New Testament

Mark 13

1Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, 'Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!'

και εκπορευομενου αυτου εκ του ιερου λεγει αυτω εις των μαθητων αυτου· διδασκαλε, ιδε ποταποι λιθοι και ποταπαι οικοδομαι.

2And Jesus answered and said to him, 'Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.'

και ο ιησους αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτω· βλεπεις ταυτας τας μεγαλας οικοδομας; ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον ος ου μη καταλυθη.

3Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

και καθημενου αυτου εις το ορος των ελαιων κατεναντι του ιερου, επηρωτων αυτον κατ ιδιαν πετρος και ιακωβος και ιωαννης και ανδρεας·

4'Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?'

ειπε ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται, και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη παντα ταυτα συντελεισθαι;

5And Jesus, answering them, began to say: 'Take heed that no one deceives you.

ο δε ιησους αποκριθεις ηρξατο λεγειν αυτοις· βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση.

6For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and will deceive many.

πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες οτι εγω ειμι, και πολλους πλανησουσιν.

7But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων, μη θροεισθε· δει γαρ γενεσθαι, αλλ ουπω το τελος.

8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν, και εσονται σεισμοι κατα τοπους, και εσονται λιμοι και ταραχαι. αρχαι ωδινων ταυτα.

9'But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.

βλεπετε δε υμεις εαυτους. παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων δαρησεσθε, και επι ηγεμονων και βασιλεων σταθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις·

10And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

και εις παντα τα εθνη δει πρωτον κηρυχθηναι το ευαγγελιον.

11But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

οταν δε αγαγωσιν υμας παραδιδοντες, μη προμεριμνατε τι λαλησητε, μηδε μελετατε, αλλ ο εαν δοθη υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα, τουτο λαλειτε· ου γαρ υμεις εστε οι λαλουντες, αλλα το πνευμα το αγιον.

12Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον, και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους.

13And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου· ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος, ουτος σωθησεται.

14'So when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not' (let the reader understand), 'then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

οταν δε ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν υπο δανιηλ του προφητου εστως οπου ου δει — ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω — τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη,

15Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

ο δε επι του δωματος μη καταβατω εις την οικιαν μηδε εισελθετω αραι τι εκ της οικιας αυτου,

16And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

και ο εις τον αγρον ων μη επιστρεψατω εις τα οπισω αραι το ιματιον αυτου.

17But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις.

18And pray that your flight may not be in winter.

προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος.

19For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

εσονται γαρ αι ημεραι εκειναι θλιψις, οια ου γεγονεν τοιαυτη απ αρχης κτισεως ης εκτισεν ο θεος εως του νυν και ου μη γενηται.

20And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

και ει μη εκολοβωσεν κυριος τας ημερας, ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ· αλλα δια τους εκλεκτους ους εξελεξατο εκολοβωσεν τας ημερας.

21'Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it.

και τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη, ιδου ωδε ο χριστος, ιδου εκει, μη πιστευετε.

22For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια και τερατα προς το αποπλαναν, ει δυνατον, και τους εκλεκτους.

23But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

υμεις δε βλεπετε· ιδου προειρηκα υμιν απαντα.

24'But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

αλλ εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις, μετα την θλιψιν εκεινην ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται, και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης,

25the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

και οι αστερες εσονται εκ του ουρανου πιπτοντες, και αι δυναμεις αι εν τοις ουρανοις σαλευθησονται.

26Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελαις μετα δυναμεως πολλης και δοξης.

27And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

και τοτε αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου και επισυναξει τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων, απ ακρου της γης εως ακρου του ουρανου.

28'Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην. οταν αυτης ο κλαδος ηδη γενηται απαλος και εκφυη τα φυλλα, γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος εστιν·

29So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!

ουτως και υμεις, οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα, γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις.

30Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη μεχρι ου παντα ταυτα γενηται.

31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται, οι δε εμοι λογοι ου μη παρελευσονται.

32'But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

περι δε της ημερας εκεινης η της ωρας ουδεις οιδεν, ουδε οι αγγελοι εν ουρανω, ουδε ο υιος, ει μη ο πατηρ.

33Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

βλεπετε, αγρυπνειτε και προσευχεσθε· ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο καιρος εστιν.

34It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

ως ανθρωπος αποδημος, αφεις την οικιαν αυτου, και δους τοις δουλοις αυτου την εξουσιαν, και εκαστω το εργον αυτου, και τω θυρωρω ενετειλατο ινα γρηγορη.

35Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—

γρηγορειτε ουν· ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο κυριος της οικιας ερχεται, οψε η μεσονυκτιου η αλεκτοροφωνιας η πρωι·

36lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

μη ελθων εξαιφνης ευρη υμας καθευδοντας.

37And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!'

α δε υμιν λεγω, πασιν λεγω· γρηγορειτε.
