Mark 13

1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

1 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يُغَادِرُ الْهَيْكَلَ، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ تَلامِيذِهِ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، انْظُرْ مَا أَجْمَلَ هذِهِ الْحِجَارَةَ وَهذِهِ الْمَبَانِيَ!»

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

2 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَتَرَى هذِهِ الْمَبَانِيَ الْعَظِيمَةَ؟ لَنْ يُتْرَكَ مِنْهَا حَجَرٌ فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ إِلّا وَيُهْدَمُ!»

3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

3 وَفِيمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى جَبَلَ الزَّيْتُونِ مُقَابِلَ الْهَيْكَلِ، سَأَلَهُ بُطْرُسُ وَيَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ:

4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”

4 «أَخْبِرْنَا مَتَى يَحْدُثُ هَذَا، وَمَا هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ عِنْدَمَا تُوشِكُ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ أَنْ تَتِمَّ؟»

5 Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5 فَأَخَذَ يَسُوعُ يُجِيبُهُمْ قَائِلاً: «انْتَبِهُوا! لَا يُضَلِّلْكُمْ أَحَدٌ!

6 Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

6 فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ، إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَيُضَلِّلُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.

7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7 وَلكِنْ، عِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ بِالْحُرُوبِ وَأَخْبَارِ الْحُرُوبِ لَا تَرْتَعِبُوا؛ فَإِنَّ ذلِكَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَتِ النِّهَايَةُ بَعْدُ.

8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

8 فَسَوْفَ تَنْقَلِبُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ، وَتَحْدُثُ زَلازِلُ فِي عِدَّةِ أَمَاكِنَ، كَمَا تَحْدُثُ مَجَاعَاتٌ وَلكِنَّ هَذَا أَوَّلُ الْمَخَاضِ.

9 So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

9 فَانْتَبِهُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ سَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَحَاكِمِ وَالْمَجَامِعِ، فَتُضْرَبُونَ وَتَمْثُلُونَ أَمَامَ حُكَّامٍ وَمُلُوكٍ مِنْ أَجْلِي، شَهَادَةً عِنْدَهُمْ.

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

10 وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يُبَشَّرَ أَوَّلاً بِالإِنْجِيلِ فِي جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.

11 But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

11 فَإِذَا سَاقُوكُمْ لِيُسَلِّمُوكُمْ، لَا تَنْشَغِلُوا مُسْبَقاً بِمَا تَقُولُونَ: وَإِنَّمَا كُلُّ مَا تُلْهَمُونَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ، فَبِهِ تَكَلَّمُوا، لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ بَلِ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ.

12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

12 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُ الأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَالأَبُ وَلَدَهُ، وَيَنْقَلِبُ الأَوْلادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ.

13 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

13 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ، فَهُوَ يَخْلُصُ.

14 So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

14 فَعِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ رَجَاسَةَ الْخَرَابِ قَائِمَةً حَيْثُ لَا يَنْبَغِي، لِيَفْهَمْ الْقَارِئُ! عِنْدَئِذٍ لِيَهْرُبْ الَّذِينَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ؛

15 Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

15 وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى السَّطْحِ، فَلا يَنْزِلْ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَلا يَدْخُلْ لِيَأْخُذَ مَا فِي بَيْتِهِ؛

16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

16 وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَلا يَرْجِعْ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَهُ.

17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

17 وَالْوَيْلُ لِلْحَبَالَى وَالْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ!

18 Pray that this will not occur in the winter.

18 فَصَلُّوا لِكَي لَا يَقَعَ ذلِكَ فِي شِتَاءٍ:

19 For those will be days of tribulation unseen from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

19 فَسَوْفَ تَحْدُثُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ ضِيقَةٌ لَمْ يَحْدُثْ مِثْلُهَا مُنْذُ بَدْءِ الْخَلِيقَةِ الَّتِي خَلَقَهَا اللهُ إِلَى الآنَ وَلَنْ يَحْدُثَ.

20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

20 وَلَوْلا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَصَرَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ، لَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ يَنْجُو. وَلكِنَّهُ لأَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمْ، قَدِ اخْتَصَرَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ.

21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

21 فَإِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَئِذٍ: هَا إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُنَا! أَوْ: هَا هُوَ هُنَاكَ! فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا.

22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

22 فَسَوْفَ يَبْرُزُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مَسِيحٍ دَجَّالٍ وَنَبِيٍّ دَجَّالٍ، وَيُقَدِّمُونَ آيَاتٍ وَأَعَاجِيبَ، لِيُضَلِّلُوا حَتَّى الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لَوِ اسْتَطَاعُوا.

23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

23 فَانْتَبِهُوا إِذَنْ! هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا قَبْلَ حُدُوثِهَا.

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

24 وَلكِنْ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، بَعْدَ تِلْكَ الضِّيقَةِ، تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ وَيَحْجُبُ الْقَمَرُ ضَوْءَهُ،

25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

25 وَتَتَهَاوَى نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ الْقُوَّاتُ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

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

26 وَعِنْدَئِذٍ سَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِياً فِي السُّحُبِ بِقُدْرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَمَجْدٍ.

27 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

27 فَيُرْسِلُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مَلائِكَتَهُ وَيَجْمَعُ مُخْتَارِيهِ مِنَ الْجِهَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ، مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَى السَّمَاءِ.

28 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

28 فَمِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ تَعَلَّمُوا هَذَا الْمَثَلَ: عِنْدَمَا تَلِينُ أَغْصَانُهَا وَتُطْلِعُ أَوْرَاقَهَا، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الصَّيْفَ قَرِيبٌ.

29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

29 فَكَذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، حِينَمَا تَرَوْنَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ تَحْدُثُ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ، بَلْ عَلَى الأَبْوَابِ.

30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

30 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَزُولُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ أَبَداً حَتَّى تَحْدُثَ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

31 إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ تَزُولانِ، وَلكِنَّ كَلامِي لَا يَزُولُ أَبَداً.

32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

32 وَأَمَّا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ وَتِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ فَلا يَعْرِفُهُمَا أَحَدٌ، لَا الْمَلائِكَةُ الَّذِينَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلا الاِبْنُ، إِلّا الآبُ.

33 Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.

33 فَانْتَبِهُوا وَاسْهَرُوا لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ مَتَى يَحِينُ الْوَقْتُ!

34 It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

34 فَالأَمْرُ أَشْبَهُ بِإِنْسَانٍ مُسَافِرٍ، تَرَكَ بَيْتَهُ، وَأَعْطَى عَبِيدَهُ السُّلْطَةَ مُعَيِّناً لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَمَلَهُ، وَأَوْصَى حَارِسَ الْبَابِ أَنْ يَسْهَرَ.

35 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning.

35 إِذَنِ اسْهَرُوا، لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ مَتَى يَعُودُ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ: أَمَسَاءً، أَمْ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ، أَمْ عِنْدَ صِيَاحِ الدِّيكِ، أَمْ صَبَاحاً،

36 Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.

36 لِئَلّا يَعُودَ فَجْأَةً وَيَجِدَكُمْ نَائِمِينَ.

37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”

37 وَمَا أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ، أَقُولُهُ لِلْجَمِيعِ: اسْهَرُوا!»
