مَتھِح 24
| اَنَنْتَرَں یِیشُ رْیَدا مَنْدِرادْ بَہِ رْگَچّھَتِ، تَدانِیں شِشْیاسْتَں مَنْدِرَنِرْمّانَں دَرْشَیِتُماگَتاح۔ | 1 |
Leaving the Temple Courts, Jesus was walking away, when his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings.
| تَتو یِیشُسْتانُواچَ، یُویَں کِمیتانِ نَ پَشْیَتھَ؟ یُشْمانَہَں سَتْیَں وَدامِ، ایتَنِّچَیَنَسْیَ پاشانَیکَمَپْیَنْیَپاشانےپَرِ نَ سْتھاسْیَتِ سَرْوّانِ بھُومِساتْ کارِشْیَنْتے۔ | 2 |
‘Do you see all these things?’ was his answer. ‘I tell you, not a single stone will be left here on another, which will not be thrown down,’
| اَنَنْتَرَں تَسْمِنْ جَیتُنَپَرْوَّتوپَرِ سَمُپَوِشْٹے شِشْیاسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَماگَتْیَ گُپْتَں پَپْرَچّھُح، ایتا گھَٹَناح کَدا بھَوِشْیَنْتِ؟ بھَوَتَ آگَمَنَسْیَ یُگانْتَسْیَ چَ کِں لَکْشْمَ؟ تَدَسْمانْ وَدَتُ۔ (aiōn g165) | 3 |
so, while Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came up to him privately and said, ‘Tell us when this will be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the close of the age.’ (aiōn g165)
| تَدانِیں یِیشُسْتانَووچَتْ، اَوَدھَدْوَّں، کوپِ یُشْمانْ نَ بھْرَمَییتْ۔ | 4 |
Jesus replied to them, ‘See that no one leads you astray;
| بَہَوو مَمَ نامَ گرِہْلَنْتَ آگَمِشْیَنْتِ، کھْرِیشْٹوہَمیویتِ واچَں وَدَنْتو بَہُونْ بھْرَمَیِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 5 |
for, many will take my name, and come saying “I am the Christ,” and will lead many astray.
| یُویَنْچَ سَںگْرامَسْیَ رَنَسْیَ چاڈَمْبَرَں شْروشْیَتھَ، اَوَدھَدْوَّں تینَ چَنْچَلا ما بھَوَتَ، ایتانْیَوَشْیَں گھَٹِشْیَنْتے، کِنْتُ تَدا یُگانْتو نَہِ۔ | 6 |
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars; take care not to be alarmed, for such things must occur; but the end is not yet here.
| اَپَرَں دیشَسْیَ وِپَکْشو دیشو راجْیَسْیَ وِپَکْشو راجْیَں بھَوِشْیَتِ، سْتھانے سْتھانے چَ دُرْبھِکْشَں مَہامارِی بھُوکَمْپَشْچَ بھَوِشْیَنْتِ، | 7 |
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
| ایتانِ دُحکھوپَکْرَماح۔ | 8 |
All this, however, will be but the beginning of the birth pangs!
| تَدانِیں لوکا دُحکھَں بھوجَیِتُں یُشْمانْ پَرَکَریشُ سَمَرْپَیِشْیَنْتِ ہَنِشْیَنْتِ چَ، تَتھا مَمَ نامَکارَنادْ یُویَں سَرْوَّدیشِییَمَنُجاناں سَمِیپے گھرِنارْہا بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔ | 9 |
When that time comes, they will give you up to persecution, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
| بَہُشُ وِگھْنَں پْراپْتَوَتْسُ پَرَسْپَرَمْ رِتِییاں کرِتَوَتْسُ چَ ایکوپَرَں پَرَکَریشُ سَمَرْپَیِشْیَتِ۔ | 10 |
And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.
| تَتھا بَہَوو مرِشابھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَ اُپَسْتھایَ بَہُونْ بھْرَمَیِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 11 |
Many false prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;
| دُشْکَرْمَّناں باہُلْیانْچَ بَہُوناں پْریمَ شِیتَلَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 12 |
and, owing to the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
| کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ شیشَں یاوَدْ دھَیرْیَّماشْرَیَتے، سَایوَ پَرِتْرایِشْیَتے۔ | 13 |
Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
| اَپَرَں سَرْوَّدیشِییَلوکانْ پْرَتِماکْشِی بھَوِتُں راجَسْیَ شُبھَسَماچارَح سَرْوَّجَگَتِ پْرَچارِشْیَتے، ایتادرِشِ سَتِ یُگانْتَ اُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ۔ | 14 |
This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a witness to all nations; and then will come the end.
