Luk 21
1 Ọ leliri anya elu hụ ka ndị ọgaranya si etinye onyinye ha nʼime igbe onyinye.
And he looked up and saw people casting their offerings into the treasury, and they were rich.
2 Ọ hụkwara otu nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ ka ọ bịara tinye naanị mkpụrụ ego kọpa abụọ.
And he saw a certain poor widow casting in two mites
3 Ọ sịrị, “Nʼezie, agwa m unu, nwanyị ogbenye a di ya nwụrụ etinyela ego karịa ndị ọzọ niile.
And he said. "Of truth I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than than they all;
4 Nʼihi na ndị ọzọ niile nyere onyinye ha site nʼego mapụtaara ha nʼakụnụba ha, ma ya onwe ya sitere nʼogbenye ya tinye ihe niile o ji biri.”
"for these men have all contributed to the offering out of their surplus, but she, out of her want, contributed all she had to live on."
5 Mgbe ụfọdụ na-ekwu okwu banyere otu e si were nkume mara mma na onyinye e chere nʼihu Chineke, chọọ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ mma, ọ sịrị,
And to some who were about the Temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones votive offerings, he said,
6 “Ma banyere ihe ndị a, oge na-abịa mgbe ihe ndị a niile unu na-ahụ na-agaghị adịkwa. Ọ dịghị otu nkume a ga-ahapụ nʼelu ibe ya, a ga-akwatusị ha niile.”
"As for what you are looking at, the time is coming when not one stone will be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
7 Ha jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, olee mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu? Gịnị ga-abụkwa ihe ịrịbama ga-egosi na ha na-aga imezu?”
"Teacher, when will this be?" they asked him, "and what shall be the sign that these things are about to happen?"
8 Ọ sịrị, “Lezienụ anya ka a ghara iduhie unu nʼihi na ọtụtụ ga-abịa nʼaha m sị, ‘Abụ m ya,’ na-asịkwa na ‘Oge ahụ dị nso.’ Unu esokwala ha.
"Take heed," he answered, "that you are not led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not go and follow them.
9 Mgbe ọbụla unu nụrụ akụkọ agha dị iche iche na ọgbaaghara, ka ụjọ ghara ịtụ unu, ihe ndị a aghaghị ibu ụzọ mezuo, ma ọgwụgwụ oge erubeghị.”
"And when you shall hear of wars and tumults, do not be frightened; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."
10 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Mba ga-ebili megide mba, alaeze ga-ebilikwa megide alaeze.
Then he said to them. "Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
11 A ga-enwe ala ọma jijiji dị ukwuu. Ụnwụ na ọrịa ọjọọ dị iche iche ga-adịkwa nʼebe dị iche iche. A ga-ahụ ihe dị egwu na ihe ịrịbama dị ukwuu site na mbara eluigwe.
"and there shall be great earthquakes, and, in many places, famines and pestilences; and there shall be terror and great portents from heaven.
12 “Ma tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo, ha ga-ejide unu, kpagbukwaa unu. Ha ga-enyefe unu nʼaka ọtụtụ ụlọ ekpere. Ha ga-atụkwa unu mkpọrọ. Ha ga-akpọpụkwa unu nʼihu ndị eze na ndị ọchịchị nʼihi aha m.
"But before all these things happen, they will apprehend you and persecute you and deliver you to the synagogues and to prisons, and bring you before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
13 Nke a ga-abụrụ unu ohere iji gbaa akaebe.
"It shall turn out for a testimony to you.
14 Ma burunu ụzọ kpebie nʼobi unu na unu agaghị echegbu onwe unu maka ihe unu ga-aza.
"So settle it in your hearts not to prepare a defense beforehand,
15 Nʼihi na aga m enye unu ụdị okwu na amamihe nke ndị na-ebo unu ebubo na-enweghị ike iguzogide maọbụ kwuo okwu megide.
"for I will give you utterance and a wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to answer or withstand.
16 Ọ bụladị ndị mụrụ unu, ụmụnne unu ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị, ndị ikwu unu na ndị enyi unu, ha ga-arara unu nye nʼaka ndị ọchịchị, ndị ga-egbukwa ụfọdụ nʼime unu.
"You will be betrayed even by parents or brothers and kinsfolk, and friends.
17 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m.
"Some of you they will put to death. And you shall be hated by all men for the sake of my name.
18 Ma otu agịrị isi dị nʼisi unu agaghị ala nʼiyi.
"And not a hair on your head shall perish.
19 Unu ga-azọpụta ndụ unu site na ntachiobi unu.
"In your patience you shall purchase your souls.
