Matthew 24
1 Jesus left the Temple [courtyard]. As he was walking along, [we] disciples came to him to ask him to note [how beautiful] the Temple buildings [were].
И изишавши Исус иђаше од цркве, и приступише к Њему ученици Његови да Му покажу грађевину црквену.
2 He said to us, “These buildings that you are looking at [RHQ] [are wonderful, but] I want to tell you [something about them. They will soon be completely destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will completely destroy them]}. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {they will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another stone.”
А Исус рече им: Не видите ли све ово? Заиста вам кажем: неће остати овде ни камен на камену који се неће разметнути.
3 [Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
А кад сеђаше на гори Маслинској приступише к Њему ученици насамо говорећи: Кажи нам кад ће то бити? И какав је знак Твог доласка и краја века? (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
И одговарајући Исус рече им: Чувајте се да вас ко не превари.
5 Many [people] will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah’, and they will deceive many [people].
Јер ће многи доћи у име моје говорећи: Ја сам Христос. И многе ће преварити.
6 You will hear about wars [that are close] and wars that are far away, but do not let that trouble you. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that the end [of the world] has come!
Чућете ратове и гласове о ратовима. Гледајте да се не уплашите; јер треба да то све буде, али није још тада крај.
7 [Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Јер ће устати народ на народ и царство на царство; и биће глади и помори, и земља ће се трести по свету.
8 These things will happen first. Then there will be other things that [will happen before I return. What will happen will be like the first pains] of childbirth MET].
А то је све почетак страдања.
9 At that time [people who oppose you] will take you to [the authorities, who] will mistreat you and kill you. You will be hated by [people who live in] all nations [PRS] {[People who live in] all nations [PRS] will hate you} because [you believe in me][MTY].
Тада ће вас предати на муке, и побиће вас, и сви ће народи омрзнути на вас имена мог ради.
10 Also, many [people] will stop believing [in me because of the way they will suffer]. They will betray each other and will hate each other.
И тада ће се многи саблазнити, и друг друга издаће, и омрзнуће друг на друга.
11 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
И изићи ће многи лажни пророци и превариће многе.
12 Because there will be more and more [people] who will disobey [God’s] laws [PRS], many [people] will no longer [MET] love [their fellow believers] [PRS].
И што ће се безакоње умножити, охладнеће љубав многих.
13 But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
Али који претрпи до краја благо њему.
14 Furthermore, the good message about my ruling over people’s lives will be preached in every part of the world, in order that people of all ethnic groups may hear it. Then the end [of the world] will come.”
И проповедиће се ово јеванђеље о царству по свему свету за сведочанство свим народима. И тада ће доћи последак.
15 “[But before the world ends], the disgusting person who will defile [the] holy [Temple and cause people to abandon it will stand in the Temple. Daniel the prophet spoke and wrote] about that [long ago]. May everyone who reads [this] pay attention [to the following warning from me: ]
Кад дакле угледате мрзост опустошења, о којој говори пророк Данило, где стоји на месту светом (који чита да разуме):
16 When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
Тада који буду у Јудеји нека беже у горе;
17 Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
И који буде на крову да не силази узети шта му је у кући;
18 Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
И који буде у пољу да се не врати натраг да узме хаљине своје.
19 I [feel] very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
А тешко труднима и дојилицама у те дане.
20 Pray that you will not have to flee (in the winter/in the rainy season) [when it will be hard to travel]. [People who think that God never allows anyone to do any work on] our day of rest [will not help you as you flee, so] pray also that you will not have to flee on such a day,
Него се молите Богу да не буде бежан ваша у зиму ни у суботу;
21 because people will suffer very severely [when those things happen]. People have never suffered that severely since [God] created the world until now, and no one will ever [suffer like that again].
Јер ће бити невоља велика каква није била од постања света досад нити ће бити;
22 If [God had not decided to] shorten that time [MTY] [when people will suffer so much], everyone [LIT] would die. But [he has decided to] shorten it because [he is concerned] about [the people] whom [he] has chosen.”
И да се они дани не скрате, нико не би остао; али избраних ради скратиће се дани они.
23 “[At that time] people will appear [who will] falsely [say that they are] the Messiah or [that they are] prophets. They will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do), in order to deceive people. They will even try [to see] if [it is] possible to deceive [you people whom God has] chosen. So, at that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look, here [is] the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Over there is the Messiah!’ do not believe it!
Тада ако вам ко каже: Ево овде је Христос или онде, не верујте.
Јер ће изићи лажни христоси и лажни пророци, и показаће знаке велике и чудеса да би преварили, ако буде могуће, и изабране.
25 Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
Ето вам казах унапред.
26 So if someone says to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is in the desolate area!’ do not go there. [Likewise, if someone says to you], ‘Look, he is in a secret room!’ do not believe [that person],
Ако вам дакле кажу: Ево га у пустињи, не излазите; ево га у собама, не верујте.
27 because just like lightning flashes from the east to the west [and people everywhere can] see it [SIM], when [I], the one who came from heaven, return again, [everyone will see me].
Јер као што муња излази од истока и показује се до запада, такав ће бити долазак Сина човечијег.
