Luke 21
1 Looking up He saw the people throwing their gifts into the Treasury--the rich people.
atha dhanilōkā bhāṇḍāgārē dhanaṁ nikṣipanti sa tadēva paśyati,
2 He also saw a poor widow dropping in two farthings,
ētarhi kāciddīnā vidhavā paṇadvayaṁ nikṣipati tad dadarśa|
3 and He said, "In truth I tell you that this widow, so poor, has thrown in more than any of them.
tatō yīśuruvāca yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, daridrēyaṁ vidhavā sarvvēbhyōdhikaṁ nyakṣēpsīt,
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."
yatōnyē svaprājyadhanēbhya īśvarāya kiñcit nyakṣēpsuḥ, kintu daridrēyaṁ vidhavā dinayāpanārthaṁ svasya yat kiñcit sthitaṁ tat sarvvaṁ nyakṣēpsīt|
5 When some were remarking about the Temple, how it was embellished with beautiful stones and dedicated gifts, He said,
aparañca uttamaprastarairutsr̥ṣṭavyaiśca mandiraṁ suśōbhatētarāṁ kaiścidityuktē sa pratyuvāca
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."
yūyaṁ yadidaṁ nicayanaṁ paśyatha, asya pāṣāṇaikōpyanyapāṣāṇōpari na sthāsyati, sarvvē bhūsādbhaviṣyanti kālōyamāyāti|
7 "Rabbi, when will this be?" they asked Him, "and what will be the token given when these things are about to take place?"
tadā tē papracchuḥ, hē gurō ghaṭanēdr̥śī kadā bhaviṣyati? ghaṭanāyā ētasyasaścihnaṁ vā kiṁ bhaviṣyati?
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.
tadā sa jagāda, sāvadhānā bhavata yathā yuṣmākaṁ bhramaṁ kōpi na janayati, khīṣṭōhamityuktvā mama nāmrā bahava upasthāsyanti sa kālaḥ prāyēṇōpasthitaḥ, tēṣāṁ paścānmā gacchata|
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."
yuddhasyōpaplavasya ca vārttāṁ śrutvā mā śaṅkadhvaṁ, yataḥ prathamam ētā ghaṭanā avaśyaṁ bhaviṣyanti kintu nāpātē yugāntō bhaviṣyati|
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
aparañca kathayāmāsa, tadā dēśasya vipakṣatvēna dēśō rājyasya vipakṣatvēna rājyam utthāsyati,
11 And there will be great earthquakes, and in places famines and pestilence; and there will be terrible sights and wonderful tokens from Heaven.
nānāsthānēṣu mahābhūkampō durbhikṣaṁ mārī ca bhaviṣyanti, tathā vyōmamaṇḍalasya bhayaṅkaradarśanānyaścaryyalakṣaṇāni ca prakāśayiṣyantē|
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.
kintu sarvvāsāmētāsāṁ ghaṭanānāṁ pūrvvaṁ lōkā yuṣmān dhr̥tvā tāḍayiṣyanti, bhajanālayē kārāyāñca samarpayiṣyanti mama nāmakāraṇād yuṣmān bhūpānāṁ śāsakānāñca sammukhaṁ nēṣyanti ca|
13 In the end all this will be evidence of your fidelity.
sākṣyārtham ētāni yuṣmān prati ghaṭiṣyantē|
14 "Make up your minds, however, not to prepare a defence beforehand,
tadā kimuttaraṁ vaktavyam ētat na cintayiṣyāma iti manaḥsu niścitanuta|
15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to withstand or reply to.
vipakṣā yasmāt kimapyuttaram āpattiñca karttuṁ na śakṣyanti tādr̥śaṁ vākpaṭutvaṁ jñānañca yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyāmi|
16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, friends; and some of you they will put to death.
kiñca yūyaṁ pitrā mātrā bhrātrā bandhunā jñātyā kuṭumbēna ca parakarēṣu samarpayiṣyadhvē; tatastē yuṣmākaṁ kañcana kañcana ghātayiṣyanti|
17 You will be the objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name;
mama nāmnaḥ kāraṇāt sarvvai rmanuṣyai ryūyam r̥tīyiṣyadhvē|
18 and yet not a hair of your heads shall perish.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ śiraḥkēśaikōpi na vinaṁkṣyati,
19 By your patient endurance you will purchase your lives.
tasmādēva dhairyyamavalambya svasvaprāṇān rakṣata|
20 "But when you see Jerusalem with armies encamping round her on every side, then be certain that her overthrow is close at hand.
