¹ዓይኑንም አንሥቶ መባቸውን በመዝገብ የሚጥሉ ባለ ጠጎችን አየ።

¹And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;

²አንዲትም ድሀ መበለት ሁለት ሳንቲም በዚያ ስትጥል አየና።

²but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.

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

³And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;

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

⁴for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts [of God]; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.

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

⁵And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,

⁶ድንጋይ በድንጋይ ላይ ሳይፈርስ በዚህ የማይቀርበት ዘመን ይመጣል አለ።

⁶[As to] these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which 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 then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going to take place?

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

⁸And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am [he], and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not [therefore] 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 first take place, but the end is not immediately.

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

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

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

¹¹there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights 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 upon you and persecute you, delivering [you] up to synagogues and prisons, bringing [you] before kings and governors on account of my name;

¹³ይህም ለምስክርነት ይሆንላችኋል።

¹³but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

¹⁴ሰለዚህ እንዴት እንድትመልሱ አስቀድማችሁ እንዳታስቡ በልባችሁ አኑሩት፤

¹⁴Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand [your] defence,

¹⁵ወደረኞቻችሁ ሁሉ ሊቃወሙና ሊከራከሩ የማይችሉትን አፍና ጥበብ እሰጣችኋለሁና።

¹⁵for *I* will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.

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

¹⁶But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death [some] from among you,

¹⁷በሁሉም ስለ ስሜ የተጠላችሁ ትሆናላችሁ።

¹⁷and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.

¹⁸ከራሳችሁም አንዲት ጠጉር ስንኳ አትጠፋም፤

¹⁸And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.

¹⁹በመታገሣችሁም ነፍሳችሁን ታገኛላችሁ።

¹⁹By your patient endurance gain your souls.

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

²⁰But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.

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

²¹Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;

²²የተጻፈው ሁሉ እንዲፈጸም ይህ የበቀል ጊዜ ነውና።

²²for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.

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

²³But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon 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 be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of [the] nations until [the] times of [the] nations 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 [at] the roar of the sea and rolling waves,

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

²⁶men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, 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 draws nigh.

²⁹ምሳሌንም ነገራቸው እንዲህ ሲል። በለስንና ዛፎችን ሁሉ እዩ፤

²⁹And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;

³⁰ሲያቈጠቍጡ ተመልክታችሁ በጋ አሁን እንደ ቀረበ ራሳችሁ ታውቃላችሁ።

³⁰when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, [on] looking [at them], that already the summer is near.

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

³¹So also *ye*, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.

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

³²Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.

³³ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³³The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

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

³⁴But take heed to yourselves lest possibly your hearts be laden with surfeiting and drinking and cares of life, and that day come upon you suddenly unawares;

³⁵በምድር ሁሉ ላይ በሚቀመጡ ሁሉ እንደ ወጥመድ ይደርስባቸዋልና።

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

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

³⁶Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to 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 by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called [the mount] of Olives;

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.
