1 A s He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

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!

2 A nd Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down.”

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.

3 A s He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

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,

4 “ Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?”

Korerotia mai ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea, a he aha te tohu ina tata enei mea katoa te rite?

5 A nd Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.

Na ka anga ia, ka korero ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata:

6 M any will come in My name, saying, ‘ I am He!’ and will mislead many.

He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia; a he tokomaha e mamingatia.

7 W hen you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

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.

8 F or nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

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.

9 “ But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

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.

10 T he gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia matua kauwhautia te rongopai ki nga tauiwi katoa.

11 W hen they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

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.

12 B rother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

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.

13 Y ou will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

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.

14 “ But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

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:

15 T he one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;

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:

16 a nd the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

Kaua ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tona kakahu.

17 B ut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

Aue te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!

18 B ut pray that it may not happen in the winter.

Ma koutou ia e inoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke.

19 F or those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

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.

20 U nless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

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.

21 A nd then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him;

Ki te mea tetahi ki a koutou i reira, Na, tenei a te Karaiti; Na, tera: kaua e whakaponohia:

22 f or false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

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.

23 B ut take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance. The Return of Christ

Kia tupato ra koutou: na, kua korerotia wawetia nei e ahau nga mea katoa ki a koutou.

24 “ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,

Na, i aua ra, i muri iho i taua whakapawera, ka whakapouritia te ra, e kore hoki e titi te atarau.

25 a nd the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

Ka taka iho nga whetu o te rangi, ka ngaueue nga mea kaha o nga rangi.

26 T hen they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

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.

27 A nd then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

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.

28 “ Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

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:

29 E ven so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e pauta mai ana, ka matau ka tata ia, kei nga kuwaha.

30 T ruly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tenei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.

31 H eaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo: ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.

32 B ut of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

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.

33 “ Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.

Kia tupato, kia mataara, me te inoi ano: kahore hoki koutou e matau ki te wa, ko a hea ranei.

34 I t is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

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.

35 T herefore, be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—

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:

36 i n case he should come suddenly and find you asleep.

Kei puta whakarere mai, ka rokohanga koutou e ia e moe ana.

37 W hat I say to you I say to all, ‘ Be on the alert!’”

Na, ko taku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana ano ki te katoa, Kia mataara.
