Luke 21
1 Mme ya re a ema mo Tempeleng a bo a lebeletse bahumi thata fa ba tsenya dineo tsa bone mo letloleng.
And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 Mme mohumanegi wa motlholagadi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 Mme Jesu a re, “Ammaaruri motlholagadi yo wa mohumanegi o ntshitse mo go tona go gaisa ga ba ba ntshitseng gotlhe go kopantswe.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
4 Gonne ba ntshitse bonnye jwa se ba sa se tlhokeng, mme ene ka fa khumanegong ya gagwe o ntshitse gotlhe mo o neng a na le gone.”
for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.
5 Bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba simolola go bua kaga bontle jwa maje a a kgabisitseng Tempele le mekgabisa ya segopotso mo dipoteng.
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,
6 Mme Jesu a re, “Lobaka lo e tla lo dilo tse tsotlhe tse di lo kgatlhang di tlaa digelwang fa fatshe, mme ga go leje lepe le le tlaa tlogelwang le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe; gotlhe go tlaa nna mokoa o le mongwe fela wa matlakala.”
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7 Mme ba goa ba re, “Morena! mo go tlaa diragala leng? A go tlaa nna le tlhagiso nngwe pele ga nako ya go diragala?”
And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass?
8 Mme a fetola a re, “Lo se lese ope go lo timetsa. Gonne ba le bantsi ba tlaa tla ba ipolela fa e le bo-Mesia, ba re, ‘Nako e gorogile’ mme lo se ka lwa ba dumela!”
And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.
9 “Mme e re fa lo utlwela dintwa le dipheretlhego di simologa, lo se ka lwa tshoga. Dintwa tsa boammaaruri di tshwanetse go tla mme bokhutlo ga bo kitla bo tla ka bonako,
And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
10 gonne chaba e tlaa tsogologela chaba e nngwe le bogosi bo tlaa tsogologela jo bongwe,
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11 mme go tlaa nna dithoromo tse dikgolo tsa lefatshe le mauba mo mafatsheng a le mantsi, le maroborobo le dipoitshego tse di diregang mo magodimong.
and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 “Mme pele ga mo gotlhe go diragala; go tlaa nna le paka ya dipogiso, lo tlaa gogelwa mo disenagogeng mo dikgolegelong le fa pele ga dikgosi le balaodi ka ntlha ya Leina la Me.
But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 “Mme ka ntlha ya gone moo, Mesia o tlaa itsege ka bophara a bo a tlotlwa.
It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.
14 Jalo, lo se tshwenyege ka gore lo tlaa ikarabela jang,
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:
15 gonne ke tlaa lo naya mafoko a a tshwanetseng le botlhale mo e leng gore baganetsi ba lona ga ba kitla ba lo fetola!
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.
16 Le e leng ba ga lona tota, batsadi ba lona, bomorwa-rraalona, ba lo tsalwang nabo ditsala tsa lona di tlaa lo oka gore lo tshwarwe; mme bangwe ba lona ba tlaa bolawa.
But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 “Mme batho botlhe ba tlaa lo ila ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me e bile lo bidiwa ka Leina la Me.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18 Mme le fa e le thiri ya tlhogo ya lona ga e kitla e nyelela!
And not a hair of your head shall perish.
19 Gonne fa lo eme ka tlhomamo, lo tlaa boloka mewa ya lona.
In your patience ye shall win your souls.
20 “Mme fa lo bona Jerusalema a dikaganyeditswe ke dintwa, ke gone lo tlaa itseng gore nako ya tshenyego e gorogile.
But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Hong lesang batho ba Judea ba tshabele kwa dithabeng. Lesang ba ba mo Jerusalema ba leke go falola, mme ba ba kwa ntle ga motse ba se ka ba leka go boa.
Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.
22 Gonne ao e tlaa bo e le malatsi a katlholo ya Modimo, le mafoko a dikwalo tsa bogologolo a a kwadilweng ke baporofiti a tlaa diragala ka botlalo.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 “Mme a bo go tlaa latlhega bomme ba baimana mo malatsing ao, le ba ba nang le masea. Gonne go tlaa nna pitlagano e kgolo mo chabeng e le bogale mo bathong ba.
Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
24 “Ba tlaa bolawa polao e e setlhogo ka ditlha-bani tsa mmaba, kgotsa ba isiwe jaaka bafaladi le ditshwara mo dichabeng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe; mme Jerusalema o tlaa fenngwa a gatakwa ke Badi-chaba go fitlhelela nako ya phenyo ya Badi-chaba e khutla mo lobakeng lwa Modimo.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 “Mme go tlaa nna le ditiragalo tse di sa tlwaelesegang mo loaping, ditlhagiso le botlhodi jo bo maswe mo letsatsing, ngwedi le dinaledi, le mono lefatsheng dichaba di tlaa nna mo pheretlhegong le mo tlalelong e kgolo ka ntlha ya modumo wa mawatle le makhubu a a sa tlwaelesegang.
And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;
26 Bopelo-kgale jwa batho ba le bantsi bo tlaa reketla ka ntlha ya tiragalo e ba e bonang e tla mo lefatsheng, gonne dinonofo tsa magodimo di tlaa thubaganngwa.
men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 Mme batho ba lefatshe ba tlaa mpona nna Mesia, ke tla mo lerung ka nonofo le kgalalelo e kgolo.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Mme e tlaa re fa dilo tse tsotlhe di simologa go diragala, lo eme lo tlhamalale lo lebe kwa godimo! gonne poloko ya lona e gaufi.”
But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Mme a ba fa setshwantsho se: “Lepang setlhare sa mofeige kgotsa setlhare sengwe fela.
And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:
30 Fa matlhare a tlhoga, lo itse lo sa bolelelwa gore selemo se gaufi.
when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.
31 Fela jalo fa lo bona ditiragalo tse ke di lo tlhaloseditseng di diragala lo tlhomamise gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo gaufi.
Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.
32 “Ke lo tlhomamisetsa gore fa dilo tse di diragala, bokhutlo jwa motlha ono bo tlaa bo bo gorogile.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.
33 Legodimo le lefatshe di tlaa feta, le fa go ntse jalo mafoko a me a eme mo boammaaruring ka bosakhutleng.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 “Itiseng! Lo se letle gore go tla ga me ka tshoganetso go lo fitlhele lo sa ipaakanya. Ke se ka ka lo fitlhela lo iketlile mo boatleng, kgotsa mo medirong ya botlhapelwa, lo gapilwe ke matshwenyego a botshelo jo, jaaka mo lefatsheng lotlhe.
But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:
for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.
36 Lo lebeleleng ka metlha yotlhe. Lo rapele gore e re fa go kgonega lo tle fa pele ga me lo ise lo bone dikhuduego tse.”
But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Letsatsi le letsatsi Jesu o ne a ya kwa Tempeleng go ya go ruta, mme bontsi jwa batho ba phuthega go sa le mo mosong go ya go mo reetsa. Mme mo maabanyaneng mangwe le mangwe o ne a tle a boele kwa Thoteng ya Lotlhware go ya go lala teng.
And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
