Κατα Λουκαν 21
1 αναβλεψας δε ειδεν τους βαλλοντας τα δωρα αυτων εις το γαζοφυλακιον πλουσιους
And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury — rich men,
2 ειδεν δε και τινα χηραν πενιχραν βαλλουσαν εκει δυο λεπτα
and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two mites,
3 και ειπεν αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι η χηρα η πτωχη αυτη πλειον παντων εβαλεν
and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than 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 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 και τινων λεγοντων περι του ιερου οτι λιθοις καλοις και αναθημασιν κεκοσμηται ειπεν
And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said,
6 ταυτα α θεωρειτε ελευσονται ημεραι εν αις ουκ αφεθησεται λιθος επι λιθω ος ου καταλυθησεται
'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 επηρωτησαν δε αυτον λεγοντες διδασκαλε ποτε ουν ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα γινεσθαι
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 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
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 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακαταστασιας μη πτοηθητε δει γαρ ταυτα γενεσθαι πρωτον αλλ ουκ ευθεως το τελος
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 τοτε ελεγεν αυτοις εγερθησεται εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν
Then said he 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
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 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
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 αποβησεται δε υμιν εις μαρτυριον
and it shall become to you for a testimony.
14 θεσθε ουν εις τας καρδιας υμων μη προμελεταν απολογηθηναι
'Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,
15 εγω γαρ δωσω υμιν στομα και σοφιαν η ου δυνησονται αντειπειν ουδε αντιστηναι παντες οι αντικειμενοι υμιν
for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.
16 παραδοθησεσθε δε και υπο γονεων και αδελφων και συγγενων και φιλων και θανατωσουσιν εξ υμων
'And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death;
17 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου
and ye shall be hated by all because of my name —
18 και θριξ εκ της κεφαλης υμων ου μη αποληται
and a hair out of your head shall not perish;
19 εν τη υπομονη υμων κτησασθε τας ψυχας υμων
in your patience possess ye your souls.
20 οταν δε ιδητε κυκλουμενην υπο στρατοπεδων την ιερουσαλημ τοτε γνωτε οτι ηγγικεν η ερημωσις αυτης
'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;
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 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 οτι ημεραι εκδικησεως αυται εισιν του πληρωθηναι παντα τα γεγραμμενα
because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things that have been 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
'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 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 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 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 sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow roaring;
26 αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
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 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 power and much glory;
28 αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων
and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw nigh.'
29 και ειπεν παραβολην αυτοις ιδετε την συκην και παντα τα δενδρα
And he spake a simile to them: 'See the fig-tree, and all the trees,
30 οταν προβαλωσιν ηδη βλεποντες αφ εαυτων γινωσκετε οτι ηδη εγγυς το θερος εστιν
when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves ye know that now is the summer nigh;
31 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;
32 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα γενηται
verily I say to you — This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;
33 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away.
34 προσεχετε δε εαυτοις μηποτε βαρυνθωσιν υμων αι καρδιαι εν κραιπαλη και μεθη και μεριμναις βιωτικαις και αιφνιδιος εφ υμας επιστη η ημερα εκεινη
'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 ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land,
36 αγρυπνειτε ουν εν παντι καιρω δεομενοι ινα καταξιωθητε εκφυγειν ταυτα παντα τα μελλοντα γινεσθαι και σταθηναι εμπροσθεν του υιου του ανθρωπου
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 ην δε τας ημερας εν τω ιερω διδασκων τας δε νυκτας εξερχομενος ηυλιζετο εις το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων
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 και πας ο λαος ωρθριζεν προς αυτον εν τω ιερω ακουειν αυτου
and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.
