¹ዓይኑንም አንሥቶ መባቸውን በመዝገብ የሚጥሉ ባለ ጠጎችን አየ።

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

²አንዲትም ድሀ መበለት ሁለት ሳንቲም በዚያ ስትጥል አየና።

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

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

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

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

⁴for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

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

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

⁶ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ የማይቀርበት ዘመን ይመጣል አለ።

⁶As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

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

⁷And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

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

⁸And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

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

⁹And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.

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

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

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

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

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

¹²But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

¹³ይህም ለምስክርነት ይሆንላችኋል።

¹³It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.

¹⁴ሰለዚህ እንዴት እንድትመልሱ አስቀድማችሁ እንዳታስቡ በልባችሁ አኑሩት፤

¹⁴Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:

¹⁵ወደረኞቻችሁ ሁሉ ሊቃወሙና ሊከራከሩ የማይችሉትን አፍና ጥበብ እሰጣችኋለሁና።

¹⁵for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.

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

¹⁶But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.

¹⁷በሁሉም ስለ ስሜ የተጠላችሁ ትሆናላችሁ።

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

¹⁸ከራሳችሁም አንዲት ጠጉር ስንኳ አትጠፋም፤

¹⁸And not a hair of your head shall perish.

¹⁹በመታገሣችሁም ነፍሳችሁን ታገኛላችሁ።

¹⁹In your patience ye shall win your souls.

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

²⁰But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

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

²¹Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

²²የተጻፈው ሁሉ እንዲፈጸም ይህ የበቀል ጊዜ ነውና።

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

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

²³Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

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

²⁴And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

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

²⁵And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

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

²⁶men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

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

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

²⁸ይህም ሊሆን ሲጀምር ቤዛችሁ ቀርቦአልና አሻቅባችሁ ራሳችሁን አንሡ።

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

²⁹ምሳሌንም ነገራቸው እንዲህ ሲል። በለስንና ዛፎችን ሁሉ እዩ፤

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

³⁰ሲያቈጠቍጡ ተመልክታችሁ በጋ አሁን እንደ ቀረበ ራሳችሁ ታውቃላችሁ።

³⁰when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

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

³¹Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

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

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

³³ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

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

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

³⁴But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

³⁵በምድር ሁሉ ላይ በሚቀመጡ ሁሉ እንደ ወጥመድ ይደርስባቸዋልና።

³⁵for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.

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

³⁶But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

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

³⁷And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.

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

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