Lucas 21
Riveduta 1927
1Poi, alzati gli occhi, Gesù vide dei ricchi che gettavano i loro doni nella cassa delle offerte.
2Vide pure una vedova poveretta che vi gettava due spiccioli;
3e disse: In verità vi dico che questa povera vedova ha gettato più di tutti;
4poiché tutti costoro hanno gettato nelle offerte del loro superfluo; ma costei, del suo necessario, v’ha gettato tutto quanto avea per vivere.
5E facendo alcuni notare come il tempio fosse adorno di belle pietre e di doni consacrati, egli disse:
6Quant’è a queste cose che voi contemplate, verranno i giorni che non sarà lasciata pietra sopra pietra che non sia diroccata.
7Ed essi gli domandarono: Maestro, quando avverranno dunque queste cose? e quale sarà il segno del tempo in cui queste cose staranno per succedere?
8Ed egli disse: Guardate di non esser sedotti; perché molti verranno sotto il mio nome, dicendo: Son io; e: Il tempo è vicino; non andate dietro a loro.
9E quando udrete parlar di guerre e di sommosse, non siate spaventati; perché bisogna che queste cose avvengano prima; ma la fine non verrà subito dopo.
10Allora disse loro: Si leverà nazione contro nazione e regno contro regno;
11vi saranno gran terremoti, e in diversi luoghi pestilenze e carestie; vi saranno fenomeni spaventevoli e gran segni dal cielo.
12Ma prima di tutte queste cose, vi metteranno le mani addosso e vi perseguiteranno, dandovi in man delle sinagoghe e mettendovi in prigione, traendovi dinanzi a re e governatori, a cagion del mio nome.
13Ma ciò vi darà occasione di render testimonianza.
14Mettetevi dunque in cuore di non premeditar come rispondere a vostra difesa,
15perché io vi darò una parola e una sapienza alle quali tutti i vostri avversari non potranno contrastare né contraddire.
16Or voi sarete traditi perfino da genitori, da fratelli, da parenti e da amici; faranno morire parecchi di voi;
17e sarete odiati da tutti a cagion del mio nome;
18ma neppure un capello del vostro capo perirà.
19Con la vostra perseveranza guadagnerete le anime vostre.
20Quando vedrete Gerusalemme circondata d’eserciti, sappiate allora che la sua desolazione è vicina.
21Allora quelli che sono in Giudea, fuggano ai monti; e quelli che sono nella città, se ne partano; e quelli che sono per la campagna, non entrino in lei.
22Perché quelli son giorni di vendetta, affinché tutte le cose che sono scritte, siano adempite.
23Guai alle donne che saranno incinte, e a quelle che allatteranno in que’ giorni! Perché vi sarà gran distretta nel paese ed ira su questo popolo.
24E cadranno sotto il taglio della spada, e saran menati in cattività fra tutte le genti; e Gerusalemme sarà calpestata dai Gentili, finché i tempi de’ Gentili siano compiti.
25E vi saranno de’ segni nel sole, nella luna e nelle stelle; e sulla terra, angoscia delle nazioni, sbigottite dal rimbombo del mare e delle onde;
26gli uomini venendo meno per la paurosa aspettazione di quel che sarà per accadere al mondo; poiché le potenze de’ cieli saranno scrollate.
27E allora vedranno il Figliuol dell’uomo venir sopra le nuvole con potenza e gran gloria.
28Ma quando queste cose cominceranno ad avvenire, rialzatevi, levate il capo, perché la vostra redenzione è vicina.
29E disse loro una parabola: Guardate il fico e tutti gli alberi;
30quando cominciano a germogliare, voi, guardando, riconoscete da voi stessi che l’estate è oramai vicina.
31Così anche voi quando vedrete avvenir queste cose, sappiate che il regno di Dio è vicino.
32In verità io vi dico che questa generazione non passerà prima che tutte queste cose siano avvenute.
33Il cielo e la terra passeranno, ma le mie parole non passeranno.
34Badate a voi stessi, che talora i vostri cuori non siano aggravati da crapula, da ubriachezza e dalle ansiose sollecitudini di questa vita, e che quel giorno non vi venga addosso all’improvviso come un laccio;
35perché verrà sopra tutti quelli che abitano sulla faccia di tutta la terra.
36Vegliate dunque, pregando in ogni tempo, affinché siate in grado di scampare a tutte queste cose che stanno per accadere, e di comparire dinanzi al Figliuol dell’uomo.
