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.
Ary nony niala teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly Jesosy, dia lasa nandeha; ary ny mpianany nanatona Azy hampizaha Azy ny rafitry ny tempoly.
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.”
Fa Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hitanareo va ireo rehetra ireo? Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy havela hisy vato hifanongoa eto ka tsy horavana.
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)
Ary nipetraka teo an-tendrombohitra Oliva Izy, dia nanatona Azy mangingina ny mpianany ka nanao hoe: Lazao aminay izay andro hahatongavan’ izany, ary izay ho famantarana ny fihavianao sy ny fahataperan’ izao tontolo izao. (aiōn g165)
4 And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray.
Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Mitandrema, fandrao hisy hamitaka anareo.
5 For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray.
Fa maro no ho avy amin’ ny anarako hanao hoe: Izaho no Kristy, ka maro no ho voafitany.
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.
Ary handre ady sy filazana ady ianareo; koa mitandrema, aza matahotra; fa tsy maintsy ho tonga izany; nefa tsy mbola tonga ny farany.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.
Fa hisy firenena hitsangana hamely firenena, ary hisy fanjakana hitsangana hamely fanjakana; ary hisy mosary sy horohorontany amin’ ny tany samy hafa.
8 But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.
Fa izany rehetra izany no fiandohan’ ny fahoriana.
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.
Ary dia hatolony ho amin’ ny fahoriana ianareo ka hovonoiny; ary ho halan’ ny firenena rehetra ianareo noho ny anarako.
10 And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia ho tafintohina ny maro, ary hifampiampanga sy hifankahala izy.
11 And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.
Ary hisy mpaminany sandoka maro hitsangana ka hamitaka ny maro.
12 And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.
Ary noho ny haben’ ny tsi-fankatoavan-dalàna dia hihamangatsiaka ny fitiavan’ ny maro.
13 But whoever will have persevered until the end, the same shall be saved.
Fa izay maharitra hatramin’ ny farany no hovonjena.
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.
Ary hotorina amin’ izao tontolo izao ity filazantsaran’ ny fanjakana ity ho vavolombelona amin’ ny firenena rehetra, dia vao ho tonga ny farany.
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,
Koa raha hitanareo mitsangana ao amin’ izay fitoerana masìna ny fahavetavetan’ ny fandravana, izay nampilazaina an’ i Daniela mpaminany (aoka hisaina izay mamaky izany),
16 then those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains.
dia aoka izay olona any Jodia handositra ho any an-tendrombohitra;
17 And whoever is on the roof, let him not descend to take anything from his house.
ary izay ao an-tampon-trano aoka tsy hidina haka ny ao an-tranony;
18 And whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to take his tunic.
ary izay any an-tsaha aoka tsy hiverina haka ny lambany.
19 So then, woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
Ary lozan’ ny bevohoka sy ny mampinono amin’ ireo andro ireo!
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.
Fa mivavaha ianareo mba tsy ho amin’ ny ririnina na ho amin’ ny Sabata no handosiranareo.
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.
Fa amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fahoriana lehibe, izay tsy mbola nisy toa azy hatrizay niandohan’ izao tontolo izao ka mandraka ankehitriny, sady tsy hisy intsony.
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.
Ary raha tsy efa nohafohezina izany andro izany, dia tsy nisy nofo hovonjena; fa noho ny olom-boafidy dia hohafohezina izany andro izany.
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.
Koa raha misy manao aminareo hoe: Indro, y Kristy, na: Indro, ar; aza mino ianareo.
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).
Fa hisy Kristy sandoka sy mpaminany sandoka hitsangana ka haneho famantarana lehibe sy fahagagana, ary raha azo atao, na dia ny olom-boafidy aza dia hofitahiny.
25 Behold, I have warned you beforehand.
Indro, voalazako aminareo rahateo izany.
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.
Ary amin’ izany, raha misy manao aminareo hoe: Indro, any an-efitra Izy, aza mankany ianareo; Indro, ao amin’ ny efi-trano Izy, aza mino.
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.
Fa tahaka ny helatra avy any atsinanana ka hita hatrany andrefana, dia ho tahaka izany ny fihavian’ ny Zanak’ olona.
28 Wherever the body shall be, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
Fa izay itoeran’ ny faty, dia any no hiangonan’ ny voromahery.
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.
