< Matthew 24 >

1 And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَلَمَّا غَادَرَهُ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، وَلَفَتُوا نَظَرَهُ إِلَى مَبَانِي الْهَيْكَلِ.١
2 And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الْمَبَانِيَ كُلَّهَا؟ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يُتْرَكَ هُنَا حَجَرٌ فَوْقَ حَجَرٍ إِلّا وَيُهْدَمُ!»٢
3 And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age? (aiōn g165)
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)٣
4 And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.
فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «انْتَبِهُوا! لَا يُضَلِّلْكُمْ أَحَدٌ!٤
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
فَإِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ سَيَأْتُونَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ، فَيُضَلِّلُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.٥
6 But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.
وَسَوْفَ تَسْمَعُونَ بِحُرُوبٍ وَأَخْبَارِ حُرُوبٍ. فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَرْتَعِبُوا! فَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَتِ النِّهَايَةُ بَعْدُ.٦
7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
فَسَوْفَ تَنْقَلِبُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَمْلَكَةٌ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ، وَتَحْدُثُ مَجَاعَاتٌ وَزَلازِلُ فِي عِدَّةِ أَمَاكِنَ.٧
8 But all these [are the] beginning of throes.
وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا لَيْسَتْ إِلّا أَوَّلَ الآلَامِ.٨
9 Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يُسَلِّمُكُمُ النَّاسُ إِلَى الْعَذَابِ، وَيَقْتُلُونَكُمْ، وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي؛٩
10 And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
فَيَرْتَدُّ كَثِيرُونَ وَيُسَلِّمُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَيُبْغِضُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً،١٠
11 and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
وَيَظْهَرُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الدَّجَّالِينَ وَيُضَلِّلُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.١١
12 and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
وَإِذْ يَعُمُّ الإِثْمُ، تَبْرُدُ الْمَحَبَّةُ لَدَى الْكَثِيرِينَ.١٢
13 but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ، فَهُوَ يَنْجُو.١٣
14 And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
فَسَوْفَ يُنَادَى بِبِشَارَةِ الْمَلَكُوتِ هَذِهِ فِي الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ، شَهَادَةً لِي لَدَى الأُمَمِ جَمِيعاً. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْتِي النِّهَايَةُ.١٤
15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand, )
فَعِنْدَمَا تَرَوْنَ رَجَاسَةَ الْخَرَابِ، الَّتِي قِيلَ عَنْهَا بِلِسَانِ دَانِيالَ النَّبِيِّ، قَائِمَةً فِي الْمَكَانِ الْمُقَدَّسِ، لِيَفْهَمِ الْقَارِئُ!١٥
16 then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
عِنْدَئِذٍ لِيَهْرُبِ الَّذِينَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ؛١٦
17 let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى السَّطْحِ، فَلا يَنْزِلْ لِيَأْخُذَ مَا فِي بَيْتِهِ؛١٧
18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَلا يَرْجِعْ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَوْبَهُ!١٨
19 But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
وَالْوَيْلُ لِلْحَبَالَى وَالْمُرْضِعَاتِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ!١٩
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
فَصَلُّوا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ هَرَبُكُمْ فِي شِتَاءٍ أَوْ فِي سَبْتٍ،٢٠
21 for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;
فَسَوْفَ تَحْدُثُ عِنْدَئِذٍ ضِيقَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لَمْ يَحْدُثْ مِثْلُهَا مُنْذُ بَدْءِ الْعَالَمِ إِلَى الآنَ، وَلَنْ يَحْدُثَ.٢١
22 and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.
وَلَوْلا أَنَّ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ سَتُخْتَصَرُ، لَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ يَنْجُو. وَلَكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ سَتُخْتَصَرُ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامُ.٢٢
23 Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.
فَإِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَئِذٍ: هَا إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُنَا، أَوْ هُنَاكَ، فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا!٢٣
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
فَسَوْفَ يَبْرُزُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مَسِيحٍ دَجَّالٍ وَنَبِيٍّ دَجَّالٍ، وَيُقَدِّمُونَ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً وَأَعَاجِيبَ، لِيُضَلِّلُوا حَتَّى الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لَوِ اسْتَطَاعُوا.٢٤
25 Behold, I have told you beforehand.
هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالأَمْرِ قَبْلَ حُدُوثِهِ.٢٥
