Mareko 13
1 Mme ya re a tswa mo Tempeleng ka letsatsi leo, mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Moruti, dikago tse di dintle jang! Bona mekgabisa ya maje a a mo lokotswaneng jaaka e ntse.”
AND as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures!
2 Jesu a araba a re, “Ee, bona! gonne ga go na leje lepe le le tlaa tlogelwang le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe, otlhe a tlaa fetoga matlotla.”
And Jesus answering said to him, Beholdest thou these magnificent structures? there shall not be left one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down.
3 Mme ya re a ntse mo dithoteng tsa thaba ya Lotlhware go kgabaganya molatswana o o tswang Jerusalema, Petere le Jakobe le Anterea le Johane ba bo ba na nae mme ba mmotsa ba re, “Dilo tse tsotlhe di tlaa diragalela Tempele leng? A go tlaa nna le tlhagiso pele ga nako?”
And as he was sitting on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass?
5 Hong Jesu a dirisa nako e ntsi ya go ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Lo se letle ope go lo timetsa,
Then Jesus answering them, began to say, Beware that no man deceive you:
6 gonne ba le bantsi ba tlaa tla ba ikaya fa e le Mesia wa lona, mme ba tlaa timetsa ba le bantsi.
for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many.
7 Mme go tlaa tsoga dintwa gongwe le gongwe mme mo ga se sesupo sa bokhutlo.
But when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things must be; but the end is not yet.
8 “Gonne dichaba le mebuso di tlaa tsogologelana, mme go tlaa nna dithoromo tsa lefatshe mo mafelong a le mantsi le mauba. Mme dilo tse e tlaa bo e le dikai tsa ntlha tsa dipogisego tse di tlang.
And nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 Mme fa dilo tse di simolola go diragala, lo tlhokomele! Gonne lo tlaa bo lo le mo diphatseng tse dikgolo. Lo tlaa gogelwa fa pele ga basekisi, mme lo tlaa itewa mo ditempeleng, lo tlaa ema fa pele ga balaodi le dikgosi ka ntlha ya go nna balatedi ba me. Se e tlaa bo e le nako ya lona ya go ba bolelela Mafoko a a Molemo.
But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to their sanhedrims, and to the synagogues; ye shall be beaten with rods, and be set before kings and governors for my name’s sake, for a testimony unto them.
10 Gonne Mafoko a a Molemo a tshwanetse go itsiwe mo merafeng yotlhe pele ga bokhutlo bo tla.
And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11 Mme fa lo tshwarwa lo bo lo sekisiwa, lo se ka lwa tshwenyega kaga se lo tlaa se buang go iphemela. Buang se Modimo o lo bolelelang gore lo se bue. Gonne e tlaa bo e se lona lo buang mme e le Mowa o o Boitshepo.
But when delivering you up, they shall bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say, neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour, what ye shall speak: for it is not you, who are speaking, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Mme morwa rraa motho o tlaa neela morwa rraagwe go bolawa, borrabana ba tlaa neela bana ba bone, le bana ba tlaa neela batsadi ba bone gore ba bolawe.
And brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
13 Mme lo tlaa ilwa ke mongwe le mongwe ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me. Mme botlhe ba ba tlaa itshokang go ya bokhutlong ba sa intatole ba tlaa bolokwa.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 “Mme fa lo bona selo se se makgapha se eme mo Tempeleng, mmadi, ela tlhoko! Tshaba, o tshabele kwa dithabeng tsa Judea fa go kgonega.
But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains:
15 Akofa! Fa o le mo setlhoeng fa godimo ga ntlo, o se ka wa boela mo tlung. Fa o le kwa masimo, o se ka wa boela kwa gae go ya go tsaya madi kgotsa diaparo.
and let not him who is on the roof go down into the house, nor enter into it, to carry away any thing out of the house:
and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment.
17 “A bo go latlhega basadi ba baimana mo malatsing ao, le basadi ba ba amusang.
But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days!
