Berean Standard Bible
1Pea hū atu ʻa Sisu mei he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga ke fakahā kiate ia hono ngaahi potu ʻoe falelotu lahi.
1As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
2Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē? ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ʻi heni ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka, ʻe taʻelaku ki lalo.”
2“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3¶ Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, naʻe haʻu fakafufū ʻae kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Fakahā kiate kimautolu, ʻe hoko ʻafe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻo hoʻo haʻu, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo māmani?”
3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”
4Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tangata.
4Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ko e Kalaisi;’ pea ʻe kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi:
5For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6Pea te mou fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ongoongo ʻoe tau: kaeʻoua naʻa mou manavahē: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko eni kotoa pē, kae teʻeki hoko ʻae ngataʻanga.
6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga: pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi honge, mo e mahaki lahi, mo e mofuike, ʻi he potu kehekehe.
7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ko e kamataʻanga pe ʻoe ngaahi mamahi.
8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Pea te nau toki tukuange ʻakimoutolu ke tautea, mo tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
9Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10Pea ʻe toki hinga ai ʻae tokolahi, ʻo felavakiʻiʻaki ʻakinautolu, mo fetāufehiʻaʻaki.
10At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
11Pea tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita loi ʻe tupu ai, ʻonau kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi.
11and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
12Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻaupito ʻoe angahala, ʻe momoko ai ʻae ʻofa ʻae tokolahi.
12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13Ka ko ia ʻe faʻa kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ko ia ia ʻe moʻui.
13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14Pea ko e ongoongolelei ni ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe malangaʻaki ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki hoko mai ʻae ikuʻanga.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15“Ko ia ʻoka mou ka mamata ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu tapu, ʻae meʻa ‘fakalielia ʻoe fakaʻauha,’ naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko Taniela,” (pea ko ia ʻoku ne lau ia, ke tokanga ia ki ai :)
15So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
16“Pea ke toki feholaki ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Siutea:
16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tuʻa fale, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ia, ke toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha mei hono fale:
17Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua naʻa liu mai ia, ke toʻo hono ngaahi kofu.
18And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
19Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama, mo kinautolu ʻoku toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia!
19How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
20Ka mou kole ke ʻoua naʻa hoko hoʻomou feholaki ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko, pe ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate:
20Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21Ka koeʻuhi ʻe toki hoko ʻae mamahi lahi, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻo lauikuonga.
21For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
22Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai fakasiʻisiʻi ki he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ʻikai moʻui ha tokotaha: ka koeʻuhi ko e kakai kuo fili ʻe fakasiʻisiʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
22If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23“Pea kapau ʻe toki pehē ai ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻa Kalaisi,’ pe ‘ʻi hena;’ ʻoua naʻa tui ki ai .
23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
24Koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi Kalaisi loi, mo e kau palōfita loi, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga lahi, mo e meʻa fakaofo: ke nau kākā ʻaki ʻae kakai kuo fili, ʻoka ne faingofua.
24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
25Vakai, kuo u tomuʻa tala ia kiate kimoutolu.
25See, I have told you in advance.
26“Ko ia kapau te nau pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he toafa ia;’ ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu: ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo:’ ʻoua naʻa tui ki ai .
26So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27He ʻoku hangē ko e ʻasi mai ʻoe ʻuhila mei he potu hahake, pea ulo ʻo aʻu ki he potu lulunga; ʻe pehē foki ʻae haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28“He ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻangaʻanga, ʻe kātoa ki ai ʻae fanga ʻikale foki.
28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29¶ “Pea hili ʻae mamahi ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻe fakapoʻuli leva ʻae laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai ulo mai ʻae māhina, pea ʻe ngangana ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu mei he langi, pea ʻe ngalulu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi:
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
30Pea ʻe toki hā mai ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he langi: pea ʻe toki tangi ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, pea te nau mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi, ʻi he mālohi mo e nāunau lahi.
30At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31Pea ʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngelo mo e meʻa lea leʻo lahi, pea te nau tānaki fakataha ʻene kakai kuo fili mei hono feituʻu langi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe langi ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha.
31And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32“Pea mou tokanga ki he fakatātā ʻoe ʻakau ko e fiki: ʻOka kei litolito hono vaʻa, pea tupu hono lau, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana:
32Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
33Pea pehē foki, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ia, ʻio, ʻoku ʻi he matapā.
33So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
34ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ʻosi ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni ʻa eni kotoa pē.
34Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
35ʻE mole ʻae langi mo māmani, kae ʻikai mole ʻeku lea.
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36¶ “Ka ko e ʻaho mo e feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ki ai ha taha, pe ʻilo ʻe he kau ʻāngelo ʻoe langi, ka ko ʻeku Tamai pe.
36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37Kae hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, ʻe pehē pe foki ʻae haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38He koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi he lōmaki naʻa nau kai mo inu, mo mali, mo foaki ke fakamaʻu, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe hū ai ʻa Noa ki he vaka,
38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
39Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻamanaki, mo ʻene hoko mai ʻae vai lahi, ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu kotoa pē; ʻe pehē pe ʻae haʻu foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40ʻE ʻi he ngoue ʻae toko ua; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41ʻE ai ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku ngāue ʻi he meʻa momosi; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42¶ “Ko ia leʻo: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ko ia ʻe haʻu ai homou ʻEiki.
42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
43Kae ʻilo eni, ka ne ʻilo ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻae lakanga leʻo ko ia ʻe haʻu ai ʻae kaihaʻa, pehē , kuo ne leʻo, kae ʻikai tuku ke haea hono fale.
43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44Ko ia ke tali teu pe ʻakimoutolu foki: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻamanaki ki ai.
44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45“Pea ko hai ʻae tamaioʻeiki angatonu mo poto, kuo fakanofo ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ke pule ki hono kaungāʻapi, mo tufaki kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻakai ʻi hono taimi totonu?
45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
46ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ʻilo ia ʻoku ne fai pehē.
46Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, te ne fakanofo ia ke ne puleʻi ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48Pea kapau ʻe pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki angakovi ʻi hono loto, ‘ʻOku fakatuai ne haʻu ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki;’
48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
49pea ne kamata teʻia ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki, pea kai ia mo inu fakataha mo e kau konā;
49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50ʻE haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻi ha ʻaho ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻamanekina, pea ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo,
50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
51Pea ʻe tuʻuua ia, ʻo tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻinasi fakataha ia mo e kau mālualoi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
