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

¹ Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

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

² But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”

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

³As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”

⁴ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁴Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

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

⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.

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

⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.

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

⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.

⁸እነዚህም ሁሉ የምጥ ጣር መጀመሪያ ናቸው።

⁸ But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

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

⁹ Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

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

¹⁰ Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

¹¹ብዙ ሐሰተኞች ነቢያትም ይነሣሉ ብዙዎችንም ያስታሉ፤

¹¹ Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

¹²ከዓመፃም ብዛት የተነሣ የብዙ ሰዎች ፍቅር ትቀዘቅዛለች።

¹² Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

¹³እስከ መጨረሻ የሚጸና ግን እርሱ ይድናል።

¹³ But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

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

¹⁴ This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

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

¹⁵ “When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

¹⁶በዚያን ጊዜ በይሁዳ ያሉት ወደ ተራራዎች ይሽሹ፥

¹⁶ then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

¹⁷በሰገነትም ያለ በቤቱ ያለውን ሊወስድ አይውረድ፥

¹⁷ Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.

¹⁸በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

¹⁸ Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.

¹⁹በዚያችም ወራት ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

¹⁹ But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

²⁰ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት ወይም በሰንበት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

²⁰ Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,

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

²¹ for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

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

²² Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

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

²³ “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There,’ don’t believe it.

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

²⁴ For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁵እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ነገርኋችሁ።

²⁵ “Behold, I have told you beforehand.

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

²⁶ If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

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

²⁷ For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

²⁸በድን ወዳለበት በዚያ አሞራዎች ይሰበሰባሉ።

²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures or, eagles gather together.

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

²⁹ But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; Isaiah 13:10; 34:4

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፤

³⁰ and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

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

³¹ He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

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

³² “Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.

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

³³ Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

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

³⁴ Most certainly I tell you, this generation The word for “generation” (genea) can also be translated as “race.” will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.

³⁵ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ፥ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

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

³⁶ But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, NU adds “nor the son” but my Father only.

³⁷የኖኅ ዘመን እንደ ነበረ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት እንዲሁ ይሆናልና።

³⁷ “As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

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

³⁸ For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,

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

³⁹ and they didn’t know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

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

⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left;

⁴¹ሁለት ሴቶች በወፍጮ ይፈጫሉ፤ አንዲቱ ትወሰዳለች አንዲቱም ትቀራለች።

⁴¹ two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left.

⁴²ጌታችሁ በምን ሰዓት እንዲመጣ አታውቁምና እንግዲህ ንቁ።

⁴² Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.

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

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

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

⁴⁴ Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.

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

⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

⁴⁶ጌታው መጥቶ እንዲህ ሲያደርግ የሚያገኘው ያ ባሪያ ብፁዕ ነው፤

⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

⁴⁷እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ባለው ሁሉ ላይ ይሾመዋል።

⁴⁷ Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

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

⁴⁸ But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’

⁴⁹ባልንጀሮቹን ባሮች ሊመታ ቢጀምር ከሰካሮችም ጋር ቢበላና ቢጠጣ፥

⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

⁵⁰የዚያ ባሪያ ጌታ ባልጠበቃት ቀን ባላወቃትም ሰዓት ይመጣል፥

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it, and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,

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

⁵¹ and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