Ary raha vao afaka ny fahoriana amin’ ireo andro ireo, ny masoandro dia hohamaizinina, ary ny volana tsy hahazava; ny kintana hiraraka avy any an-danitra, ary ny herin’ ny lanitra hohozongozonina.
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hiseho eo amin’ ny lanitra ny famantarana ny Zanak’ olona, ka dia hitomany ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, ary hahita ny Zanak’ olona avy amin-kery sy voninahitra lehibe eo amin’ ny rahon’ ny lanitra izy.
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.
Ary amin’ ny ampanenoana mafy ny trompetra dia haniraka ny anjeliny Izy, ary hangonin’ ireo ny olom-boafidy avy amin’ ny vazan-tany efatra hatramin’ ny faravodilanitra rehetra.
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.
Ary mianara ny fanoharana ny amin’ ny aviavy: Raha vao manaroka ny rantsany ka mandravina, dia fantatrareo fa efa akaiky ny lohataona.
33 So also, when you will have seen all these things, know that it is near, even at the threshold.
Dia tahaka izany koa ianareo, raha vao hitanareo izany rehetra izany, dia aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa akaiky mby eo am-baravarana Izy.
34 Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have been done.
Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy mba ho lany izao taranaka izao mandra-pahatongan’ izany rehetra izany.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Ny lanitra sy ny tany ho levona, fa ny teniko tsy mba ho levona.
36 But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.
Fa ny amin’ izany andro sy ora izany dia tsy misy mahalala, na dia ny anjelin’ ny lanitra aza, [ary na ny Zanaka aza, ] afa-tsy ny Ray ihany.
37 And just as in the days of Noah, so also will be the advent of the Son of man.
Fa tahaka ny andron’ i Noa, dia ho tahaka izany koa ny fihavian’ ny Zanak’ olona.
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.
Fa tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro fony tsy mbola tonga ny Safo-drano, ka nihinana sy nisotro ny olona ary nampaka-bady sy namoaka ny ampakarina, mandra-pihavin’ ny andro izay nidiran’ i Noa tao amin’ ny sambo-fiara,
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.
ary tsy fantany mandra-pihavin’ ny Safo-drano izay nandringana ny olona rehetra, dia ho tahaka izany ny fihavian’ ny Zanak’ olona.
40 Then two men will be in a field: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
Ary amin’ izany hisy roa lahy any an-tsaha; ny anankiray horaisina, ary ny anankiray havela.
41 Two women will be grinding at a millstone: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.
Ary hisy roa vavy manodina ny fikosoham-bary; ny anankiray horaisina, ary ny anankiray havela.
42 Therefore, be vigilant. For you do not know at what hour your Lord will return.
Koa amin’ izany miambena ianareo; fa tsy fantatrareo izay andro hihavian’ ny Tomponareo.
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.
Nefa aoka ho fantatrareo izao: Raha fantatry ny tompon-trano ny fiambenana amin’ ny alina izay hihavian’ ny mpangalatra, dia ho niambina izy ka tsy namela ny tranony hotamina.
44 For this reason, you also must be prepared, for you do not know at what hour the Son of man will return.
Koa miomana kosa ianareo; fa amin’ izay ora tsy ampoizinareo no hihavian’ ny Zanak’ olona.
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?
Iza moa no mpanompo mahatoky sy manan-tsaina, izay notendren’ ny tompony hifehy ny mpanompony mba hanome azy hanina amin’ ny fotoana?
46 Blessed is that servant, if, when his lord has arrived, he shall find him doing so.
Sambatra izany mpanompo izany, raha avy ny tompony ka hahita azy manao izany.
47 Amen I say to you, he shall appoint him over all of his goods.
Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Hotendreny ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra izy.
48 But if that evil servant has said in his heart, ‘My lord has been delayed in returning,’
Fa raha manao anakampo izany mpanompo ratsy fanahy izany hoe: Maharitra ela ny tompoko,
49 and so, he begins to strike his fellow servants, and he eats and drinks with the inebriated:
ka dia mikapoka ny mpanompo namany izy ary mihinana sy misotro amin’ ny mpimamo,
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.
dia ho avy ny tompon’ izany mpanompo izany amin’ ny andro izay tsy ampoiziny sy amin’ ny ora izay tsy fantany,
51 And he shall separate him, and he shall place his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
dia hotapahiny roa izy ka homeny anjara any amin’ ny mpihatsaravelatsihy; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.
