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].
En opziende, zag Hij de rijken hun gaven in de schatkist werpen.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
En Hij zag ook een zekere arme weduwe twee kleine penningen daarin werpen.
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.”
En Hij zeide: Waarlijk, Ik zeg u, dat deze arme weduwe meer dan allen heeft ingeworpen.
Want die allen hebben van hun overvloed geworpen tot de gaven Gods; maar deze heeft van haar gebrek, al den leeftocht, dien zij had, daarin geworpen.
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,
En als sommigen zeiden van den tempel, dat hij met schone stenen en begiftigingen versierd was, zeide Hij:
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.”
Wat deze dingen aangaat, die gij aanschouwt, er zullen dagen komen, in welke niet een steen op den anderen steen zal gelaten worden, die niet zal worden afgebroken.
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?”
En zij vraagden Hem, zeggende: Meester, wanneer zullen dan deze dingen zijn, en welk is het teken, wanneer deze dingen zullen geschieden?
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]
En Hij zeide: Ziet, dat gij niet verleid wordt; want velen zullen er komen onder Mijn Naam, zeggende: Ik ben de Christus; en de tijd is nabij gekomen, gaat dan hen niet na.
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!”
En wanneer gij zult horen van oorlogen en beroerten, zo wordt niet verschrikt; want deze dingen moeten eerst geschieden; maar nog is terstond het einde niet.
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Toen zeide Hij tot hen: Het ene volk zal tegen het andere volk opstaan, en het ene koninkrijk tegen het andere koninkrijk.
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.
En er zullen grote aardbevingen wezen in verscheidene plaatsen, en hongersnoden, en pestilentien; er zullen ook schrikkelijke dingen, en grote tekenen van den hemel geschieden.
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].
Maar voor dit alles, zullen zij hun handen aan ulieden slaan, en u vervolgen, u overleverende in de synagogen en gevangenissen; en gij zult getrokken worden voor koningen en stadhouders, om Mijns Naams wil.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
En dit zal u overkomen tot een getuigenis.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Neemt dan in uw harten voor, van te voren niet te overdenken, hoe gij u verantwoorden zult;
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).
Want Ik zal u mond en wijsheid geven, welke niet zullen kunnen tegenspreken, noch wederstaan allen, die zich tegen u zetten.
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.
En gij zult overgeleverd worden ook van ouders, en broeders, en magen, en vrienden; en zij zullen er sommigen uit u doden.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
En gij zult van allen gehaat worden om Mijns Naams wil.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Doch niet een haar uit uw hoofd zal verloren gaan.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
Bezit uw zielen in uw lijdzaamheid.
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]}.
Maar wanneer gij zien zult, dat Jeruzalem van heirlegers omsingeld wordt, zo weet alsdan, dat haar verwoesting nabij gekomen is.
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].
Alsdan die in Judea zijn, dat zij vlieden naar de bergen; en die in het midden van dezelve zijn, dat zij daaruit trekken; en die op de velden zijn, dat zij in dezelve niet komen.
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].
Want deze zijn dagen der wraak, opdat alles vervuld worde, dat geschreven is.
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].
Doch wee den bevruchten en den zogenden vrouwen in die dagen, want er zal grote nood zijn in het land, en toorn over dit volk.
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.”
En zij zullen vallen door de scherpte des zwaards, en gevankelijk weggevoerd worden onder alle volken; en Jeruzalem zal van de heidenen vertreden worden, totdat de tijden der heidenen vervuld zullen zijn.
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.
En er zullen tekenen zijn in de zon, en maan, en sterren, en op de aarde benauwdheid der volken met twijfelmoedigheid, als de zee en watergolven groot geluid zullen geven;
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}.
En den mensen het hart zal bezwijken van vrees en verwachting der dingen, die het aardrijk zullen overkomen; want de krachten der hemelen zullen bewogen worden.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
En alsdan zullen zij den Zoon des mensen zien komen in een wolk, met grote kracht en heerlijkheid.
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].”
Als nu deze dingen beginnen te geschieden, zo ziet omhoog, en heft uw hoofden opwaarts, omdat uw verlossing nabij is.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
En Hij zeide tot hen een gelijkenis: Ziet den vijgeboom, en al de bomen.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Wanneer zij nu uitspruiten, en gij dat ziet, zo weet gij uit uzelven, dat de zomer nu nabij is.
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.
Alzo ook gij, wanneer gij deze dingen zult zien geschieden, zo weet, dat het Koninkrijk Gods nabij is.
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.
Voorwaar Ik zeg u, dat dit geslacht geenszins zal voorbijgaan, totdat alles zal geschied zijn.
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.”
De hemel en de aarde zullen voorbijgaan, maar Mijn woorden zullen geenszins voorbijgaan.
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].
En wacht uzelven, dat uw harten niet te eniger tijd bezwaard worden met brasserij en dronkenschap, en zorgvuldigheden dezes levens, en dat u die dag niet onvoorziens over kome.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Want gelijk een strik zal hij komen over al degenen, die op den gansen aardbodem gezeten zijn.
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.”
Waakt dan te aller tijd, biddende, dat gij moogt waardig geacht worden te ontvlieden al deze dingen, die geschieden zullen, en te staan voor den Zoon des mensen.
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.
Des daags nu was Hij lerende in den tempel; maar des nachts ging Hij uit, en vernachtte op den berg, genaamd den Olijf berg.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
En al het volk kwam des morgens vroeg tot Hem in den tempel, om Hem te horen.
