Marcos 13
1 Habang si Jesus ay naglalakad papalayo mula sa templo, sinabi sa kaniya ng isa sa kaniyang mga alagad, “Guro, tingnan mo ang kamangha-manghang mga bato at mga gusali!”
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 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Nakikita ba ninyo ang naglalakihang mga gusali na ito? Walang isa mang bato ang matitira sa ibabaw ng kapwa bato, ang lahat ay maguguho.”
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 Nang umupo siya sa Bundok ng mga Olibo sa tapat ng templo, tinanong siya nang sarilinan nina Pedro, Santiago, Juan at Andres,
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 “Sabihin mo sa amin, kailan mangyayari ang mga ito? Ano ang magiging palatandaan na ang lahat na ito ay malapit nang mangyari?”
“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 Nagsimulang magsalita si Jesus sa kanila, “Mag- ingat kayo na walang sinuman ang magligaw sa inyo.
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 Marami ang darating sa aking pangalan at magsasabi, 'Ako siya,' at ililigaw nila ang karamihan.
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 Kapag nakarinig kayo ng mga digmaan, at mga balita ng digmaan, huwag kayong mag-alala; dapat mangyari ang mga bagay na ito, ngunit hindi pa ito ang wakas.
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 Sapagkat makikipaglaban ang isang bansa sa kapwa niya bansa, at ang kaharian laban sa kapwa kaharian. Magkakaroon ng mga lindol sa maraming lugar at mga tag-gutom. Ito ang mga pasimula ng paghihirap na tulad ng isang babaing manganganak.
[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 Maging mapagbantay kayo. Dadalhin nila kayo sa mga konseho, at kayo ay bubugbugin sa mga sinagoga. Haharap kayo sa mga hari at mga gobernador alang-alang sa akin, bilang isang patotoo sa kanila.
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 Ngunit ang ebanghelyo ay dapat munang maihayag sa lahat ng mga bansa.
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 Kapag hinuli nila kayo at ipasakamay sa iba, huwag kayong mag-alala kung ano ang inyong dapat sabihin. Dahil sa oras na iyon, ibibigay sa inyo kung ano ang dapat ninyong sabihin; hindi kayo ang magsasalita, kundi ang Banal na Espiritu.
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 Ipasakamay ng isang kapatid ang kaniyang kapatid sa kamatayan, at ang isang ama naman ang kaniyang anak. Ang mga anak ay lalaban sa kanilang mga magulang at ipapapatay nila sila.
[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 Kayo ay kamumuhian ng lahat dahil sa aking pangalan. Ngunit sinuman ang makatitiis hanggang sa wakas, ang taong iyon ay maliligtas.
[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 Kapag nakita ninyo ang kasuklam-suklam na lagim na nakatayo kung saan ito hindi dapat nakatayo (intindihin ng bumabasa), tumakas papunta sa mga bundok ang mga nasa Judea,
[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 ang mga nasa bubungan ay huwag ng bumaba pa sa loob ng bahay, o magdala ng ano pa man mula doon,
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 at ang mga nasa bukirin ay huwag ng umuwi upang kunin ang kanilang balabal.
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 Ngunit aba silang mga nagdadalang-tao at nagpapasuso ng mga sanggol sa mga panahong iyon!
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 Ipanalangin ninyong huwag itong mangyari sa panahon ng tag-lamig.
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 Sapagkat magkakaroon ng matinding kahirapan na wala pang kagaya mula nang simula, nang likhain ng Diyos ang daigdig hanggang sa ngayon at wala nang mangyayari pa na katulad nito.
20 Maliban na lang kung paiksiin ng Panginoon ang mga araw, walang sinuman ang maliligtas. Ngunit alang-alang sa mga hinirang na mga pinili niya, paiiksiin niya ang bilang ng mga araw.
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 At kung may nagsabi sa inyong, 'Tingnan ninyo, nandito ang Cristo!' o 'Tingnan ninyo, nandito siya' huwag ninyo itong paniwalaan.
[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 Sapagkat lilitaw ang mga bulaang Cristo at bulaang mga propeta at magbibigay ng mga himala at kababalaghan upang linlangin, kung maaari, maging ang mga hinirang.
23 Maging mapagbantay kayo! Ngayon pa lang ay sinabi ko na ang mga bagay na ito sa inyo.
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Ngunit pagkatapos ng matinding kahirapan sa mga araw na iyon, ang araw ay didilim at ang buwan ay hindi na magliliwanag,
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 ang mga bituwin ay mahuhulog mula sa langit at ang kapangyarihan na nasa kalangitan ay mayayanig.
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 Pagkatapos, makikita nila ang Anak ng Tao na dumarating mula sa mga ulap taglay ang dakila nitong kapangyarihan at kaluwalhatian.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 Pagkatapos ipapadala niya ang kaniyang mga anghel upang tipunin ang kaniyang mga hinirang mula sa apat na sulok ng mundo, mula sa mga dulo ng lupa hanggang sa dulo ng langit.
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 Matuto kayo ng aral mula sa puno ng igos. Sa oras na maging malambot ang sanga nito at magsimulang sumibol ang mga dahon, alam ninyong malapit nang dumating ang tag-araw.
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 Gayon din, kapag nakita ninyong nangyayari ang mga bagay na ito, alam ninyong malapit na siyang darating, malapit sa mga tarangkahan.
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 Totoo ang sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi lilipas ang salinlahing ito hanggang hindi nangyayari ang lahat ng mga ito.
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 Lilipas ang langit at ang lupa, ngunit ang aking salita ay hinding-hindi lilipas.
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 Ngunit patungkol sa araw o sa oras na iyon, walang sinuman ang nakakaalam, maging ang mga anghel sa langit o maging ang Anak, tanging ang Ama lamang.
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 Maging handa kayo! Magbantay kayo, sapagkat hindi ninyo alam kung sa anong oras ito.
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 Katulad ito ng isang lalaking naglakbay: umalis siya sa bahay niya at ipinagkatiwala sa kaniyang mga lingkod ang pamamahala sa kaniyang bahay, ang bawat isa ay may kani-kaniyang gawain. At inutusan niya ang tagapagbantay na manatiling gising.
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 Kaya magbantay kayo! Sapagkat hindi ninyo alam kung kailan uuwi ang amo ng tahanan, maaaring sa gabi, sa hating gabi, kapag tumilaok ang tandang, o sa umaga.
[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 Kung bigla siyang dumating, huwag ninyong hayaan na madatnan niya kayong natutulog.
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 Kung ano ang sinasabi ko sa inyo ay sinasabi ko sa lahat: Magbantay kayo!”
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].