aparañca yirūśālampuraṁ sainyavēṣṭitaṁ vilōkya tasyōcchinnatāyāḥ samayaḥ samīpa ityavagamiṣyatha|
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.
tadā yihūdādēśasthā lōkāḥ parvvataṁ palāyantāṁ, yē ca nagarē tiṣṭhanti tē dēśāntaraṁ palāyantā, yē ca grāmē tiṣṭhanti tē nagaraṁ na praviśantu,
22 For those are the days of vengeance and of fulfilling all that is written.
yatastadā samucitadaṇḍanāya dharmmapustakē yāni sarvvāṇi likhitāni tāni saphalāni bhaviṣyanti|
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.
kintu yā yāstadā garbhavatyaḥ stanyadāvyaśca tāmāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati, yata ētāllōkān prati kōpō dēśē ca viṣamadurgati rghaṭiṣyatē|
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.
vastutastu tē khaṅgadhāraparivvaṅgaṁ lapsyantē baddhāḥ santaḥ sarvvadēśēṣu nāyiṣyantē ca kiñcānyadēśīyānāṁ samayōpasthitiparyyantaṁ yirūśālampuraṁ taiḥ padatalai rdalayiṣyatē|
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;
sūryyacandranakṣatrēṣu lakṣaṇādi bhaviṣyanti, bhuvi sarvvadēśīyānāṁ duḥkhaṁ cintā ca sindhau vīcīnāṁ tarjanaṁ garjanañca bhaviṣyanti|
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.
bhūbhau bhāvighaṭanāṁ cintayitvā manujā bhiyāmr̥takalpā bhaviṣyanti, yatō vyōmamaṇḍalē tējasvinō dōlāyamānā bhaviṣyanti|
27 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and glory.
tadā parākramēṇā mahātējasā ca mēghārūḍhaṁ manuṣyaputram āyāntaṁ drakṣyanti|
28 But when all this is beginning to take place, grieve no longer. Lift up your heads, because your deliverance is drawing near."
kintvētāsāṁ ghaṭanānāmārambhē sati yūyaṁ mastakānyuttōlya ūrdadhvaṁ drakṣyatha, yatō yuṣmākaṁ muktēḥ kālaḥ savidhō bhaviṣyati|
29 And He spoke a parable to them. "See," He said, "the fig-tree and all the trees.
tatastēnaitadr̥ṣṭāntakathā kathitā, paśyata uḍumbarādivr̥kṣāṇāṁ
30 As soon as they have shot out their leaves, you know at a glance that summer is now near.
navīnapatrāṇi jātānīti dr̥ṣṭvā nidāvakāla upasthita iti yathā yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śaknutha,
31 So also, when you see these things happening, you may be sure that the Kingdom of God is near.
tathā sarvvāsāmāsāṁ ghaṭanānām ārambhē dr̥ṣṭē satīśvarasya rājatvaṁ nikaṭam ityapi jñāsyatha|
32 I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, vidyamānalōkānāmēṣāṁ gamanāt pūrvvam ētāni ghaṭiṣyantē|
33 Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
nabhōbhuvōrlōpō bhaviṣyati mama vāk tu kadāpi luptā na bhaviṣyati|
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;
ataēva viṣamāśanēna pānēna ca sāṁmārikacintābhiśca yuṣmākaṁ cittēṣu mattēṣu taddinam akasmād yuṣmān prati yathā nōpatiṣṭhati tadarthaṁ svēṣu sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata|
35 for it will come on all dwellers on the face of the whole earth.
pr̥thivīsthasarvvalōkān prati taddinam unmātha iva upasthāsyati|
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."
yathā yūyam ētadbhāvighaṭanā uttarttuṁ manujasutasya sammukhē saṁsthātuñca yōgyā bhavatha kāraṇādasmāt sāvadhānāḥ santō nirantaraṁ prārthayadhvaṁ|
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.
aparañca sa divā mandira upadiśya rācai jaitunādriṁ gatvātiṣṭhat|
38 And all the people came to Him in the Temple, early in the morning, to listen to Him.
tataḥ pratyūṣē lākāstatkathāṁ śrōtuṁ mandirē tadantikam āgacchan|
