¹And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

¹ዓይኑንም አንሥቶ መባቸውን በመዝገብ የሚጥሉ ባለ ጠጎችን አየ።

²And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

²አንዲትም ድሀ መበለት ሁለት ሳንቲም በዚያ ስትጥል አየና።

³And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

³እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህች ድሀ መበለት ከሁሉ ይልቅ አብልጣ ጣለች፤

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.

⁴እነዚህ ሁሉ ከትርፋቸው ወደ እግዚአብሔር መዝገብ ጥለዋልና፤ ይህች ግን ከጕድለትዋ የነበራትን ትዳርዋን ሁሉ ጣለች አለ።

⁵And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

⁵አንዳንዶቹም ስለ መቅደስ በመልካም ድንጋይና በተሰጠው ሽልማት እንዳጌጠ ሲነጋገሩ። ይህማ የምታዩት ሁሉ፥

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.

⁶ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ የማይቀርበት ዘመን ይመጣል አለ።

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?

⁷እነርሱም። መምህር ሆይ፥ እንግዲህ ይህ መቼ ይሆናል? ይህስ ይሆን ዘንድ እንዳለው ምልክቱ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ጠየቁት።

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.

⁸እንዲህም አለ። እንዳትስቱ ተጠንቀቁ፤ ብዙዎች። እኔ ነኝ፥ ዘመኑም ቀርቦአል እያሉ በስሜ ይመጣሉና፤ እነርሱን ተከትላችሁ አትሂዱ።

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.

⁹ጦርንና ሁከትንም በሰማችሁ ጊዜ አትደንግጡ፤ ይህ አስቀድሞ ይሆን ዘንድ ግድ ነውና፥ ነገር ግን መጨረሻው ወዲያው አይሆንም።

¹⁰Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

¹⁰በዚያን ጊዜ እንዲህ አላቸው። ሕዝብ በሕዝብ ላይ፥ መንግሥትም በመንግሥት ላይ ይነሣል፤

¹¹And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

¹¹ታላቅም የምድር መናወጥና በልዩ ልዩ ስፍራ ቸነፈር ራብም ይሆናል፤ የሚያስፈራም ነገር ከሰማይም ታላቅ ምልክት ይሆናል።

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.

¹²ከዚህም ሁሉ በፊት እጃቸውን በላያችሁ ይጭናሉ ያሳድዱአችሁማል፤ ስለ ስሜም ወደ ምኵራብና ወደ ወኅኒ አሳልፈው ይሰጡአችኋል፥ ወደ ነገሥታትና ወደ ገዥዎችም ይወስዱአችኋል፤

¹³And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹³ይህም ለምስክርነት ይሆንላችኋል።

¹⁴Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

¹⁴ሰለዚህ እንዴት እንድትመልሱ አስቀድማችሁ እንዳታስቡ በልባችሁ አኑሩት፤

¹⁵For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

¹⁵ወደረኞቻችሁ ሁሉ ሊቃወሙና ሊከራከሩ የማይችሉትን አፍና ጥበብ እሰጣችኋለሁና።

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.

¹⁶ወላጆችም ስንኳ ወንድሞችም ዘመዶችም ወዳጆችም አሳልፈው ይሰጡአችኋል፥ ከእናንተም አንዳንዱን ይገድላሉ፤

¹⁷And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

¹⁷በሁሉም ስለ ስሜ የተጠላችሁ ትሆናላችሁ።

¹⁸But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

¹⁸ከራሳችሁም አንዲት ጠጉር ስንኳ አትጠፋም፤

¹⁹In your patience possess ye your souls.

¹⁹በመታገሣችሁም ነፍሳችሁን ታገኛላችሁ።

²⁰And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

²⁰ኢየሩሳሌም ግን በጭፍራ ተከባ ስታዩ በዚያን ጊዜ ጥፋትዋ እንደ ቀረበ እወቁ።

²¹Then let them which are in Judaea 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.

²¹የዚያን ጊዜ በይሁዳ ያሉ ወደ ተራራዎች ይሽሹ፥ በመካከልዋም ያሉ ከእርስዋ ፈቀቅ ይበሉ፥ በገጠር ያሉም ወደ እርስዋ አይግቡ፤

²²For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²²የተጻፈው ሁሉ እንዲፈጸም ይህ የበቀል ጊዜ ነውና።

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.

²³በዚያን ወራት ለእርጕዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው፤ ታላቅ ችግር በምድር ላይ፥ በዚህም ሕዝብ ላይ ቍጣ ይሆናልና፤

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.

²⁴በሰይፍ ስለትም ይወድቃሉ፤ ወደ አሕዛብ ሁሉም ይማረካሉ፤ የአሕዛብም ዘመን እስኪፈጸም ድረስ ኢየሩሳሌም በአሕዛብ የተረገጠች ትሆናለች።

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;

²⁵በፀሐይና በጨረቃም በከዋክብትም ምልክት ይሆናል፤ በምድር ላይም አሕዛብ ከባሕሩና ከሞገዱም ድምፅ የተነሣ እያመነቱ ይጨነቃሉ፤

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.

²⁶ሰዎችም ከፍርሃትና በዓለም የሚመጣበትን ከመጠበቅ የተነሣ ይደክማሉ፤ የሰማያት ኃይላት ይናወጣሉና።

²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁷በዚያን ጊዜም የሰው ልጅ በኃይልና በብዙ ክብር በደመና ሲመጣ ያዩታል።

²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁸ይህም ሊሆን ሲጀምር ቤዛችሁ ቀርቦአልና አሻቅባችሁ ራሳችሁን አንሡ።

²⁹And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

²⁹ምሳሌንም ነገራቸው እንዲህ ሲል። በለስንና ዛፎችን ሁሉ እዩ፤

³⁰When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

³⁰ሲያቈጠቍጡ ተመልክታችሁ በጋ አሁን እንደ ቀረበ ራሳችሁ ታውቃላችሁ።

³¹So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

³¹እንዲሁ ደግሞ እናንተ ይህ ሁሉ መሆኑን ስታዩ የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት እንደ ቀረበች እወቁ።

³²Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

³²እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ሁሉ እስኪሆን ድረስ ይህ ትውልድ አያልፍም።

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³³ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

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.

³⁴ነገር ግን ልባችሁ በመጠጥ ብዛትና በስካር ስለ ትዳርም በማሰብ እንዳይከብድ፥ ያ ቀንም በድንገት እንዳይመጣባችሁ ለራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ፤

³⁵For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

³⁵በምድር ሁሉ ላይ በሚቀመጡ ሁሉ እንደ ወጥመድ ይደርስባቸዋልና።

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.

³⁶እንግዲህ ሊመጣ ካለው ከዚህ ሁሉ ለማምለጥ፥ በሰው ልጅም ፊት ለመቆም እንድትችሉ ስትጸልዩ ሁል ጊዜ ትጉ።

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.

³⁷ዕለት ዕለትም በመቅደስ ያስተምር ነበር፥ ሌሊት ግን ደብረ ዘይት ወደምትባል ተራራ ወጥቶ ያድር ነበር።

³⁸And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

³⁸ሕዝቡም ሁሉ ይሰሙት ዘንድ ማልደው በመቅደስ ወደ እርሱ ይመጡ ነበር።
