The Thing Dem Da Luke Write

21 When he look up, he saw the rich people putting money in the box. 2 Then he saw one poor widow putting two small coins da wor having small value* in the box. 3 He tell them say: “To tell yor the truth, this poor widow put more money in the box pass all the other people. 4 Because all of them put money in the box from the plenty money they wor having. But this poor widow put everything she wor having in the box, everything she wor having to live on.”

5 Some people wor talking about how they build the temple with fine-fine rocks, and the thing dem da people na give to God. 6 He tell them say: “All the thing dem yor seeing, time will come one rock will not leave on top of another rock da they will not throw on the ground.” 7 Then they ask him: “Teacher, what time this thing dem will really happen? And what will be the sign when all this thing dem will happen?” 8 He say: “Yor be careful so nobody can’t fool yor. Because plenty people will use my name, and say, ‘Da me the Christ,’ and ‘The time already near.’ Don’t follow them. 9 Also, when yor hear about war and other problem dem, yor mon not be scare. Because this thing dem suppose to happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

10 Then he tell them say: “Country will fight country, and kingdom will fight kingdom. 11 And strong earthquake will happen. In different-different areas, food business will be hard and all kindna sickness will be spreading. People will see thing dem happening da will make them scare, and they will see wonderful sign from heaven.

12 “But before all this thing dem happen, people will arrest yor and treat yor bad. They will carry yor to the synagogues and put yor in jail. And they will carry yor to governors and kings because of my name. 13 And because of da yor will preach to them. 14 So yor mon make up your mind to not practice before time what yor will say to defend yourself. 15 Because I will make yor wise and help yor to know what to say. And yor enemy dem will not be able to say anything again. 16 But even your ma, your pa, your brother dem, your relatives and your friend dem will carry yor to court, and they will kill some of yor. 17 And everybody will hate yor because of my name. 18 But even one hair will not move from on your head. 19 If yor endure to the end, yor will be save.

20 “But when yor see soldier people surround Jerusalem, yor mon know da the time for her to be destroy near. 21 Then let the people who in Ju·de′a start running to the mountains, and let the people dem da living in Jerusalem leave from there. And the people dem da living in the interior mon not go in Jerusalem. 22 Because da the time God will punish people, so da all the thing dem they write in the Scriptures will happen. 23 Da time, it will really be bad for big belly women and baby ma dem! Because real suffering will be in the land and God will punish the people. 24 And they will kill some of them with the sword and carry the other one dem to different-different countries to be slaves. And the other nation dem will control Jerusalem until the time* for the nations end.

25 “Also, people will see signs in the sun, the moon and the stars. And the nation dem will be in pain and they will be confuse and they will not know what to do. And da because the sea will be rough and it will make loud noise. 26 People will faint because they scare and because of the thing dem they expecting to happen on earth. And also because the powerful thing dem in heaven will shake. 27 And people will see the Son of man coming in the cloud with power and great glory. 28 But when this thing dem start happening, yor stand up straight and lift up your head, because the time for yor to be save near.”

29 Then he give them one example, he say: “Think about the fig tree and all the other tree dem. 30 When yor see da it getting new leaf, yor can know da rainy season coming. 31 Da the same way, when yor see this thing dem, yor mon know da God Kingdom near. 32 To tell yor the truth, this generation will never pass away until all this thing dem happen. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but this thing dem I say will never pass away.

34 “But yor be careful to not eat too much, drink too much or worry too much about the thing dem yor need. So da day can’t come and yor not even know 35 and it be like trap for yor. Because da day will affect everybody all over the world. 36 So yor mon not sleep, and yor mon really beg God all the time so da yor can be save when all this thing dem happen and be able to stand in front of the Son of man.”

37 So in the day he use to teach in the temple, but in the night he use to go sleep in one of the village dem on the Mount of Olives. 38 And soon in the morning all the people use to come to listen to him in the temple.