| اَتو یَتْ سَرْوَّناشَکرِدْگھرِنارْہَں وَسْتُ دانِییلْبھَوِشْیَدْوَدِنا پْروکْتَں تَدْ یَدا پُنْیَسْتھانے سْتھاپِتَں دْرَکْشْیَتھَ، (یَح پَٹھَتِ، سَ بُدھْیَتاں) | 15 |
As soon, then, as you see “the Foul Desecration,” mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy place,’ (the reader must consider what this means)
| تَدانِیں یے یِہُودِییَدیشے تِشْٹھَنْتِ، تے پَرْوَّتیشُ پَلایَنْتاں۔ | 16 |
‘then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains;
| یَح کَشْچِدْ گرِہَپرِشْٹھے تِشْٹھَتِ، سَ گرِہاتْ کِمَپِ وَسْتْوانیتُمْ اَدھے ناوَروہیتْ۔ | 17 |
and a man on the housetop must not go down to get the things that are in his house;
| یَشْچَ کْشیتْرے تِشْٹھَتِ، سوپِ وَسْتْرَمانیتُں پَراورِتْیَ نَ یایاتْ۔ | 18 |
nor must one who is on their farm turn back to get his cloak.
| تَدانِیں گَرْبھِنِیسْتَنْیَپایَیِتْرِیناں دُرْگَتِ رْبھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 19 |
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
| اَتو یَشْماکَں پَلایَنَں شِیتَکالے وِشْرامَوارے وا یَنَّ بھَویتْ، تَدَرْتھَں پْرارْتھَیَدھْوَمْ۔ | 20 |
Pray, too, that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
| آ جَگَدارَمْبھادْ ایتَتْکالَپَرْیَّنَنْتَں یادرِشَح کَداپِ نابھَوَتْ نَ چَ بھَوِشْیَتِ تادرِشو مَہاکْلیشَسْتَدانِیمْ اُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ۔ | 21 |
for that will be a time of great distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of the world down to the present time – no, nor ever will again.
| تَسْیَ کْلیشَسْیَ سَمَیو یَدِ ہْسْوو نَ کْرِییتَ، تَرْہِ کَسْیاپِ پْرانِنو رَکْشَنَں بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْنُیاتْ، کِنْتُ مَنونِیتَمَنُجاناں کرِتے سَ کالو ہْسْوِیکَرِشْیَتے۔ | 22 |
Had not those days been limited, not a single soul would escape; but for the sake of God’s people a limit will be put to them.
| اَپَرَنْچَ پَشْیَتَ، کھْرِیشْٹوتْرَ وِدْیَتے، وا تَتْرَ وِدْیَتے، تَدانِیں یَدِی کَشْچِدْ یُشْمانَ اِتِ واکْیَں وَدَتِ، تَتھاپِ تَتْ نَ پْرَتِیتْ۔ | 23 |
At that time, if anyone should say to you “Look! Here is the Christ!” or “Here he is!”, do not believe it;
| یَتو بھاکْتَکھْرِیشْٹا بھاکْتَبھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَشْچَ اُپَسْتھایَ یانِ مَہَنْتِ لَکْشْمانِ چِتْرَکَرْمّانِ چَ پْرَکاشَیِشْیَنْتِ، تَے رْیَدِ سَمْبھَویتْ تَرْہِ مَنونِیتَمانَوا اَپِ بھْرامِشْیَنْتے۔ | 24 |
for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will display great signs and marvels, so that, were it possible, even God’s people would be led astray.
| پَشْیَتَ، گھَٹَناتَح پُورْوَّں یُشْمانْ وارْتّامْ اَوادِشَمْ۔ | 25 |
Remember, I have told you beforehand.
