Luke 21
1 Looking around, Jesus watched rich people putting their gifts into the collection box.
Yesu te asɔredan mu hɔ no, ɔhunuu asikafoɔ bi a wɔde wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ akɛseakɛseɛ regu afɔrebɔ adaka no mu.
2 He also saw a very poor widow put in two small coins.
Ɔhunuu okunafoɔ hiani bi nso sɛ ɔde sika kakra bi too afɔdeɛ adaka no mu.
3 “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipa a na wɔwɔ asɔredan mu hɔ no sɛ, “Nokorɛ mu, afɔdeɛ a okunafoɔ hiani yi bɛbɔeɛ no som bo sene afɔdeɛ akɛseakɛseɛ a asikafoɔ no bɛbɔeɛ no nyinaa.
4 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty all she had to live on.”
Wɔn nyinaa de deɛ wɔanya ama aboro so no bi na ɛbɛbɔɔ afɔdeɛ, na yei deɛ, ɔfiri ne hia mu de ne sika a ɔwɔ nyinaa na abɛgu mu yi.”
5 Some of those there were talking about the Temple, its fine stonework and the beautiful gifts that had been donated. But Jesus said,
Yesu akyidifoɔ no bi kamfoo aboɔ fɛfɛ a wɔde sii asɔredan no ne adwinneɛ ahodoɔ a wɔadi agu ɛdan no ho no. Nanso, Yesu kaa sɛ,
6 “Regarding these things you're looking at… The time is coming when not one stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed!”
“Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, wɔbɛdwiri nneɛma a morekamfo yi nyinaa agu a hwee renka.”
7 “Teacher, when will this happen?” they asked him. “What will be the sign that these things are about to happen?”
Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, berɛ bɛn na asɛm a woreka yi bɛsi, na ɛho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛyɛ sɛn?”
8 “Make sure you're not deceived,” Jesus warned them. “Many people will come claiming to be me, saying, ‘Here I am!’ and, ‘The time has come!’ but don't follow them.
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie na obi annaadaa mo, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa pii bɛsɔre aka sɛ, ‘Mene Kristo no’ na ɛberɛ no abɛn, nanso monnnye wɔn nni!
9 When you hear of wars and revolutions, don't be frightened, because these things have to happen first, but the end won't come immediately.
Sɛ mote akokoakoko ne sɛ wɔsɔre tia aman a, monnsuro ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ saa nneɛma yi di ɛkan ba nanso na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ awieeɛ no abɛn.”
10 Nation will fight nation, and kingdom will fight kingdom,” he told them.
Ɔkaa bio sɛ, “Aman bɛsɔre aman so na ahennie asɔre ahennie so.
11 “There will be severe earthquakes, famines, and epidemic diseases in many lands, and extraordinary signs in the sky that are terrifying.
Asasewosoɔ a ɛyɛ hu bɛba, ɛkɔm bɛba na nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu bɛfiri ewiem asisi.
12 But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will drag you before synagogues and throw you into prison, and put you on trial before kings and governors on account of me.
“Nanso, ansa na yeinom nyinaa bɛsisi no, me din enti, wɔbɛtaa mo akyekye mo, de mo akɔ hyiadan mu ne afiase ne ahemfo ne atumfoɔ anim.
13 But this will provide you an opportunity to speak on my behalf before them.
Yei bɛma moanya ɛkwan adi me ho adanseɛ.
14 So make up your mind beforehand not to worry about how to defend yourselves,
Nanso, monnnwene nsɛm a mobɛka de ayi mo ho ano no ho;
15 for I will give you words of wisdom that your enemies won't be able to dispute or contradict.
Ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma mo nsɛm ne nyansa a mode bɛyi mo ho ano a mo atamfoɔ rentumi nnyina mo anim.
16 You will be betrayed even by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will kill some of you.
Mo awofoɔ, mo nuanom, mo abusuafoɔ ne mo nnamfonom bɛyi mo ama na wɔbɛkum mo mu bi.
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
Na me enti, nnipa bɛtan mo.
18 But not a single hair of your head will be lost.
Nanso, mo tirinwi baako pɛ mpo renyera.
