Luka 21
1 Esi Yesu nɔ tsitre ɖe gbedoxɔ la me la, enɔ ŋku lém ɖe ale si kesinɔtɔwo le woƒe nunanawo dam ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me ŋu.
AND he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Ke ekpɔ ahosi dahe aɖe hã va, eye wòda pesewa eve ko ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 Yesu kpɔe dũu, eye wògblɔ be, “Mele egblɔm na mi nyateƒetɔe be ahosi dahe sia ƒe nunana sɔ gbɔ sãa wu nunalawo katã ƒe nunana.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 Elabena nenem ƒe ame siawo katã ƒe nunana la nye nu si wozã wòsusɔ la, ke ahosi dahe sia ya na nu si ŋu wòle be wòanɔ agbe ɖo la.”
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo nɔ nu ƒom le atsyɔ̃ gã si woɖo na gbedoxɔ la kple kpe nyuiwo ŋuti. Wokpɔ ŋudzedze le akpedanunana vovovo siwo ŋuti wokɔ hetsi wo ɖe gliawo ŋu la ŋu ŋutɔ.
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Ɣeyiɣi aɖe li gbɔna esime woagbã nu siwo kafum miele la. Woagbãe ale gbegbe be kpe ɖeka pɛ hã magasusɔ ɖe nɔvia dzi o. Woatu asi nu sia nu aƒu anyi.”
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Wo katã wodo ɣli biae be, “Aƒetɔ! Ɣe ka ɣi nu siawo ava eme? Dzesi kae ado ŋgɔ na nu siawo?”
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 Eɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mikpɔ nyuie be woagaflu mi o! Elabena ame geɖewo ava le nye ŋkɔ la dzi agblɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi’ eye ‘Ɣeyiɣi la ɖo vɔ.’ Migadze wo yome o.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9 Eye ne miese be aʋa dzɔ, eye ʋunyaʋunyawo hã dze egɔme la, dzidzi megaƒo mi o. Nyateƒe ele be nu siawo nava me gbã, gake nuwuwua mava enumake o.
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Elabena dukɔ atsi tsitre ɖe dukɔ ŋu, eye fiaɖuƒe akpe akɔ kple fiaɖuƒe.
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 Anyigba aʋuʋu sesĩe le teƒewo, eye dɔ ato vevie le teƒe bubuwo hã. Dɔ vɔ̃ geɖewo akaka ɖe xexea me, eye nu dziŋɔ kple dzesi gãwo latso dziƒo.
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 “Gake hafi nu siawo katã nava dzɔ la, woaɖo asi mia dzi, eye woawɔ fu mi. Woahe mi ayi woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo kple gaxɔwo me, woakplɔ mi ayi ʋɔnui le fiawo kple mɔmefia gãwo gbɔe. Woawɔ esiawo katã ɖe mia ŋu le tanye.
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13 Nu siawo anye mɔnukpɔkpɔ tɔxɛ na mi be miaɖi ɖase le ŋunye na wo.
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Eya ta migatsi dzi le ale si miawɔ aʋli mia ɖokuiwo ta nenye be wotsɔ nya ɖe mia ŋu la ŋu o,
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 elabena mana nunya mi, eye made nya siwo katã miagblɔ la nu me na mi, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe nu siwo miagblɔ la ŋu o.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 Azɔ ame siwo nye miawo ŋutɔ ŋutimewo, abe mia dzilawo, nɔviŋutsuwo, nɔvinyɔnuwo kple xɔlɔ̃ veviwo ene la ade mi asi, eye woana woava lé mi, eye woawu mia dometɔ aɖewo gɔ̃ hã.
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 Ame sia ame alé fu mi, elabena mienye tɔnyewo ta.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18 Gake le nyateƒe me la, miaƒe taɖa ɖeka pɛ hã matsrɔ̃ o.
