¹And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,

¹ኢየሱስም ከመቅደስ ወጥቶ ሄደ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም የመቅደሱን ግንቦች ሊያሳዩት ቀረቡ።

²and Jesus said to them, `Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.`

²እርሱ ግን መልሶ። ይህን ሁሉ ታያላችሁን? እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ አይቀርም አላቸው።

³And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?`

³እርሱም በደብረ ዘይት ተቀምጦ ሳለ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ለብቻቸው ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው። ንገረን፥ ይህ መቼ ይሆናል? የመምጣትህና የዓለም መጨረሻ ምልክቱስ ምንድር ነው? አሉት።

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

⁴ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁵for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

⁵ብዙዎች። እኔ ክርስቶስ ነኝ እያሉ በስሜ ይመጣሉና፤ ብዙዎችንም ያስታሉ።

⁶and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

⁶ጦርንም የጦርንም ወሬ ትሰሙ ዘንድ አላችሁ፤ ይህ ሊሆን ግድ ነውና ተጠበቁ፥ አትደንግጡ፤ ዳሩ ግን መጨረሻው ገና ነው።

⁷`For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;

⁷ሕዝብ በሕዝብ ላይ መንግሥትም በመንግሥት ላይ ይነሣልና፥ ራብም ቸነፈርም የምድርም መናወጥ በልዩ ልዩ ስፍራ ይሆናል፤

⁸and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows;

⁸እነዚህም ሁሉ የምጥ ጣር መጀመሪያ ናቸው።

⁹then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

⁹በዚያን ጊዜ ለመከራ አሳልፈው ይሰጡአችኋል ይገድሉአችሁማል፥ ስለ ስሜም በአሕዛብ ሁሉ የተጠላችሁ ትሆናላችሁ።

¹⁰and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

¹⁰በዚያን ጊዜም ብዙዎች ይሰናከላሉ እርስ በርሳቸውም አሳልፈው ይሰጣጣሉ እርስ በርሳቸውም ይጣላሉ፤

¹¹`And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

¹¹ብዙ ሐሰተኞች ነቢያትም ይነሣሉ ብዙዎችንም ያስታሉ፤

¹²and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;

¹²ከዓመፃም ብዛት የተነሣ የብዙ ሰዎች ፍቅር ትቀዘቅዛለች።

¹³but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

¹³እስከ መጨረሻ የሚጸና ግን እርሱ ይድናል።

¹⁴and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

¹⁴ለአሕዛብም ሁሉ ምስክር እንዲሆን ይህ የመንግሥት ወንጌል በዓለም ሁሉ ይሰበካል፥ በዚያን ጊዜም መጨረሻው ይመጣል።

¹⁵`Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

¹⁵እንግዲህ በነቢዩ በዳንኤል የተባለውን የጥፋትን ርኩሰት በተቀደሰችው ስፍራ ቆሞ ስታዩ፥ አንባቢው ያስተውል፥

¹⁶then those in Judea — let them flee to the mounts;

¹⁶በዚያን ጊዜ በይሁዳ ያሉት ወደ ተራራዎች ይሽሹ፥

¹⁷he on the house-top — let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;

¹⁷በሰገነትም ያለ በቤቱ ያለውን ሊወስድ አይውረድ፥

¹⁸and he in the field — let him not turn back to take his garments.

¹⁸በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

¹⁹`And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

¹⁹በዚያችም ወራት ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

²⁰and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;

²⁰ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት ወይም በሰንበት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

²¹for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

²¹በዚያን ጊዜ ከዓለም መጀመሪያ ጀምሮ እስከ ዛሬ ድረስ ያልሆነ እንግዲህም ከቶ የማይሆን ታላቅ መከራ ይሆናልና።

²²And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

²²እነዚያ ቀኖችስ ባያጥሩ ሥጋ የለበሰ ሁሉ ባልዳነም ነበር፤ ነገር ግን እነዚያ ቀኖች ስለ ተመረጡት ሰዎች ያጥራሉ።

²³`Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

²³በዚያን ጊዜ ማንም። እነሆ፥ ክርስቶስ ከዚህ አለ ወይም። ከዚያ አለ ቢላችሁ አትመኑ፤

²⁴for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

²⁴ሐሰተኞች ክርስቶሶችና ሐሰተኞች ነቢያት ይነሣሉና፥ ቢቻላቸውስ የተመረጡትን እንኳ እስኪያስቱ ድረስ ታላላቅ ምልክትና ድንቅ ያሳያሉ።

²⁵Lo, I did tell you beforehand.

