1 And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!
2 And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.
3 And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,
4 Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.
5 And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.
6 People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.
7 And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.
8 Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.
9 But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.
10 And the good news has first to be given to all the nations.
11 And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.
12 And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
13 And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.
14 But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:
15 And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:
16 And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
17 And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.
18 And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.
19 For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.
20 And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.
21 And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
22 Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.
23 But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
24 But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,
25 And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.
28 Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;
29 Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
30 Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.
31 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.
32 But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.
33 Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
34 It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.
35 So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, or in the morning;
36 For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep 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.
