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].
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
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.”
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,
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.”
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?”
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]
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!”
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
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.
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].
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
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).
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.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
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]}.
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].
…luchd bhías ann a lar, imthigheadh said aisde; agus an dream bhías ar na machairidhibh ná héirgheadh síad a sdeach innte.
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].
Oír a said so láeithe an dioghaltuis, ionnus go gcoimhlionfuidhthe na huile neithe atá sgríobhtha.
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].
Agus budh trúagh do ná mnáibh bhías torrach, agus ag oileamhuinn ann sna láethibh úd! oír bíaidh riachdanas romhór ann sa dúithche, agus fearg ris an bpobalsa.
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.”
Agus tuitfid lé faobhar an chloidhimh, agus béarthar a mbraighdeanas íad chum na nuile chinidheach: agus bhíadh Iarúsalém ar na saltairt fáoi a Cineadhachaibh, nó go gcoimhlíontar aimsearacha na Geinidheach.
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.
Agus béid comharthuighe ann sa ngréin, agus ann sa ngealuigh, agus ann sna réultannuibh: agus combrúghadh na gcinidheach ar an dtalamh, tré úathbhás; ag buirfigh don fhairge agus do na tonnuibh;
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}.
Agus racha a nanam as na dáoinibh tré eagla, agus tré bheith ag feitheamh ris na neithibh thiocfas ar an domhan: oír croithathear cumhachda neimhe.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Agus ann sin do chifid Mac an duine ag teachd a néull maille lé cumhachda agus lé glóir mhóir.
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].”
Agus an tan thionnsgóntar na neithesi do dhéanamh, féachuidh súas, agus togbhaidh bhár gcinn; óir is fogus dáoibh bhar bhfúasgladh.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Agus a dubhairt sé an chosamhlachdsa ríu; Féachaigh an crann fige, agus na huile chrann;
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
An tan sgeithid a nduilleabhar, air na fhaicsin dáoibhsi aitheantáoi úaibh féin gur fogus an samhradh ann sin.
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.
Is mar sin dáoibhsi, an tan do chífí na neithesi déanta, bíodh a fhíos aguibh gur ab fogus atá rioghachd Dé.
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.
A deirim ribh go fírinneach, Nach racha an dínisi thort, nó go ndéantar na neithesi uile.
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.”
Rachaidh neamh agus talamh thort: achd ní rachaid mó bhriathrasa thort go bráth.
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].
Achd tabhruidh bhur naire dhíbh féin, deagla go mbíadh sibh tromchroidh theach úair ar bith í chráos, agus ó mheisge, agus ó rochúramuibh na beathasa, agus go dtiochfadh an lá úd go hobann oraibh.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Oir tiocfa sé mar dhul ar na huile dháoine dá náitrigheann ar úachdar na talmhan uile.
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.”
Ar a nadhbharsin déanuidh faire, ag guidho gach uile uair, ionnus go rucasfuigh gur fiú sibh dul as ó na neithibhsi uile atá chum teachda, agus go seasmhóchadh sibh a bhfiadhnuisi Mhic an duine.
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.
Agus do bhíodh sé teagasg sa ló ann sa teampeall; achd ann san noidhche ar nimtheachd dó amach, do chomhnuigheadh sé ar a tslíabh dá ngoirthear slíabh na Noluidheadh.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
Agus do thigeadh an pobal uile chuige go moch air maidin, déisdeachd ris ann sa teampall.
