Κατα Μαρκον 13
1 Καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, λέγει αὐτῷ εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, “Διδάσκαλε, ἴδε, ποταποὶ λίθοι καὶ ποταπαὶ οἰκοδομαί!”
As he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings."
2 Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Βλέπεις ταύτας τὰς μεγάλας οἰκοδομάς; Οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον, ὃς οὐ μὴ καταλυθῇ.”
And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."
3 Καὶ καθημένου αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν κατέναντι τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ἐπηρώτα αὐτὸν κατʼ ἰδίαν Πέτρος, καὶ Ἰάκωβος, καὶ Ἰωάννης, καὶ Ἀνδρέας,
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 “Εἰπὸν ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα συντελεῖσθαι πάντα;”
"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"
5 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἤρξατο λέγειν αὐτοῖς, “Βλέπετε, μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ.
And Jesus began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 Πολλοὶ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες, ὅτι ‘Ἐγώ εἰμι’, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν.
Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he.' and will lead many astray.
7 Ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γενέσθαι, ἀλλʼ οὔπω τὸ τέλος.
"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 Ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος, καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν. Ἔσονται σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους, ἔσονται λιμοί· ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων ταῦτα.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 Βλέπετε δὲ ὑμεῖς ἑαυτούς· παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς συνέδρια καὶ εἰς συναγωγὰς δαρήσεσθε, καὶ ἐπὶ ἡγεμόνων καὶ βασιλέων σταθήσεσθε ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ, εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.
10 Καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη πρῶτον δεῖ κηρυχθῆναι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον.
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
11 Καὶ ὅταν ἄγωσιν ὑμᾶς παραδιδόντες, μὴ προμεριμνᾶτε τί λαλήσητε, ἀλλʼ ὃ ἐὰν δοθῇ ὑμῖν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, τοῦτο λαλεῖτε, οὐ γάρ ἐστε ὑμεῖς οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον.
When they lead you away and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Καὶ παραδώσει ἀδελφὸς ἀδελφὸν εἰς θάνατον, καὶ πατὴρ τέκνον, καὶ ἐπαναστήσονται τέκνα ἐπὶ γονεῖς καὶ θανατώσουσιν αὐτούς.
"Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
13 Καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου. Ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος, οὗτος σωθήσεται.
And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14 Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε ‘τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως’, ἑστηκότα ὅπου οὐ δεῖ, ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω, τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη,
But when you see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
15 ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος, μὴ καταβάτω, μηδὲ εἰσελθέτω ἆραί τι ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,
and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
16 καὶ ὁ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν, μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ.
Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
17 Οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις!
But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days.
18 Προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται χειμῶνος.
And pray that it won't be in the winter.
19 Ἔσονται γὰρ αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι θλῖψις, οἵα οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη, ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως ἣν ἔκτισεν ὁ ˚Θεὸς, ἕως τοῦ νῦν, καὶ οὐ μὴ γένηται.
For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20 Καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολόβωσεν ˚Κύριος τὰς ἡμέρας, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ. Ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς, οὓς ἐξελέξατο, ἐκολόβωσεν τὰς ἡμέρας.
Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
21 Καὶ τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, ‘Ἴδε, ὧδε ὁ ˚Χριστός’, ἢ ‘Ἴδε, ἐκεῖ’, μὴ πιστεύετε.
Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ.' or, 'Look, there.' do not believe it.
22 Ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ δώσουσιν σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα, πρὸς τὸ ἀποπλανᾶν εἰ δυνατὸν τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς.
For there will arise false messiahs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones.
23 Ὑμεῖς δὲ βλέπετε· ἰδοὺ, προείρηκα ὑμῖν πάντα.
But you watch. "I have told you all things beforehand.
24 Ἀλλὰ ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις, μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν ἐκείνην, ‘ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται, καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς’,
But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 ‘καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες ἔσονται ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πίπτοντες’, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αἱ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς σαλευθήσονται.
the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 Καὶ τότε ὄψονται ‘τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλαις’, μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς καὶ δόξης.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 Καὶ τότε ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους καὶ ἐπισυνάξει τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων, ἀπʼ ἄκρου γῆς ἕως ἄκρου οὐρανοῦ.
Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of the sky.
28 Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς, μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν: ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται, καὶ ἐκφύῃ τὰ φύλλα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν.
"Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
29 Οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
30 Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη, μέχρις οὗ ταῦτα πάντα γένηται.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31 Ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρελεύσονται.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
32 Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ἢ τῆς ὥρας, οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι ἐν οὐρανῷ, οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατήρ.
But of that day or the hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Βλέπετε, ἀγρυπνεῖτε, καὶ προσεύχεσθε, οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν.
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
34 Ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀπόδημος, ἀφεὶς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ δοὺς τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐξουσίαν, ἑκάστῳ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ θυρωρῷ ἐνετείλατο ἵνα γρηγορῇ.
"It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35 Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ, πότε ὁ κύριος τῆς οἰκίας ἔρχεται, ἢ ὀψὲ, ἢ μεσονύκτιον, ἢ ἀλεκτοροφωνίας, ἢ πρωΐ,
Watch therefore, for you do not know when the lord of the house is coming —at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
36 μὴ ἐλθὼν ἐξαίφνης, εὕρῃ ὑμᾶς καθεύδοντας.
lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
37 Ὃ δὲ ὑμῖν λέγω, πᾶσιν λέγω, γρηγορεῖτε!”
What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
