< Luke 21 >

1 [Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
Yesu fiya iyizi ayene kitene kani anin yene anan nikurfunghe din nizun usadaka mine nanya kukuzenghe.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
A yene umon uwani na ulese wa ku adin ti nikubu iba nanya kukuzunghe.
3 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.”
Anin woro, “Kidegene mbelen minu, ule uwanin derun lese inta vat a kata anit ane.
4
Vat mene wani nanya nigbardan ile na idimun. Bara nani ule uwanin salin lese, wani nanya likimun me, vat nikurfun mere a wanutun.
5 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,
Nafo na amon waliru kutii nlira, nafo na ma kye nin natala acine nin sadaka, a woro,
6 “[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.”
“Bara ile imune na idin yenju, ayiri ba dak na ima sunu nlon litala kitene nlong na ima sali sa uturne ba.”
7 [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?”
Bara nani itiringhe, I woro, “Kumallami, nin shiyari ile imone ba ti?”
8 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]
Yesu kawa, “Yenjen umon wada rusuzu minu Bara anit gbardan ba dak nin lisa ning, I din belu, 'Mere ame,' 'Kuben ndaa susut.' Na i wa dufin nani ba.
9 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!”
I wa lanza ubelen likum nin fizu nayi, na I wa lanza fiu ba, bara na ile imone ma dak nin burne, nara nani na liganghe nsa da ba.”
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Akuru a woro nani, “Nmgiin ma su likum nin umong nmgiin, kipin tigoo nin kan kipin tigoo.
11 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.
Kutyene ma zullunu kang, nin nite gbardan kukpan ma yitu nin nijase tekanu tididya. Adadu fiyu ma yitu nin nalap adidya kitene kani.
12 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].
Bara nani makin ile imoone vat, ima ti minu acara iti minu ayiasirne, ima du nin ghinu nanya ni larin nlira nin nilari licin, I ma du nin ghinu ubun tigoo nin nbun na gumna bara lisa ning.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Uba soo kube na iba belu imoon icine ile na Kutelle nsuu minu.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Bara nani keleng nibinai mine na ima kesuzu ati mine udu kuni kube ba.
15 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).
Bara na nba ni minu tigbulan nin kujinjin, na vat anan nari mine wasa ita mayardan ku sa I kpiliya umon uleru ba.
16 [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.
Bara nani acef, nwana, adondon nin nakura ma nakpu minu, ima ti among mine ikuzu.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
Ima nari minu bara lisa ning.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Bara nani na liti titi mine lirum ma wulu ba.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
Nenyan nteru nibinai mine I ba se imon kitene tilai mine.
20 “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]}.
I wa yene ikilino Urshalima nin nasoja, yinnong unanzwe nda susut.
21 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].
Na ale na idin Yahudiya cum udu kitene natala, ale na idi nanya kipine kitik nuzu, na I wa yining a le na idi tikauye piru ba.
22 [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].
Bara na ale ayire an tunjuari, bara vat ni lee imon na ma yertin kulo.
23 [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].
Kash nawani ale na idin nin naburi kumat nin nalee na idin mazinu nono nanya na yiri ane! Bara na ijasi idya ma yitu nmgine, niin tinana nayi udu anite.
24 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.”
Imanin mulsu nani nin kusangali ima soo alin nanyan nmgene vat, awurmi ma patilu Urshalima udu kubin kulu na wurmi.
25 “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.
Kulap ma yitun nwui, nanyan mpoi, nin nanya niyinin, nin kitene nyii, nin puyu nati nmgen, nany nlazu fiyu ngurzunu na rawa adidya nin fune.
26 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}.
Anit ma kuzu ifiliza bara fuyu inca nimon ile na idin cinu kitene nyii. Bara na likara kitene kani ma zulunu.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
I ba nin yenu Gono nnit din cinu nanya na wut nin likara nin zazu udya.
28 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].”
Bara nani ile imoone nwa cizin, fitan iyisin, inin ghantin ati mine, bara na utucu mine nda duru susut.”
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Yesu benle nani tiwankari, “Yenen kuca kupul nin nace vat,
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
I wa yene kuca kupul ngutuna afa apese din tilu I yino bara ate mine au kubi kusik nda susut.
31 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.
Nanere, I wa yene ile imoone din dasu, yinong au kipin tigoo Kutelle nda susut.
32 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.
Kidegene, mbelinminu, na ko kuje a katu ba, se imoon ilelee nkulo vat.
33 [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.”
Kitene kane nin nmgen ma katu vat, bara nani na ligbulan lirum nanya nlirunighe ma katu ba.
34 “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].
Bara nani, dinjan atuf nati mine, bara na nibinai mine wati getek nin na dadu ananzang, inyeu mso na dadu ahem, nin kpilizun nliru nyii, bara na lere wada muu minu,
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
nafo libarda, bara na lima dak liti na nit vat nanan nlai na idi nanya inyii ulele.
36 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.”
Bara nani, Punon iyizi vat kubi idin tizun nlira bara inan se agan kang inan cuo ile imoone na ima dak, inin yisin mbun Gono nit.”
37 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.
Kubi ko na awadin dusuzu nanya kutii nlira nin kitwik a nuzu udas, anin moro kiten nlon litala na idin yicu litalan Zaitun.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
Anite vat da nin koi dindin inan lanzaghe nanya kutii nlira.
