< Matthew 24 >

1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
και εξελθων ο ιησους απο του ιερου επορευετο και προσηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου επιδειξαι αυτω τας οικοδομας του ιερου
2 But answering, he said to them, "Do you not see all of these things? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις ου βλεπετε ταυτα παντα αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη αφεθη ωδε λιθος επι λιθον ος ου καταλυθησεται
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" (aiōn g165)
καθημενου δε αυτου επι του ορους των ελαιων προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται κατ ιδιαν λεγοντες {VAR1: ειπον } {VAR2: ειπε } ημιν ποτε ταυτα εσται και τι το σημειον της σης παρουσιας και συντελειας του αιωνος (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads 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 will lead many astray.
πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες εγω ειμι ο χριστος και πολλους πλανησουσιν
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
μελλησετε δε ακουειν πολεμους και ακοας πολεμων ορατε μη θροεισθε δει γαρ γενεσθαι αλλ ουπω εστιν το τελος
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in various places.
εγερθησεται γαρ εθνος επι εθνος και βασιλεια επι βασιλειαν και εσονται λιμοι και σεισμοι κατα τοπους
8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
παντα δε ταυτα αρχη ωδινων
9 Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
τοτε παραδωσουσιν υμας εις θλιψιν και αποκτενουσιν υμας και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων των εθνων δια το ονομα μου
10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
και τοτε σκανδαλισθησονται πολλοι και αλληλους παραδωσουσιν και μισησουσιν αλληλους
11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
και πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εγερθησονται και πλανησουσιν πολλους
12 And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
και δια το πληθυνθηναι την ανομιαν ψυγησεται η αγαπη των πολλων
13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
και κηρυχθησεται τουτο το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας εν ολη τη οικουμενη εις μαρτυριον πασιν τοις εθνεσιν και τοτε ηξει το τελος
15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
οταν ουν ιδητε το βδελυγμα της ερημωσεως το ρηθεν δια δανιηλ του προφητου εστος εν τοπω αγιω ο αναγινωσκων νοειτω
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
τοτε οι εν τη ιουδαια φευγετωσαν εις τα ορη
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
ο επι του δωματος μη καταβατω αραι τα εκ της οικιας αυτου
18 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his coat.
και ο εν τω αγρω μη επιστρεψατω οπισω αραι το ιματιον αυτου
19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.
ουαι δε ταις εν γαστρι εχουσαις και ταις θηλαζουσαις εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
προσευχεσθε δε ινα μη γενηται η φυγη υμων χειμωνος μηδε σαββατω
21 for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
εσται γαρ τοτε θλιψις μεγαλη οια ου γεγονεν απ αρχης κοσμου εως του νυν ουδ ου μη γενηται
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will 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 tells you, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.
τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε μη πιστευσητε
24 For there will arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
εγερθησονται γαρ ψευδοχριστοι και ψευδοπροφηται και δωσουσιν σημεια μεγαλα και τερατα ωστε {VAR1: πλανασθαι } {VAR2: πλανησαι } ει δυνατον και τους εκλεκτους
25 "See, I have told you beforehand.
ιδου προειρηκα υμιν
26 If therefore they tell you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.
εαν ουν ειπωσιν υμιν ιδου εν τη ερημω εστιν μη εξελθητε ιδου εν τοις ταμειοις μη πιστευσητε
27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη εξερχεται απο ανατολων και φαινεται εως δυσμων ουτως εσται η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
28 Wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.
οπου εαν η το πτωμα εκει συναχθησονται οι αετοι
29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, 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 the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
και τοτε φανησεται το σημειον του υιου του ανθρωπου εν 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 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
και αποστελει τους αγγελους αυτου μετα σαλπιγγος μεγαλης και επισυναξουσιν τους εκλεκτους αυτου εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων απ ακρων ουρανων εως [των] ακρων αυτων
32 "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
απο δε της συκης μαθετε την παραβολην οταν ηδη ο κλαδος αυτης γενηται απαλος και τα φυλλα εκφυη γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς το θερος
33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
ουτως και υμεις οταν ιδητε παντα ταυτα γινωσκετε οτι εγγυς εστιν επι θυραις
34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως {VAR1: [αν] } {VAR2: αν } παντα ταυτα γενηται
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
ο ουρανος και η γη παρελευσεται οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελθωσιν
36 But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.
περι δε της ημερας εκεινης και ωρας ουδεις οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι των ουρανων ουδε ο υιος ει μη ο πατηρ μονος
37 "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
ωσπερ γαρ αι ημεραι του νωε ουτως εσται η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the box-shaped ship,
ως γαρ ησαν εν ταις ημεραις [εκειναις] ταις προ του κατακλυσμου τρωγοντες και πινοντες γαμουντες και γαμιζοντες αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον
39 and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
και ουκ εγνωσαν εως ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και ηρεν απαντας ουτως εσται {VAR2: [και] } η παρουσια του υιου του ανθρωπου
40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
τοτε {VAR1: εσονται δυο } {VAR2: δυο εσονται } εν τω αγρω εις παραλαμβανεται και εις αφιεται
41 Two will be grinding grain with a mill; one will be taken and the other left.
δυο αληθουσαι εν τω μυλω μια παραλαμβανεται και μια αφιεται
42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
γρηγορειτε ουν οτι ουκ οιδατε ποια ημερα ο κυριος υμων ερχεται
43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
εκεινο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια φυλακη ο κλεπτης ερχεται εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν ειασεν διορυχθηναι την οικιαν αυτου
44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
δια τουτο και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ου δοκειτε ωρα ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται
45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος δουλος και φρονιμος ον κατεστησεν ο κυριος επι της οικετειας αυτου του δουναι αυτοις την τροφην εν καιρω
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ουτως ποιουντα
47 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'
εαν δε ειπη ο κακος δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει μου ο κυριος
49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
και αρξηται τυπτειν τους συνδουλους αυτου εσθιη δε και πινη μετα των μεθυοντων
50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour when he does not know it,
ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει
51 and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των υποκριτων θησει εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
