¹As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!”

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

²Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down.”

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

³As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

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

⁴“Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?”

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

⁵Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

⁵ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ ይላቸው ጀመር። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

⁶ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he! or, “I AM!” ’ and will lead many astray.

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

⁷ “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.

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

⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.

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

⁹ But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

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

¹⁰ The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.

¹⁰አስቀድሞም ወንጌል ለአሕዛብ ሁሉ ይሰበክ ዘንድ ይገባል።

¹¹ When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

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

¹² “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

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

¹³ You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

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

¹⁴ But when you see the abomination of desolation, Daniel 9:17; 11:31; 12:11 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,

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

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

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

¹⁶ Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

¹⁶በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

¹⁷ But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!

¹⁷በዚያን ወራትም ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

¹⁸ Pray that your flight won’t be in the winter.

¹⁸ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

¹⁹ For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

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

²⁰ Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

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

²¹ Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.

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

²² For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

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

²³ But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

²³እናንተ ግን ተጠንቀቁ፤ እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ሁሉን ነገርኋችሁ።

²⁴ But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

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

²⁵ the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. Isaiah 13:10; 34:4

²⁵ከዋክብትም ከሰማይ ይወድቃሉ፥ የሰማያትም ኃይላት ይናወጣሉ።

²⁶ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

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

²⁷ Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

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

²⁸ “Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

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

²⁹ even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.

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

³⁰ Most certainly I say to you, this generation The word translated “generation” (genea) could also be translated “race,” “family,” or “people.” will not pass away until all these things happen.

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

³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

³¹ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

³² But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

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

³³ Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.

³³ጊዜው መቼ እንዲሆን አታውቁምና ተጠንቀቁ፤ ትጉ፤ ጸልዩም።

³⁴ “It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.

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

³⁵ Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;

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

³⁶ lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.

³⁶ድንገት መጥቶ ተኝታችሁ እንዳያገኛችሁ ስለዚህ ትጉ።

³⁷ What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”

³⁷ለእናንተም የምነግራችሁ ለሁሉ እላለሁ፤ ትጉ።
