Matthew 24
1 And, Jesus coming forth, from the temple, was taking his departure, when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
anantaraṁ yīśu ryadā mandirād bahi rgacchati, tadānīṁ śiṣyāstaṁ mandiranirmmāṇaṁ darśayitumāgatāḥ|
2 But, he, answering, said unto them—Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you—in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.
tato yīśustānuvāca, yūyaṁ kimetāni na paśyatha? yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, etannicayanasya pāṣāṇaikamapyanyapāṣāṇepari na sthāsyati sarvvāṇi bhūmisāt kāriṣyante|
3 And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying—Tell us, when these things shall be, —and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age. (aiōn g165)
anantaraṁ tasmin jaitunaparvvatopari samupaviṣṭe śiṣyāstasya samīpamāgatya guptaṁ papracchuḥ, etā ghaṭanāḥ kadā bhaviṣyanti? bhavata āgamanasya yugāntasya ca kiṁ lakṣma? tadasmān vadatu| (aiōn g165)
4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you;
tadānīṁ yīśustānavocat, avadhadvvaṁ, kopi yuṣmān na bhramayet|
5 For, many, will come upon my name, saying—I, am the Christ, —and will, deceive many.
bahavo mama nāma gṛhlanta āgamiṣyanti, khrīṣṭo'hameveti vācaṁ vadanto bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
6 Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen, —but, not yet, is, the end;
yūyañca saṁgrāmasya raṇasya cāḍambaraṁ śroṣyatha, avadhadvvaṁ tena cañcalā mā bhavata, etānyavaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyante, kintu tadā yugānto nahi|
7 For there will arise—nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, —and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.
aparaṁ deśasya vipakṣo deśo rājyasya vipakṣo rājyaṁ bhaviṣyati, sthāne sthāne ca durbhikṣaṁ mahāmārī bhūkampaśca bhaviṣyanti,
8 But, all these things, are a beginning of birth-pangs.
etāni duḥkhopakramāḥ|
9 Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you, —and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name
tadānīṁ lokā duḥkhaṁ bhojayituṁ yuṣmān parakareṣu samarpayiṣyanti haniṣyanti ca, tathā mama nāmakāraṇād yūyaṁ sarvvadeśīyamanujānāṁ samīpe ghṛṇārhā bhaviṣyatha|
10 And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another;
bahuṣu vighnaṁ prāptavatsu parasparam ṛtīyāṁ kṛtavatsu ca eko'paraṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
11 And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many;
tathā bahavo mṛṣābhaviṣyadvādina upasthāya bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
12 And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold.
duṣkarmmaṇāṁ bāhulyāñca bahūnāṁ prema śītalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
13 But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.
kintu yaḥ kaścit śeṣaṁ yāvad dhairyyamāśrayate, saeva paritrāyiṣyate|
14 And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations, —and, then, will have come, the end.
aparaṁ sarvvadeśīyalokān pratimākṣī bhavituṁ rājasya śubhasamācāraḥ sarvvajagati pracāriṣyate, etādṛśi sati yugānta upasthāsyati|
15 Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, —he that readeth, let him think,
ato yat sarvvanāśakṛdghṛṇārhaṁ vastu dāniyelbhaviṣyadvadinā proktaṁ tad yadā puṇyasthāne sthāpitaṁ drakṣyatha, (yaḥ paṭhati, sa budhyatāṁ)
16 Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;
tadānīṁ ye yihūdīyadeśe tiṣṭhanti, te parvvateṣu palāyantāṁ|
17 And, he that is on the house-top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house;
yaḥ kaścid gṛhapṛṣṭhe tiṣṭhati, sa gṛhāt kimapi vastvānetum adhe nāvarohet|
18 And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle.
yaśca kṣetre tiṣṭhati, sopi vastramānetuṁ parāvṛtya na yāyāt|
19 But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days;
tadānīṁ garbhiṇīstanyapāyayitrīṇāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati|
20 But be praying that your flight, may not happen in winter, nor on sabbath;
ato yaṣmākaṁ palāyanaṁ śītakāle viśrāmavāre vā yanna bhavet, tadarthaṁ prārthayadhvam|
21 For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.
ā jagadārambhād etatkālaparyyanantaṁ yādṛśaḥ kadāpi nābhavat na ca bhaviṣyati tādṛśo mahākleśastadānīm upasthāsyati|
22 And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.
tasya kleśasya samayo yadi hsvo na kriyeta, tarhi kasyāpi prāṇino rakṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknuyāt, kintu manonītamanujānāṁ kṛte sa kālo hsvīkariṣyate|
23 Then, if any, unto you, say—Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;
aparañca paśyata, khrīṣṭo'tra vidyate, vā tatra vidyate, tadānīṁ yadī kaścid yuṣmāna iti vākyaṁ vadati, tathāpi tat na pratīt|
24 For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets, —and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived: —
yato bhāktakhrīṣṭā bhāktabhaviṣyadvādinaśca upasthāya yāni mahanti lakṣmāṇi citrakarmmāṇi ca prakāśayiṣyanti, tai ryadi sambhavet tarhi manonītamānavā api bhrāmiṣyante|
25 Lo! I have foretold you.
paśyata, ghaṭanātaḥ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmān vārttām avādiṣam|
26 If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it.
ataḥ paśyata, sa prāntare vidyata iti vākye kenacit kathitepi bahi rmā gacchata, vā paśyata, sontaḥpure vidyate, etadvākya uktepi mā pratīta|
27 For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man.
yato yathā vidyut pūrvvadiśo nirgatya paścimadiśaṁ yāvat prakāśate, tathā mānuṣaputrasyāpyāgamanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
28 Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures!
