Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 Ἀναβλέψας δὲ εἶδεν τοὺς βάλλοντας ⸂εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν πλουσίους.
And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,
2 εἶδεν δέ ⸀τιναχήραν πενιχρὰν βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ ⸂λεπτὰ δύο,
and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
3 καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ⸂ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;
4 ⸀πάντεςγὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ ⸀δῶρα αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς ⸀πάντατὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλεν.
for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'
5 Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασιν κεκόσμηται εἶπεν·
And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,
6 Ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ ⸀λίθῳὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
'These things that ye behold — days will come, in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
7 Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;
And they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?'
8 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Βλέπετε μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ⸀λέγοντες Ἐγώ εἰμι καί· Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν· ⸀μὴπορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
And he said, 'See — ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;
9 ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.
and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.'
10 τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπʼ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
Then said he to them, 'Nation shall rise 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.
great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;
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·
and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;
13 ⸀ἀποβήσεταιὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
and it shall become to you for a testimony.
14 ⸀θέτεοὖν ⸂ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι,
'Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
15 ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ⸂ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν ⸀ἅπαντεςοἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.
16 παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων καὶ ⸂ἀδελφῶν καὶ συγγενῶν καὶ φίλων, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν,
'And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death;
17 καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.
and ye shall be hated by all because of my name —
18 καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται.
and a hair out of your head shall not 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.
'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;
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 those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the countries, let them not come in to her;
22 ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσιν τοῦ πλησθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things that have been written.
23 ⸀οὐαὶταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ⸀ὀργὴτῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on 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 mouth of the sword, and shall be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be fulfilled.
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 sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow roaring;
26 ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
'And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;
28 ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.
and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw nigh.'
29 Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς· Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα·
And he spake a simile to them: 'See the fig-tree, and all the trees,
30 ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν·
when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves ye know that now is the summer nigh;
31 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;
32 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
verily I say to you — This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;
33 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ ⸀παρελεύσονται οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not 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
'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,
35 ὡς παγίς· ⸂ἐπεισελεύσεται γὰρ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,
36 ἀγρυπνεῖτε ⸀δὲἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι ἵνα ⸀κατισχύσητεἐκφυγεῖν ⸀ταῦταπάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι, καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about 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 he was during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called of Olives;
38 καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.
