< Mark 13 >

1 As He was leaving the Temple, one of His disciples exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, what wonderful stones! what wonderful buildings!"
ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܐ ܚܙܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܒܢܝܢܐ
2 "You see all these great buildings?" Jesus replied; "not one stone will be left here upon another--not thrown down."
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܒܩܐ ܗܪܟܐ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܕܠܐ ܡܤܬܬܪܐ
3 He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܙܝܬܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ
4 "Tell us, When will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܫܬܠܡܘ
5 So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ
6 Many will come assuming my name and saying, 'I am He;' and they will mislead many.
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܛܥܘܢ
7 But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.
ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܘܛܒܐ ܕܩܐܪܤܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܚܪܬܐ
8 For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.
ܢܩܘܡ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܠܟܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܙܘܥܐ ܒܕܘܟܐ ܕܘܟܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܟܦܢܐ ܘܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܚܒܠܐ
9 "You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.
ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܘܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܬܬܢܓܕܘܢ ܘܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܗܘܢ
10 But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.
ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܬܟܪܙ ܤܒܪܬܝ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ
11 When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
ܡܐ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܩܕܡܘܢ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܠܠܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
12 "Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
ܢܫܠܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܒܐ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܡܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
13 You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.
ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܤܝܒܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܚܐ
14 "As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not" --let the reader observe these words--"then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;
ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܡܝܪܐ ܒܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܤܬܟܠ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ
15 let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;
ܘܡܢ ܕܒܐܓܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܢܚܘܬ ܘܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܡܫܩܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ
16 and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up his outer garment.
ܘܡܢ ܕܒܚܩܠܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܢܬܗܦܟ ܠܒܤܬܪܗ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܠܒܫܗ
17 And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
ܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܒܛܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢܩܢ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ
18 "But pray that it may not come in the winter.
ܨܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܪܘܩܝܟܘܢ ܒܤܬܘܐ
19 For those will be times of suffering the like of which has never been from the first creation of God's world until now, and assuredly never will be again;
ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܪܝܫ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ
20 and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.
ܘܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܪܝ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܚܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܓܒܐ ܟܪܝ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ
21 "At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܐ ܗܪܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܗܐ ܗܪܬܡܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ
22 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray--if indeed that were possible--even God's own People.
ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܕܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܘܢܬܠܘܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܘܢܛܥܘܢ ܐܢ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܦ ܠܓܒܝܐ
23 But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܗܐ ܩܕܡܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ
24 "At that time, however, after that distress, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light;
ܒܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܒܬܪ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܡܫܐ ܢܚܫܟ ܘܤܗܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܢܘܗܪܗ
25 the stars will be seen falling from the firmament, and the forces which are in the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
ܘܟܘܟܒܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܬܙܝܥܘܢ
26 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܥܡ ܚܝܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܥܡ ܫܘܒܚܐ
27 Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܫܕܪ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܘܢܟܢܫ ܠܓܒܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥܬܝܗܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܢ ܪܫܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܫܗ ܕܫܡܝܐ
28 "Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
ܡܢ ܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܠܦܘ ܦܠܐܬܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܪܟ ܤܘܟܝܗ ܘܦܪܥܘ ܛܪܦܝܗ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܛܐ ܩܝܛܐ
29 So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ
30 I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
31 Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܘܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܢܥܒܪܢ
32 "But as to that day or the exact time no one knows--not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܠ ܫܥܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܐ
33 Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen.
ܚܙܘ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܨܠܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ
34 It is like a man living abroad who has left his house, and given the management to his servants--to each one his special duty--and has ordered the porter to keep awake.
ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܙܩ ܘܫܒܩ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܠܬܪܥܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥܝܪ
35 Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn.
ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܐܬܐ ܡܪܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܐܘ ܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܡܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܐܘ ܒܨܦܪܐ
36 Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep.
ܕܠܡܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܢܫܟܚܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܡܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
37 Moreover, what I say to you I say to all--Be wakeful!"
ܡܕܡ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܝܪܝܢ
