Luke 21 (UTR) · Opened

1Dafi iYesu kyile inɛ esho nɛ, o di emi awuya kye umba mgbi ama le wokɛ mi okye ogbɛ umba mi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin.Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,

2O diyɛ di owakwadɛ ngwu dzɛ adzɛ kye anini nghi efa wa wokɛ okye ogbɛ umba.and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.

3IYesu gbɛɛ, <<N nya ema otsitsi, owakwadɛ ndzɛ adzɛ nɛ nu ngha angbeka ntona duu.“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

4Lubana emi awuya ntonɛ duu fwɛ-fwɛ mi aludu mgbi ama kye nu; kpaa ongwu mi abubɔ mgban kye ungwɔ ngwi o ka dzɛ oshishe mi ele duu kye nu.>>For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

5Engwafɔɔn angbeka le gbɔdzɛ mi mse bɛyi idabɔ ngwi a kyɔ mi akwutsɛ ongwi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin bɛyi umba ngwi a kye nu Imgbasho. Nghaduu iYesu gbɛɛ,As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,

6<<Ungwɔ ngwi ema di mmɛnɛ nɛ, onɔ kyɛma ngwi a ka dzata ikwutsɛ onyi dɔ ikye oka ba; ama duu a ka kye bulu tukwu esɛ.>>“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

7Nɛ a byun gbɛɛ, <<Otsetse, li engga ngwi ungwɔ ntonɛ ka kyɔ? Naadi li ali ambɛ ka tso gbɛɛ ungwɔ ntonɛ dzɛ kwɛkwɛ okyɔɔkyɔ?>>“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

8IYesu nu ma uka gbɛɛ: <<Gbɛwɛbyi adzi nu ma ka kpagyama wo ba. Ikyesinɛ inggisɛ kwuba ka ba mi iyi mgbi ani, le kye ewoma gbɛɛ, <Li ani ongwu ma aani,> dika gbɛɛ, <Onɔ ma gyɔ wa.> Nghaduu ka kyɛdɔ ma ba.Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

9Onɔ ngwi ema fwo odzɛ ika bɛyi ablodzɛ, ka mio ba. Ungwɔ ntonɛ ka kyɔ kyɛmɛ duuse, kpaa ongyɛɛngyɛ mgbi ɛsɛ ka ba labɔlabɔ ma ba.>>When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”

10Ta iYesu nya ma gbɛɛ: <<Ɛsɛ oka ka kyɛɛ ika yi ɛsɛ oka, esutɔ oka dika kyɛɛ ika yi esutɔ oka.Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11Ikpɛsɛ osuusu ka dzɛ kpakpa, onikyɔ enbwa omba enbwa bɛyi ootse ibwubwe ka gbɔfwɛ mi imbe idzidza-dzidza, yi ungwɔ ama okwulewo bɛyi ambɛ ama okwukwo mi esho.There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

12<<Kpaa duuse ni ungwɔ ntonɛ kyɔ, a ka gbe abɔ dɔ ema ewo dika nu ema okɔtɔndzi adzɛ. A ka kye ema nu mi ozu okwakye mgbi emi iJuda bɛyi obawi, dika kye ema ba mi inɛ mgbi emi utɔ bɛyi emi iGɔna, tsatsadu mi ikye iyi mgbi ani.But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.

13Ungwɔnɛ ka nu ema ofɛ okyɔ obwɛndɛ mgbi ani.This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.

14Nghaduu bwa itukwu mgbi ema, no ka kaka ema ewo dafi ema ka na ewema duuse ni egbe wa gyɔ ba.So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.

15Lubana ani ka nu ema elodzɛ bɛyi ozoyeye ngwi engyikyili mgbi ema ka yagba onatsondu yi ema ba.For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

16Ama omba ema, engwunema, emi odo ema bɛyi emi oka ema, ka wa kye ema gya, a dika ngwɔ ema angbeka.You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.

17Inggisɛ duu ka di ema tanyi mi ikye iyi mgbi ani.And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.

18Nghaduu alotu mgbi ema onyi ka kwɔ ba.Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.

19Mi okwulɛsɛ mgbi ema kpɔklɔɔ ema ka tu oshishe.By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.

