1Pea vakai atu ʻe ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he lī ʻe he kakai koloaʻia ʻenau meʻa foaki ki he tukuʻanga koloa.
1He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting 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.
2He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
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:
3He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
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 put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
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,
5As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful 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.”
6“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will 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?”
7They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
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.
8He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he ,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow 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.”
9When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
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 will 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.
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs 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 things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13It will turn out as a testimony for you.
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 beforehand how to 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 will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16Ka ʻe lavakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e tokoua, mo e kāinga, mo e kaumeʻa; pea te nau tāmateʻi homou niʻihi.
16You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
17You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18Ka ʻe ʻikai mole ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻi homou ʻulu.
18And not a hair of your head will perish.
19Mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou faʻa kātaki ʻa homou laumālie.
19“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20“Pea ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he kāpui ʻo Selūsalema ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matatau, mou toki ʻilo kuo ofi hono fakaʻauha.
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation 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. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22He ko e ‘ngaahi ʻaho eni ʻoe totongi,’ koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi.
22For these are 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.
23Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to 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.
24They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are 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“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and 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 fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will 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.
27Then they will 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.”
28But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “Vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē;
29He told them a parable. “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 are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
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.
31Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni kotoa pē.
32Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33ʻE mole ʻae langi mo māmani; ka ʻe ʻikai mole ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means 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“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on 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 it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the 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.”
36Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, 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.
37Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38Pea naʻe haʻu hengihengi ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
38All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
