13 ¶ Antan Jezi t'ap soti nan tanp lan, yonn nan disip li yo di l' konsa: -Mèt, gade. Ala de bèl wòch! Ala yon gwo batisman!

Jezi reponn li: -Ou wè gwo batisman sa a: yon lè, p'ap gen de wòch k'ap rete kanpe yonn sou lòt ladan li. Tou sa pral kraze nèt vide atè.

Jezi te chita sou mòn Oliv la, vizaviz ak tanp lan. Pyè, Jak ak Andre te pou kont yo avèk li. Yo poze l' keksyon sa a:

-Di nou kilè sa va rive non? Ki siy ki va fè nou konnen lè tout bagay sa a yo gen pou rive?

¶ Lè sa a Jezi pran di yo: -Atansyon pou pesonn pa twonpe nou.

Paske, anpil moun va vini sou non mwen, y'a di se yo menm ki Kris la. y'a twonpe anpil moun.

Lè n'a tande lagè ap fèt toupre nou, ansanm ak nouvèl lagè k'ap fèt byen lwen, nou pa bezwen pè. Fòk bagay sa yo rive. Men, se p'ap ankò lafen an sa.

Yon pèp va goumen ak yon lòt pèp. Yon peyi va atake yon lòt peyi; va gen tranblemanntè divès kote. Va gen anpil grangou. Tou sa, se va tankou tranche anvan akouchman.

Men, nou menm, kenbe kò nou. Y'ap trennen nou devan tribinal, y'ap bat nou nan sinagòg yo, n'ap konparèt devan chèf gouvènman ak devan wa poutèt mwen, pou nou ka sèvi m' temwen devan yo.

10 Anvan sa, fòk yo anonse bon nouvèl la bay tout nasyon yo.

11 Lè y'a arete nou pou mennen nou nan tribinal, pa kase tèt nou pou nou chache konnen davans sa n'a pral di; men, n'a di pawòl ki va vin nan bouch nou: paske lè sa a, se pa nou menm ki va pale, se Sentespri a ki va mete pawòl yo nan bouch nou.

12 Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit, pitit va leve kont manman l' ak papa l', la fè touye yo.

13 Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen; men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se li ki va sove.

14 ¶ Nou gen pou nou wè bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan, chita kote l' pa t' dwe ye. (Se pou tout moun k'ap li sa a chache konprann.) Lè sa a, tout moun ki nan peyi Jide va blije al nan mòn.

15 Moun ki va sou tèt kay yo va kouri met deyò san yo p'ap bezwen antre pran zafè yo.

16 Moun ki nan jaden p'ap bezwen tounen lakay yo pou pran rechanj yo.

17 Lè sa a, se p'ap de lapenn pou fanm ansent ak nouris yo.

18 Lapriyè Bondye pou bagay sa yo pa rive nan tan fredi.

19 Paske lè sa a, n'a wè yon lafliksyon moun poko janm wè, depi nan konmansman lè Bondye t'ap kreye latè jouk koulye a. p'ap janm gen yon lòt tankou l' ankò.

20 Si Mèt la pa t' deside wete kèk jou sou jou sa yo, pesonn pa t'ap sove. Men, li wete sou jou sa yo poutèt moun li chwazi pou la ak li yo.

21 Lè sa a, si yon moun di nou: Gade, men Kris la bò isit, osinon: Gade, men li lòt bò a, pa kwè li.

22 Lè sa a, gen fo Kris ak fo pwofèt k'ap parèt; y'a fè mèvèy ak mirak pou twonpe ata moun Bondye chwazi yo, si yo ta kapab.

23 Veye kò nou. Mwen tou di nou tout bagay sa yo davans.

24 ¶ Men nan tan sa a, apre jou lafliksyon sa yo, solèy la p'ap klere ankò, lalen lan p'ap bay limyè.

25 Zetwal yo va sot tonbe nan syèl la, pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la va tranble.

26 Lè sa a, y'a wè m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo, avèk anpil pouvwa nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay.

27 m'a voye zanj mwen yo nan kat kwen latè a pou sanble tout moun Bondye te chwazi yo, depi yon bout tè a jouk nan lòt bout syèl la.

28 ¶ Pran leson sou pye fig frans lan. Kou l' kòmanse boujonnen, kou l' pouse fèy, nou konnen lete sou nou.

29 Menm jan an tou, lè n'a wè bagay sa yo rive, nou mèt konnen Moun Bondye te voye nan lachè a toupre, li la nan papòt la.

30 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: gen moun k'ap viv koulye a ki p'ap gen tan mouri anvan tout bagay sa yo rive.

31 Syèl la ak tout tè a va pase, men pawòl mwen yo p'ap janm pase.

32 Pesonn pa konnen ni ki jou ni ki lè bagay sa yo ap rive, pa menm zanj yo ki nan syèl la, pa menm Pitit la. Sèl Papa a konn sa.

33 Kenbe kò nou; pa kite dòmi pran nou; paske nou pa konnen ki lè lè a va rive.

34 Se tankou lè yon nonm pati li al nan vwayaj. Li kite kay li nan men domestik yo pou yo okipe l' pou li. Li bay chak moun travay pa yo pou yo fè; li bay gadyen pòt la lòd pou l' pa dòmi.

35 Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske nou pa konnen ki lè mèt kay la va vini. Se ka aswè, nan mitan lannwit, lè kòk chante, osinon nan maten.

36 Si l' rive yon lè nou pa t'ap tann li, piga li jwenn nou ap dòmi.

37 Sa m' di nou la a, mwen di l' pou tout moun: Pa kite dòmi pran nou.

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)

13 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”(B)

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(C) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(D) and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”

Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(E) Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

“You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.(F) On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.(G)

12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.(H) 13 Everyone will hate you because of me,(I) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(J)

14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a](K) standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(L) 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world,(M) until now—and never to be equaled again.(N)

20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.(O) 22 For false messiahs and false prophets(P) will appear and perform signs and wonders(Q) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 So be on your guard;(R) I have told you everything ahead of time.

24 “But in those days, following that distress,

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[c](S)

26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds(T) with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.(U)

28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it[d] is near, right at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation(V) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(W) 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(X)

The Day and Hour Unknown

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(Y) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[e]!(Z) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(AA) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(AB)
