Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 Ἀναβλέψας δὲ εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας ⸂εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν πλουσίους.
AND as he looked up, he saw some casting their gifts into the treasury who were rich.
2 εἶδεν δέ ⸀τιναχήραν πενιχρὰν βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ ⸂λεπτὰ δύο,
And he observed also a certain widow, miserably poor, put in there two mites.
3 καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ⸂ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
And he said, Of a truth I tell you that this poor widow hath put in more than all they:
4 ⸀πάντεςγὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ ⸀δῶρα αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς ⸀πάντατὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.
for all they have of their superfluity cast into the oblations for God: but she out of her indigence hath cast in all the substance which she possessed.
5 Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται εἶπεν·
And some of them talking of the temple, how adorned it was with the beautiful stone-work and the dedicated offerings, he said,
6 Ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ ⸀λίθῳὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
As for these things which ye are gazing upon, the days will come, in which one stone will not be left upon another, that shall not be utterly thrown down.
7 Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what is the sign, when these things are ready to come to pass?
8 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Βλέπετε μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ⸀λέγοντες Ἐγώ εἰμι καί· Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν· ⸀μὴπορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them.
9 ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the conclusion is not immediately.
10 τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπʼ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι ⸂καὶ κατὰ τόπους ⸂λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ ⸂σημεῖα ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα ἔσται.
and great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and in the heaven shall be frightful appearances, and mighty signs.
12 Πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰςχεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ διώξουσιν, παραδιδόντες εἰς ⸀τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ φυλακάς, ⸀ἀπαγομένουςἐπὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἡγεμόνας ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου·
But before all these things, they will lay hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and to prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13 ⸀ἀποβήσεταιὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
And it shall afford you an opportunity to bear your testimony.
14 ⸀θέτεοὖν ⸂ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι,
Therefore rest satisfied in your hearts, not to premeditate what apology to make:
15 ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ⸂ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν ⸀ἅπαντεςοἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall be utterly unable to contradict or resist.
16 παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων καὶ ⸂ἀδελφῶν καὶ συγγενῶν καὶ φίλων, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν,
But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and relations, and friends; and some of you they shall put to death.
17 καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18 καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται.
Though a hair of your head shall in nowise perish.
19 ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν ⸀κτήσασθετὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ ⸀στρατοπέδωνἸερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches.
21 τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν,
Then let those who are in Judea fly unto the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of her get far away: and they who are in the countries, let them not enter into her.
22 ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσιν τοῦ πλησθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
For these are the days of vengeance, when all things which are written shall be fulfilled.
23 ⸀οὐαὶταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ⸀ὀργὴτῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
But wo to those who are big with child, and have infants at their breasts, in those days! for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath upon this people.
24 καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρης καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς ⸂τὰ ἔθνη πάντα, καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν, ἄχρι ⸀οὗ⸀πληρωθῶσινκαιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period.
25 Καὶ ⸀ἔσονταισημεῖα ἐν ἡλίῳ καὶ σελήνῃ καὶ ἄστροις, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ⸀ἤχουςθαλάσσης καὶ σάλου,
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 ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
men terrified to death with fear, and expectation of the calamities coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς· Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα·
And he spake a parable unto them, Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees,
30 ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν·
when they now put forth, as soon as ye see it ye know in yourselves that the summer is now near:
31 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
so ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
32 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall in nowise pass away, until all these things come to pass.
33 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ ⸀παρελεύσονται οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall never pass away.
34 Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς μήποτε βαρηθῶσιν ⸂ὑμῶν αἱ καρδίαι ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς, καὶ ⸂ἐπιστῇ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς αἰφνίδιος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts should be overloaded with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the anxious cares of life, and that day should come upon you unawares.
35 ὡς παγίς· ⸂ἐπεισελεύσεται γὰρ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
For as a snare shall it come upon all that are settled on the face of the whole earth.
36 ἀγρυπνεῖτε ⸀δὲἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι ἵνα ⸀κατισχύσητεἐκφυγεῖν ⸀ταῦταπάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι, καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
Watch therefore, praying at every proper opportunity, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are ready to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ⸂ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν·
And during the day he continued teaching in the temple; but at night he went out, and lodged in the mountain called the mount of Olives.
38 καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
And all the people came to him early in the morning at the temple, to hear him.
