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.

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

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.”

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

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?”

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

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

⁴ኢየሱስም መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው። ማንም እንዳያስታችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

⁸እነዚህም ሁሉ የምጥ ጣር መጀመሪያ ናቸው።

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.

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

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

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

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

¹¹ብዙ ሐሰተኞች ነቢያትም ይነሣሉ ብዙዎችንም ያስታሉ፤

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

¹²ከዓመፃም ብዛት የተነሣ የብዙ ሰዎች ፍቅር ትቀዘቅዛለች።

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

¹³እስከ መጨረሻ የሚጸና ግን እርሱ ይድናል።

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.

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

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),

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

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

¹⁶በዚያን ጊዜ በይሁዳ ያሉት ወደ ተራራዎች ይሽሹ፥

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

¹⁷በሰገነትም ያለ በቤቱ ያለውን ሊወስድ አይውረድ፥

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

¹⁸በእርሻም ያለ ልብሱን ይወስድ ዘንድ ወደ ኋላው አይመለስ።

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

¹⁹በዚያችም ወራት ለርጉዞችና ለሚያጠቡ ወዮላቸው።

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

²⁰ነገር ግን ሽሽታችሁ በክረምት ወይም በሰንበት እንዳይሆን ጸልዩ፤

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

²⁵ “Behold, I have told you beforehand.

²⁵እነሆ፥ አስቀድሜ ነገርኋችሁ።

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.

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

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.

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

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

²⁸በድን ወዳለበት በዚያ አሞራዎች ይሰበሰባሉ።

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

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

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.

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፤

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

³⁵ሰማይና ምድር ያልፋሉ፥ ቃሌ ግን አያልፍም።

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.

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

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

³⁷የኖኅ ዘመን እንደ ነበረ የሰው ልጅ መምጣት እንዲሁ ይሆናልና።

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ሁለት ሴቶች በወፍጮ ይፈጫሉ፤ አንዲቱ ትወሰዳለች አንዲቱም ትቀራለች።

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

⁴²ጌታችሁ በምን ሰዓት እንዲመጣ አታውቁምና እንግዲህ ንቁ።

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

⁴⁶ጌታው መጥቶ እንዲህ ሲያደርግ የሚያገኘው ያ ባሪያ ብፁዕ ነው፤

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

⁴⁷እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ባለው ሁሉ ላይ ይሾመዋል።

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

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

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

⁴⁹ባልንጀሮቹን ባሮች ሊመታ ቢጀምር ከሰካሮችም ጋር ቢበላና ቢጠጣ፥

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,

⁵⁰የዚያ ባሪያ ጌታ ባልጠበቃት ቀን ባላወቃትም ሰዓት ይመጣል፥

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.

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