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

¹And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!

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

²And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.

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

³And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

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

⁴Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ ይላቸው ጀመር። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁵And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

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

⁶Many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and shall lead many astray.

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

⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: [these things] must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.

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

⁸For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.

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

⁹But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁰አስቀድሞም ወንጌል ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ ይሰበክ ዘንድ ይገባል።

¹⁰And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.

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

¹¹And when they lead you [to judgment], and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

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

¹²And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

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

¹³And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

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

¹⁴But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:

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

¹⁵and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out his house:

¹⁶በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

¹⁶and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

¹⁷በዚያን ወራትም ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

¹⁷But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

¹⁸ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

¹⁸And pray ye that it be not in the winter.

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

¹⁹For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.

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

²⁰And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

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

²¹And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe [it] not:

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

²²for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.

²³እናንተ ግን ተጠንቀቁ፤ እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ሁሉን ነገርኋችሁ።

²³But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

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

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

²⁵ከዋክብትም ከሰማይ ይወድቃሉ፥ የሰማያትም ኃይላት ይናወጣሉ።

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

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

²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

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

²⁷And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

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

²⁸Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;

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

²⁹even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors.

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

³⁰Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.

³¹ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

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

³²But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³ጊዜው መቼ እንዲሆን አታውቁምና ተጠንቀቁ፤ ትጉ፤ ጸልዩም።

³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

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

³⁴[It is] as [when] a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

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

³⁵Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;

³⁶ድንገት መጥቶ ተኝታችሁ እንዳያገኛችሁ ስለዚህ ትጉ።

³⁶lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷ለእናንተም የምነግራችሁ ለሁሉ እላለሁ፤ ትጉ።

³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