| اَتَح پَشْیَتَ، سَ پْرانْتَرے وِدْیَتَ اِتِ واکْیے کینَچِتْ کَتھِتیپِ بَہِ رْما گَچّھَتَ، وا پَشْیَتَ، سونْتَحپُرے وِدْیَتے، ایتَدْواکْیَ اُکْتیپِ ما پْرَتِیتَ۔ | 26 |
Therefore, if people say to you “He is in the wilderness!”, do not go out there; or “He is in an inner room!”, do not believe it;
| یَتو یَتھا وِدْیُتْ پُورْوَّدِشو نِرْگَتْیَ پَشْچِمَدِشَں یاوَتْ پْرَکاشَتے، تَتھا مانُشَپُتْرَسْیاپْیاگَمَنَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 27 |
for, just as lightning will start from the east and flash across to the west, so will it be with the coming of the Son of Man.
| یَتْرَ شَوَسْتِشْٹھَتِ، تَتْریوَ گرِدھْرا مِلَنْتِ۔ | 28 |
Wherever a dead body lies, there will the vultures flock.
| اَپَرَں تَسْیَ کْلیشَسَمَیَسْیاوْیَوَہِتَپَرَتْرَ سُورْیَّسْیَ تیجو لوپْسْیَتے، چَنْدْرَما جْیوسْناں نَ کَرِشْیَتِ، نَبھَسو نَکْشَتْرانِ پَتِشْیَنْتِ، گَگَنِییا گْرَہاشْچَ وِچَلِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 29 |
Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the heavens, and the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
| تَدانِیمْ آکاشَمَدھْیے مَنُجَسُتَسْیَ لَکْشْمَ دَرْشِشْیَتے، تَتو نِجَپَراکْرَمینَ مَہاتیجَسا چَ میگھارُوڈھَں مَنُجَسُتَں نَبھَساگَچّھَنْتَں وِلوکْیَ پرِتھِوْیاح سَرْوَّوَںشِییا وِلَپِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 30 |
Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heavens; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the heavens, with power and great glory;
| تَدانِیں سَ مَہاشَبْدایَمانَتُورْیّا وادَکانْ نِجَدُوتانْ پْرَہیشْیَتِ، تے وْیومْنَ ایکَسِیماتوپَرَسِیماں یاوَتْ چَتُرْدِشَسْتَسْیَ مَنونِیتَجَنانْ آنِییَ میلَیِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 31 |
and he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his people round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
| اُڈُمْبَرَپادَپَسْیَ درِشْٹانْتَں شِکْشَدھْوَں؛ یَدا تَسْیَ نَوِیناح شاکھا جایَنْتے، پَلَّوادِشْچَ نِرْگَچّھَتِ، تَدا نِداگھَکالَح سَوِدھو بھَوَتِیتِ یُویَں جانِیتھَ؛ | 32 |
‘Learn the lesson taught by the fig tree. As soon as its branches are full of sap, and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
| تَدْوَدْ ایتا گھَٹَنا درِشْٹْوا سَ سَمَیو دْوارَ اُپاسْتھادْ اِتِ جانِیتَ۔ | 33 |
And so may you, as soon as you see all these things, know that he is at your doors.
| یُشْمانَہَں تَتھْیَں وَدامِ، اِدانِینْتَنَجَناناں گَمَناتْ پُورْوَّمیوَ تانِ سَرْوّانِ گھَٹِشْیَنْتے۔ | 34 |
I tell you, even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.
| نَبھومیدِنْیو رْلُپْتَیورَپِ مَمَ واکْ کَداپِ نَ لوپْسْیَتے۔ | 35 |
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
| اَپَرَں مَمَ تاتَں وِنا مانُشَح سْوَرْگَسْتھو دُوتو وا کوپِ تَدِّنَں تَدَّنْڈَنْچَ نَ جْناپَیَتِ۔ | 36 |
But about that day and hour, no one knows – not even the angels of heaven, not even the Son – but only the Father himself.
