¹And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, `Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!`

¹እርሱም ከመቅደስ ሲወጣ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ አንዱ። መምህር ሆይ፥ እንዴት ያሉ ድንጋይዎችና እንዴት ያሉ ሕንጻዎች እንደ ሆኑ እይ አለው።

²and Jesus answering said to him, `Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.`

²ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እነዚህን ታላላቅ ሕንጻዎች ታያለህን? ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ አይቀርም አለው።

³And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

³በመቅደስም ትይዩ በደብረ ዘይት ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ ጴጥሮስና ያዕቆብ ዮሐንስም እንድርያስም።

⁴`Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?`

⁴ንገረን፥ ይህ መቼ ይሆናል? ይህስ ሁሉ ይፈጸም ዘንድ እንዳለው ምልክቱ ምንድር ነው? ብለው ለብቻቸው ጠየቁት።

⁵And Jesus answering them, began to say, `Take heed lest any one may lead you astray,

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ ይላቸው ጀመር። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁶for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and many they shall lead astray;

⁶ብዙዎች። እኔ ነኝ እያሉ በስሜ ይመጣሉና፥ ብዙዎችንም ያስታሉ።

⁷and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet;

⁷ጦርንም የጦርንም ወሬ በሰማችሁ ጊዜ አትደንግጡ፤ ይህ ሊሆን ግድ ነውና፥ ነገር ግን መጨረሻው ገና ነው።

⁸for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows [are] these.

⁸ሕዝብ በሕዝብ ላይ መንግሥትም በመንግሥት ላይ ይነሣልና፤ በልዩ ልዩ ስፍራ የምድር መናወጥ ይሆናል፤ ራብ ይሆናል፤ እነዚህ የምጥ ጣር መጀመሪያ ናቸው።

⁹`And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

⁹እናንተ ግን ለራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ፤ ወደ ሸንጎ አሳልፈው ይሰጡአችኋል በምኵራብም ትገረፋላችሁ ምስክርም ይሆንባቸው ዘንድ ስለ እኔ በገዥዎችና በነገሥታት ፊት ትቆማላችሁ።

¹⁰and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.

¹⁰አስቀድሞም ወንጌል ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ ይሰበክ ዘንድ ይገባል።

¹¹`And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

¹¹ሲጐትቱአችሁና አሳልፈው ሲሰጡአችሁም ምን እንድትናገሩ አስቀድማችሁ አትጨነቁ፥ ዳሩ ግን በዚያች ሰዓት የሚሰጣችሁን ተናገሩ፤ የሚነግረው መንፈስ ቅዱስ ነው እንጂ እናንተ አይደላችሁምና።

¹²`And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

¹²ወንድምም ወንድሙን አባትም ልጁን ለሞት አሳልፎ ይሰጣል፥ ልጆችም በወላጆቻቸው ላይ ይነሣሉ። ይገድሉአቸውማል፤

¹³and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end — he shall be saved.

¹³በሁሉም ዘንድ ስለ ስሜ የተጠላችሁ ትሆናላችሁ፤ እስከ መጨረሻ የሚጸና ግን እርሱ ይድናል።

¹⁴`And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

¹⁴ነገር ግን በነቢዩ በዳንኤል የተባለውን የጥፋት ርኵሰት በማይገባው ስፍራ ቆሞ ብታዩ፥ አንባቢው ያስተውል፥ በዚያን ጊዜ በይሁዳ ያሉ ወደ ተራሮች ይሽሹ፥

¹⁵and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

¹⁵በሰገነትም ያለ ወደ ቤት አይውረድ ከቤቱም አንዳች ይወስድ ዘንድ አይግባ፥

¹⁶and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

¹⁶በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

¹⁷`And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;

¹⁷በዚያን ወራትም ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

¹⁸and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,

¹⁸ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

¹⁹for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

¹⁹በዚያን ወራት እግዚአብሔር ከፈጠረው ከፍጥረት መጀመሪያ ጀምሮ እስከ አሁን ድረስ ያልሆነ ደግሞም የማይሆን የመከራ ዓይነት ይሆናልና።

²⁰and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

²⁰ጌታስ ወራቶቹን ባያሳጥር፥ ሥጋ የለበሰ ሁሉ ባልዳነም፤ ነገር ግን ስለ መረጣቸው ምርጦች ወራቶቹን አሳጠረ።

²¹`And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

²¹በዚያን ጊዜም ማንም። እነሆ፥ ክርስቶስ ከዚህ አለ፥ ወይም። እነሆ፥ ከዚያ አለ ቢላችሁ አትመኑ፤

²²for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

²²ሐሰተኞች ክርስቶሶችና ሐሰተኞች ነቢያት ይነሣሉና፥ ቢቻላቸውስ የተመረጡትን እንኳ ያስቱ ዘንድ ምልክትና ድንቅ ያደርጋሉ።

²³and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.

²³እናንተ ግን ተጠንቀቁ፤ እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ሁሉን ነገርኋችሁ።

²⁴`But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

²⁴በዚያን ወራት ግን ከዚያ መከራ በኋላ ፀሐይ ይጨልማል ጨረቃም ብርሃንዋን አትሰጥም፥

²⁵and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁵ከዋክብትም ከሰማይ ይወድቃሉ፥ የሰማያትም ኃይላት ይናወጣሉ።

²⁶`And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,

²⁶በዚያን ጊዜም የሰው ልጅ በብዙ ኃይልና ክብር በደመና ሲመጣ ያዩታል።

²⁷and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

²⁷በዚያን ጊዜም መላእክትን ይልካል ከአራቱ ነፋሳትም ከምድር ዳርቻ እስከ ሰማይ ዳርቻ የተመረጡትን ይሰበስባቸዋል።

²⁸`And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer;

²⁸ምሳሌውንም ከበለስ ተማሩ፤ ጫፍዋ ሲለሰልስ ቅጠልዋም ሲያቈጠቍጥ፥ ያን ጊዜ በጋ እንደ ቀረበ ታውቃላችሁ፤

²⁹so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.

²⁹እንዲሁ ደግሞ እናንተ ይህን ሁሉ መሆኑን ስታዩ ቀርቦ በደጅ እንደ ሆነ እወቁ።

³⁰Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

³⁰እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ሁሉ እስኪሆን ድረስ ይህ ትውልድ አያልፍም።

³¹the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³¹ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³²`And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son — except the Father.

³²ስለዚያች ቀን ወይም ስለዚያች ሰዓት ግን የሰማይ መላእክትም ቢሆኑ ልጅም ቢሆን ከአባት በቀር የሚያውቅ የለም።

³³Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

³³ጊዜው መቼ እንዲሆን አታውቁምና ተጠንቀቁ፤ ትጉ፤ ጸልዩም።

³⁴as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

³⁴ቤቱን ትቶ ወደ ሌላ አገር እንደ ሄደ ሰው ነው፥ ለባሮቹም ሥልጣን ለእያንዳንዱም ሥራውን ሰጥቶ በረኛውን እንዲተጋ አዘዘ።

³⁵watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

³⁵እንግዲህ በማታ ቢሆን ወይም በእኩለ ሌሊት ወይም ዶሮ ሲጮኽ ወይም በማለዳ ቢሆን ባለቤቱ መቼ እንዲመጣ አታውቁምና

³⁶lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;

³⁶ድንገት መጥቶ ተኝታችሁ እንዳያገኛችሁ ስለዚህ ትጉ።

³⁷and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.`

³⁷ለእናንተም የምነግራችሁ ለሁሉ እላለሁ፤ ትጉ።