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 Elabena ne miele tsitre sesĩe la, ekema miaƒe luʋɔwo akpɔ ɖeɖe.
In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 “Nenye be miekpɔ asrafowo woƒo xlã Yerusalem dua la, ke minyae be dua gbãɣi ɖo vɔ.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Ekema mina ame siwo le Yudea la nasi ayi togbɛwo dzi, eye ame siwo le Yerusalem la nadze agbagba asi. Ke ame siwo le dua godo la megate kpɔ be yewoatrɔ ayi dua me o.
Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 Ŋkeke siawoe nye hlɔ̃biaŋkekewo be nya si nyagblɔɖila xoxoawo katã gblɔ da ɖi la ava eme pɛpɛpɛ.
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Ke baba na nyɔnu siwo ƒo fu le kple ame siwo si vidzĩ fɛ̃wo le, elabena nuxaxa geɖe ava anyigba sia dzi eye Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe ava dukɔ sia dzi.
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 Woawu wo tamesesẽtɔe alo woaɖe aboyo wo ayi xexemedukɔ bubuwo mee. Ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la aɖu Yerusalem dua dzi agbãe gudugudu. Esia ayi dzi va se ɖe esime wòdze Mawu ŋu be wòaɖo asi ame siwo menye Yudatɔ siawo o dzi.”
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 “Azɔ la, dzesi dziŋɔwo ado ɖe ɣe, ɣleti kple ɣletiviwo me. Le anyigba dzi afi sia la, ʋunyaʋunya ava dukɔwo me, eye woatɔtɔ, elabena atsiaƒu aɖe gbe sesĩe, eye ƒutsotsoewo aŋe ŋɔdzitɔe.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Ame geɖewo abu mɔkpɔkpɔ le vɔvɔ̃ ku ɖe nu dziŋɔ siwo gbɔna dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe anyigba sia dzi ta, elabena ŋusẽ siwo le dziƒo la hã aʋuʋu.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Ale ame siwo le anyigba dzi la akpɔ nye Amegbetɔ Vi la manɔ lilikpowo dzi gbɔna le ŋusẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe gã aɖe me.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Eya ta ne nu siawo katã le dzɔdzɔm la, minɔ te sesĩe, eye mianɔ ŋudzɔ, elabena ɣeyiɣia ɖo vɔ be woaɖe mi.”
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Azɔ edo lo sia na wo be, “Mikpɔ aŋutiti kple ati bubuawo katã ɖa,
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 ne woto aŋgbawo la, miakpɔe adze sii le mia ɖokui si be dzomeŋɔli le ɖoɖom.”
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 Nenema ke nenye be miekpɔ be nu siwo megblɔ na mi le eme vam la, minyae be mawufiaɖuƒe la te tu aƒe.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 “Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be, dzidzime sia anɔ agbe akpɔ nu siawo teƒe pɛpɛpɛ hafi aku.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Eye togbɔ be dziƒo kple anyigba nu ava yi hã la, nye nyawo nu mele yiyi ge akpɔ o.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 “Mikpɔ nyuie be nutsuɖuɖu, ahamumu kple dzimaɖitsitsi ɖe agbemenyawo ŋu nagate miaƒe dzi ɖe to o, eye ŋkekea naɖi ɖe mi abe ale si mɔ ɖea ame ene o.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 Elabena adze ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dzi kpoyi.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Minɔ ŋudzɔ ɖaa, eye miado gbe ɖa be ne edze Mawu ŋu la, miagakpɔ nu dziŋɔ siawo dometɔ aɖeke teƒe hafi miatsi tsitre ɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ŋkume o.”
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Yesu nɔ nu fiam le gbedoxɔa me gbe sia gbe, eye le fiẽ me la, etrɔna yia Amito la dzi, afi si wòdɔna le zã me,
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38 eye ameha la katã ƒoa ƒu ŋdi sia ŋdi le gbedoxɔ la me be yewoaɖo to eƒe nufiafia.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
