Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.
2 ειδεν δε τινα και χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
And he said: Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
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 these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want, hath cast in all the living that she had.
5 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
And some saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθον ος ου καταλυθησεται
These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
7 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?
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
Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them.
9 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
10 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
Then he said to them: Nation shall 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 divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
12 προ δε τουτων απαντων 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 these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.
13 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν η αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και συγγενων και φιλων και αδελφων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
But a hair of your head shall not perish.
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
In your patience you shall possess your souls.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
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 who are in Judea, flee to the mountains; and those who are in the midst thereof, depart out: and those who are in the countries, not enter into it.
22 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
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 woe to them that are with child, and 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
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captives into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles; till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
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 distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;
27 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελη μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28 αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων
But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:
30 οταν προβαλλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσεται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρηθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
35 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, 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
And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple; but at night, going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.
38 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
