu nitu mulki.
Then He said to them: “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Meme u gbugblu yi ani grju kagon, iyon ni tie ni gbugblu wawu, lilo ni ka gbugblu'a wawu. Ikpi bari ba grji rji shu da no sissri.
And there will be severe earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 Naki kpi biyi du ba ye, ba tsi yi da ti meme kpe ni yiwu, da zu yi ni tra Irji, ba vu yi sru ni brusuna, ba gbi yi hi ni ba chu, baba ngona, nitu inde mu.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name.
13 Ani he ijou tre.
But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
14 Na ri mre kpi wa bi tre ni koshi na,
So settle it in your hearts not to practice giving a defense beforehand;
15 Me mi no yi trre wa bi tre, di no imrre ndindi wa bi kra yi banaya krie ni yi na.
because I will give you a mouth and wisdom such that all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or withstand.
16 Ba ti bi, mri vayi, mla bi baba kpukpa bi ba tiyi yah da wu bari bi.
You will be betrayed even by parents and relatives, friends and ‘brothers’; and they will put some of you to death.
17 Ndji ba wawu bbawu ba kran yi ni tu inde mu.
And you will be hated by all because of my name.
18 Naki ko futu riri ni tubi na joku na.
(Not even one hair of your head will be wasted
19 Ni mi vu suron bi bi kpa re bi.
—you must secure your souls by your endurance.)
20 I hi toh soja ba kru wurushelima you ni tsutsu, bika toh ndi joku ma tie whewhre.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Biwa ba he ni Judiya du ba tsutsu hi ni gblu u bi wa ba he ni mi gbu ba ka don gbu'a u bi wa ba he ni ko rah gbu'a baka ba ri nimi gbu'a na.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let those who are in the city get out, and let those who are in the country not enter her.
22 Bi yi ba vi u rju hla, du kpe wa ba han duba kle.
Because these are days of vengeance, that all the written things may be fulfilled.
23 Iyah ba bi wa ba hei ne, ni bi no mri sisan ni toh kima, iya nihe ni gbu'a ni nfu ni tu ndji ba.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing babies in those days! There will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24 Inji gban ni kaba hle, ba vu ba kma tie gran ni gbungblu, biwa bana toh Irji na ba chan Wurushelima ni zah, se ivi u bi wa bana toh Irji na nikle
Yes, they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 Igban ni tsro ni Irji, ni wha kpan baba tsitsen, ni meme. Iya ni shu ni gbungblu, ni wrji kpukpa don yi man ni ne.
“There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, at the roaring and tossing of the sea;
26 Indji ba tie sissri da ta kukmo da ni gbie kpe wa basi ye ni gbungblu, gbengblen bi shu ba ta chu.
men fainting from fear and expectation of the things coming on the inhabited earth—because the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 U ba toh vren ndji ni ye ni mi kpalu ni gbengblen ni kikle daukaka ma.
Then they will see the Son of the Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Inde kpi bi yi basi ye, lunde krikrie ni nzu tumbi. Du ndji wa ni ye kpa yi chuwo a ye whewhre.
Now when these things begin to happen, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
29 Yesu tre nda ka yiyi ni bawu, yah kunkro indhu baba mbru kunkro ba.
Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30 Biyi ni tu bi bika toh ndi iga ati whewhre.
Whenever they are already budding, you see and know by yourselves that summer is now near.
31 Inde bi toh kpe biyi ba he na yi bi toh ndi iye Irji a tie whiwhre.
So you also, whenever you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
32 Njanji mi hla ni yiwu, i zan bi bana kle na se kpi bi yi ba ye.
I tell you assuredly, this generation will certainly not pass away until all has happened.
33 Shulu ni meme ba kle, ama itre ma na kle na.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 Sun ni ya cheme, na du suron mbi ni titan hi na so di wah du na he ni mre u tu mbina kana ye ka yi na troko na.
“But keep a watch on yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of life, and that Day come upon you suddenly.
35 A ni ye ni tu ndji bi gbungblu wawu
Because it will come like a trap upon all those who dwell on the surface of the whole earth.
36 Sun ni wri di ta bre chachu du yi he ni gbengblen ndi nawo ni kpi bi wa ba ye'a, wa bi kri ni kbu Vren Indji
So be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to happen and to stand before the Son of the Man.”
37 Ni nton kima, a si hla tre ni bawu ni tra Irji, ka rju nichu da ka sun ni bubu ri wa ba you ndi Olivet.
In the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called ‘of Olives.’
38 Indji ba rju gbugbun ni bubu ble ye ni woh wu ni tra Irji.
Then early in the morning all the people would come to Him in the temple to hear Him.
