मर्कूस 13
1 येशूले मन्दिरको इलाका छोडन लाग्नु भएको थियो। कुनै एकजना चेलाले उहाँलाई भने, “गुरूज्यू हेर्नुहोस्। यी मन्दिरको भवनहरू धेरै ठूला ठूला ढुंगाहरूले बताएर अति सुन्दर भएको छ।”
2 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरू यो ठूला भवनहरू देख्छौ? यी भवनहरू सबै ध्वंस हुनेछ। प्रत्येक ढुंगा भूँइमा फयाँकिनेछ। एउटाकोमाथि अर्को कुनै ढुंगा त्यहाँ रहने छैन।”
3 त्यसपछि येशू जैतून डाँडामा बसिरहनु भएको थियो। उहाँ पत्रुस, याकूब यूहन्ना र अन्द्रियास संग अलग्ग हुनुहुन्थ्यो। तिनीहरू सबैले मन्दिर देख्न सके। तिनीहरूले येशूलाई सोधे,
4 हामीलाई भन्नुहोस् कहिले यस्तो घटना घट्ने छ? अनि यी सब घटना हुनलाग्दा के संकेत हुनेछ?”
5 येशूले चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “होशियार रहो! कसैले तिमीहरूलाई मूर्ख नबनाओस्।
6 धेरै मानिसहरू मेरा नाममा आउनेछन्। तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन् म नै एक हुँ। अनि तिनीहरूले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई मूर्ख तुल्याउनेछन्।
7 तिमीहरूले लडाईको बारेमा सुन्ने पाउनेछौ। अनि अरू हुने लँडाईहरूको बारेमा पनि कथाहरू सुन्नेछौ। तर डराऊनु पर्दैन। अन्तको समय आउन अघिनै यी घटनाहरू घट्नेछ।
8 राष्टहरू अन्य राष्ट्रहरूसित लडाई गर्नेछन्। राज्य राज्यहरू माझ लडाई चल्नेछ। विभिन्न ठाउँहरूमा भूकम्प जानेछ। यस्तोे समय पनि आउने छ जतिबेला खानलाई केही कुरा हुनेछैन। त्यस समयमा नयाँ जन्म हुने प्रार्थमिक समयमा जस्तै कष्टपूर्ण हुनेछ।
9 तिमीहरू होशियारी बस। मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूलाई पक्रनेछन् अनि न्यायको लागि लैजानेछन। तिनीहरूले सभाघरहरूमा तिमीहरूलाई पिटनेछन्। तिमीहरूलाई हाकिमहरू र राजाको सामु जबरजस्ती उभ्याइनेछन्। तिमीहरूले मेरो बारेमा साक्षी दिनु पर्नेछन्। तीनीहरूलाई हाकिमहरू र राजाको सामु जबरजस्ती उभ्याइनछन्। तिमीहरूले मेरो बारेमा साक्षी दिनु पर्नेछन। तिमीहरूले मलाई पछ्याएको कारणले गर्दा यी सबै हुनेछन
10 यस भन्दा अघिनै सबै जातिहरू सुसमाचार प्रचार गरिनु पर्नेछ।
11 तिमीहरू पक्राउ हुनेछौ अनि न्यायको भागी बन्नु पर्नेछ। तर तिमीहरूले त्यहाँ जे भन्नेछौ त्यस बारे डराउनु पर्ने छैन। त्यसबेला परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई जे दिनुहुन्छ त्यही भन्नु पर्नेछ। त्यसबेला वास्तवमा तिमी आफै बोलिरहेको हुने छैनौं। पवित्र-आत्मा बोलिरहेको हुनेछ।
12 दाज्यूभाइहरूले दाज्यूभाइहरूलाई मार्ने विश्वासघात गर्नेछन्। बाबुहरूले आफ्नै छोराहरूप्रति विश्वासघात गर्नेछन्। अनि मार्नेछन्। छोरा छोरीहरू पनि आफ्नै आमाबाबूहरूको विरूद्धमा उठ्नेछन् अनि तीनले आमाबाबूहरूलाई मार्नेछन।
13 सबै मानिसहरूले मलाई पछ्यायौ भनेर तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेछन्। तर जो चाँहि अन्त्यसम्म नै बलवान रहन्छ उ मात्रै बाँच्ने छ।
14 तिमीहरूले भयानक विनास देख्नेछौ। तिनीहरूले त्यो घटना एउटा त्येस्तो ठाउँमा उभिएर हेर्ने छौ जहाँ त्यस्तौ नहुनु पर्नेथ्यो।” (मानिस जसले पढछ यसको अर्थ के हुन्छ बुझनुपर्छ।) त्यसबेला यहूदिया मानिसहरू पहाडहरूतिर भाग्नु पर्छ।
15 मानिसहरू समय खेर नफाली भाग्नु पर्छ। यदि कुनै मानिस घरको छानामा छ भने घरबाट केही निकाल्नलाई उ तलतिर ओर्लेनु हुदैन।
