¹¶ A, i a ia e haere atu ana i te temepara, ka mea tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, nana, te tu o nga kohatu, te tu o nga whare!

¹And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, `Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!`

²Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ka kite koe i enei whare nunui? e kore tetahi kohatu e waiho i konei i runga ake i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.

²and Jesus answering said to him, `Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.`

³A, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Oriwa i te ritenga atu o te temepara, ka ui puku ki a ia a Pita, a Hemi, a Hoani, a Anaru,

³And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

⁴Korerotia mai ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea, a he aha te tohu ina tata enei mea katoa te rite?

⁴`Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?`

⁵¶ Na ka anga ia, ka korero ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata:

⁵And Jesus answering them, began to say, `Take heed lest any one may lead you astray,

⁶He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia; a he tokomaha e mamingatia.

⁶for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and many they shall lead astray;

⁷E rongo koutou ki nga pakanga, ki nga hau pakanga, kei ohorere: kua takoto hoki he putanga mo aua mea; taihoa rawa ia te mutunga.

⁷and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet;

⁸Ka whakatika hoki tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga: a he tini nga wahi e puta ai he ru; ka puta ano hoki he po matekai: ko te timatanga enei o nga mamae.

⁸for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows [are] these.

⁹Na, kia tupato ki a koutou: ka tukua hoki koutou ki nga runanga; ka whiua koutou i roto i nga whare karakia; a ka whakaturia koutou ki te aroaro o nga kawana, o nga kingi, mo te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

⁹`And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

¹⁰Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia matua kauwhautia te rongopai ki nga tauiwi katoa.

¹⁰and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.

¹¹Ina arahina koutou ki te whakawa, a ka tukua atu, kaua e manukanuka wawe ki ta koutou e korero ai: engari ko te mea e hoatu ki a koutou i taua haora, ko tena ta koutou e korero ai: ehara hoki i te mea ma koutou nga korero, engari ma te Wairua Ta pu.

¹¹`And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

¹²Na ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tamaiti hoki e te papa; a ka whakatika nga tamariki ki nga matua, ka mea kia whakamatea.

¹²`And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

¹³A ka kinongia koutou e nga tangata katoa, he mea mo toku ingoa: ko te tangata ia e u ana a taea noatia te mutunga, ko ia e ora.

¹³and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end — he shall be saved.

¹⁴¶ A, ki te kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro e tu ana i te wahi e kore e tika, kia matau te kaititiro pukapuka, ko reira me rere te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga:

¹⁴`And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

¹⁵Ko te tangata hoki i runga i te whare kaua e heke iho ki roto ki te whare, kaua hoki e tomo ki te tiki i tetahi mea i roto i tona whare:

¹⁵and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

¹⁶Kaua ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tona kakahu.

¹⁶and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

¹⁷Aue te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!

¹⁷`And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;

¹⁸Ma koutou ia e inoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke.

¹⁸and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,

¹⁹He whakapawera hoki aua ra, kahore ona rite o te orokohanganga ra ano i hanga nei e te Atua, a mohoa noa nei, kahore hoki he pera a muri ake nei.

¹⁹for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

²⁰Me i kahore hoki aua ra i poroa i waenga e te Ariki, e kore tetahi kikokiko e ora: otira ka whakaaroa te hunga whiriwhiri i whiriwhiria e ia, a poroa ana aua ra i waenga.

²⁰and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

²¹Ki te mea tetahi ki a koutou i reira, Na, tenei a te Karaiti; Na, tera: kaua e whakaponohia:

²¹`And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

²²E whakatika hoki nga Karaiti teka, me nga poropiti teka, ka whakaatu i nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo, a me i taea, ka mamingatia e ratou te hunga whiriwhiri.

²²for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

²³Kia tupato ra koutou: na, kua korerotia wawetia nei e ahau nga mea katoa ki a koutou.

²³and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.

²⁴¶ Na, i aua ra, i muri iho i taua whakapawera, ka whakapouritia te ra, e kore hoki e titi te atarau.

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

²⁵Ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ka ngaueue nga mea kaha o nga rangi.

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

²⁶Na ko reira kitea ai te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i nga kapua, me te kaha nui, me te kororia.

²⁶`And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,

²⁷Ko reira ano ia tono ai i ana anahera, a ka huihuia ana i whiriwhiri ai i nga hau e wha, i te pito o te whenua tae noa ki te pito o te rangi.

²⁷and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

²⁸¶ Na kia akona koutou e te piki ki tetahi kupu whakarite: I tona manga e ngawari ana, e puta ana hoki nga rau, ka mohio koutou ka tata te raumati:

²⁸`And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer;

²⁹Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e pauta mai ana, ka matau ka tata ia, kei nga kuwaha.

²⁹so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.

³⁰He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tenei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.

³⁰Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

³¹Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo: ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.

³¹the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³²Otiia kahore tetahi tangata e matau ki taua ra, ki taua haora, kahore nga anahera o te rangi, kahore te Tama, ko te Matua anake.

³²`And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son — except the Father.

³³Kia tupato, kia mataara, me te inoi ano: kahore hoki koutou e matau ki te wa, ko a hea ranei.

³³Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

³⁴Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, mahue iho i a ia tona whare, a tukua iho e ia nga tikanga ki ana pononga, tana mahi ma tetahi, ma tetahi, ka whakahau iho hoki ki te kaitiaki tatau kia mataara.

³⁴as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

³⁵Ae ra, kia mataara: kahore hoki koutou e matau ki te wa e haere mai ai te rangatira o te whare, ko te ahiahi, ko waenganui po ranei, ko te tangihanga o te heihei, ko te atatu ranei:

³⁵watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

³⁶Kei puta whakarere mai, ka rokohanga koutou e ia e moe ana.

³⁶lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;

³⁷Na, ko taku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana ano ki te katoa, Kia mataara.

³⁷and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.`
