< Mark 13 >

1 And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, 'Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!'
And as Jeshu went forth from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Malphona, behold, see those stones and those buildings?
2 and Jesus answering said to him, 'Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.'
But Jeshu said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left here a stone upon a stone which (will) not be destroyed.
3 And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,
And while Jeshu sat on the Mount of Olives before the temple, Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon and Andreas asked him by themselves,
4 'Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?'
Tell us when (these events) shall be, and what is the sign when these all draw nigh to be accomplished.
5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, 'Take heed lest any one may lead you astray,
But he, Jeshu, began to say to them, See that no man deceive you.
6 for many shall come in my name, saying — I am [he], and many they shall lead astray;
For many will come in my name, and will say, I am (He); and many will be deceived.
7 and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet;
But when you hear of battles and the rumour of wars, fear not: for it is that they are to be; but not yet is the end.
8 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows [are] these.
For people shall rise against people, and kingdom against kingdom; and earthquakes will he in various places; and there will be famines and convulsions. These are the beginning of sorrows.
9 'And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;
But look (to) yourselves; for they will deliver you to the judgments; and in their assemblies will they scourge you, and before kings and governors you shall stand on account of their testimony.
10 and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.
But first will be preached my gospel among all the nations.
11 'And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
But when they lead you to deliver you up, be not previously anxious what you shall say, nor premeditate; but that, whatever is given you in that hour, that say. For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of Holiness.
12 'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
But the brother will betray his brother to the death, and the father his son; and children will rise up against their fathers, and shall put them to death;
13 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end — he shall be saved.
and you will be hated by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
14 'And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;
But when you see the unclean sign of desolation, that which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (he who readeth, let him understand!) then let those who are in Jehud flee to the mountain
15 and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;
And he who is upon the roof, let him not descend nor enter in to carry any thing from his house;
16 and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.
and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments.
17 'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days;
But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck, in those days!
18 and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,
But pray that your flight may not be in the winter:
19 for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;
for in those days shall be affliction such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which Aloha created, and until now, nor shall be.
20 and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.
And unless the Lord cut short those days, no flesh would live; but on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, those days he hath cut short.
21 'And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;
Then, if any man shall say to you, Behold, here is the Meshicha! and, Behold, (he is) there! believe not.
22 for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;
For there will arise false Meshichas and prophets of a lie, and will give forth signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect also. But you, beware.
23 and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.
Behold, I have told you every thing before.
24 'But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
But in those days after that affliction the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give forth her light,
25 and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be moved.
26 'And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,
And then will they see the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and with glory.
27 and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.
And then will he send his angels, and will assemble his chosen ones from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the extremity of the heavens.
28 'And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer;
But from the fig-tree learn a parable. When her branches are tender, and she shoots forth her leaves, you know that the summer draws nigh:
29 so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.
so also you, when you see that these things are done, understand that it is near, (even) at the door.
30 Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;
Amen I tell you, That this race shall not pass until these all shall be.
31 the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
32 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known — not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son — except the Father.
But of that day and of that hour man knoweth not, nor the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;
Look: be watchful and pray; for you know not when the time is.
34 as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;
For as a man who hath journeyed, and left his house, and hath given authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and the door-keeper he hath instructed to be watchful;
35 watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;
(so) watch you, therefore, because you know not when cometh the Lord of the house, -in the evening, or in the dividing of the night, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;
36 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;
lest he should come suddenly, and find you sleeping.
37 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'
But what to you I say, that unto all I say, Be watchful.
