Κατα Μαρκον 13
1 και εκπορευομενου αυτου εκ του ιερου λεγει αυτω εις των μαθητων αυτου διδασκαλε ιδε ποταποι λιθοι και ποταπαι οικοδομαι
As Jesus was walking away from the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at the wonderful stones and wonderful buildings!”
2 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω βλεπεις ταυτας τας μεγαλας οικοδομας ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον ος ου μη καταλυθη
He said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down.”
3 και καθημενου αυτου εις το ορος των ελαιων κατεναντι του ιερου επηρωτα αυτον κατ ιδιαν πετρος και ιακωβος και ιωαννης και ανδρεας
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
4 ειπον ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον οταν μελλη ταυτα συντελεισθαι παντα
“Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign when all these things are about to happen?”
5 ο δε ιησους ηρξατο λεγειν αυτοις βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση
Jesus began to say to them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
6 πολλοι ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες οτι εγω ειμι και πολλους πλανησουσιν
Many will come in my name and say, 'I am he,' and they will lead many astray.
7 οταν δε ακουσητε πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων μη θροεισθε δει γενεσθαι αλλ ουπω το τελος
When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not worry; these things must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επ εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν εσονται σεισμοι κατα τοπους εσονται λιμοι αρχη ωδινων ταυτα
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many places, and famines. These are the beginnings of birth pains.
9 βλεπετε δε υμεις εαυτους παραδωσουσιν υμας εις συνεδρια και εις συναγωγας δαρησεσθε και επι ηγεμονων και βασιλεων σταθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις
Be on your guard. They will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before both governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them.
10 και εις παντα τα εθνη πρωτον δει κηρυχθηναι το ευαγγελιον
But the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
11 και οταν αγωσιν υμας παραδιδοντες μη προμεριμνατε τι λαλησητε αλλ ο εαν δοθη υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τουτο λαλειτε ου γαρ εστε υμεις οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα το αγιον
When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry about what you should say. For in that hour, what you should say will be given to you; it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 και παραδωσει αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
13 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person will be saved.
14 οταν δε ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως εστηκοτα οπου ου δει ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη
When you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be standing (let the reader understand), let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
15 ο {VAR2: [δε] } επι του δωματος μη καταβατω μηδε εισελθατω {VAR1: τι αραι } {VAR2: αραι τι } εκ της οικιας αυτου
let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house or take anything out of it,
16 και ο εις τον αγρον μη επιστρεψατω εις τα οπισω αραι το ιματιον αυτου
and let him who is in the field not return to take his cloak.
17 ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις
But woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
18 προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται χειμωνος
Pray that it might not occur in the winter.
19 εσονται γαρ αι ημεραι εκειναι θλιψις οια ου γεγονεν τοιαυτη απ αρχης κτισεως ην εκτισεν ο θεος εως του νυν και ου μη γενηται
For there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning, when God created the world, until now, no, nor ever will be again.
20 και ει μη εκολοβωσεν κυριος τας ημερας ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ αλλα δια τους εκλεκτους ους εξελεξατο εκολοβωσεν τας ημερας
Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those whom he chose, he cut short the days.
21 και τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδε ωδε ο χριστος ιδε εκει μη πιστευετε
Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
22 εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια και τερατα προς το αποπλαναν ει δυνατον τους εκλεκτους
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and will give signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 υμεις δε βλεπετε προειρηκα υμιν παντα
Be on guard! I have told you all these things ahead of time.
24 αλλα εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις μετα την θλιψιν εκεινην ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης
But after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,
25 και οι αστερες εσονται εκ του ουρανου πιπτοντες και αι δυναμεις αι εν τοις ουρανοις σαλευθησονται
the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 και τοτε οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελαις μετα δυναμεως πολλης και δοξης
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 και τοτε αποστελει τους αγγελους και επισυναξει τους εκλεκτους [αυτου] εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρου γης εως ακρου ουρανου
Then he will send his angels and he will gather together his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
28 απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην οταν ηδη ο κλαδος αυτης απαλος γενηται και εκφυη τα φυλλα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος εστιν
Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as the branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις
So also, when you see these things happening, you know that he is near, close to the gates.
30 αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη μεχρις ου ταυτα παντα γενηται
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all of these things occur.
31 ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου {VAR2: μη } παρελευσονται
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
32 περι δε της ημερας εκεινης η της ωρας ουδεις οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι εν ουρανω ουδε ο υιος ει μη ο πατηρ
But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
33 βλεπετε αγρυπνειτε ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο καιρος {VAR1: [εστιν] } {VAR2: εστιν }
Be alert! Watch, because you do not know what time it is.
34 ως ανθρωπος αποδημος αφεις την οικιαν αυτου και δους τοις δουλοις αυτου την εξουσιαν εκαστω το εργον αυτου και τω θυρωρω ενετειλατο ινα γρηγορη
It is like a man who goes on a journey—he leaves his house and puts his servants in charge of the house, each one with his work, and he commands the watchman to stay awake.
35 γρηγορειτε ουν ουκ οιδατε γαρ ποτε ο κυριος της οικιας ερχεται η οψε η μεσονυκτιον η αλεκτοροφωνιας η πρωι
Therefore stay alert, because you do not know when the master of the house will come home; it could be in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.
36 μη ελθων εξαιφνης ευρη υμας καθευδοντας
If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.
37 ο δε υμιν λεγω πασιν λεγω γρηγορειτε
What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch!”