yatra śavastiṣṭhati, tatreva gṛdhrā milanti|
29 But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven, —and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken;
aparaṁ tasya kleśasamayasyāvyavahitaparatra sūryyasya tejo lopsyate, candramā jyosnāṁ na kariṣyati, nabhaso nakṣatrāṇi patiṣyanti, gagaṇīyā grahāśca vicaliṣyanti|
30 And, then, will be displayed—The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts—all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man—coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory.
tadānīm ākāśamadhye manujasutasya lakṣma darśiṣyate, tato nijaparākrameṇa mahātejasā ca meghārūḍhaṁ manujasutaṁ nabhasāgacchantaṁ vilokya pṛthivyāḥ sarvvavaṁśīyā vilapiṣyanti|
31 And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen—Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.
tadānīṁ sa mahāśabdāyamānatūryyā vādakān nijadūtān praheṣyati, te vyomna ekasīmāto'parasīmāṁ yāvat caturdiśastasya manonītajanān ānīya melayiṣyanti|
32 Now, from the fig-tree, learn ye, the parable: —When, already, her young branch, becometh tender, and the leaves, may be sprouting, ye observe, that, near, is, the summer:
uḍumbarapādapasya dṛṣṭāntaṁ śikṣadhvaṁ; yadā tasya navīnāḥ śākhā jāyante, pallavādiśca nirgacchati, tadā nidāghakālaḥ savidho bhavatīti yūyaṁ jānītha;
33 Thus, ye also, when ye shall see all these things, observe ye, that, near, he is, at the doors.
tadvad etā ghaṭanā dṛṣṭvā sa samayo dvāra upāsthād iti jānīta|
34 Verily, I say unto you—In nowise, shall this generation, pass away, until all these things, shall happen:
yuṣmānahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi, idānīntanajanānāṁ gamanāt pūrvvameva tāni sarvvāṇi ghaṭiṣyante|
35 The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall, in nowise, pass away.
nabhomedinyo rluptayorapi mama vāk kadāpi na lopsyate|
36 But, concerning that day and hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son, —save the Father only.
aparaṁ mama tātaṁ vinā mānuṣaḥ svargastho dūto vā kopi taddinaṁ taddaṇḍañca na jñāpayati|
37 For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;
aparaṁ nohe vidyamāne yādṛśamabhavat tādṛśaṁ manujasutasyāgamanakālepi bhaviṣyati|
38 For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, —until the day Noah entered into the ark;
phalato jalāplāvanāt pūrvvaṁ yaddinaṁ yāvat nohaḥ potaṁ nārohat, tāvatkālaṁ yathā manuṣyā bhojane pāne vivahane vivāhane ca pravṛttā āsan;
39 And they observed not, until the flood came and took away all together, so, will be, the presence of the Son of Man.
aparam āplāvitoyamāgatya yāvat sakalamanujān plāvayitvā nānayat, tāvat te yathā na vidāmāsuḥ, tathā manujasutāgamanepi bhaviṣyati|
40 Then, shall there be two men in the field, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind:
tadā kṣetrasthitayordvayoreko dhāriṣyate, aparastyājiṣyate|
41 Two women grinding at the mill, —one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind.
tathā peṣaṇyā piṁṣatyorubhayo ryoṣitorekā dhāriṣyate'parā tyājiṣyate|
42 Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, on what manner of day, your Lord is coming.
yuṣmākaṁ prabhuḥ kasmin daṇḍa āgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rnāvagamyate, tasmāt jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata|
43 But there is, one thing, ye know—That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
kutra yāme stena āgamiṣyatīti ced gṛhastho jñātum aśakṣyat, tarhi jāgaritvā taṁ sandhiṁ karttitum avārayiṣyat tad jānīta|
44 Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.
yuṣmābhiravadhīyatāṁ, yato yuṣmābhi ryatra na budhyate, tatraiva daṇḍe manujasuta āyāsyati|
45 Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master hath appointed over his household, to give them food in season?
prabhu rnijaparivārān yathākālaṁ bhojayituṁ yaṁ dāsam adhyakṣīkṛtya sthāpayati, tādṛśo viśvāsyo dhīmān dāsaḥ kaḥ?
46 Happy! that servant, whom his master, when he cometh, shall find so doing!
prabhurāgatya yaṁ dāsaṁ tathācarantaṁ vīkṣate, saeva dhanyaḥ|
47 Verily, I say unto you—Over all his substance, will he appoint him.
yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, sa taṁ nijasarvvasvasyādhipaṁ kariṣyati|
48 But, if that wicked servant should say in his heart—My master, delayeth,
kintu prabhurāgantuṁ vilambata iti manasi cintayitvā yo duṣṭo dāso
49 And begin to be striking his fellow-servants, and eating and drinking with the drunken,
'paradāsān praharttuṁ mattānāṁ saṅge bhoktuṁ pātuñca pravarttate,
50 The master of that servant, will have come, on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not observing, —
sa dāso yadā nāpekṣate, yañca daṇḍaṁ na jānāti, tatkālaeva tatprabhurupasthāsyati|
51 And will cut him asunder; and, his part, with the hypocrites, will appoint: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth!
tadā taṁ daṇḍayitvā yatra sthāne rodanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañcāsāte, tatra kapaṭibhiḥ sākaṁ taddaśāṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
