mārkaḥ 13
1 anantaraṁ mandirād bahirgamanakāle tasya śiṣyāṇāmekastaṁ vyāhṛtavān he guro paśyatu kīdṛśāḥ pāṣāṇāḥ kīdṛk ca nicayanaṁ|
As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these massive stones and magnificent buildings!”
2 tadā yīśustam avadat tvaṁ kimetad bṛhannicayanaṁ paśyasi? asyaikapāṣāṇopi dvitīyapāṣāṇopari na sthāsyati sarvve 'dhaḥkṣepsyante|
“You see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone will be left on top of another. Everything will be torn down.”
3 atha yasmin kāle jaitungirau mandirasya sammukhe sa samupaviṣṭastasmin kāle pitaro yākūb yohan āndriyaścaite taṁ rahasi papracchuḥ,
As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him in private,
4 etā ghaṭanāḥ kadā bhaviṣyanti? tathaitatsarvvāsāṁ siddhyupakramasya vā kiṁ cihnaṁ? tadasmabhyaṁ kathayatu bhavān|
“Tell us: When this will happen? What's the sign that all this is about to be fulfilled?”
5 tato yāśustān vaktumārebhe, kopi yathā yuṣmān na bhrāmayati tathātra yūyaṁ sāvadhānā bhavata|
Jesus began telling them, “Make sure no one deceives you.
6 yataḥ khrīṣṭohamiti kathayitvā mama nāmnāneke samāgatya lokānāṁ bhramaṁ janayiṣyanti;
Many will come in my name claiming, ‘I am the Christ.’ They will deceive many people.
7 kintu yūyaṁ raṇasya vārttāṁ raṇāḍambarañca śrutvā mā vyākulā bhavata, ghaṭanā etā avaśyammāvinyaḥ; kintvāpātato na yugānto bhaviṣyati|
Don't be troubled when you hear of wars nearby and wars far away. These things must happen but this is not the end.
8 deśasya vipakṣatayā deśo rājyasya vipakṣatayā ca rājyamutthāsyati, tathā sthāne sthāne bhūmikampo durbhikṣaṁ mahākleśāśca samupasthāsyanti, sarvva ete duḥkhasyārambhāḥ|
Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines too. These are the beginnings of the world's birth pains.
9 kintu yūyam ātmārthe sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata, yato lokā rājasabhāyāṁ yuṣmān samarpayiṣyanti, tathā bhajanagṛhe prahariṣyanti; yūyaṁ madarthe deśādhipān bhūpāṁśca prati sākṣyadānāya teṣāṁ sammukhe upasthāpayiṣyadhve|
Watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to the courts to be tried. You will be beaten in synagogues. Because of me you will have to stand before governors and kings, and you will be witnesses to them.
10 śeṣībhavanāt pūrvvaṁ sarvvān deśīyān prati susaṁvādaḥ pracārayiṣyate|
The good news must first be announced in every nation.
11 kintu yadā te yuṣmān dhṛtvā samarpayiṣyanti tadā yūyaṁ yadyad uttaraṁ dāsyatha, tadagra tasya vivecanaṁ mā kuruta tadarthaṁ kiñcidapi mā cintayata ca, tadānīṁ yuṣmākaṁ manaḥsu yadyad vākyam upasthāpayiṣyate tadeva vadiṣyatha, yato yūyaṁ na tadvaktāraḥ kintu pavitra ātmā tasya vaktā|
When they come to arrest you and put you on trial, don't worry about what to say. Just say what you're told at that time, because it's not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12 tadā bhrātā bhrātaraṁ pitā putraṁ ghātanārthaṁ parahasteṣu samarpayiṣyate, tathā patyāni mātāpitro rvipakṣatayā tau ghātayiṣyanti|
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father will betray his child. Children will turn against their parents and have them condemned to death.
13 mama nāmahetoḥ sarvveṣāṁ savidhe yūyaṁ jugupsitā bhaviṣyatha, kintu yaḥ kaścit śeṣaparyyantaṁ dhairyyam ālambiṣyate saeva paritrāsyate|
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but whoever endures until the end will be saved.
14 dāniyelbhaviṣyadvādinā proktaṁ sarvvanāśi jugupsitañca vastu yadā tvayogyasthāne vidyamānaṁ drakṣatha (yo janaḥ paṭhati sa budhyatāṁ) tadā ye yihūdīyadeśe tiṣṭhanti te mahīdhraṁ prati palāyantāṁ;
But when you see the ‘idolatry that causes devastation’ standing where it shouldn't be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea should run to the mountains.
15 tathā yo naro gṛhopari tiṣṭhati sa gṛhamadhyaṁ nāvarohatu, tathā kimapi vastu grahītuṁ madhyegṛhaṁ na praviśatu;
Those who are on the roof—don't go back inside the house to get anything.
16 tathā ca yo naraḥ kṣetre tiṣṭhati sopi svavastraṁ grahītuṁ parāvṛtya na vrajatu|
Those who are out in the fields—don't go home to get a coat.
17 tadānīṁ garbbhavatīnāṁ stanyadātrīṇāñca yoṣitāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati|
How hard it will be for those who are pregnant or nursing at that time!
18 yuṣmākaṁ palāyanaṁ śītakāle yathā na bhavati tadarthaṁ prārthayadhvaṁ|
Pray that this won't happen during the winter.