| اَپَرَں نوہے وِدْیَمانے یادرِشَمَبھَوَتْ تادرِشَں مَنُجَسُتَسْیاگَمَنَکالیپِ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 37 |
For, just as in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
| پھَلَتو جَلاپْلاوَناتْ پُورْوَّں یَدِّنَں یاوَتْ نوہَح پوتَں ناروہَتْ، تاوَتْکالَں یَتھا مَنُشْیا بھوجَنے پانے وِوَہَنے وِواہَنے چَ پْرَورِتّا آسَنْ؛ | 38 |
In those days before the flood they went on eating and drinking, marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark,
| اَپَرَمْ آپْلاوِتویَماگَتْیَ یاوَتْ سَکَلَمَنُجانْ پْلاوَیِتْوا نانَیَتْ، تاوَتْ تے یَتھا نَ وِداماسُح، تَتھا مَنُجَسُتاگَمَنیپِ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 39 |
taking not notice until the flood came and swept them one and all away; and so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
| تَدا کْشیتْرَسْتھِتَیورْدْوَیوریکو دھارِشْیَتے، اَپَرَسْتْیاجِشْیَتے۔ | 40 |
At that time, of two men on a farm one will be taken and one left;
| تَتھا پیشَنْیا پِںشَتْیورُبھَیو رْیوشِتوریکا دھارِشْیَتےپَرا تْیاجِشْیَتے۔ | 41 |
of two women grinding with a hand-mill one will be taken and one left.
| یُشْماکَں پْرَبھُح کَسْمِنْ دَنْڈَ آگَمِشْیَتِ، تَدْ یُشْمابھِ رْناوَگَمْیَتے، تَسْماتْ جاگْرَتَح سَنْتَسْتِشْٹھَتَ۔ | 42 |
Therefore watch; for you cannot be sure on what day your Master is coming.
| کُتْرَ یامے سْتینَ آگَمِشْیَتِیتِ چیدْ گرِہَسْتھو جْناتُمْ اَشَکْشْیَتْ، تَرْہِ جاگَرِتْوا تَں سَنْدھِں کَرْتِّتُمْ اَوارَیِشْیَتْ تَدْ جانِیتَ۔ | 43 |
But this you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time of night the thief was coming, they would have been on the watch, and would not have allowed their house to be broken into.
| یُشْمابھِرَوَدھِییَتاں، یَتو یُشْمابھِ رْیَتْرَ نَ بُدھْیَتے، تَتْرَیوَ دَنْڈے مَنُجَسُتَ آیاسْیَتِ۔ | 44 |
Therefore, you must also prepare, since it is just when you are least expecting him that the Son of Man will come.
| پْرَبھُ رْنِجَپَرِوارانْ یَتھاکالَں بھوجَیِتُں یَں داسَمْ اَدھْیَکْشِیکرِتْیَ سْتھاپَیَتِ، تادرِشو وِشْواسْیو دھِیمانْ داسَح کَح؟ | 45 |
Who, then is that trustworthy, careful servant, who has been placed by their master over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
| پْرَبھُراگَتْیَ یَں داسَں تَتھاچَرَنْتَں وِیکْشَتے، سَایوَ دھَنْیَح۔ | 46 |
Happy will that servant be whom their master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
| یُشْمانَہَں سَتْیَں وَدامِ، سَ تَں نِجَسَرْوَّسْوَسْیادھِپَں کَرِشْیَتِ۔ | 47 |
I tell you that their master will put them in charge of the whole of his property.
| کِنْتُ پْرَبھُراگَنْتُں وِلَمْبَتَ اِتِ مَنَسِ چِنْتَیِتْوا یو دُشْٹو داسو | 48 |
But, should the servant be a bad servant, and say to themselves “My master is a long time in coming,”
| پَرَداسانْ پْرَہَرْتُّں مَتّاناں سَنْگے بھوکْتُں پاتُنْچَ پْرَوَرْتَّتے، | 49 |
and begin to beat their fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,
| سَ داسو یَدا ناپیکْشَتے، یَنْچَ دَنْڈَں نَ جاناتِ، تَتْکالَایوَ تَتْپْرَبھُرُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ۔ | 50 |
that servant’s master will come on a day when they do not expect him, and at an hour of which they are unaware,
| تَدا تَں دَنْڈَیِتْوا یَتْرَ سْتھانے رودَنَں دَنْتَگھَرْشَنَنْچاساتے، تَتْرَ کَپَٹِبھِح ساکَں تَدَّشاں نِرُوپَیِشْیَتِ۔ | 51 |
and will flog the servant severely, and assign them their place among the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
