Luke 21

1 Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,

1 وَتَطَلَّعَ فَرَأَى الأَغْنِيَاءَ يُلْقُونَ تَقْدِمَاتِهِمْ فِي صُنْدُوقِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

2 and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.

2 وَرَأَى أَيْضاً أَرْمَلَةً فَقِيرَةً تُلْقِي فِيهِ فَلْسَيْنِ.

3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

3 فَقَالَ: «الحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلَةَ الْفَقِيرَةَ قَدْ أَلْقَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعاً.

4 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

4 لأَنَّ هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً قَدْ أَلْقَوْا فِي التَّقْدِمَاتِ مِنَ الْفَائِضِ عَنْهُمْ. وَأَمَّا هِيَ، فَمِنْ حَاجَتِهَا أَلْقَتْ كُلَّ مَا تَمْلِكُهُ لِمَعِيشَتِهَا!»

5 As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,

5 وَإِذْ تَحَدَّثَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ الْهَيْكَلِ بِأَنَّهُ مُزَيَّنٌ بِالْحِجَارَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ وَتُحَفِ النُّذُورِ،

6 “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.”

6 قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ، سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ لَا يَبْقَى فِيهَا حَجَرٌ مِنْهُ فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ إِلّا وَيُهْدَمُ».

7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

7 فَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَتَى يَحْدُثُ هَذَا؟ وَمَا هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ الَّتِي تَظْهَرُ حِينَ يَقْتَرِبُ وُقُوعُهُ؟»

8 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.

8 فَقَالَ: «انْتَبِهُوا! لَا تَضِلُّوا! فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَإِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ: فَلا تَتْبَعُوهُمْ!

9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”

9 وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ بِالْحُرُوبِ وَالاِضْطِرَابَاتِ، فَلا تَرْتَعِبُوا، لأَنَّ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ لابُدَّ مِنْ حُدُوثِهَا أَوَّلاً، وَلكِنَّ النِّهَايَةَ لَا تَأْتِي حَالاً بَعْدَهَا!»

10 Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

10 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «سَتَنْقَلِبُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ،

11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

11 وَتَحْدُثُ فِي عِدَّةِ أَمَاكِنَ زَلازِلُ شَدِيدَةٌ وَمَجَاعَاتٌ وَأَوْبِئَةٌ، وَتَظْهَرُ عَلامَاتٌ مُخِيفَةٌ وَآيَاتٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

12 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.

12 وَلكِنْ قَبْلَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا يَمُدُّ النَّاسُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ، فَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَجَامِعِ وَالسُّجُونِ، وَيَسُوقُونَكُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ وَالْحُكَّامِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي.

13 This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.

13 وَلكِنَّ ذلِكَ سَيُتِيحُ لَكُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلشَّهَادَةِ.

14 So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.

14 فَضَعُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَلّا تُعِدُّوا دِفَاعَكُمْ مُسْبَقاً،

15 For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

15 لأَنِّي سَوْفَ أُعْطِيكُمْ كَلاماً وَحِكْمَةً لَا يَقْدِرُ جَمِيعُ مُقَاوِمِيكُمْ أَنْ يَرُدُّوهَا أَوْ يُنَاقِضُوهَا.

16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.

16 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْوَالِدُونَ وَالإِخْوَةُ وَالأَقْرِبَاءُ وَالأَصْدِقَاءُ، وَيَقْتُلُونَ بَعْضاً مِنْكُمْ،

17 And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.

17 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي.

18 Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.

18 وَلكِنَّ شَعْرَةً مِنْ رُؤُوسِكُمْ لَا تَهْلِكُ الْبَتَّةَ.

19 By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.

19 فَبِاحْتِمَالِكُمْ تَرْبَحُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ!

20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.

20 وَعِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُحَاصَرَةً بِالْجُيُوشِ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ خَرَابَهَا قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ.

21 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.

21 عِنْدَئِذٍ، لِيَهْرُبِ الَّذِينَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَلْيَرْحَلْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَنْ هُمْ فِيهَا، وَلا يَدْخُلْهَا مَنْ هُمْ فِي الأَرْيَافِ:

22 For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.

22 فَإِنَّ هذِهِ الأَيَّامَ أَيَّامُ انْتِقَامٍ يَتِمُّ فِيهَا كُلُّ مَا قَدْ كُتِبَ.

23 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.

23 وَلكِنَّ الْوَيْلُ لِلْحَبَالَى وَالْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، لأَنَّ ضِيقَةً عَظِيمَةً سَوْفَ تَقَعُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَغَضَباً شَدِيداً سَيَنْزِلُ بِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ،

24 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.

24 فَيَسْقُطُونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَيُسَاقُونَ أَسْرَى إِلَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَبْقَى أُورُشَلِيمُ تَدُوسُهَا الأُمَمُ إِلَى أَنْ تَكْتَمِلَ أَزْمِنَةُ الأُمَمِ.

25 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.

25 وَسَتَظْهَرُ عَلامَاتٌ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَالنُّجُومِ، وَتَكُونُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ ضِيقَةٌ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي حَيْرَةٍ، لأَنَّ الْبَحْرَ وَالأَمْوَاجَ تَعِجُّ وَتَجِيشُ،

26 Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

26 وَيُغْمَى عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنَ الرُّعْبِ وَمِنْ تَوَقُّعِ مَا سَوْفَ يَجْتَاحُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، إِذْ تَتَزَعْزَعُ أَجْرَامُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

27 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِياً فِي السَّحَابِ بِقُوَّةٍ وَمَجْدٍ عَظِيمٍ.

28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

28 وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا تَبْدَأُ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ تَحْدُثُ، فَانْتَصِبُوا وَارْفَعُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ لأَنَّ فِدَاءَكُمْ يَقْتَرِبُ».

29 Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

29 وَضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلاً: «انْظُرُوا إِلَى التِّينَةِ وَبَاقِي الأَشْجَارِ!

30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.

30 عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَهَا قَدْ أَوْرَقَتْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَنَّ الصَّيْفَ بَاتَ قَرِيباً.

31 So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.

31 فَهكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، عِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ حَادِثَةً، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ بَاتَ قَرِيباً.

32 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

32 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَزُولُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ أَبَداً حَتَّى تَحْدُثَ هذِهِ كُلُّهَا.

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

33 إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ تَزُولانِ، وَلكِنَّ كَلامِي لَا يَزُولُ أَبَداً.

34 But 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.

34 وَلكِنْ احْذَرُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلّا تَتَثَقَّلَ قُلُوبُكُمْ بِالاِنْغِمَاسِ فِي اللَّذَّاتِ وَبِالسُّكْرِ وَهُمُومِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيَدْهَمَكُمْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ فَجْأَةً؛

35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.

35 فَإِنَّهُ سَوْفَ يُطْبِقُ كَالْفَخِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

36 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.”

36 فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ وَتَضَرَّعُوا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِكَيْ تَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَنْجُوا مِنْ جَمِيعِ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي هِيَ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ، وَتَقِفُوا أَمَامَ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ».

37 Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.

37 وَكَانَ فِي النَّهَارِ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَخْرُجُ وَيَبِيتُ فِي الْجَبَلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِجَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ.

38 And early in the morning all the people would come to hear Him at the temple.

38 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ يُبَكِّرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ لِيَسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْهِ.
