LUKAS 21

Alargun behartsuaren eskaintza

(Mk 12,41-44)

1 Begira zegoela, aberats batzuk ikusi zituen Jesusek tenpluko dirutegian limosna botatzen.t 2 Ikusi zuen emakume alargun behartsu bat ere bi sost botatzen, 3 eta esan zuen: «Benetan diotsuet: Alargun behartsu honek beste guztiek baino gehiago bota du.

4 Izan ere, beste horiek guztiek sobera dutenetik egin dute limosna; honek, ordea, bere eskasian, bizitzeko zeukan guztia eman du».

Jesus eskatologiaz mintzo (21,5-38)

Sarrera: tenplua suntsitua izango

(Mt 24,1-2; Mk 13,1-2)

6 «Etorriko da garaia, hor ikusten duzuen horretatik harririk ere harri gainean geldituko ez dena: dena suntsituko dute».t

Azkenaren aurreko seinaleak

(Mt 24,3-14; Mk 13,3-13)

7 Ikasleek galdetu zioten: «Maisu, noiz gertatuko da hori, eta zertan ezagutuko da gertatzera doala?»
8 Jesusek erantzun zien: «Kontuz! Ez zaitzatela inork engaina! Asko etorriko dira, nire izena berenganatuz eta esanez: “Ni naiz Mesiast”, edo “Gainean da garaia”. Ez joan halakoen ondoren.t

9 Gerra eta iraultza-hotsak entzutean, ez ikaratu: lehenbizi gertatu beharrekoa baita hori guztia; baina ez dator berehala azkena».
10 Gainera, esan zien: «Nazioa nazioaren kontra eta erreinua erreinuaren kontra altxatuko dira;t

11 lurrikara handiak izango dira, eta izurrite eta goseteak han eta hemen; gauza ikaragarriak gertatuko dira, eta ortzian seinale handiak azalduko.t
12 «Baina hori guztia gertatu aurretik, eskua botako dizuete eta erasoko; sinagogetara eta kartzelara eramango zaituztete, eta erregeen eta agintarien aurrera zuzenduko niregatik.t 13 Aitorpen egiteko aukera emango dizue horrek guztiak.t 14 Hartu gogoan ez duzuela zeuen buruak nola defendatuko kezkatan egon beharrik:t 15 neuk adieraziko dizuet zer eta nola esant, eta zuen etsaietako inork ez du zuei aurre ematerik edo erantzuterik izango. 16 Zeuen guraso eta senideek berek, ahaide eta adiskideek berek salduko zaituztete, eta zuetako zenbait hilko.t 17 Mundu guztiak gorroto izango dizue niregatik;t 18 baina ez duzue buruko ile bakar bat ere galduko.t

19 Iraupenaren iraupenez lortuko duzue bizia.t

Jerusalemen hondamendia

(Mt 24,15-21; Mk 13,14-19)

24 Ezpata-ahoz hilko dituzte eta nazio guztietara eramango gatibu; Jerusalem jentilek zapalduko dute, jentilentzat Jainkoak erabakitako garaia erabat bete arte.t

Gizonaren Semearen etorrera

(Mt 24,29-31; Mk 13,24-27)

27 Orduan, Gizonaren Semea hodei artean ahalmen eta aintzaz beterik etortzen ikusiko dute.t

28 «Hau guztia gertatzen hastean, izan bihotz eta altxatu burua, laster baituzue zeuen askapena».t

«Egon erne»

(Mt 24,32-35; Mk 13,28-31)

33 Zeru-lurrak igaroko dira, baina nire hitzak ez dira bete gabe igaroko.t
34 «Zabiltzate, bada, kontuz! Galdukeria, mozkorkeria eta bizitzako ardurak direla eta, ez bekizue gogoa motel, egun hura ustekabean gainera eror ez dakizuen,t 35 sarea bezala eroriko baita munduan bizi diren guztien gainera.

36 Egon erne eta erregutu uneoro, gertatuko diren horiei guztiei ihes egiteko eta Gizonaren Semearen aurrean zutik irauteko kemena izan dezazuen».t
37 Tenpluan irakasten eman ohi zituen Jesusek egunak, eta Oliamendira ateratzen zen gauak igarotzera.t 38 Eta herri guztia goizean goiz joaten zitzaion tenplura, entzutera.t

Luke 21

The Widow’s Offering

1 Jesust looked upt and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box.tss2 He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.s3 Het said, “I tell you the truth,t this poor widow has put in more than all of them.s

4 For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth.t But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.”t

The Signs of the End of the Age

5 Nowt while some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorneds with beautiful stones and offerings,t Jesust said,6 “As for these things that you are gazing at, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another.s All will be torn down!”t7 Sot they asked him,t “Teacher, when will these thingss happen? And what will be the sign thatt these things are about to take place?”8 Het said, “Watch outt that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’t and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them!

9 And when you hear of wars and rebellions,t do not be afraid.t For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once.”s

Persecution of Disciples

10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise up in armst against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.11 There will be great earthquakes, and faminess and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sightst and great signss from heaven.12 But before all this,s they will seizet you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagoguess and prisons. Yout will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.13 This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses.t14 Therefore be resolvedt not to rehearset ahead of time how to make your defense.15 For I will give you the wordst along with the wisdomt that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.16 You will be betrayed even by parents,s brothers, relatives,t and friends, and they will have some of you put to death.17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name.s18 Yett not a hair of your head will perish.s

19 By your endurances you will gains your lives.t

The Desolation of Jerusalem

20 “But when you see Jerusalems surroundeds by armies, then know that itst desolations has come near.21 Then those who are in Judea must flees to the mountains. Thoset who are inside the city must depart. Thoset who are out in the country must not enter it,22 because these are days of vengeance,t to fulfillt all that is written.23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distresss on the earth and wrath against this people.

24 Theyt will fall by the edget of the sword and be led away as captivess among all nations. Jerusalemt will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.s

The Arrival of the Son of Man

25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,s and on the earth nations will be in distress,t anxioust over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves.26 People will be fainting from feart and from the expectation of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.s27 Thent they will see the Son of Manarriving in a clouds with power and great glory.

28 But when these thingss begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemptions is drawing near.”

The Parable of the Fig Tree

29 Thent he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.t30 When they sprout leaves, you seet for yourselves and know that summer is now near.31 So also you, when you see these things happening, knowt that the kingdom of Gods is near.32 I tell you the truth,t this generations will not pass away until all these things take place.

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

Be Ready!

34 “But be on your guardts so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap.s35 Fort it will overtaket all who live on the face of the whole earth.s

36 But stay alert at all times,s praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that mustt happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Sot every day Jesust was teaching in the temple courts,t but at night he went and stayedt on the Mount of Olives.ts

38 And all the peoples came to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts.st
