مَتَّى 24

١ 1 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَلَمَّا غَادَرَهُ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، وَلَفَتُوا نَظَرَهُ إِلَى مَبَانِي الْهَيْكَلِ.

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الْمَبَانِيَ كُلَّهَا؟ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يُتْرَكَ هُنَا حَجَرٌ فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ إِلّا وَيُهْدَمُ!»

And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

٣ 3 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ جَالِساً عَلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ، تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ التَّلامِيذُ عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَخْبِرْنَا مَتَى يَحْدُثُ هَذَا. وَمَا هِيَ عَلامَةُ رُجُوعِكَ وَانْتِهَاءِ الزَّمَانِ؟» (aiōn g165)

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165)

٤ 4 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «انْتَبِهُوا! لَا يُضَلِّلْكُمْ أَحَدٌ!

And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ، فَيُضَلِّلُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

٦ 6 وَسَوْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ بِحُرُوبٍ وَأَخْبَارِ حُرُوبٍ. فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَرْتَعِبُوا! فَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَتِ النِّهَايَةُ بَعْدُ.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

٧ 7 فَسَوْفَ تَنْقَلِبُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ، وَتَحْدُثُ مَجَاعَاتٌ وَزَلازِلُ فِي عِدَّةِ أَمَاكِنَ.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا لَيْسَتْ إِلّا أَوَّلَ الآلَامِ.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

٩ 9 عِنْدَئِذٍ يُسَلِّمُكُمُ النَّاسُ إِلَى الْعَذَابِ، وَيَقْتُلُونَكُمْ، وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي؛

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.

١٠ 10 فَيَرْتَدُّ كَثِيرُونَ وَيُسَلِّمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَيُبْغِضُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً،

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

١١ 11 وَيَظْهَرُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الدَّجَّالِينَ وَيُضَلِّلُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

١٢ 12 وَإِذْ يَعُمُّ الإِثْمُ، تَبْرُدُ الْمَحَبَّةُ لَدَى الْكَثِيرِينَ.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall become cold.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ، فَهُوَ يَنْجُو.

But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.

١٤ 14 فَسَوْفَ يُنَادَى بِبِشَارَةِ الْمَلَكُوتِ هَذِهِ فِي الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ، شَهَادَةً لِي لَدَى الأُمَمِ جَمِيعاً. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْتِي النِّهَايَةُ.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.

١٥ 15 فَعِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ رَجَاسَةَ الْخَرَابِ، الَّتِي قِيلَ عَنْهَا بِلِسَانِ دَانِيالَ النَّبِيِّ، قَائِمَةً فِي الْمَكَانِ الْمُقَدَّسِ، لِيَفْهَمِ الْقَارِئُ!

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand: )

١٦ 16 عِنْدَئِذٍ لِيَهْرُبِ الَّذِينَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ؛

Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains:

١٧ 17 وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى السَّطْحِ، فَلا يَنْزِلْ لِيَأْخُذَ مَا فِي بَيْتِهِ؛

Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

١٨ 18 وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَلا يَرْجِعْ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَهُ!

Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.

١٩ 19 وَالْوَيْلُ لِلْحَبَالَى وَالْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ!

And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days!

٢٠ 20 فَصَلُّوا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ هَرَبُكُمْ فِي شِتَاءٍ أَوْ فِي سَبْتٍ،

But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath:

٢١ 21 فَسَوْفَ تَحْدُثُ عِنْدَئِذٍ ضِيقَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لَمْ يَحْدُثْ مِثْلُهَا مُنْذُ بَدْءِ الْعَالَمِ إِلَى الآنَ، وَلَنْ يَحْدُثَ.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

٢٢ 22 وَلَوْلا أَنَّ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ سَتُخْتَصَرُ، لَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ يَنْجُو. وَلَكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ سَتُخْتَصَرُ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامُ.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

٢٣ 23 فَإِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَئِذٍ: هَا إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُنَا، أَوْ هُنَاكَ، فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا!

Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

٢٤ 24 فَسَوْفَ يَبْرُزُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مَسِيحٍ دَجَّالٍ وَنَبِيٍّ دَجَّالٍ، وَيُقَدِّمُونَ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً وَأَعَاجِيبَ، لِيُضَلِّلُوا حَتَّى الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لَوِ اسْتَطَاعُوا.

For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.

٢٥ 25 هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالأَمْرِ قَبْلَ حُدُوثِهِ.

Behold, I have told you before.

٢٦ 26 فَإِذَا قَالَ لَكُمُ النَّاسُ: هَا هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ! فَلا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَيْهَا؛ أَوْ: هَا هُوَ فِي الْغُرَفِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ! فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا.

Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

٢٧ 27 فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْبَرْقَ يُومِضُ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ فَيُضِيءُ فِي الْغَرْبِ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ رُجُوعُ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

٢٨ 28 فَحَيْثُ تُوْجَدُ الْجِيفَةُ، تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ!

For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

٢٩ 29 وَحَالاً بَعْدَ الضِّيقَةِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَيَحْجُبُ الْقَمَرُ ضَوْءَهُ، وَتَتَهَاوَى النُّجُومُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أَجْرَامُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

٣٠ 30 وَعِنْدَئِذٍ تَظْهَرُ آيَةُ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَتَنْتَحِبُ قَبَائِلُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا، وَيَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِياً عَلَى سُحُبِ السَّمَاءِ بِقُدْرَةٍ وَمَجْدٍ عَظِيمٍ.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

٣١ 31 وَيُرْسِلُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِصَوْتِ بُوقٍ عَظِيمٍ لِيَجْمَعُوا مُخْتَارِيهِ مِنَ الْجِهَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ، مِنْ أَقَاصِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

٣٢ 32 وَتَعَلَّمُوا هَذَا الْمَثَلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ: عِنْدَمَا تَلِينُ أَغْصَانُهَا، وَتُطْلِعُ وَرَقاً، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ الصَّيْفَ قَرِيبٌ.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

٣٣ 33 هَكَذَا أَيْضاً حِينَ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ جَمِيعَهَا تَحْدُثُ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ بَلْ عَلَى الأَبْوَابِ!

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

٣٤ 34 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَزُولُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ أَبَداً، حَتَّى تَحْدُثَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا.

Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled.

٣٥ 35 إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ تَزُولانِ؛ وَلكِنَّ كَلامِي لَا يَزُولُ أَبَداً.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

٣٦ 36 أَمَّا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ وَتِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ، فَلا يَعْرِفُهُمَا أَحَدٌ، وَلا مَلائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، إِلّا الآبُ وَحْدَهُ.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

٣٧ 37 وَكَمَا كَانَتِ الْحَالُ فِي زَمَنِ نُوحٍ، كَذَلِكَ سَتَكُونُ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ:

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

٣٨ 38 فَقَدْ كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي الأَيَّامِ السَّابِقَةِ لِلطُّوفَانِ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجُونَ، حَتَّى فَاجَأَهُمُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ نُوحٌ السَّفِينَةَ،

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

٣٩ 39 وَنَزَلَ الطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ لاهُونَ فَأَخَذَ الْجَمِيعَ. هَكَذَا سَتَكُونُ الْحَالُ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ:

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will be the coming of the Son of man.

٤٠ 40 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَكُونُ رَجُلانِ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَيُؤْخَذُ أَحَدُهُمَا وَيُتْرَكُ الآخَرُ،

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

٤١ 41 وَامْرَأَتَانِ تَطْحَنَانِ عَلَى الرَّحَى، فَتُؤْخَذُ إِحْدَاهُمَا، وَتُتْرَكُ الأُخْرَى.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

٤٢ 42 فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ فِي أَيَّةِ سَاعَةٍ يَرْجِعُ رَبُّكُمْ.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.

٤٣ 43 وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَوْ عَرَفَ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ فِي أَيِّ رُبْعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُفَاجِئُهُ اللِّصُّ، لَظَلَّ سَاهِراً وَلَمْ يَدَعْ بَيْتَهُ يُنْقَبُ.

But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

٤٤ 44 فَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى اسْتِعْدَادٍ، لأَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَيَرْجِعُ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَا تَتَوَقَّعُونَهَا!

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

٤٥ 45 فَمَنْ هُوَ إِذَنْ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ الأَمِينُ وَالْحَكِيمُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدُهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقَدِّمَ لَهُمُ الطَّعَامَ فِي أَوَانِهِ؟

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

٤٦ 46 طُوبَى لِذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي سَيِّدُهُ فَيَجِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلِهِ.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

٤٧ 47 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ سَيُقِيمُهُ عَلَى مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ كُلِّهَا.

Verily I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

٤٨ 48 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ الشِّرِّيرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: سَيَتَأَخَّرُ سَيِّدِي فِي رُجُوعِهِ!

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

٤٩ 49 وَبَدَأَ يَضْرِبُ زُمَلاءَهُ الْعَبِيدَ وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ مَعَ السِّكِّيرِينَ،

And shall begin to beat his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

٥٠ 50 فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي يَوْمٍ لَا يَتَوَقَّعُهُ، وَسَاعَةٍ لَا يَعْرِفُهَا،

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

٥١ 51 فَيُمَزِّقُهُ وَيَجْعَلُ نَصِيبَهُ مَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ!

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
