Marka 13
1 Ie niavotse i Anjomban’ Añaharey, le hoe ty mpiama’e raike: O Rañandria, anh’a anh’a! hehek’ o vato jabajabao, o anjomba fanjàkao!
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Isa’o hao o anjomba fanjàka roañeo? Leo vato’e raike tsy hapoke ambone’ ty ila’e ze tsy hafetsake ambane.
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 Ie niambesatse am-bohi-Oliva, tandrife i Anjomban’ Añaharey, le natola’ i Petera naho Iakobe naho i Jaona naho i Andrea vaho nañontanea’ iareo ty hoe:
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 Atalilio: ombia te ho tondroke o raha zao? Inoñe ty ho viloñe t’ie ho heneke?
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 Le namototse nitalily am’iareo ty hoe t’Iesoà: Mitaoa tsy ho verevereñe;
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 maro ty hiboak’ ami’ty añarako hanao ty hoe, Izaho ro ie, hampandifike ty maro.
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 Le ie janji’ areo amo ali-taneo naho o talilin’ alio, ko mahimahiñe, amy t’ie tsy mete tsy ho avy, fe mbe tsy ie i figadoñañey.
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 Hiongake hifañatreatre ami’ty fifelehañe ty fifelehañe, naho ami’ty fifeheañe ty fifeheañe, naho hiezeñezeñe ty tane ila’e añe, vaho ho paohe’ ty hasalikoañe; ty fifotoram-pitsongoan’ ampela avao irezay.
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 Aa le mitaoa, fa hasese’ iereo am-pivory ao, naho ho fofoheñe am-pitontonañ’ ao, vaho hajohañe añatrefam-pandily naho mpanjaka eo ty amako ho fitaliliañe ama’e.
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 Fa tsy mete tsy taroñeñe amy ze kilakila ondaty hey i talili-soay.
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
11 Aa ie tantalieñe naho seseheñe, ko mimenomenoñe amy ze ho saontsie’ areo, le ko mañereñere aolo; fe saontsio ze hatolotse amy ora zay, amy te tsy inahareo ty hisaontsy, fa i Arofo Masiñey.
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 Hasesen-drahalahy ty rahalahi’e havetrake, le ty rae i ana’e, naho hiongake aman-droae’e o ana’eo hañoho-doza ama’e.
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 Kila halaiñe anahareo ty ami’ty añarako, fe ho rombaheñe ty mahafeake pak’ am-para’e.
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
14 Aa naho vazoho’ areo mijagarodoñe amy tsy mete ijohañañey ty Hativà’ o Fandrotsahañeo, (ehe te mahaoniñe ty mpamaky); le miherereaha an-day mb’ am-bohitse mb’eo ze hene e Iehodà ao;
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 Asoao tsy hizotso ty ambone’ anjomba eo himoake añ’akiba ao hañakatse raha.
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 Asoao tsy hibalike handrambe ty sarimbo’e ze an-teteke añe.
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 Feh’ ohatse ho amo mivesatse naho mampinono amy andro rezaio!
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
18 Le mihalalia te tsy ho ami’ty asotry ty hifetsaha’e.
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
19 Fa ho sam-poheke mboe tsy nizoeñe an-tane atoy sikal’ ami’ty fifotora’ ty voatse namboaren’ Añahare toy pake henane vaho tsy ho ama’e ka—i andro rezay.
20 Aa naho tsy nampitomots’ andro t’i Talè, le tsy ho nitendreke nofotse ho rombaheñe; fe o noro’e jinobo’eo ro nañatomora’e i andro rey.
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 Ie amy zao, naho eo ty hanao ama’ areo ty hoe: Hehe, ingo i Norizañey; naho, Hehe, inge! Ko miantoke,
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
22 amy te hiongake o norizam-bìlañeo, naho o mpitoky sare’eo, hampiboake viloñe vaho halatsàñe handrantoa’e o jinoboñeo naho ho nimete.
23 Aa le itaò: Ingo fa hene nataliliko ama’areo aolo.
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Ie amy andro rezay, naho fa añe i san-kaemberañey, le hampaieñeñe i àndroy, naho tsy hañomey ty hazavà’e i volañey,
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 naho hirarake o vasian-dikerañeo, vaho ho ozoñozòñeñe o haozarañe andindìñeo.
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 Vaho ho isa’ iereo mitotsake amo rahoñeo ey an-kaozarañe naho engeñe ra’elahy i Ana’ Ondatiy.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 Le hahitri’e mb’eo o anjeli’eo, hanontoñe o jinobo’eo boak’ami’ty fihirifa’ o tiok’ efatseo, sikala añ’ olo’ ty tane toy añe pak’ añ’ indran-dikerañe añe.
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 Rendreho ty razañe’ o sakoañeo: Ie fa maleme ty lengo’e, naho mibotiboty o rave’eo, le fohi’ areo te miha-asara ty taoñe.
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 Hoe izay ka nahareo, ie maharendreke ty fifetsaha’ irezay; fohino te mitotoke, vaho fa an-dalam-bey eo.
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 Eka! to t’itaroñako te tsy himosaoñe añe ty fifokoañe toy naho tsy tendreke hey irezay.
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 Hisaok’ añe i likerañey naho ty tane toy, fa tsy hihelañe ka o volakoo.
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 Aa ty amy àndroy naho i ora zay, tsy ia ty mahafohiñe ndra o anjely andindìñeo ndra i Anakey, fa t’i Rae avao.
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 Mitaoa, mijilova; amy te tsy fohi’ areo ty hitondroha’ i àndroy.
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
34 Razañeñe amy t’indaty nañavelo añe; ie nienga ty anjomba’e, naho tinolo’e lily o mpitoro’eo, naho songa nizarae’e fitoloñañe, vaho namantok’ amy mpigarin-dalambeiy te hijilojilo.
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
35 Aa le mitaòa, amy te tsy fohi’ areo ty hibaliha’ i talèn’ anjombay, ke hariva, he antets’ale, kera amy kekeon-akohoy, hera maraindray;
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
36 tsy mone hitojeha re hanjò anahareo mirotse.
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 O itaroñakoo ro taroñeko amy ze hene ondaty: Mitaoa!
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