18 Mme lo rapele gore go sia ga lona go se ka ga nna go le mariga.
And pray that your flight be not in winter.
19 Gonne malatsi ao e tlaa bo e le metlha ya pitlagano e e iseng e ke e nne teng fa e sa le kwa tlholegong ya lefatshe, mme ga go kitla go nna gape jalo.
For these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more.
20 Kwa ntle ga gore Morena a khutshwafatse nako eo ya kutlobotlhoko, ga go na le fa e le mowa ope mo lefatsheng o o tlaa bolokesegang, mme ka ntlha ya ba o ba ikgethetseng o tlaa khutshwafatsa malatsi ao.
And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days.
21 “Mme fa mongwe a lo raya a re, ‘Yo ke Mesia’, kgotsa ‘ke yole’, lo se ka lwa mo ela tlhoko.
And then, if any man say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not.
22 Gonne go tlaa nna bo-Mesia ba le bantsi ba tsietso le baporofiti ba tsietso ba ba tlaa dirang dikgakgamatso tse dintsi tse di tlaa timetsang ba le bantsi, le e leng bone bana ba Modimo tota.
For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 Elang tlhoko! Ke lo tlhagisitse!
But be ye on your guard: lo! I have told you all things:
24 “Morago ga pitlagano eo, letsatsi le tlaa fifala mme ngwedi ga a kitla a phatsima.
but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light;
25 Dinaledi di tlaa wa, magodimo a tlaa reketlisiwa.
and the stars of the heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.
26 “Hong batho botlhe ba tlaa mpona, Nna Morwa Motho ke tla ke le mo marung ka nonofo e kgolo le kgalalelo.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with vast power and glory.
27 Mme ke tlaa romela baengele ba me go tla go phutha botlhe baitshenkedwi ba me go tswa mo tikologong yotlhe ya lefatshe le legodimo.
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound of heaven.
28 “Jaanong, thuto ke e ka setlhare sa mofeige. Fa dikala tsa one di simolola go kukunya le makakaba a simolola go tlhoga, lo itse sentle fela gore selemo se setse se gorogile.
Now learn from the fig-tree, a parable; When her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;
29 “Mme fa lo bona dilo tse di diragala tse ke setseng ke tswa go di tlhalosa, lo ka tlhomamisa gore go tla ga me go setse go le gaufi, le gore ke setse ke le mo kgorong.
so also you, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 “Ee, tse ke ditiragalo tse di kayang nako ya bokhutlo.
Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.
31 Legodimo le lefatshe di tlaa nyelela, mme Lefoko la me le emetse ruri.
Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall never pass away.
32 “Le fa go ntse jalo, ga go na ope, le fa e le baengele mo legodimong, le fa e le nna, ga ke itse letsatsi le fa e le nako e dilo tse di tlaa diragalang ka yone; fa e se Rara fela yo o itseng.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, nor the angels which are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Mme ere ka lo sa itse gore go tlaa diragala leng, nnang lo itisitse. Nnang ka kelotlhoko kaga go boa ga me.
Take ye heed, watch, and pray; for ye know not when the time is.
34 “Go tla ga me go ka tshwantshiwa ka monna yo o neng a tsamaya a ya kwa lefatsheng le sele, yo o neng a baya tiro yotlhe ya gagwe mo batlhankeng ba gagwe go e dira fa a sa ntse a seyo a tsamaile, mme a raya motlhokomedi wa kgoro a re, a lebelele go boa ga gagwe.
As a man going abroad, when he left his abode, and gave his servants authority, and to each his work, commanded also the porter to watch.
35 “Nnang lo lebeletse thata! Gonne ga lo itse gore a go tla ga me go tlaa bo go le maitseboa, bosigo, phakela kgotsa motshegare. Lo se ka lwa letla gore ke lo fitlhele lo robetse. Disang go bowa ga me! se ke molaetsa wa me mo go lona le mo go botlhe ba bangwe.”
Watch ye therefore; for ye know not at what time the master of the house cometh, at evening, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or in the morning:
lest coming suddenly he find you asleep.
Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
