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].
Och han såg till, aktandes på huru de rike lade sina gåfvor uti offerkistona.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
Så fick han ock se ena fattiga enko, som lade der två skärfvar in.
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.”
Och han sade: Sannerliga säger jag eder: Denna fattiga enkan lade mer in, än alle de andre;
Ty de hafva alle inlagt, till Guds offer, af det dem till öfverlopps är; men hon hafver, af sin fattigdom, inlagt allt det hon ägde.
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,
Och då somlige sade om templet, att det var prydt med härliga stenar och klenodier, sade han:
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.”
De dagar varda kommande, att utaf allt, det I sen, skall icke låtas sten uppå sten, den icke skall afbruten varda.
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?”
Då frågade de honom, och sade: Mästar, när skall detta ske? Och hvad tecken är, när detta ske skall?
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]
Sade han: Ser till, att I icke varden förförde; ty månge skola komma under mitt Namn, och säga: Jag äret; och tiden instundar. Följer dem icke efter.
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!”
Men när I hören örlig och uppror, varer icke förfärade; ty sådant måste först ske, men det är icke straxt änden.
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Och han sade till dem: Folk skall resa sig upp emot folk, och rike emot rike.
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.
Och stor jordbäfning skall varda mångastäds, och hunger, och pestilentier; och förskräckelse, och stor tecken skola ske utaf himmelen.
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].
Men för allt detta skola de taga fatt på eder, och förfölja eder och öfverantvarda eder in på sin Råd, och i häktelse; dragande eder för Konungar och Förstar, för mitt Namns skull.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Och det skall eder vederfaras till ett vittnesbörd.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Så håller det fast uti edor hjerta, att I ingen omsorg hafven, huru I skolen försvara eder;
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).
Ty jag skall gifva eder mun och visdom, der alle de, som sätta sig emot eder, icke skola kunna emotsäga, ej heller emotstå.
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.
I skolen ock öfverantvardas af föräldrar, och af bröder, fränder och vänner; och de skola döda somliga af eder.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
Och I skolen varda hatade af allom, för mitt Namns skull;
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Och ett hår af edart hufvud skall icke förgås.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
I skolen behålla edra själar genom edart tålamod.
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]}.
När I nu sen, att Jerusalem varder belagdt med en här, då skolen I veta, att dess förödelse är för handen.
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].
De då äro i Judeen, de fly upp åt bergen; och de der midt inne äro, de gånge ut; och de som ute i landet äro, de gånge icke derin;
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].
Ty att då äro hämndadagarne, att fullbordas skall allt det som skrifvet är.
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].
Men ve dem som hafvande äro, och dem som dia gifva i de dagar; ty stor plåga varder på jordene, och vrede öfver detta folk.
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.”
Och de skola falla för svärdsegg, och fångne bortförde varda till allahanda folk; och Jerusalem skall förtrampadt varda af Hedningom, tilldess Hedningarnes tid fullkomnad varder.
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.
Och skola ske tecken i solen, och i månan, och i stjernorna; och på jordene varder folkena ångest, och de skola förtvifla. Och hafvet och vågen skola mycket bullra;
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}.
Och menniskorna borttorkas, för räddhågas skull, deraf att de förbida det som hela verldena öfvergå skall; ty himmelens krafter skola bäfva.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Och då skola de få se menniskones Son komma i skyn, med magt och stora härlighet.
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].”
Men då detta begynner ske, ser upp, och lyfter edor hufvud upp; ty då nalkas edor förlossning.
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Och han sade dem en liknelse: Ser på fikonaträt och all trä.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
När de nu knoppas, kunnen I då se och veta af eder sjelf, att sommaren är när.
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.
Alltså ock I, när I sen detta ske, skolen I veta, att Guds rike är när.
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.
Sannerliga säger jag eder: Detta slägtet skall icke förgås, förr än det allt skedt är.
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.”
Himmel och jord skola förgås; men min ord skola icke förgås.
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].
Men vakter eder, att edor hjerta icke förtungad varda med svalg och dryckenskap, och med detta lefvernes omsorg, så att den dagen kommer eder för hastigt uppå.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Ty han varder kommandes, såsom en snara, öfver alla som bo på jordene.
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.”
Så vaker nu alltid, och beder, att I mågen undfly allt detta som komma skall, och stå för menniskones Son.
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.
Och han lärde om dagen i templet; men om natten gick han ut, och vistades på Oljoberget.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
Och allt folket var bittida uppe till honom i templet, till att höra honom.