19 By standing firm you will gain your lives.
Na sɛ motumi gyina pintinn a, mobɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ.”
20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.
“Sɛ mohunu sɛ asraafoɔ atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ne sɛeɛ abɛn.
21 Those who are in Judea should run away to the mountains, and those who are in Jerusalem should leave, and those who are the countryside shouldn't enter the city.
Saa ɛberɛ no wɔn a wɔte Yudea nnwane nkɔ mmepɔ no so; wɔn a wɔwɔ kuro no mu no nnwane mfiri mu, na wɔn nso a wɔwɔ nkuraase ne mfuom no ntena hɔ ara.
22 For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.
Saa ɛberɛ yi mu na Onyankopɔn asotwe a adiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu no bɛba mu.
23 How hard it will be for those who are pregnant or nursing babies at that time! For terrible trouble is coming on the land and punishment against this people.
Wɔn a wɔafa afuro ne wɔn a wɔturu mma saa ɛberɛ no mu no nnue. Amanehunu a ɛnni kabea bɛba ɔman no so na Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ nso aba nnipa no so.
24 They will be killed by the sword and taken away as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trodden down by the foreign nations until their time is fulfilled.
Ebinom bɛtotɔ wɔ sekan ano na wɔafa ebinom nso nnommum de wɔn akɔ amanaman so na amanaman bɛsɛe Yerusalem, adi so akɔsi ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ sɛ amanaman nni wɔn so no bɛtwam.”
25 There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth the nations will be in distress, confused by the sea's rolling and crashing.
“Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɛba owia, ɔsrane ne nsoromma mu na ɛpo asorɔkye bɛbobom, aworo so ama ne nnyegyeeɛ denden no de ahoyera aba aman nyinaa so.
26 People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Esiane nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a ɛbɛba asase so no enti, nnipa pii bɛtotɔ bera na abɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ ewiem nso awoso ahoɔden so.
27 Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔde tumi ne animuonyam a ɛso nam omununkum mu reba.
28 But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”
Sɛ saa asɛm yi firi aseɛ sisi a, momfa gyidie nnyina pintinn, ɛfiri sɛ, na mo nkwagyeberɛ abɛn.”
29 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree, or any other kind of tree.
Yesu buu wɔn ɛbɛ bi sɛ, “Monhwɛ borɔdɔma ne nnua nyinaa.
30 When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
Sɛ ɛyiyi nhahan foforɔ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ osutɔberɛ aduru.
31 In the same way, when you see these things happening, you don't need to be told that God's kingdom is near.
Saa ara nso na sɛ mohunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a moreka ho asɛm yi a, monhunu sɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.
32 I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end before all this happens.
“Nokorɛ me se mo sɛ, awontoatoasoɔ yi rentwam, gye sɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa aba mu ansa.
33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my word will not.
Ɔsoro ne asase bɛtwam, nanso me nsɛm deɛ, ɛrentwam da.
34 Watch out that you don't become distracted by partying or getting drunk or by the worries of this life, so that this day catches you by surprise.
“Monhwɛ mo ho so yie! Mommma adiditrasoɔ ne nsãborɔ ne asetena mu dadwene nni mo so, anyɛ saa a, me ba a mɛba bio no bɛfu mo mu.
35 For this day will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
Ɛfiri sɛ, me ba a mɛba no bɛfu nnipa a wɔte asase so nyinaa mu.
36 Always keep watch and pray, so that you may be able to escape all that will happen and stand before the Son of man.”
Monwɛn. Ɛberɛ biara mommɔ mpaeɛ na moanya ahoɔden de agyina saa nneɛma yi nyinaa ano, na Onipa Ba no sane ba bio a, moatumi agyina nʼanim.”
37 Every day Jesus taught in the Temple, and every evening he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
Ɛda biara, na Yesu kɔ asɔredan mu hɔ kɔkyerɛkyerɛ, na sɛ ɛduru anwummerɛ biara a, Yesu kɔ Ngo Bepɔ no so kɔhome.
38 All the people came early in the morning to listen to him in the Temple.
Na nnipa pii sɔre anɔpahema biara kɔtie no wɔ asɔredan mu.