26 If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it].
فَإِذَا قَالَ لَكُمُ النَّاسُ: هَا هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ! فَلا تَخْرُجُوا إِلَيْهَا؛ أَوْ: هَا هُوَ فِي الْغُرَفِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ! فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا.٢٦
27 For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْبَرْقَ يُومِضُ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ فَيُضِيءُ فِي الْغَرْبِ، هَكَذَا يَكُونُ رُجُوعُ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ.٢٧
28 [For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
فَحَيْثُ تُوْجَدُ الْجِيفَةُ، تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ!٢٨
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
وَحَالاً بَعْدَ الضِّيقَةِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَيَحْجُبُ الْقَمَرُ ضَوْءَهُ، وَتَتَهَاوَى النُّجُومُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أَجْرَامُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.٢٩
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
وَعِنْدَئِذٍ تَظْهَرُ آيَةُ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَتَنْتَحِبُ قَبَائِلُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا، وَيَرَوْنَ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ آتِياً عَلَى سُحُبِ السَّمَاءِ بِقُدْرَةٍ وَمَجْدٍ عَظِيمٍ.٣٠
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.
وَيُرْسِلُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِصَوْتِ بُوقٍ عَظِيمٍ لِيَجْمَعُوا مُخْتَارِيهِ مِنَ الْجِهَاتِ الأَرْبَعِ، مِنْ أَقَاصِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا.٣١
32 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
وَتَعَلَّمُوا هَذَا الْمَثَلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ: عِنْدَمَا تَلِينُ أَغْصَانُهَا، وَتُطْلِعُ وَرَقاً، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ الصَّيْفَ قَرِيبٌ.٣٢
33 Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
هَكَذَا أَيْضاً حِينَ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ جَمِيعَهَا تَحْدُثُ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ بَلْ عَلَى الأَبْوَابِ!٣٣
34 Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَزُولُ هَذَا الْجِيلُ أَبَداً، حَتَّى تَحْدُثَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا.٣٤
35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ تَزُولانِ؛ وَلكِنَّ كَلامِي لَا يَزُولُ أَبَداً.٣٥
36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.
أَمَّا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ وَتِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ، فَلا يَعْرِفُهُمَا أَحَدٌ، وَلا مَلائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، إِلّا الآبُ وَحْدَهُ.٣٦
37 But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
وَكَمَا كَانَتِ الْحَالُ فِي زَمَنِ نُوحٍ، كَذَلِكَ سَتَكُونُ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ:٣٧
38 For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,
فَقَدْ كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي الأَيَّامِ السَّابِقَةِ لِلطُّوفَانِ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجُونَ، حَتَّى فَاجَأَهُمُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ نُوحٌ السَّفِينَةَ،٣٨
39 and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
وَنَزَلَ الطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ لاهُونَ فَأَخَذَ الْجَمِيعَ. هَكَذَا سَتَكُونُ الْحَالُ عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ:٣٩
40 Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَكُونُ رَجُلانِ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَيُؤْخَذُ أَحَدُهُمَا وَيُتْرَكُ الآخَرُ،٤٠
41 two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
وَامْرَأَتَانِ تَطْحَنَانِ عَلَى الرَّحَى، فَتُؤْخَذُ إِحْدَاهُمَا، وَتُتْرَكُ الأُخْرَى.٤١
42 Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.
فَاسْهَرُوا إِذَنْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ فِي أَيَّةِ سَاعَةٍ يَرْجِعُ رَبُّكُمْ.٤٢
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].
وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَوْ عَرَفَ رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ فِي أَيِّ رُبْعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُفَاجِئُهُ اللِّصُّ، لَظَلَّ سَاهِراً وَلَمْ يَدَعْ بَيْتَهُ يُنْقَبُ.٤٣
44 Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.
فَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى اسْتِعْدَادٍ، لأَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ سَيَرْجِعُ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَا تَتَوَقَّعُونَهَا!٤٤
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?
فَمَنْ هُوَ إِذَنْ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ الأَمِينُ وَالْحَكِيمُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدُهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِيُقَدِّمَ لَهُمُ الطَّعَامَ فِي أَوَانِهِ؟٤٥
46 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.
طُوبَى لِذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي سَيِّدُهُ فَيَجِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلِهِ.٤٦
47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.
الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ سَيُقِيمُهُ عَلَى مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ كُلِّهَا.٤٧
48 But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
وَلَكِنْ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ الشِّرِّيرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: سَيَتَأَخَّرُ سَيِّدِي فِي رُجُوعِهِ!٤٨
49 and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;
وَبَدَأَ يَضْرِبُ زُمَلاءَهُ الْعَبِيدَ وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ مَعَ السِّكِّيرِينَ،٤٩
50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,
فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي يَوْمٍ لَا يَتَوَقَّعُهُ، وَسَاعَةٍ لَا يَعْرِفُهَا،٥٠
51 and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
فَيُمَزِّقُهُ وَيَجْعَلُ نَصِيبَهُ مَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ!٥١