20<<Onɔ ngwi ema wa di emi oblakwutsɛ kpakɛkɛ wo iJerosalin ma, ye na gbɛɛ odzili-dzili mgban dzɛ kwɛkwɛ.But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.

21Nghanɛ ama nto iJudia nu ma tsinya lu unggwɔ, ama nto ogalu nu ma tasɛ, ama ndi nto esisɛ nu ma ka yɛ kaka ogalu ba.Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country stay out of the city.

22Lubana nɛnɛ li onɔ ngwi Imgbasho ka nu emi ogalu nɛ adzɛ kpakpa ikye ombwumbwo ungwɔ ngwi a tsekise lɔ mani.For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.

23Ka kwulewo kpakpa mbi engyaa ama nto yi ifewo mi egbe ntona bɛyi enengwɛ ama nto yi engwɛ abɔ! Okakewo ka dzɛ kpakpa mi ɛsɛ na bɛyi itingga mgbi Imgbasho mi ikye inggisɛ ntonɛni.How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.

24A ka ngwɔ angbeka yi okwusunkli dika kwu angbeka ofyɛɛ gbe ma lu kpatsɛ ɛsɛ duu. Udzengye ka kye afɔ tɔdɔ iJerosalin nghataa onɔ mgbi Udzengye ka wa ngyɛ.They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25<<Ambɛ ka wa tɔ mi onɔ yi ofyia bɛyi mcɛ. Mi ikpɛsɛ, ɛsɛ duu ka dzɛ mi isɔ bɛyi okakewo mi owulu-wulu yi okadu-kadu mgbi ekyoo okwukwo.There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.

26Ibyi inggisɛ ka dzɛkwulu yi imio, mi odifwi-difwi mgbi ungwɔ ngwi kyɛ le ba ɛsɛ nɛ mani, lubana ali mfye ongwi esho duu ka suusu.Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27Mi onɔ na a ka di Ongwɛ Inggisɛ kyɛ le ba mi akpa mi esho yi mfye bɛyi okwɔkwɔ oshewo.At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28Onɔ ngwi ungwɔ ntonɛ wita okyɔɔkyɔ ma, kyato dzɛkunto kyile ikye mgbi ema esho, lubana owatɔ-watɔ mgbi ema dzɛ kwɛkwɛ.>>When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

29Ta iYesu nya ma utsa nɛ gbɛɛ: <<Kyidi andundu bɛyi ekwɔ angbeka duu na.Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

30Onɔ ngwi a wita okyinda ma, ema li di abuema di ye gbɛɛ akyonova dzɛ kwɛkwɛ wa.When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.

31Ngwi i dzɛ nghanɛ, ni ema di ungwɔ ntonɛ le kyɔ yɔ, ye na ta gbɛɛ esutɔ mgbi Imgbasho dzɛ kwɛkwɛ.So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.

32<<N nya ema otsitsi, etɔ nɛ ka nyɛ ba nghataa se ungwɔ ntonɛ ka kyɔ.Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

33Esho yi esɛ ka wa nyɛ, kpaa elodzɛ mgbi ani ka yama nyɛ ba.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

34<<Gbɛwɛbyi na, ka kye itukwu mgbi ema dzɛ mi ungwɔ ogyeegye yi ungwɔ owa fya bɛyi itukwu oshanyɛ mi oshishe ongwi ɛsɛ nɛ ba, ikye ni egbe na ka fa tu ema bwabwaBut watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

35dafi ukya ba mani. Lubana egbe na ka ba mbi ali inggisɛ ndzɛ ɛsɛ duu.For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.

36Lasisa le ngyo alonɔ na, di bibɔ gbɛɛ ni ema yagba watɔ mi ungwɔ ama nka wa kyɔ duu, adzi ni ema wa yagba kwudzɛ mi inɛ Ongwɛ Inggisɛ mani.>>So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”

37Alegbe mi onɔ, iYesu li le tsungwɔ mi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin, kpaa mi otu yɔ o li lu ka la undɔ ngwi a li kwun di unggwɔ olivi nani.Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.

38Ali ebgegbe inggisɛ kwuba li tɔ owa fwon mi ozu okwukwo osunu Imgbasho mi iJerosalin.And early in the morning all the people would come to hear Him at the temple.