16 यदि कुनै मानिस आफ्नो खेतबारीमा छ भने त्यो पनि फर्केर आफ्नो वस्त्र ल्याउन त्यहाँ जानेछैन।
17 हाय, त्यसबेला गर्भवती स्त्री वा ससाना नानीका आमाहरूलाई पनि नराम्रो हुनेछ।
18 यस्तो घटना जाडोको समयमा नहोस् भनेर प्रार्थना गर।
19 किनभने ती दिनहरूमा जुन कष्ट हुन्छ त्यो यस्तो हुन्छ कि परमेश्वरले संसारको सृष्टि गरेको देखि अहिलसम्म फेरि भएको छैन। अनि यस्तो महासकंष्टहरू फेरि घटने छैन।
20 उहाँका मानिसहरूको निम्ति परमेश्वरले त्यो भयानक समयलाई सीमित पार्ने निश्चय गर्नु भएको छ। यदि त्यो समय नछोटाइए कोही पनि बाँच्ने छैन। तर परमेश्वरले आफूले चुन्नु भएका मानिसहरूका निम्ति सहायता पुर्याउनलाई त्यो समय छोट्याउनु भएको छ।
21 त्यसबेला, यदि केही मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भने, हेर, ख्रीष्ट यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ। अथ्वा उहाँ त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ। यसलाई विश्वास नगर।
22 झूटो ख्रीष्टहरू र झुटो अगमवक्ताहरू आउनेछन् अनि परमेश्वरले चुनेका मानिसहरूलाई धोका दिनु सभव भए चिन्हहरू र चम्त्कारहरू गर्नेछन्।
23 यसकारण होशियारी बन। यी सब हुन अघि नै मैले सर्तक गराएको छु।
24 तर त्यसपछिका दिनहरूमा यस्तो दुःखको समय आउने छ,सूर्य अँध्यारो हुनेछ, अनि चन्द्रमाले पनि ज्योति दिनेछैन।
25 आकाशबाट तारहरू झर्नेछन् अनि आकाशका सबै शक्तिहरू डग्मगाउनेछन्
26 त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई महान शक्ति र महिमासित बादलमा भएर आउँदै गरेको देख्नेछन्
27 मानिसको पुत्रले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई पृथ्वीको चारैतिर पठाउनु हुनेछ। स्वर्गदूतहरूले पृथ्वीका प्रत्येक कुनाबाट चुनिएका मानिसहरूलाई भेला गर्नेछन् ।
28 अञ्जीरको रूखले हामीलाई पाठ पढाउनेछः जब अञ्जीरको रूखको हाँगाहरू हरियो र कलिलो हुनेछ नयाँ पातहरू उम्रन थाल्नेछ, तब तिमीहरूले ग्रीष्म ऋतु नजिक छ भनेर बुझ्नेछौ
29 त्यसरीनै जब तिमीहरू यी कुराहरू घटेका देख्नेछौ तब तिमीहरूले पनी जान्ने छौ कि मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेका कुराहरूको समय नजिकमा अनि ठीक ढोकामा छन।
30 म तिमीहरूलाई साँचो भन्दछु। यी सबै कुराहरू यही समयका मानिसहरू जीवित भएकै बेला हुनेछन्।
31 स्वर्ग अनि पृथ्वी ध्वंस हुनेछ। तर मैले भनेका वचनहरू कहिल्यै नाश हुने छैन।
32 “कसैले पनि त्यो दिन र समय थाहा पाउने छैन। पुत्र र स्वर्गमा भएको स्वगदूतहरूले समेत त्यो दिन र समय जान्ने छैनन्। त्यो दिन र समय केवल पिताले मात्र जान्नु हुनछ।
33 होशियार रहो। सँधैं तयारी बस त्यो समय कहिले आउने भनी तिमीले जान्दैनौ।
34 यो परदेश गईरहेको मानिस जस्तै हो जसले आफ्नो घर छोडेकोहुन्छ। त्यो मानिसले आफ्नो नोकरहरूलाई घर जिम्मा दिएको हुन्छ। त्यसले प्रत्येक नोकरलाई विशेष काम गर्न लाएको हुन्छ अनि उसले पालेलाई होशियार साथ ढोकाको रक्षा गरेर सर्तक बस्नु भनेर आज्ञा दिन्छ।
35 यसकारण तिमीहरू सँधैं सर्तक रहो। यो घरको मालिक कहिले फर्की आऊला भनेर तिमीहरूले थाहा पाएकै हूँदैनौ। उ निश्चयनै बेलुका वा मध्य रातमा, वा बिहानै, वा घाम झुल्केपछि आउनेछ।
36 मालिक एक्कसि फकिर्नेछ। यदि तिमीहरू तयारी र सर्तक रहयौ भने उसले तिमीहरूलाई सुतिरहेको पाउने छैन।
37 म तिमीहरूलाई यसो भन्दछु, अनि प्रत्येकलाई यसो भन्दछु, ‘सर्तक रहो!”‘
1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