²⁵እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ነገርኋችሁ።

²⁶`If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;

²⁶እንግዲህ። እነሆ፥ በበረሀ ነው ቢሉአችሁ፥ አትውጡ፤ እነሆ፥ በእልፍኝ ነው ቢሉአችሁ፥ አትመኑ፤

²⁷for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

²⁷መብረቅ ከምሥራቅ ወጥቶ እስከ ምዕራብ እንደሚታይ፥ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት እንዲሁ ይሆናልና፤

²⁸for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

²⁸በድን ወዳለበት በዚያ አሞራዎች ይሰበሰባሉ።

²⁹`And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;

²⁹ከዚያች ወራትም መከራ በኋላ ወዲያው ፀሐይ ይጨልማል፥ ጨረቃም ብርሃንዋን አትሰጥም፥ ከዋክብትም ከሰማይ ይወድቃሉ፥

³⁰and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;

³⁰የሰማያትም ኃይላት ይናወጣሉ። በዚያን ጊዜም የሰው ልጅ ምልክት በሰማይ ይታያል፥ በዚያን ጊዜም የምድር ወገኖች ሁሉ ዋይ ዋይ ይላሉ፥ የሰው ልጅንም በኃይልና በብዙ ክብር በሰማይ ደመና ሲመጣ ያዩታል፤

³¹and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.

³¹መላእክቱንም ከታላቅ መለከት ድምፅ ጋር ይልካቸዋል፥ ከሰማያትም ዳርቻ እስከ ዳርቻው ከአራቱ ነፋሳት ለእርሱ የተመረጡትን ይሰበስባሉ።

³²`And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh,

³²ምሳሌውንም ከበለስ ተማሩ፤ ጫፍዋ ሲለሰልስ ቅጠልዋም ሲያቈጠቍጥ፥ ያን ጊዜ በጋ እንደ ቀረበ ታውቃላችሁ፤

³³so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh — at the doors.

³³እንዲሁ እናንተ ደግሞ ይህን ሁሉ ስታዩ በደጅ እንደ ቀረበ እወቁ።

³⁴Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.

³⁴እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ይህ ሁሉ እስኪሆን ድረስ ይህ ትውልድ አያልፍም።

³⁵The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁵ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ፥ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³⁶`And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers of the heavens — except my Father only;

³⁶ስለዚያች ቀንና ስለዚያች ሰዓት ግን ከአባት ብቻ በቀር የሰማይ መላእክትም ቢሆኑ ልጅም ቢሆን የሚያውቅ የለም።

³⁷and as the days of Noah — so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

³⁷የኖኅ ዘመን እንደ ነበረ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት እንዲሁ ይሆናልና።

³⁸for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,

³⁸በዚያች ወራት ከጥፋት ውኃ በፊት፥ ኖኅ ወደ መርከብ እስከገባበት ቀን ድረስ፥ ሲበሉና ሲጠጡ ሲያገቡና ሲጋቡም እንደ ነበሩ፥

³⁹and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.

³⁹የጥፋት ውኃም መጥቶ ሁሉን እስከ ወሰደ ድረስ እንዳላወቁ፥ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት ደግሞ እንዲሁ ይሆናል።

⁴⁰Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left;

⁴⁰በዚያን ጊዜ ሁለት ሰዎች በእርሻ ይሆናሉ፤ አንዱ ይወሰዳል አንዱም ይቀራል፤

⁴¹two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.

⁴¹ሁለት ሴቶች በወፍጮ ይፈጫሉ፤ አንዲቱ ትወሰዳለች አንዲቱም ትቀራለች።

⁴²`Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

⁴²ጌታችሁ በምን ሰዓት እንዲመጣ አታውቁምና እንግዲህ ንቁ።

⁴³and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

⁴³ያን ግን እወቁ፤ ባለቤት ከሌሊቱ በየትኛው ክፍል ሌባ እንዲመጣ ቢያውቅ ኖሮ፥ በነቃ ቤቱም ሊቈፈር ባልተወም ነበር።

⁴⁴because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

⁴⁴ስለዚህ እናንተ ደግሞ ተዘጋጅታችሁ ኑሩ፥ የሰው ልጅ በማታስቡበት ሰዓት ይመጣልና።

⁴⁵`Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

⁴⁵እንኪያስ ምግባቸውን በጊዜው ይሰጣቸው ዘንድ ጌታው በቤተ ሰዎች ላይ የሾመው ታማኝና ልባም ባሪያ ማን ነው?

⁴⁶Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

⁴⁶ጌታው መጥቶ እንዲህ ሲያደርግ የሚያገኘው ያ ባሪያ ብፁዕ ነው፤

⁴⁷verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him.

⁴⁷እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ባለው ሁሉ ላይ ይሾመዋል።

⁴⁸`And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,

⁴⁸ያ ክፉ ባሪያ ግን። ጌታዬ እስኪመጣ ይዘገያል ብሎ በልቡ ቢያስብ፥

⁴⁹and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

⁴⁹ባልንጀሮቹን ባሮች ሊመታ ቢጀምር ከሰካሮችም ጋር ቢበላና ቢጠጣ፥

⁵⁰the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know,

⁵⁰የዚያ ባሪያ ጌታ ባልጠበቃት ቀን ባላወቃትም ሰዓት ይመጣል፥

⁵¹and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

⁵¹ከሁለትም ይሰነጥቀዋል፥ እድሉንም ከግብዞች ጋር ያደርግበታል፤ በዚያ ልቅሶና ጥርስ ማፋጨት ይሆናል።
