< Matthew 24 >

1 And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple.
και εξελθων ο ιησους επορευετο απο του ιερου και προσηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου επιδειξαι αυτω τας οικοδομας του ιερου
2 But he said to them in response: “Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down.”
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου βλεπετε παντα ταυτα αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον ος ου μη καταλυθησεται
3 Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?” (aiōn g165)
καθημενου δε αυτου επι του ορους των ελαιων προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται κατ ιδιαν λεγοντες ειπε ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον της σης παρουσιας και της συντελειας του αιωνος (aiōn g165)
4 And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray.
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση
5 For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray.
πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες εγω ειμι ο χριστος και πολλους πλανησουσιν
6 For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
μελλησετε δε ακουειν πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων ορατε μη θροεισθε δει γαρ παντα γενεσθαι αλλ ουπω εστιν το τελος
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.
εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν και εσονται λιμοι και λοιμοι και σεισμοι κατα τοπους
8 But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.
παντα δε ταυτα αρχη ωδινων
9 Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.
τοτε παραδωσουσιν υμας εις θλιψιν και αποκτενουσιν υμας και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων εθνων δια το ονομα μου
10 And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.
και τοτε σκανδαλισθησονται πολλοι και αλληλους παραδωσουσιν και μισησουσιν αλληλους
11 And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.
και πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εγερθησονται και πλανησουσιν πολλους
12 And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.
και δια το πληθυνθηναι την ανομιαν ψυγησεται η αγαπη των πολλων
13 But whoever will have persevered until the end, the same shall be saved.
ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached throughout the entire world, as a testimony to all nations. And then the consummation will occur.
και κηρυχθησεται τουτο το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας εν ολη τη οικουμενη εις μαρτυριον πασιν τοις εθνεσιν και τοτε ηξει το τελος
15 Therefore, when you will have seen the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, may he who reads understand,
οταν ουν ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν δια δανιηλ του προφητου εστως εν τοπω αγιω ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω
16 then those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains.
τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν επι τα ορη
17 And whoever is on the roof, let him not descend to take anything from his house.
ο επι του δωματος μη καταβαινετω αραι τι εκ της οικιας αυτου
18 And whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to take his tunic.
και ο εν τω αγρω μη επιστρεψατω οπισω αραι τα ιματια αυτου
19 So then, woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.
προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος μηδε εν σαββατω
21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until the present, and such as will not be.
εσται γαρ τοτε θλιψις μεγαλη οια ου γεγονεν απ αρχης κοσμου εως του νυν ουδ ου μη γενηται
22 And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened.
και ει μη εκολοβωθησαν αι ημεραι εκειναι ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ δια δε τους εκλεκτους κολοβωθησονται αι ημεραι εκειναι
23 Then if anyone will have said to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘he is there,’ do not be willing to believe it.
τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε μη πιστευσητε
24 For there will arise false Christs and false prophets. And they will produce great signs and wonders, so much so as to lead into error even the elect (if this could be).
εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια μεγαλα και τερατα ωστε πλανησαι ει δυνατον και τους εκλεκτους
25 Behold, I have warned you beforehand.
ιδου προειρηκα υμιν
26 Therefore, if they will have said to you, ‘Behold, he is in the desert,’ do not choose to go out, or, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not be willing to believe it.
εαν ουν ειπωσιν υμιν ιδου εν τη ερημω εστιν μη εξελθητε ιδου εν τοις ταμειοις μη πιστευσητε
27 For just as lightning goes out from the east, and appears even in the west, so shall it be also at the advent of the Son of man.
ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη εξερχεται απο ανατολων και φαινεται εως δυσμων ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
28 Wherever the body shall be, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
οπου γαρ εαν η το πτωμα εκει συναχθησονται οι αετοι
29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
ευθεως δε μετα την θλιψιν των ημερων εκεινων ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης και οι αστερες πεσουνται απο του ουρανου και αι δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
30 And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven. And then all tribes of the earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great power and majesty.
και τοτε φανησεται το σημειον του υιου του ανθρωπου εν τω ουρανω και τοτε κοψονται πασαι αι φυλαι της γης και οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης
31 And he shall send out his Angels with a trumpet and a great voice. And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the heights of the heavens, even to their furthest limits.
και αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου μετα σαλπιγγος φωνης μεγαλης και επισυναξουσιν τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρων ουρανων εως ακρων αυτων
32 So, from the fig tree learn a parable. When its branch has now become tender and the leaves have sprung forth, you know that summer is near.
απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην οταν ηδη ο κλαδος αυτης γενηται απαλος και τα φυλλα εκφυη γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος
33 So also, when you will have seen all these things, know that it is near, even at the threshold.
ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε παντα ταυτα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις
34 Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have been done.
αμην λεγων υμιν ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα ταυτα γενηται
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
36 But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.
περι δε της ημερας εκεινης και της ωρας ουδεις οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι των ουρανων ει μη ο πατηρ μου μονος
37 And just as in the days of Noah, so also will be the advent of the Son of man.
ωσπερ δε αι ημεραι του νωε ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
38 For it will be just as it was in the days before the flood: eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, even until that day when Noah entered into the ark.
ωσπερ γαρ ησαν εν ταις ημεραις ταις προ του κατακλυσμου τρωγοντες και πινοντες γαμουντες και εκγαμιζοντες αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον
39 And they did not realize it, until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the advent of the Son of man be.
και ουκ εγνωσαν εως ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και ηρεν απαντας ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
40 Then two men will be in a field: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
τοτε δυο εσονται εν τω αγρω ο εις παραλαμβανεται και ο εις αφιεται
41 Two women will be grinding at a millstone: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
δυο αληθουσαι εν τω μυλωνι μια παραλαμβανεται και μια αφιεται
42 Therefore, be vigilant. For you do not know at what hour your Lord will return.
γρηγορειτε ουν οτι ουκ οιδατε ποια ωρα ο κυριος υμων ερχεται
43 But know this: if only the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly keep vigil and not permit his house to be broken into.
εκεινο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια φυλακη ο κλεπτης ερχεται εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν ειασεν διορυγηναι την οικιαν αυτου
44 For this reason, you also must be prepared, for you do not know at what hour the Son of man will return.
δια τουτο και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται
45 Consider this: who is a faithful and prudent servant, who has been appointed by his lord over his family, to give them their portion in due time?
τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος δουλος και φρονιμος ον κατεστησεν ο κυριος αυτου επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι αυτοις την τροφην εν καιρω
46 Blessed is that servant, if, when his lord has arrived, he shall find him doing so.
μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως
47 Amen I say to you, he shall appoint him over all of his goods.
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
48 But if that evil servant has said in his heart, ‘My lord has been delayed in returning,’
εαν δε ειπη ο κακος δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ελθειν
49 and so, he begins to strike his fellow servants, and he eats and drinks with the inebriated:
και αρξηται τυπτειν τους συνδουλους εσθιειν δε και πινειν μετα των μεθυοντων
50 then the lord of that servant will arrive on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know.
ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει
51 And he shall separate him, and he shall place his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των υποκριτων θησει εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