19 yatastadā yādṛśī durghaṭanā ghaṭiṣyate tādṛśī durghaṭanā īśvarasṛṣṭeḥ prathamamārabhyādya yāvat kadāpi na jātā na janiṣyate ca|
For these will be days of trouble like never before since the beginning of God's creation until now, and they won't ever come again.
20 aparañca parameśvaro yadi tasya samayasya saṁkṣepaṁ na karoti tarhi kasyāpi prāṇabhṛto rakṣā bhavituṁ na śakṣyati, kintu yān janān manonītān akarot teṣāṁ svamanonītānāṁ hetoḥ sa tadanehasaṁ saṁkṣepsyati|
If God doesn't cut short these days, no one will survive. However, for the sake of those God has chosen, he has cut them short.
21 anyacca paśyata khrīṣṭotra sthāne vā tatra sthāne vidyate, tasminkāle yadi kaścid yuṣmān etādṛśaṁ vākyaṁ vyāharati, tarhi tasmin vākye bhaiva viśvasita|
So if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘Look, there he is,’ don't believe it.
22 yatoneke mithyākhrīṣṭā mithyābhaviṣyadvādinaśca samupasthāya bahūni cihnānyadbhutāni karmmāṇi ca darśayiṣyanti; tathā yadi sambhavati tarhi manonītalokānāmapi mithyāmatiṁ janayiṣyanti|
For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear, and they will perform miraculous signs and wonders to deceive the chosen of God, if that were possible.
23 paśyata ghaṭanātaḥ pūrvvaṁ sarvvakāryyasya vārttāṁ yuṣmabhyamadām, yūyaṁ sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata|
Watch out! I've told you everything before it happens.
24 aparañca tasya kleśakālasyāvyavahite parakāle bhāskaraḥ sāndhakāro bhaviṣyati tathaiva candraścandrikāṁ na dāsyati|
This is what will happen after those troubles: ‘The sun will become dark, the moon won't shine,
25 nabhaḥsthāni nakṣatrāṇi patiṣyanti, vyomamaṇḍalasthā grahāśca vicaliṣyanti|
the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.’
26 tadānīṁ mahāparākrameṇa mahaiśvaryyeṇa ca meghamāruhya samāyāntaṁ mānavasutaṁ mānavāḥ samīkṣiṣyante|
Then they will see the Son of man as he comes on the clouds, possessing great power and glory.
27 anyacca sa nijadūtān prahitya nabhobhūmyoḥ sīmāṁ yāvad jagataścaturdigbhyaḥ svamanonītalokān saṁgrahīṣyati|
He will send out the angels, and gather together all his chosen ones from wherever they are, from the most distant part of the earth to the farthest point of heaven.
28 uḍumbarataro rdṛṣṭāntaṁ śikṣadhvaṁ yadoḍumbarasya taro rnavīnāḥ śākhā jāyante pallavādīni ca rnigacchanti, tadā nidāghakālaḥ savidho bhavatīti yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śaknutha|
Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches grow soft and send out leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 tadvad etā ghaṭanā dṛṣṭvā sa kālo dvāryyupasthita iti jānīta|
In the same way, when you see these things happening, you know that it's near—right outside the door!
30 yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, ādhunikalokānāṁ gamanāt pūrvvaṁ tāni sarvvāṇi ghaṭiṣyante|
I tell you the truth, this generation won't come to an end until all these things have happened.
31 dyāvāpṛthivyo rvicalitayoḥ satyo rmadīyā vāṇī na vicaliṣyati|
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my teachings will not.
32 aparañca svargasthadūtagaṇo vā putro vā tātādanyaḥ kopi taṁ divasaṁ taṁ daṇḍaṁ vā na jñāpayati|
No one knows the day or hour when this will happen—not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son; only the Father knows.
33 ataḥ sa samayaḥ kadā bhaviṣyati, etajjñānābhāvād yūyaṁ sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata, satarkāśca bhūtvā prārthayadhvaṁ;
Keep watch! Stay awake! For you don't know when this will happen.
34 yadvat kaścit pumān svaniveśanād dūradeśaṁ prati yātrākaraṇakāle dāseṣu svakāryyasya bhāramarpayitvā sarvvān sve sve karmmaṇi niyojayati; aparaṁ dauvārikaṁ jāgarituṁ samādiśya yāti, tadvan naraputraḥ|
It's like a man who went away on a journey. He left his house, and gave each of his servants the authority to do what he told them. He told the doorkeeper to stay awake.
35 gṛhapatiḥ sāyaṁkāle niśīthe vā tṛtīyayāme vā prātaḥkāle vā kadāgamiṣyati tad yūyaṁ na jānītha;
So keep watch, because you don't know when the owner of the house is coming back. It may be in the evening, in the middle of the night, before dawn, or in the morning.
36 sa haṭhādāgatya yathā yuṣmān nidritān na paśyati, tadarthaṁ jāgaritāstiṣṭhata|
You don't want to be caught sleeping if he returns unexpectedly.
37 yuṣmānahaṁ yad vadāmi tadeva sarvvān vadāmi, jāgaritāstiṣṭhateti|
What I'm telling you, I'm telling everyone: Watch!”