20 “Mgbe unu hụrụ ka ndị agha gbara Jerusalem gburugburu, matanụ na oge e ji ala ya nʼiyi eruola.
"But when you see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Nʼoge ahụ ka ndị nọ na Judịa gbalaga nʼugwu, ka ndị nọ nʼime obodo si na ya pụta, ka ndị na-anọghị nʼobodo gharakwa ịba nʼime ya.
"Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the country enter not in.
22 Nʼihi na oge a ga-abụ oge ịbọ ọbọ ka e mezuo ihe niile akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru.
"For these are the days of vengeance and of fulfilment of all that is written.
23 Ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị dị ime, na ndị na-enye ụmụaka ara, nʼụbọchị ahụ! A ga-enwe oke ihe mgbu nʼala a, iwe ga-adakwasịkwa ụmụ mmadụ.
"Woe to women with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days! For sore anguish will come upon the land, and wrath upon all his people.
24 Mma agha ga-egbu ha, mba niile ga-adọrọkwa ha nʼagha. Ndị mba ọzọ ga na-azọtọsị Jerusalem nʼụkwụ ruo mgbe oge nke ndị mba ọzọ ahụ zuru.
"They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive among the Gentiles, and Jerusalem shall be trampled under foot by the Gentiles, until the appointed times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 “A ga-enwe ihe ịrịbama nʼanyanwụ, nʼọnwa, na kpakpando. Nʼelu ụwa, mba niile ga-anọ nʼoke ahụhụ na mgbagwoju anya dị ka oke osimiri na-eme mkpọtụ, ebili mmiri ga na-ebilikwa.
"And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and the billows;
26 Ndị mmadụ ga-adakwa mba nʼobi nʼihi ụjọ mgbe ha ghọtara ihe gaje ịbịakwasị ụwa, nʼihi na a ga-eme ka ike niile nke dị nʼeluigwe maa jijiji.
"men lifeless through fear, and foreboding of that which is about to come upon the habitable earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken,
27 Nʼoge ahụ, a ga-ahụ Nwa nke Mmadụ ka ọ na-abịa nʼike na ebube nʼigwe ojii.
"and then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 Mgbe ihe ndị a malitere ime, guzoronụ ọtọ welie isi unu elu, nʼihi na oge mgbapụta unu dị nso.”
"But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift your heads! for your redemption is drawing near."
29 Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a, “Leenụ osisi fiig na osisi ndị ọzọ niile anya.
And he told them a parable.
30 Mgbe ha bidoro ipupụta ahịhịa ọhụrụ, unu na-amata na ọkọchị adịla nso.
"Look at the fig tree and all the trees! When they put out their leaves you can see for yourselves that summer is coming.
31 Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, mgbe unu hụrụ ihe ndị a niile ka ha na-eme, matanụ na alaeze Chineke adịla nso.
"So whenever you see all these things comings to pass, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Nʼezie agwa m unu, ọgbọ a agaghị agabiga tupu ihe ndị a niile emezuo.
"In solemn truth I tell you that this generation shall not pass away until all this happens.
33 Eluigwe na ụwa ga-agabiga, ma okwu m enweghị ike ịgabiga.
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words shall never pass away.
34 “Kpachapụkwanụ anya, unu ekwela ka e bogbuo obi unu site nʼoke oriri na ọṅụṅụ na nchekasị nke ndụ a, site otu a mee ka ụbọchị ahụ bịakwasị unu na mberede, dị ka ọnya.
"But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be surcharged with self-indulgence and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day catches you suddenly like a trap.
35 Nʼihi na ọ ga-abịakwasị ndị niile bi nʼelu ụwa.
"For it will come upon all the dwellers on the face of the earth.
36 Nọrọnụ na nche oge niile ma na-ekpekwanụ ekpere ka unu nwee ike ịgbanarị ihe niile gaje ịbịa, ka unu nweekwa ike iguzo nʼihu Nwa nke Mmadụ.”
"So be on your guard at all times, praying that you may be worthy to escape these things that shall come to pass, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of man."
37 Kwa ụbọchị, ọ na-ezi ihe nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ma nʼuhuruchi, ọ na-arịgoro nʼelu Ugwu Oliv ị ga nọọ ọnọdụ abalị.
And each day he was habitually in the Temple teaching, and at night he used to go out and lodge on the mount called the Olives Orchards.
38 Ndị mmadụ niile na-abịakwute ya nʼisi ụtụtụ niile nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ịnụrụ okwu ya.
And all the people used to come him early in the morning in the Temple, to listen to him.
