Luke 21
1 Looking up He saw the people throwing their gifts into the Treasury--the rich people.
αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
2 He also saw a poor widow dropping in two farthings,
ειδεν δε τινα και χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
3 and He said, "In truth I tell you that this widow, so poor, has thrown in more than any of them.
και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
4 For from what they could well spare they have all of them contributed to the offerings, but she in her need has thrown in all she had to live on."
απαντες γαρ ουτοι εκ του περισσευοντος αυτοις εβαλον εις τα δωρα του θεου αυτη δε εκ του υστερηματος αυτης απαντα τον βιον ον ειχεν εβαλεν
5 When some were remarking about the Temple, how it was embellished with beautiful stones and dedicated gifts, He said,
και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
6 "As to these things which you now admire, the time is coming when there will not be one stone left here upon another which will not be pulled down."
ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται
7 "Rabbi, when will this be?" they asked Him, "and what will be the token given when these things are about to take place?"
επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
8 "See to it," He replied, "that you are not misled; for many will come assuming my name and professing, 'I am He,' or saying, 'The time is close at hand.' Do not go and follow them.
ο δε ειπεν βλεπετε μη πλανηθητε πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες οτι εγω ειμι και ο καιρος ηγγικεν μη ουν πορευθητε οπισω αυτων
9 But when you hear of wars and turmoils, be not afraid; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."
οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
11 And there will be great earthquakes, and in places famines and pestilence; and there will be terrible sights and wonderful tokens from Heaven.
σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι κατα τοπους και λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και σημεια απ ουρανου μεγαλα εσται
12 "But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.
προ δε τουτων παντων επιβαλουσιν εφ υμας τας χειρας αυτων και διωξουσιν παραδιδοντες εις συναγωγας και φυλακας αγομενους επι βασιλεις και ηγεμονας ενεκεν του ονοματος μου
13 In the end all this will be evidence of your fidelity.
αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
14 "Make up your minds, however, not to prepare a defence beforehand,
θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to withstand or reply to.
εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, friends; and some of you they will put to death.
παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και συγγενων και φιλων και αδελφων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
17 You will be the objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name;
και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
18 and yet not a hair of your heads shall perish.
και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
19 By your patient endurance you will purchase your lives.
εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
20 "But when you see Jerusalem with armies encamping round her on every side, then be certain that her overthrow is close at hand.
οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
21 Then let those who shall be in Judaea escape to the hills; let those who are in the city leave it, and those who are in the country not enter in.
τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη και οι εν μεσω αυτης εκχωρειτωσαν και οι εν ταις χωραις μη εισερχεσθωσαν εις αυτην
22 For those are the days of vengeance and of fulfilling all that is written.
οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πλησθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
23 "Alas for the women who at that time are with child or who have infants; for there will be great distress in the land, and anger towards this People.
ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις εσται γαρ αναγκη μεγαλη επι της γης και οργη εν τω λαω τουτω
24 They will fall by the sword, or be carried off into slavery among all the Gentiles. And Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles, till the appointed times of the Gentiles have expired.
και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρας και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εις παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
25 "There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on earth anguish among the nations in their bewilderment at the roaring of the sea and its billows;
και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροις και επι της γης συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσης θαλασσης και σαλου
26 while men's hearts are fainting for fear, and for anxious expectation of what is coming on the world. For the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
27 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and glory.
και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
28 But when all this is beginning to take place, grieve no longer. Lift up your heads, because your deliverance is drawing near."
αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων
29 And He spoke a parable to them. "See," He said, "the fig-tree and all the trees.
και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
30 As soon as they have shot out their leaves, you know at a glance that summer is now near.
οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
31 So also, when you see these things happening, you may be sure that the Kingdom of God is near.
ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
32 I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
33 Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
34 "But take heed to yourselves, lest your souls be weighed down with self-indulgence and drunkenness or the anxieties of this life, and that day come upon you, suddenly, like a falling trap;
προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
35 for it will come on all dwellers on the face of the whole earth.
ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
36 But beware of slumbering; and every moment pray that you may be fully strengthened to escape from all these coming evils, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man."
αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
37 His habit at this time was to teach in the Temple by day, but to go out and spend the night on the Mount called the Oliveyard.
ην δε τας ημερας εν τω ιερω διδασκων τας δε νυκτας εξερχομενος ηυλιζετο εις το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων
38 And all the people came to Him in the Temple, early in the morning, to listen to Him.
και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
