Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
1Respiciens autem, vidit eos qui mittebant munera sua in gazophylacium, divites.
2He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
2Vidit autem et quamdam viduam pauperculam mittentem æra minuta duo.
3He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
3Et dixit: Vere dico vobis, quia vidua hæc pauper plus quam omnes misit.
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.”
4Nam omnes hi ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei: hæc autem ex eo quod deest illi, omnem victum suum quem habuit, misit.
5As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
5Et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod bonis lapidibus et donis ornatum esset, dixit:
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.”
6Hæc quæ videtis, venient dies in quibus non relinquetur lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur.
7They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
7Interrogaverunt autem illum, dicentes: Præceptor, quando hæc erunt, et quod signum cum fieri incipient?
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.
8Qui dixit: Videte ne seducamini: multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes quia ego sum: et tempus appropinquavit: nolite ergo ire post eos.
9When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
9Cum autem audieritis prælia et seditiones, nolite terreri: oportet primum hæc fieri, sed nondum statim finis.
10Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
10Tunc dicebat illis: Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum adversus regnum.
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
11Et terræmotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiæ, et fames, terroresque de cælo, et signa magna erunt.
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.
12Sed ante hæc omnia injicient vobis manus suas, et persequentur tradentes in synagogas et custodias, trahentes ad reges et præsides propter nomen meum:
13It will turn out as a testimony for you.
13continget autem vobis in testimonium.
14Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
14Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non præmeditari quemadmodum respondeatis:
15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
15ego enim dabo vobis os et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri.
16You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
16Trademini autem a parentibus, et fratribus, et cognatis, et amicis, et morte afficient ex vobis:
17You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
17et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum:
18And not a hair of your head will perish.
18et capillus de capite vestro non peribit.
19“By your endurance you will win your lives.
19In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras.
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
20Cum autem videritis circumdari ab exercitu Jerusalem, tunc scitote quia appropinquavit desolatio ejus:
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.
21tunc qui in Judæa sunt, fugiant ad montes, et qui in medio ejus, discedant: et qui in regionibus, non intrent in eam,
22For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
22quia dies ultionis hi sunt, ut impleantur omnia quæ scripta sunt.
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.
23Væ autem prægnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus ! erit enim pressura magna super terram, et ira populo huic.
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.
24Et cadent in ore gladii, et captivi ducentur in omnes gentes, et Jerusalem calcabitur a gentibus, donec impleantur tempora nationum.
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;
25Et erunt signa in sole, et luna, et stellis, et in terris pressura gentium præ confusione sonitus maris, et fluctuum:
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.
26arescentibus hominibus præ timore, et exspectatione, quæ supervenient universo orbi: nam virtutes cælorum movebuntur:
27Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
27et tunc videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nube cum potestate magna et majestate.
28But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
28His autem fieri incipientibus, respicite, et levate capita vestra: quoniam appropinquat redemptio vestra.
29He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
29Et dixit illis similitudinem: Videte ficulneam, et omnes arbores:
30When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
30cum producunt jam ex se fructum, scitis quoniam prope est æstas.
31Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
31Ita et vos cum videritis hæc fieri, scitote quoniam prope est regnum Dei.
32Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
32Amen dico vobis, quia non præteribit generatio hæc, donec omnia fiant.
33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
33Cælum et terra transibunt: verba autem mea non transibunt.
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.
34Attendite autem vobis, ne forte graventur corda vestra in crapula, et ebrietate, et curis hujus vitæ, et superveniat in vos repentina dies illa:
35For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
35tamquam laqueus enim superveniet in omnes qui sedent super faciem omnis terræ.
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.”
36Vigilate itaque, omni tempore orantes, ut digni habeamini fugere ista omnia quæ futura sunt, et stare ante Filium hominis.
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.
37Erat autem diebus docens in templo: noctibus vero exiens, morabatur in monte qui vocatur Oliveti.
38All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
38Et omnis populus manicabat ad eum in templo audire eum.
