1 And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings! 2 And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? 5 And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 6 Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.

9 But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations. 11 And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

14 But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains: 15 and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: 16 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 17 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 18 And pray ye that it be not in the winter. 19 For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. 20 And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not: 22 for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

28 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 29 even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. 35 Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

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!

2 Na 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.

3 A, 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,

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

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

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

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

8 Ka 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.

9 Na, 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.

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

11 Ina 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.

12 Na 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.

13 A 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.

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:

15 Ko 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:

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

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

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

19 He 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.

20 Me 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.

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

22 E 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.

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

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

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

26 Na 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.

27 Ko 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.

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:

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

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

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

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

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

34 Ka 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.

35 Ae 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:

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

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