Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψασ δε ειδεν τουσ βαλλοντασ τα δωρα αυτων εισ το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιουσ
As Jesus was observing the rich casting their gifts into the treasury,
2 ειδεν δε τινα και χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
he saw an indigent widow throw in two mites.
3 και ειπεν αληθωσ λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
And he said, I tell you, truly, that this poor widow has cast in more than any of them;
4 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
for all of these, out of their superfluous store, have thrown into the sacred chest, she has thrown in all the little that she had.
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοισ καλοισ και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
Some having remarked, that the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and presents, he said,
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αισ ουκ αφεθησεται λιθοσ επι λιθω οσ ου καταλυθησεται
The time will come, when these things which you behold, shall be razed that one stone will not be left upon another.
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
Then they asked him, saying, Rabbi, when will these things be: and what will be the sign, when they are about to be accomplished?
8 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
He answered, Take care that you be not seduced: for many will assume my character, saying, I am the person, and the time approaches; therefore, do not follow them.
9 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμουσ και ακαταστασιασ μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεωσ το τελοσ
But when you shall hear of wars and insurrections, be not terrified: for these things must first happen; but the end will not immediately follow.
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοισ εγερθησεται εθνοσ επι εθνοσ και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
He added, Then will nation rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 σεισμοι τε μεγαλοι κατα τοπουσ και λιμοι και λοιμοι εσονται φοβητρα τε και σημεια απ ουρανου μεγαλα εσται
And there shall be great earthquakes in sundry places, and famines, and pestilences; there shall be also frightful appearances, and great prodigies in the sky.
12 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
But, before all this, you shall be apprehended and prosecuted, and delivered to synagogues, and imprisoned, and dragged before kings and governors, because of my name:
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εισ μαρτυριον
and this afford scope for your testimony.
14 θεσθε ουν εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
Be, therefore, resolved not to premeditate what defense you shall make;
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντεσ οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
for I will give you an utterance, and wisdom, which none of your adversaries shall be able to refute or resist.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και συγγενων και φιλων και αδελφων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
And you shall be given up even by parents, and brothers, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
And, on my account, you shall be universally hated.
18 και θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ υμων ου μη αποληται
Yet not a hair of your head shall be lost.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τασ ψυχασ υμων
Save your souls by your perseverance.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσισ αυτησ
Now, when you shall see Jerusalem invested with armies, know that its desolation is nigh.
21 τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εισ τα ορη και οι εν μεσω αυτησ εκχωρειτωσαν και οι εν ταισ χωραισ μη εισερχεσθωσαν εισ αυτην
Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; let those in the city make their escape, and let not those in the country enter the city:
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεωσ αυται εισιν του πλησθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
for these will be days of vengeance, in which all the denunciations of the scriptures shall be accomplished.
23 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
But, alas, for the women with child, and for them who give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 και πεσουνται στοματι μαχαιρασ και αιχμαλωτισθησονται εισ παντα τα εθνη και ιερουσαλημ εσται πατουμενη υπο εθνων αχρι πληρωθωσιν καιροι εθνων
They shall fall by the sword; they shall be carried captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be over.
25 και εσται σημεια εν ηλιω και σεληνη και αστροισ και επι τησ γησ συνοχη εθνων εν απορια ηχουσησ θαλασσησ και σαλου
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth, the anguish of desponding nations; and roarings in the seas, and floods;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιασ των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεισ των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
men expiring with the fear and apprehension of those things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεωσ και δοξησ πολλησ
Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great glory and power.
28 αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τασ κεφαλασ υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσισ υμων
Now when these things begin to be fulfilled, look up, and lift up your heads; because your deliverance approaches.
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοισ ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
He proposed to them, also, this comparison: Consider the fig tree, and the other trees.
30 οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντεσ αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυσ το θεροσ εστιν
When you observe them shooting forth, you know, of yourselves, that the summer is nigh.
31 ουτωσ και υμεισ οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυσ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
Know, in like manner, when you shall see these events, that the Reign of God is nigh.
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εωσ αν παντα γενηται
Indeed, I say to you, that this race shall not fail until all be accomplished.
33 ο ουρανοσ και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth shall fail; but my words shall not fail.
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοισ μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναισ βιωτικαισ και αιφνιδιοσ εφ υμασ επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares: for, as a net,
35 ωσ παγισ γαρ επελευσεται επι παντασ τουσ καθημενουσ επι προσωπον πασησ τησ γησ
it shall inclose all the inhabitants of the earth.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
Be vigilant, therefore, praying on every occasion, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these approaching evils, and to stand before the Son of Man.
37 ην δε τασ ημερασ εν τω ιερω διδασκων τασ δε νυκτασ εξερχομενοσ ηυλιζετο εισ το οροσ το καλουμενον ελαιων
Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives.
38 και πασ ο λαοσ ωρθριζεν προσ αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
And every morning the people resorted early to the temple to hear him.
