Matthew 24

1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and His disciples came near to show Him the buildings of the temple,

και εξελθων ο ιησους επορευετο απο του ιερου και προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου επιδειξαι αυτω τας οικοδομας του ιερου

2 and Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly I say to you, there may not be left here a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”

ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ου βλεπετε παντα ταυτα αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον ος ου καταλυθησεται

3 And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?” (aiōn g165)

καθημενου δε αυτου επι του ορους των ελαιων προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται κατ ιδιαν λεγοντες ειπε ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον της σης παρουσιας και της συντελειας του αιωνος (aiōn g165)

4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις βλεπετε μη τις υμας πλανηση

5 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray,

πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες εγω ειμι ο χριστος και πολλους πλανησουσιν

6 and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

μελησετε δε ακουειν πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων ορατε μη θροεισθε δει γαρ παντα γενεσθαι αλλ ουπω εστιν το τελος

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places;

εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν και εσονται λιμοι και λοιμοι και σεισμοι κατα τοπους

8 and all these [are the] beginning of travails;

παντα δε ταυτα αρχη ωδινων

9 then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My Name;

τοτε παραδωσουσιν υμας εις θλιψιν και αποκτενουσιν υμας και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων των εθνων δια το ονομα μου

10 and then will many be stumbled, and they will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

και τοτε σκανδαλισθησονται πολλοι και αλληλους παραδωσουσιν και μισησουσιν αλληλους

11 And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray;

και πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εγερθησονται και πλανησουσιν πολλους

12 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold;

και δια το πληθυνθηναι την ανομιαν ψυγησεται η αγαπη των πολλων

13 but he who endured to the end, he will be saved;

ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται

14 and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.

και κηρυχθησεται τουτο το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας εν ολη τη οικουμενη εις μαρτυριον πασιν τοις εθνεσιν και τοτε ηξει το τελος

15 Whenever, therefore, you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

οταν ουν ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν δια δανιηλ του προφητου εστως εν τοπω αγιω ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω

16 then those in Judea—let them flee to the mountains;

τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν επι τα ορη

17 he on the housetop—do not let him come down to take up anything out of his house;

ο επι του δωματος μη καταβαινετω αραι τα εκ της οικιας αυτου

18 and he in the field—do not let him turn back to take his garments.

και ο εν τω αγρω μη επιστρεψατω οπισω αραι το ιματιον αυτου

19 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις

20 and pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath;

προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος μηδε σαββατω

21 for there will then be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor may be.

εσται γαρ τοτε θλιψις μεγαλη οια ου γεγονεν απ αρχης κοσμου εως του νυν ουδ ου μη γενηται

22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen will those days be shortened.

και ει μη εκολοβωθησαν αι ημεραι εκειναι ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ δια δε τους εκλεκτους κολοβωθησονται αι ημεραι εκειναι

23 Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;

τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε μη πιστευσητε

24 for there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια μεγαλα και τερατα ωστε πλανησαι ει δυνατον και τους εκλεκτους

25 Behold, I told you beforehand.

ιδου προειρηκα υμιν

26 If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness, you may not go forth; Behold, in the inner chambers, you may not believe;

εαν ουν ειπωσιν υμιν ιδου εν τη ερημω εστιν μη εξελθητε ιδου εν τοις ταμειοις μη πιστευσητε

27 for as the lightning comes forth from the east, and appears to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;

ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη εξερχεται απο ανατολων και φαινεται εως δυσμων ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου

28 for wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together.

οπου γαρ εαν η το πτωμα εκει συναχθησονται οι αετοι

29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

ευθεως δε μετα την θλιψιν των ημερων εκεινων ο ηλιος σκοτισθησεται και η σεληνη ου δωσει το φεγγος αυτης και οι αστερες πεσουνται απο του ουρανου και αι δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται

30 and then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the tribes of the earth strike the breast, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven, with power and much glory;

και τοτε φανησεται το σημειον του υιου του ανθρωπου εν τω ουρανω και τοτε κοψονται πασαι αι φυλαι της γης και οψονται τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου μετα δυναμεως και δοξης πολλης

31 and He will send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof.

και αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου μετα σαλπιγγος φωνης μεγαλης και επισυναξουσιν τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρων ουρανων εως ακρων αυτων

32 And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when its branch may have already become tender, and it may put forth the leaves, you know that summer [is] near,

απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην οταν ηδη ο κλαδος αυτης γενηται απαλος και τα φυλλα εκφυη γινωσκεται οτι εγγυς το θερος

33 so also you, when you may see all these, you know that it is near—at the doors.

ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε ταυτα παντα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις

34 Truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all these may come to pass.

αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα ταυτα γενηται

35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσονται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν

36 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except My Father only;

περι δε της ημερας εκεινης και ωρας ουδεις οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι των ουρανων ει μη ο πατηρ μου μονος

37 and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;

ωσπερ δε αι ημεραι του νωε ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου

38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark,

ωσπερ γαρ ησαν εν ταις ημεραις ταις προ του κατακλυσμου τρωγοντες και πινοντες γαμουντες και εκγαμιζοντες αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον

39 and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.

και ουκ εγνωσαν εως ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και ηρεν απαντας ουτως εσται και η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου

40 Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left;

τοτε δυο εσονται εν τω αγρω ο εις παραλαμβανεται και ο εις αφιεται

41 two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.

δυο αληθουσαι εν τω μυλωνι μια παραλαμβανεται και μια αφιεται

42 Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes;

γρηγορειτε ουν οτι ουκ οιδατε ποια ωρα ο κυριος υμων ερχεται

43 and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;

εκεινο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια φυλακη ο κλεπτης ερχεται εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν ειασεν διορυγηναι την οικιαν αυτου

44 because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.

δια τουτο και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται

45 Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος δουλος και φρονιμος ον κατεστησεν ο κυριος αυτου επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι αυτοις την τροφην εν καιρω

46 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;

μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως

47 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his substance.

αμην λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον

48 And if that evil servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

εαν δε ειπη ο κακος δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ελθειν

49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

και αρξηται τυπτειν τους συνδουλους εσθιειν τε και πινειν μετα των μεθυοντων

50 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour of which he does not know,

ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει

51 and will cut him off, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”

και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των υποκριτων θησει εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων

The World is Destroyed by Water
