< Maʻake 13 >
1 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei he falelotu lahi, naʻe pehē ʻene ākonga ʻe toko kiate ia, “ʻEiki, vakai ki hono anga ʻoe ngaahi maka mo e ngaahi fale!”
And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings!
2 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he ngaahi fale lahi ni? ʻE ʻikai ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka ʻe tuku, ka ʻe laku kotoa pē ki lalo.”
And Jesus responding said to him, Do you see these great buildings? stone may not be left upon stone, which may not be thrown down.
3 Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, ʻo hangatonu ki he falelotu lahi, naʻe fehuʻi fakafufū kiate ia ʻa Pita mo Semisi mo Sione mo ʻAnitelū, [ʻo pehē! ]
And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives in front of the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,
4 “Fakahā kiate kimautolu, ʻe hoko afe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoka fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?”
Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end?
5 Pea fua lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha.
And Jesus began to say to them, See, lest any one may deceive you.
6 Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku huafa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ia;’ pea te nau kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi.
For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. I
7 Pea ka mou ka fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ongoongo ʻoe tau, ʻoua te mou manavahē: koeʻuhi kuo pau ke hoko ia; kae teʻeki [hoko ]ʻae ikuʻanga.
And when you may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not disturbed: for it behooves it to be so; but the end is not yet.
8 Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga; pea ʻe ai ʻae mofuike ʻi he ngaahi potu kehekehe, pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi honge mo e ngaahi fakamamahi: ko e kamataʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi mamahi.
For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-quakes in divers places; and there shall be famines.
9 “Ka mou vakai kiate kimoutolu: he te nau tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he kau fakamaau; pea ʻe haha ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu; pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko au, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.
These are the beginnings of travails. But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them.
10 Ka ʻe tomuʻa malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
And it behooves the gospel first to be preached to all the nations.
11 Pea ka nau ka taki mo tukuange ʻakimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou tomuʻa fifili, pe fakakaukau ki he meʻa te mou lea ʻaki: ka ko ia ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ko ia pe te mou lea ʻaki: he ʻoku ʻikai ko kimoutolu ʻoku lea, ka ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
And when they may lead you forth, delivering you up, do not be solicitous what you may speak, nor meditate: but whatsoever may be given to you in that hour, speak this: for you are not those speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻa [hono ]tokoua ke mate, mo e tamai ʻae foha; pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ki he mātuʻa, mo pule ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and the children will rise up against the parents, and put them to death.
13 Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai fulipē koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa: ka ko ia ʻe kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ikuʻanga, ko ia ia ʻe moʻui.
And you shall be hated by all on account of my name: but the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved.
14 “Ka ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he ‘fakalielia ʻoe fakaʻauha,’ naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Taniela ko e palōfita, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu ʻoku ʻikai lelei [ke tuʻu ai],” (ko ia ʻoku lau ke tokanga, ) “Pea ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi Siutea, ke nau feholaki ki he ngaahi moʻunga:
And when you may see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let him that readeth know), then let those in Judea fly to the mountains:
15 Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tuʻa fale, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ki loto fale, pe hū [ki ai], ke toʻo ha meʻa mei hono fale:
and let not the one on the housetop come down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:
16 Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua naʻa foki ia ki mui ke toʻo mai hono kofu.
and let not the one who is in the field turn back to take his garment.
17 Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia!
But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days.
18 Pea mou lotu ke ʻoua naʻa hoko hoʻomou hola ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko.
But pray that your flight may not be in the winter.
19 He koeʻuhi ʻe ai ha mamahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai hano tatau talu hono kamataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo aʻu ki heni, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pehē.
For these days will be tribulation, such as has never been from the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never may be.
20 Pea ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻae fakasiʻisiʻi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe moʻui: ka koeʻuhi ko e kakai fili, ʻaia kuo fili ʻe ia, kuo ne fakasiʻisiʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho.
And unless the Lord shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
21 “Pea ka toki pehē ai ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ko eni ʻa Kalaisi;’ pe, ‘Vakai, [ʻoku ]ʻi hena[ia];’ ʻoua ʻe tui[ki ia]:
And if then one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, Lo, there; believe not.
22 He koeʻuhi ʻe tupu ʻae ngaahi Kalaisi loi mo e kau palōfita loi, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, ke kākā ʻaki ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻo ka ne faingofua.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders, to deceive even the elect, if possible.
23 Kae tokanga ʻakimoutolu: vakai, ku ou tomuʻa fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
But you see: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 “Ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, hili ʻae mamahi ko ia, ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku mai ʻe he māhina ʻa hono maama,
And in those days, after that desolation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,
25 Pea ʻe ngangana ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ʻe lulu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi.
and the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken.
26 Pea te nau toki mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, mo e mālohi lahi mo e nāunau.
And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 Pea ʻe toki fekau ʻe ia ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo, pea tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻene kakai fili mei he feituʻu langi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻae langi.
And then He will send forth His angels, and will gather His elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth unto the extremity of heaven.
28 “Ko eni, mou ʻilo ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki; ʻOka kei litolito hono vaʻa, pea tupu hono lau, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana:
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branches may be now tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh.
29 Ke pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki hono hoko ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ia, ʻio, ʻi he matapā.
So you also, when you may see these things take place, know that it is already at the doors.
30 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
Truly I say unto you, this race may not pass away, until all these things may be fulfilled.
31 ʻE mole ʻae langi mo e fonua: ka ko ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻe ʻikai mole.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 “Ka ko e ʻaho ko ia mo hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ne ʻilo ki ai, ʻe ʻikai, pe ko e kau ʻāngelo ʻoku ʻi he langi, pe ko e Foha, ka ko e Tamai.
But concerning that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.
33 Mou vakai, leʻo pea lotu: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe hoko ʻafē ʻae ʻaho ko ia.
Beware, watch; for you know not when the time is.
34 ʻOka fononga ha tangata, ʻoku ne tuku hono ʻapi ke tauhi ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ne vahe ʻae ngāue kiate kinautolu taki taha, pea fekau ki he tauhi matapā ke leʻo.
As a man, going away, leaving his own house, and giving authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and commanded the porter that he should watch.
35 Ko ia mou leʻo: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe haʻu fakakū ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻi he efiafi, pe ʻi he tuʻuapō, pe ʻi he ʻuʻua ʻae moa, pe ʻi he pongipongi;
Watch therefore: for you know not when the Lord of the house cometh, late, or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning;
36 Telia naʻa haʻu fakafokifā pe ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou mohe.
lest having come suddenly he may find you sleeping.
37 Pea ko ia ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ou tala ki he kakai kotoa pē, Leʻo.”
And the things I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
