King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea vakai atu ʻe ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he lī ʻe he kakai koloaʻia ʻenau meʻa foaki ki he tukuʻanga koloa.
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting 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 thither two 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, Of a truth I say unto 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 in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury 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,
5¶ And as some spake of the temple, how 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.”
6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, 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, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall 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.
8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and the time draweth near: 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.”
9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga;
10Then said he unto 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 great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
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, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you , delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
13Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14Ko ia ke fakapapau homou loto, ke ʻoua naʻa tomuʻa fakakaukau ʻaia te mou tali ʻaki:
14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye 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 gainsay nor resist.
16Ka ʻe lavakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e tokoua, mo e kāinga, mo e kaumeʻa; pea te nau tāmateʻi homou niʻihi.
16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
17And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
18Ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻi homou ʻulu.
18But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19Mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou faʻa kātaki ʻa homou laumālie.
19In your patience possess ye 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 ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
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 them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22He ko e ‘ngaahi ʻaho eni ʻoe totongi,’ koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
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 unto them that are with child, and to them that 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 captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles 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:
25¶ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
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’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
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 shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28Pea ʻi he kamata hoko mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mou sio hake, pea hanga hake homou ʻulu; he ʻoku ofi mai homou huhuʻi.”
28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
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 spake to them a parable; Behold 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, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
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 likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all 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.
34¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
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 on all them that dwell on 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, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, 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 day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
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, for to hear him.
