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

¹And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!

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

²And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? not a stone shall be left upon a stone, 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 opposite 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 is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ ይላቸው ጀመር። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁵And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any one mislead you.

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

⁶For many shall come in my name, saying, It is *I*, and shall mislead many.

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

⁷But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for [this] must happen, 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 up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these things [are the] beginnings of throes.

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

⁹But *ye*, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;

¹⁰አስቀድሞም ወንጌል ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ ይሰበክ ዘንድ ይገባል።

¹⁰and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

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

¹¹But when they shall lead you away to deliver you up, be not careful beforehand as to what ye shall say, [nor prepare your discourse]: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for *ye* are not the speakers, but the Holy Spirit.

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

¹²But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father 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 will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, *he* 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 shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider [it],) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;

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

¹⁵and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house;

¹⁶በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

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

¹⁷በዚያን ወራትም ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

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

¹⁸ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

¹⁸And pray that it may not be in winter time;

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

¹⁹for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the] beginning of 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 if [the] Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.

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

²¹And then if any one say to 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 false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

²³እናንተ ግን ተጠንቀቁ፤ እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ሁሉን ነገርኋችሁ።

²³But do *ye* take 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 distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;

²⁵ከዋክብትም ከሰማይ ይወድቃሉ፥ የሰማያትም ኃይላት ይናወጣሉ።

²⁵and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which 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 his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.

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

²⁸But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

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

²⁹Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors.

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

³⁰Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place.

³¹ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³¹The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

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

³²But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

³³ጊዜው መቼ እንዲሆን አታውቁምና ተጠንቀቁ፤ ትጉ፤ ጸልዩም።

³³Take heed, watch and pray, for ye do not know 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 a man gone out of the country, having left his house and given to his bondmen the authority, and to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.

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

³⁵Watch therefore, for ye do not know when the master of the house comes: evening, or midnight, or cock-crow, or morning;

³⁶ድንገት መጥቶ ተኝታችሁ እንዳያገኛችሁ ስለዚህ ትጉ።

³⁶lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷ለእናንተም የምነግራችሁ ለሁሉ እላለሁ፤ ትጉ።

³⁷But what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
