路加福音 21
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
穷寡妇的奉献
21 耶稣抬头观看，见有钱人正把捐项投进奉献箱里， 2 又见一个穷寡妇投进两个小铜钱， 3 就说：“我实在告诉你们，这位穷寡妇奉献的比其他人都多。 4 因为他们不过奉献了自己剩余的，但这穷寡妇却奉献了她赖以为生的一切。”
预言将来的事
5 有些人正在谈论由精美的石头和珍贵的供物所装饰的圣殿， 6 耶稣说：“你们现在所见到的，将来有一天要被完全拆毁，找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”
7 他们问：“老师，这些事什么时候会发生呢？发生的时候有什么预兆呢？”
8 耶稣回答说：“你们要小心提防，不要被迷惑。因为将来会有许多人冒我的名来，说，‘我就是基督’，或说，‘时候到了’，你们切勿跟从他们。 9 你们听见打仗和叛乱的事，不要害怕，因为这些事一定会先发生，但末日将不会立刻来临。”
10 耶稣接着说：“民族将与民族互斗，国家将与国家相争， 11 将有大地震，各处将有饥荒和瘟疫，天上也将出现恐怖的景象和大异兆。
12 “这些事情出现之前，人们要拘捕你们，迫害你们，把你们押到会堂和监牢，你们将为了我的名而被君王和官长审问。 13 那时，正是你们为我做见证的好机会。 14 你们要立定心志，不要为怎样申辩而忧虑， 15 因为我会赐给你们口才、智慧，使你们的仇敌全无反驳的余地。 16 你们将被父母、弟兄、亲戚、朋友出卖，你们有些人会被他们害死。 17 你们将为我的名而被众人憎恨， 18 但你们连一根头发也不会失落。 19 你们只要坚忍到底，必能保全自己的灵魂。
20 “你们看见耶路撒冷被重兵包围时，就知道它被毁灭的日子快到了。 21 那时，住在犹太地区的人要赶快逃到山上去，住在城里的人要跑到城外，住在乡村的人不要进城， 22 因为那是报应的日子，要应验圣经的全部记载。 23 那时，孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了！因为将有大灾难降在这地方，烈怒要临到这些人民。 24 他们要死在刀剑之下，要被掳到外国去。耶路撒冷要被外族人蹂躏，直到外族人肆虐的日期满了为止。
25 “日月星辰必显出异兆，怒海汹涌、波涛翻腾，令各国惊恐不安。 26 天体必震动，人类想到世界要面临的事都吓得魂不附体。 27 那时，他们要看见人子驾着云、带着能力和极大的荣耀降临。 28 当这些事发生时，你们要昂首挺胸，因为你们蒙救赎的日子近了。”
警醒祷告
29 耶稣又讲了一个比喻：“看看无花果树和其他树木吧。 30 当你们看见树木发芽长叶时，就知道夏天近了。 31 同样，当你们看见这些事情发生时，就知道上帝的国近了。
32 “我实在告诉你们，这个世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。 33 天地都要消逝，但我的话永不消逝。
34 “你们要小心，不要被宴乐、醉酒和人生的挂虑所拖累，免得那日子像网罗般突然临到你们， 35 因为那日子将要这样临到世上每一个人。 36 你们要时刻警醒，常常祷告，使你们能逃过这一切将要发生的灾难，并能站在人子面前。”
37 耶稣每天在圣殿里讲道，晚上则到城外的橄榄山上过夜。 38 百姓一早都赶去圣殿听祂的教导。
Luka 21
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
21 Alipokuwa Hekaluni Yesu aliwaona matajiri wakiweka sadaka zao kwenye sanduku la sadaka. 2 Akamwona na mama mmoja mjane, maskini sana, akiweka humo sarafu mbili. 3 Akasema, “Nawaambia kweli, huyu mjane ametoa sadaka kubwa zaidi kuliko hao wengine wote. 4 Kwa maana hao wengine wametoa sehemu ndogo tu ya utajiri wao, lakini yeye, ingawa ni maskini, ametoa vyote alivyokuwa navyo.”
Dalili Za Siku Za Mwisho
5 Baadhi ya watu walikuwa wakizungumza kuhusu Hekalu jinsi lilivyopambwa kwa mawe mazuri na mapambo maridadi yaliyotolewa kama sadaka kwa Mungu. Yesu akawaambia, 6 “Wakati unakuja ambapo vyote hivyo mnavyovistaajabia sasa vitabomolewa, halitabaki hata jiwe moja juu ya jingine.” 7 Wakamwuliza, “Mwalimu, mambo haya yatatokea lini na ni dalili gani zitaonyesha kwamba yanakari bia?” 8 Akawajibu, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa. Maana wengi watakuja wakitumia jina langu, na kusema, ‘Mimi ndiye’ na ‘Wakati umekaribia’. Msiwafuate. 9 Na mtakaposikia habari za vita na machafuko, msiogope, kwa maana hayo ni lazima yatokee kwanza, ila mwisho hautatokea wakati huo.”
10 Kisha akawaambia: “Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lin gine na utawala mmoja utapigana na utawala mwingine. 11 Kutaku wepo na matetemeko ya ardhi, njaa kali na magonjwa ya kuambukiza katika sehemu mbalimbali; kutakuwa na matukio ya kutisha na ishara kuu kutoka mbinguni.”