28 [When I return, it will be as obvious to everyone as the fact that] wherever you see vultures gathering, you know that there will be an animal carcass [MET] there. (OR, Just like the vultures gather together wherever there is an animal carcass, God will punish sinful people wherever they are.)”
Јер где је стрвина онамо ће се и орлови купити.
29 “Immediately after many people have suffered during those days, [the universe will become dark]. The sun will become dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken. (OR, And the spiritual beings in space will be deposed.)
И одмах ће по невољи дана тих сунце помрчати, и месец своју светлост изгубити, и звезде с неба спасти, и силе небеске покренути се.
30 After that, something [will be seen] {[people will observe something]} in the sky that indicates that [I], the one who came from heaven, [am returning to the earth]. Then [unbelieving people from] all ethnic groups of the earth will [mourn because they will be afraid] of [God punishing them]. They will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming on the clouds with power and great glory [as I return to the earth].
И тада ће се показати знак Сина човечијег на небу; и тада ће проплакати сва племена на земљи; и угледаће Сина човечијег где иде на облацима небеским са силом и славом великом.
31 I will send my angels [to the earth] from everywhere in the heavens. [They will be] blowing trumpets loudly. [Then] from throughout the whole earth [DOU] they will gather the people whom I have chosen.”
И послаће анђеле своје с великим гласом трубним; и сабраће избране Његове од четири ветра, од краја до краја небеса.
32 “[Now] I [want you to] learn something [from] this parable about [how] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when the buds [of a fig tree] become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Од смокве научите се причи: кад се већ њене гране помладе и улистају, знате да је близу лето.
33 Similarly, when you see all these things that I [have just described happening], you will know that [the time for me to return] is very close [MET].
Тако и ви кад видите све ово, знајте да је близу код врата.
34 Keep this in mind: All of these events will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Заиста вам кажем: овај нараштај неће проћи док се ово све не збуде.
35 [You can be certain that these] things that I have told [you] about will happen. You can be more certain of that than you can be certain that the earth and sky [LIT] will continue to exist.”
Небо и земља проћи ће, али речи моје неће проћи.
36 “But neither I, nor any other person, nor any angel in heaven, knows either the day or the hour [when the things that I have told you about will happen]. Only [God, my] Father, [knows].
А о дану том и часу нико не зна, ни анђели небески, до Отац мој сам.
37 It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, [the people] did not know that [anything bad would happen] to them. Before the flood waters covered the earth, [the people] were eating and drinking [as usual]. Some men were marrying women and [some parents] were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all [those who were not in the boat]. Similarly, [the unbelieving people will not know] when [I, the one who came from heaven], will return, [and they will not] be [expecting me].
Јер као што је било у време Нојево тако ће бити и долазак Сина човечијег.
Јер као што пред потопом јеђаху и пијаху, жењаху се и удаваху до оног дана кад Ноје уђе у ковчег,
И не осетише док не дође потоп и однесе све; тако ће бити и долазак Сина човечијег.
40 When I [return], I [will not take all people up to heaven. I will take only those who trust in me. For example], two [people] will be in the fields. One of them will be taken {[I] will take one of them} up [to heaven] and the other [person] will be left {and I will leave the other [person]} [here to be punished].
Тада ће бити два на њиви; један ће се узети, а други ће се оставити.
41 [Similarly], two [women] will be at the mill grinding grain. One of them will be taken up [to heaven] and the other will be left.
Две ће млети на жрвњевима; једна ће се узети, а друга ће се оставити.
42 So, because you do not know what day [I], your Lord, will return [to the earth], you need to be ready [for me to return at any time].
Стражите дакле, јер не знате у који ће час доћи Господ ваш.
43 You know that if the owners of a house knew at what time in the night thieves would come, they would be awake and prevent the thieves from breaking into their houses. Similarly, I [will come just like unexpectedly as a thief].
Али ово знајте: кад би знао домаћин у које ће време доћи лупеж, чувао би и не би дао поткопати кућу своју.
44 So you need to be ready [for my return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will return [to the earth] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Зато и ви будите готови; јер у који час не мислите доћи ће Син човечији.
45 “Think about what every faithful and wise servant is like [RHQ]. The house owner appoints one servant to supervise the other servants. He tells him to give them food at the proper times. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Ко је дакле тај верни и мудри слуга ког је поставио господар његов над својим домашњима да им даје храну на оброк?
46 If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
Благо том слузи ког дошавши господар његов нађе да извршује тако.
47 Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
Заиста вам кажем: поставиће га над свим имањем својим.
48 But a wicked servant might say to himself, ‘The owner [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably] will not return soon [and find out what I am doing.’]
Ако ли тај рђави слуга рече у срцу свом: Неће мој господар још задуго доћи;
49 [So he] will begin to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk.
И почне бити своје другаре, и јести и пити с пијаницама;
50 [Then] the house owner will come back at a time when the servant does not expect him [DOU].
Доћи ће господар тог слуге у дан у који се не нада, и у час кад не мисли.
51 He will punish that servant severely [HYP], (OR, cut that servant into two pieces) and he will put him where (the hypocrites/the ones who only pretended to be good) are put. In that place the people cry and grind their teeth [because they suffer very much].”
И расећи ће га напола, и даће му плату као и лицемерима; онде ће бити плач и шкргут зуба.