37Or di giorno egli insegnava nel tempio; e la notte usciva e la passava sul monte detto degli Ulivi.
38E tutto il popolo, la mattina di buon’ora, veniva a lui nel tempio per udirlo.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y MIRANDO, vió á los ricos que echaban sus ofrendas en el gazofilacio.
2Y vió también una viuda pobrecilla, que echaba allí dos blancas.
3Y dijo: De verdad os digo, que esta pobre viuda echó más que todos:
4Porque todos estos, de lo que les sobra echaron para las ofrendas de Dios; mas ésta de su pobreza echó todo el sustento que tenía.
5Y á unos que decían del templo, que estaba adornado de hermosas piedras y dones, dijo:
6Estas cosas que veis, días vendrán que no quedará piedra sobre piedra que no sea destruída.
7Y le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, ¿cuándo será esto? ¿y qué señal habrá cuando estas cosas hayan de comenzar á ser hechas?
8El entonces dijo: Mirad, no seáis engañados; porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy; y, El tiempo está cerca: por tanto, no vayáis en pos de ellos.
9Empero cuando oyereis guerras y sediciones, no os espantéis; porque es necesario que estas cosas acontezcan primero: mas no luego será el fin.
10Entonces les dijo: Se levantará gente contra gente, y reino contra reino;
11Y habrá grandes terremotos, y en varios lugares hambres y pestilencias: y habrá espantos y grandes señales del cielo.
12Mas antes de todas estas cosas os echarán mano, y perseguirán, entregándoos á las sinagogas y á las cárceles, siendo llevados á los reyes y á los gobernadores por causa de mi nombre.
13Y os será para testimonio.
14Poned pues en vuestros corazones no pensar antes cómo habéis de responder:
15Porque yo os daré boca y sabiduría, á la cual no podrán resistir ni contradecir todos los que se os opondrán.
16Mas seréis entregados aun de vuestros padres, y hermanos, y parientes, y amigos; y matarán á algunos de vosotros.
17Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por causa de mi nombre.
18Mas un pelo de vuestra cabeza no perecerá.
19En vuestra paciencia poseeréis vuestras almas.
20Y cuando viereis á Jerusalem cercada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su destrucción ha llegado.
21Entonces los que estuvieren en Judea, huyan á los montes; y los que en medio de ella, váyanse; y los que estén en los campos, no entren en ella.
22Porque estos son días de venganza: para que se cumplan todas las cosas que están escritas.
23Mas ¡ay de las preñadas, y de las que crían en aquellos días! porque habrá apuro grande sobre la tierra é ira en este pueblo.
24Y caerán á filo de espada, y serán llevados cautivos á todas las naciones: y Jerusalem será hollada de las gentes, hasta que los tiempos de las gentes sean cumplidos.
25Entonces habrá señales en el sol, y en la luna, y en las estrellas; y en la tierra angustia de gentes por la confusión del sonido de la mar y de las ondas:
26Secándose los hombres á causa del temor y expectación de las cosas que sobrevendrán á la redondez de la tierra: porque las virtudes de los cielos serán conmovidas.
27Y entonces verán al Hijo del hombre, que vendrá en una nube con potestad y majestad grande.
28Y cuando estas cosas comenzaren á hacerse, mirad, y levantad vuestras cabezas, porque vuestra redención está cerca.
29Y díjoles una parábola: Mirad la higuera y todos los árboles:
30Cuando ya brotan, viéndolo, de vosotros mismos entendéis que el verano está ya cerca.
31Así también vosotros, cuando viereis hacerse estas cosas, entended que está cerca el reino de Dios.
32De cierto os digo, que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo sea hecho.
33El cielo y la tierra pasarán; mas mis palabras no pasarán.
34Y mirad por vosotros, que vuestros corazones no sean cargados de glotonería y embriaguez, y de los cuidados de esta vida, y venga de repente sobre vosotros aquel día.
35Porque como un lazo vendrá sobre todos los que habitan sobre la faz de toda la tierra.
36Velad pues, orando en todo tiempo, que seáis tenidos por dignos de evitar todas estas cosas que han de venir, y de estar en pie delante del Hijo del hombre.
37Y enseñaba de día en el templo; y de noche saliendo, estábase en el monte que se llama de las Olivas.
38Y todo el pueblo venía á él por la mañana, para oirle en el templo.
King James Version
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19In your patience possess ye your souls.
20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
World English Bible
1He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18And not a hair of your head will perish.
19“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
