1Pea vakai atu ʻe ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he lī ʻe he kakai koloaʻia ʻenau meʻa foaki ki he tukuʻanga koloa.
1And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.
2Pea mamata foki ʻe ia ki he fefine masiva, kuo mate hono husepāniti, ʻoku ne lī ki ai ʻae kihiʻi paʻanga ʻe ua.
2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.
3Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ko e fefine ni kuo mate hono husepāniti mo paea, kuo ne lī ki ai ʻo lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē:
3And he said: Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4He kuo lī ʻekinautolu ni kotoa pē ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he ʻOtua, mei heʻenau koloa lahi: ka kuo lī ʻe ia ki ai, mei heʻene masiva, ʻa ʻene moʻui kotoa pē.”
4For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want, hath cast in all the living that she had.
5¶ Pea ʻi he lea ʻae niʻihi ki he falelotu lahi, ki hono teungaʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka lelei mo e ngaahi meʻa foaki, ne pehē ʻe ia,
5And some saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:
6“Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai ni, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻikai mahili ai ha maka ki ha maka, ka ʻe laku kotoa pē ki lalo.”
6These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
7Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻe hoko afe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoka hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
7And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?
8Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku hingoa ʻonau pehē, ‘Ko au ia;’ pea ‘ʻOku ofi mai ʻae ʻaho:’ ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou muimui kiate kinautolu.
8Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them.
9Ka ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ngaahi maveuveu, ʻoua naʻa mou ilifia: koeʻuhi ʻe tomuʻa hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; ka ʻe ʻikai vave ʻae ngataʻanga.”
9And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
10Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga;
10Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11Pea ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi mofuike lahi ʻi he potu kehekehe, mo e honge, mo e ngaahi mahaki lahi; pea ʻe hā mai mei he langi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga lahi.
11And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
12Kae teʻeki ai ke hoko eni, te nau pukea ʻakimoutolu, mo fakatangaʻi, mo tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi falelotu, mo e ngaahi fale fakapōpula, ʻonau ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi mo e pule, koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
12But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.
13Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
14Ko ia ke fakapapau homou loto, ke ʻoua naʻa tomuʻa fakakaukau ʻaia te mou tali ʻaki:
14Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
15He te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngutu mo e poto, ʻe ʻikai faʻa tali pe taʻofia ʻe homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
16Ka ʻe lavakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e tokoua, mo e kāinga, mo e kaumeʻa; pea te nau tāmateʻi homou niʻihi.
16And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.
17Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
17And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18Ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻi homou ʻulu.
18But a hair of your head shall not perish.
19Mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou faʻa kātaki ʻa homou laumālie.
19In your patience you shall possess your souls.
20“Pea ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he kāpui ʻo Selūsalema ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matatau, mou toki ʻilo kuo ofi hono fakaʻauha.
20And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
21Pea tuku ke toki feholaki ai ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi Siutea; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi kolo ke nau ʻalu atu; pea ʻoua naʻa hū ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he tukuʻuta.
21Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the mountains; and those who are in the midst thereof, depart out: and those who are in the countries, not enter into it.
22He ko e ‘ngaahi ʻaho eni ʻoe totongi,’ koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi.
22For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
23Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe feitama, mo kinautolu ʻe toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia! Koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae mamahi lahi ki he fonua, mo e houhau ki he kakai ni.
23But woe to them that are with child, and give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24Pea ʻe tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he mata ʻoe heletā, pea ʻe taki pōpula ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē: pea ʻe malaki hifo ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he kakai Senitaile, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae kuonga ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captives into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles; till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
25¶ “Pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he laʻā, mo e māhina, mo e ngaahi fetuʻu; pea ʻe ʻi he māmani ʻae mamahi ʻoe ngaahi kakai, mo e puputuʻu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻuʻulu ʻae tahi mo e ngaahi peau:
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;
26Ka ʻe mole ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ʻi he manavahē, mo tuʻotuʻatamaki ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ki māmani: koeʻuhi ʻe ngalulululu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi.
26Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;
27Pea te nau toki mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, mo e mālohi mo e nāunau lahi.
27And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28Pea ʻi he kamata hoko mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mou sio hake, pea hanga hake homou ʻulu; he ʻoku ofi mai homou huhuʻi.”
28But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
29Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “Vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē;
29And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:
30ʻOka tupu hono muka, ʻoku mou mamata, pea mou ʻilo ai ʻoku ofi mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana.
30When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
31Pea ʻe pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he hoko ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi mai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
31So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
32“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
32Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.
33ʻE mole ʻae langi mo māmani; ka ʻe ʻikai mole ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea.
33Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
34¶ “Kae vakai kiate kimoutolu, telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo taʻomia homou loto ʻi he kai fekinaki, mo e kona, mo e tokanga ki he moʻui ni, pea hoko fakafokifā ai ʻae ʻaho ko ia kiate kimoutolu.
34And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
35Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko e hele kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani fulipē.
35For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
36Ko ia mou leʻo, pea lotu maʻuaipē, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻaonga ke hao mei he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻe hoko, pea ke tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata.”
36Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.
37Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻi he falelotu lahi; pea ʻi he pō, naʻa ne ʻalu kituaʻā ʻo nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive.
37And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple; but at night, going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.
38Pea naʻe haʻu hengihengi ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
