1Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei he falelotu lahi, naʻe pehē ʻene ākonga ʻe toko kiate ia, “ʻEiki, vakai ki hono anga ʻoe ngaahi maka mo e ngaahi fale!”
1As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”
2Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he ngaahi fale lahi ni? ʻE ʻikai ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka ʻe tuku, ka ʻe laku kotoa pē ki lalo.”
2“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, ʻo hangatonu ki he falelotu lahi, naʻe fehuʻi fakafufū kiate ia ʻa Pita mo Semisi mo Sione mo ʻAnitelū, ʻo pehē!
3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
4“Fakahā kiate kimautolu, ʻe hoko afe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoka fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?”
4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”
5Pea fua lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha.
5Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
6Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku huafa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ia;’ pea te nau kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi.
6Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
7Pea ka mou ka fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ongoongo ʻoe tau, ʻoua te mou manavahē: koeʻuhi kuo pau ke hoko ia; kae teʻeki hoko ʻae ikuʻanga.
7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
8Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga; pea ʻe ai ʻae mofuike ʻi he ngaahi potu kehekehe, pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi honge mo e ngaahi fakamamahi: ko e kamataʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi mamahi.
8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Ka mou vakai kiate kimoutolu: he te nau tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he kau fakamaau; pea ʻe haha ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu; pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko au, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.
9So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.
10Ka ʻe tomuʻa malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
10And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
11Pea ka nau ka taki mo tukuange ʻakimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou tomuʻa fifili, pe fakakaukau ki he meʻa te mou lea ʻaki: ka ko ia ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ko ia pe te mou lea ʻaki: he ʻoku ʻikai ko kimoutolu ʻoku lea, ka ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
11But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12Pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻa hono tokoua ke mate, mo e tamai ʻae foha; pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ki he mātuʻa, mo pule ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
13Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai fulipē koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa: ka ko ia ʻe kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ikuʻanga, ko ia ia ʻe moʻui.
13You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14¶ “Ka ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he ‘fakalielia ʻoe fakaʻauha,’ naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Taniela ko e palōfita, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke tuʻu ai ,” (ko ia ʻoku lau ke tokanga,) “Pea ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi Siutea, ke nau feholaki ki he ngaahi moʻunga:
14So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
15Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tuʻa fale, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ki loto fale, pe hū ki ai , ke toʻo ha meʻa mei hono fale:
15Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.
16Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua naʻa foki ia ki mui ke toʻo mai hono kofu.
16And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
17Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia!
17How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
18Pea mou lotu ke ʻoua naʻa hoko hoʻomou hola ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko.
18Pray that this will not occur in the winter.
19He koeʻuhi ʻe ai ha mamahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai hano tatau talu hono kamataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo aʻu ki heni, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pehē.
19For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.
20Pea ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻae fakasiʻisiʻi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe moʻui: ka koeʻuhi ko e kakai fili, ʻaia kuo fili ʻe ia, kuo ne fakasiʻisiʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho.
20If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.
21“Pea ka toki pehē ai ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ko eni ʻa Kalaisi;’ pe, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi hena ia ;’ ʻoua ʻe tui ki ia :
21At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
22He koeʻuhi ʻe tupu ʻae ngaahi Kalaisi loi mo e kau palōfita loi, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, ke kākā ʻaki ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻo ka ne faingofua.
22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
23Kae tokanga ʻakimoutolu: vakai, ku ou tomuʻa fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
23So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
24¶ “Ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, hili ʻae mamahi ko ia, ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku mai ʻe he māhina ʻa hono maama,
24But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25Pea ʻe ngangana ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ʻe lulu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi.
25the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
26Pea te nau toki mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, mo e mālohi lahi mo e nāunau.
26At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27Pea ʻe toki fekau ʻe ia ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo, pea tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻene kakai fili mei he feituʻu langi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻae langi.
27And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
28“Ko eni, mou ʻilo ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki; ʻOka kei litolito hono vaʻa, pea tupu hono lau, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana:
28Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
29Ke pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki hono hoko ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ia, ʻio, ʻi he matapā.
29So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
30Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai mole ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
30Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
31ʻE mole ʻae langi mo e fonua: ka ko ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻe ʻikai mole.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32¶ “Ka ko e ʻaho ko ia mo hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ne ʻilo ki ai, ʻe ʻikai, pe ko e kau ʻāngelo ʻoku ʻi he langi, pe ko e Foha, ka ko e Tamai.
32No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33Mou vakai, leʻo pea lotu: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe hoko ʻafē ʻae ʻaho ko ia.
33Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.
34ʻOka fononga ha tangata, ʻoku ne tuku hono ʻapi ke tauhi ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ne vahe ʻae ngāue kiate kinautolu taki taha, pea fekau ki he tauhi matapā ke leʻo.
34It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.
35Ko ia mou leʻo: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe haʻu fakakū ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻi he efiafi, pe ʻi he tuʻuapō, pe ʻi he ʻuʻua ʻae moa, pe ʻi he pongipongi;
35Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
36Telia naʻa haʻu fakafokifā pe ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou mohe.
36Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.
37Pea ko ia ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ou tala ki he kakai kotoa pē, Leʻo.”
37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”
