Maka 13
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!
As Jesus was walking out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and buildings these are!"
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.
"You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.
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,
When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter and Jamesand Johnand Andrew asked him privately,
4 Korerotia mai ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea, a he aha te tohu ina tata enei mea katoa te rite?
"Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign that all these predictions are about to be fulfilled."
5 Na ka anga ia, ka korero ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata:
So Jesus began to tell them.
6 He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia; a he tokomaha e mamingatia.
"Be ye watchful lest any one mislead you. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will mislead many.
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.
But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars do not be dismayed, such things must come, but the end is not yet.
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.
For nation shall rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines; these are the beginning of birth-pangs.
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.
"You yourselves must be on your guard. They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged on the synagogues; and you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, to witness to them for me.
10 Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia matua kauwhautia te rongopai ki nga tauiwi katoa.
But the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
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.
When, however, they are leading you all to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but whatever is given you in that hour, that say, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
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.
"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.
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.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
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:
"But when you see the Abomination of Desolation ‘standing where he ought not’ (let the reader ponder this), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;
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:
let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house;
16 Kaua ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tona kakahu.
and he who is in the field, let him not turn back to get his cloak.
17 Aue te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!
And alas for the pregnant women, and for those that are nursing their infants in those days!
18 Ma koutou ia e inoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke.
Pray that it may not come in the winter.
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.
For those will be days of suffering the like of which has never been from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never shall be.
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.
And had not the Lord cut short those days, not a single person would escape; but for the elect’s sake whom he has chosen, he has cut them short.
21 Ki te mea tetahi ki a koutou i reira, Na, tenei a te Karaiti; Na, tera: kaua e whakaponohia:
"At that time if any one tell you, ‘See, here is Christ,’ or ‘See, there he is,’ do not believe it;
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.
for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, to lead astray the very chosen, if they can.
23 Kia tupato ra koutou: na, kua korerotia wawetia nei e ahau nga mea katoa ki a koutou.
Be on your guard! I have told you it all beforehand.
24 Na, i aua ra, i muri iho i taua whakapawera, ka whakapouritia te ra, e kore hoki e titi te atarau.
"But when the tribulation is past, in those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light,
25 Ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ka ngaueue nga mea kaha o nga rangi.
and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
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.
Then will they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory.
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.
Then he will send forth the angels and gather his chosen from the four winds, from uttermost earth to uttermost sky.
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:
"From the fig tree learn now her parable; as soon as ever her branches are full of sap and bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
29 Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e pauta mai ana, ka matau ka tata ia, kei nga kuwaha.
So also do you, whenever you see these things happening, know that He is near, at your very door.
30 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tenei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.
I tell you truly that the present generation shall not pass until all these things begin to happen.
31 Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo: ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
Earth and sky shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
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.
But concerning that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven,
33 Kia tupato, kia mataara, me te inoi ano: kahore hoki koutou e matau ki te wa, ko a hea ranei.
nor the Son, but only the Father.
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.
Take heed! Awake! for you never know the time. As a man gone abroad and leaving his house gives authority to his slaves, to each his task;
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:
and orders the porter to keep watch; keep watch then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming - in the evening, at midnight, at cockcrow, or in the morning -
36 Kei puta whakarere mai, ka rokohanga koutou e ia e moe ana.
lest he should come unexpectedly and find you sleeping;
37 Na, ko taku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana ano ki te katoa, Kia mataara.
and what I say to you, I say to all. Be awake and on guard."