Mateso
12 “Lakini kabla haya yote hayajatokea watu watawakamata ninyi na kuwatesa. Mtashtakiwa mbele ya wakuu wa masinagogi na kufungwa magerezani; na wengine mtapelekwa kushtakiwa mbele ya wafalme na watawala kwa ajili ya jina langu. 13 Na hii itawapa nafasi ya kutoa ushuhuda kuhusu imani yenu. 14 Lakini msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya matayarisho ya utetezi wenu kabla ya mashtaka. 15 Kwa maana nitawapa maneno na hekima ambayo maadui zenu hawa taweza kukataa au kupinga. 16 Mtasalitiwa na wazazi, ndugu, jamaa na marafiki na baadhi yenu mtauawa. 17 Watu wote watawa chukia kwa ajili yangu. 18 Lakini hautapotea hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu! 19 Simameni imara nanyi mtaokoa nafsi zenu.”
Kuteketezwa Kwa Yerusalemu
20 “Mkiona mji wa Yerusalemu umezungukwa na majeshi, faham uni kwamba karibu utaangamizwa. 21 Wakati huo, wale walio Yudea wakimbilie milimani; walio mjini Yerusalemu waondoke humo na wale walioko mashambani wasije mjini. 22 Kwa sababu huu utakuwa wakati wa kulipiza kisasi ili yale yote yaliyosemwa kwenye Maan diko yatimie.
23 “Ole wao akina mama watakaokuwa waja wazito na wata kaokuwa wakinyonyesha! Kutakuwa na dhiki nchini na ghadhabu ya Mungu itakuwa juu ya watu wa taifa hili. 24 Wengine watauawa kwa silaha na wengine watachukuliwa mateka na kupelekwa nchi mbalim bali. Na Yerusalemu itamilikiwa na watu wa mataifa mengine mpaka muda wa mataifa hayo utakapokwisha.”
Kuja Kwa Mwana Wa Adamu
25 “Kutakuwa na matukio ya ajabu kwenye jua, mwezi na nyota. Hapa ulimwenguni, mataifa yatakuwa katika dhiki na wasi wasi kutokana na ngurumo na dhoruba za kutisha zitakazotokea baharini. 26 Watu watakufa moyo kwa hofu na wasiwasi kuhusu yale wanayoogopa kuwa yataukumba ulimwengu; kwani nguvu za anga zita tikisika. 27 Ndipo wataniona mimi Mwana wa Adamu nikija katika wingu kwa uwezo na utukufu mkuu. 28 Mambo haya yakianza kutokea, simameni imara, mjipe moyo, kwa kuwa ukombozi wenu unakaribia.”
29 Akawaambia mfano, “Utazameni mtini na miti mingine yote. 30 Inapochipua majani, mnatambua ya kuwa wakati wa mavuno uko karibu. 31 Hali kadhalika, mkiyaona mambo haya yanatokea, faham uni kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia. 32 Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitakwisha kabla mambo haya hayajatokea. 33 Mbingu na nchi zitatoweka lakini maneno yangu yatadumu daima.” Siku Ya Mwisho Itakuja Ghafla
34 Jihadharini msije mkatawaliwa na ulafi, ulevi na wasiwasi wa maisha haya. Kisha siku ikafika pasipo ninyi kutazamia mka naswa! 35 Kwa maana siku hiyo itawakumba watu wote waishio duniani. 36 Kaeni macho na ombeni ili Mungu awawezeshe kuepuka yale yote yatakayotokea na mweze kusimama mbele yangu mimi Mwana wa Adamu.”
37 Kila siku Yesu alikuwa akifundisha Hekaluni na jioni ili pofika alikwenda kulala kwenye mlima wa Mizeituni. 38 Na asubuhi na mapema watu wote walikuwa wakija Hekaluni kumsikiliza.
Luke 21
New King James Version
The Widow’s Two Mites(A)
21 And He looked up (B)and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain (C)poor widow putting in two (D)mites.[a] 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you (E)that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings [b]for God, but she out of her poverty put in (F)all the livelihood that she had.”
Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple(G)
5 (H)Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was [c]adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which (I)not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age(J)
7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”
8 And He said: (K)“Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ [d]Therefore do not [e]go after them. 9 But when you hear of (L)wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”
10 (M)Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great (N)earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 (O)But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and (P)prisons. (Q)You will be brought before kings and rulers (R)for My name’s sake. 13 But (S)it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. 14 (T)Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will [f]answer; 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom (U)which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or [g]resist. 16 (V)You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put (W)some of you to death. 17 And (X)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. 18 (Y)But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19 By your patience possess your souls.
The Destruction of Jerusalem(Z)
20 (AA)“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the days of vengeance, that (AB)all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 (AC)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles (AD)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
The Coming of the Son of Man(AE)
25 (AF)“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, (AG)for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man (AH)coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because (AI)your redemption draws near.”
The Parable of the Fig Tree(AJ)
29 (AK)Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 (AL)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My (AM)words will by no means pass away.
The Importance of Watching(AN)
34 “But (AO)take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [h]carousing, drunkenness, and (AP)cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For (AQ)it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 (AR)Watch therefore, and (AS)pray always that you may [i]be counted (AT)worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and (AU)to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 (AV)And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but (AW)at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet. 38 Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.
