Matthew 24
1 Jesus left the Temple [courtyard]. As he was walking along, [we] disciples came to him to ask him to note [how beautiful] the Temple buildings [were].
İsa tapınaktan çıkıp giderken, öğrencileri, tapınağın binalarını O'na göstermek için yanına geldiler.
2 He said to us, “These buildings that you are looking at [RHQ] [are wonderful, but] I want to tell you [something about them. They will soon be completely destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will completely destroy them]}. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {they will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another stone.”
İsa onlara, “Bütün bunları görüyor musunuz?” dedi. “Size doğrusunu söyleyeyim, burada taş üstünde taş kalmayacak, hepsi yıkılacak!”
3 [Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
İsa, Zeytin Dağı'nda otururken öğrencileri yalnız olarak yanına geldiler. “Söyle bize” dediler, “Bu dediklerin ne zaman olacak, senin gelişini ve çağın bitimini gösteren belirti ne olacak?” (aiōn g165)
4 Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
İsa onlara şu karşılığı verdi: “Sakın kimse sizi saptırmasın!
5 Many [people] will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah’, and they will deceive many [people].
Birçokları, ‘Mesih benim’ diyerek benim adımla gelip birçok kişiyi aldatacaklar.
6 You will hear about wars [that are close] and wars that are far away, but do not let that trouble you. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that the end [of the world] has come!
Savaş gürültüleri, savaş haberleri duyacaksınız. Sakın korkmayın! Bunların olması gerek, ama bu daha son demek değildir.
7 [Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Ulus ulusa, devlet devlete savaş açacak; yer yer kıtlıklar, depremler olacak.
8 These things will happen first. Then there will be other things that [will happen before I return. What will happen will be like the first pains] of childbirth MET].
Bütün bunlar, doğum sancılarının başlangıcıdır.
9 At that time [people who oppose you] will take you to [the authorities, who] will mistreat you and kill you. You will be hated by [people who live in] all nations [PRS] {[People who live in] all nations [PRS] will hate you} because [you believe in me][MTY].
“O zaman sizi sıkıntıya sokacak, öldürecekler. Benim adımdan ötürü bütün uluslar sizden nefret edecek.
10 Also, many [people] will stop believing [in me because of the way they will suffer]. They will betray each other and will hate each other.
O zaman birçok kişi imandan sapacak, birbirlerini ele verecek ve birbirlerinden nefret edecekler.
11 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
Birçok sahte peygamber türeyecek ve bunlar birçok kişiyi saptıracak.
12 Because there will be more and more [people] who will disobey [God’s] laws [PRS], many [people] will no longer [MET] love [their fellow believers] [PRS].
Kötülüklerin çoğalmasından ötürü birçoklarının sevgisi soğuyacak.
13 But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
Ama sonuna kadar dayanan kurtulacaktır.
14 Furthermore, the good message about my ruling over people’s lives will be preached in every part of the world, in order that people of all ethnic groups may hear it. Then the end [of the world] will come.”
Göksel egemenliğin bu Müjdesi bütün uluslara tanıklık olmak üzere dünyanın her yerinde duyurulacak. İşte o zaman son gelecektir.
15 “[But before the world ends], the disgusting person who will defile [the] holy [Temple and cause people to abandon it will stand in the Temple. Daniel the prophet spoke and wrote] about that [long ago]. May everyone who reads [this] pay attention [to the following warning from me: ]
“Peygamber Daniel'in sözünü ettiği yıkıcı iğrenç şeyin kutsal yerde dikildiğini gördüğünüz zaman –okuyan anlasın– Yahudiye'de bulunanlar dağlara kaçsın.
16 When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
17 Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
Damda olan, evindeki eşyalarını almak için aşağı inmesin.
18 Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
Tarlada olan, abasını almak için geri dönmesin.
19 I [feel] very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
O günlerde gebe olan, çocuk emziren kadınların vay haline!
20 Pray that you will not have to flee (in the winter/in the rainy season) [when it will be hard to travel]. [People who think that God never allows anyone to do any work on] our day of rest [will not help you as you flee, so] pray also that you will not have to flee on such a day,
Dua edin ki, kaçışınız kışa ya da Şabat Günü'ne rastlamasın.
21 because people will suffer very severely [when those things happen]. People have never suffered that severely since [God] created the world until now, and no one will ever [suffer like that again].
Çünkü o günlerde öyle korkunç bir sıkıntı olacak ki, dünyanın başlangıcından bu yana böylesi olmamış, bundan sonra da olmayacaktır.
22 If [God had not decided to] shorten that time [MTY] [when people will suffer so much], everyone [LIT] would die. But [he has decided to] shorten it because [he is concerned] about [the people] whom [he] has chosen.”
O günler kısaltılmamış olsaydı, hiç kimse kurtulamazdı. Ama seçilmiş olanlar uğruna o günler kısaltılacak.
23 “[At that time] people will appear [who will] falsely [say that they are] the Messiah or [that they are] prophets. They will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do), in order to deceive people. They will even try [to see] if [it is] possible to deceive [you people whom God has] chosen. So, at that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look, here [is] the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Over there is the Messiah!’ do not believe it!
Eğer o zaman biri size, ‘İşte Mesih burada’, ya da ‘İşte şurada’ derse, inanmayın.
Çünkü sahte mesihler, sahte peygamberler türeyecek; bunlar büyük belirtiler ve harikalar yapacaklar. Öyle ki, ellerinden gelse, seçilmiş olanları bile saptıracaklar.
25 Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
İşte size önceden söylüyorum.
26 So if someone says to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is in the desolate area!’ do not go there. [Likewise, if someone says to you], ‘Look, he is in a secret room!’ do not believe [that person],
“Bunun için size, ‘İşte Mesih çölde’ derlerse gitmeyin. ‘Bakın, iç odalarda’ derlerse inanmayın.
27 because just like lightning flashes from the east to the west [and people everywhere can] see it [SIM], when [I], the one who came from heaven, return again, [everyone will see me].
Çünkü İnsanoğlu'nun gelişi, doğuda çakıp batıya kadar her taraftan görülen şimşek gibi olacaktır.
28 [When I return, it will be as obvious to everyone as the fact that] wherever you see vultures gathering, you know that there will be an animal carcass [MET] there. (OR, Just like the vultures gather together wherever there is an animal carcass, God will punish sinful people wherever they are.)”
“Leş neredeyse, akbabalar oraya üşüşecek.
29 “Immediately after many people have suffered during those days, [the universe will become dark]. The sun will become dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken. (OR, And the spiritual beings in space will be deposed.)
“O günlerin sıkıntısından hemen sonra, ‘Güneş kararacak, Ay ışık vermez olacak, Yıldızlar gökten düşecek, Göksel güçler sarsılacak.’
30 After that, something [will be seen] {[people will observe something]} in the sky that indicates that [I], the one who came from heaven, [am returning to the earth]. Then [unbelieving people from] all ethnic groups of the earth will [mourn because they will be afraid] of [God punishing them]. They will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming on the clouds with power and great glory [as I return to the earth].
“O zaman İnsanoğlu'nun belirtisi gökte görünecek. Yeryüzündeki bütün halklar ağlayıp dövünecek, İnsanoğlu'nun gökteki bulutlar üzerinde büyük güç ve görkemle geldiğini görecekler.
31 I will send my angels [to the earth] from everywhere in the heavens. [They will be] blowing trumpets loudly. [Then] from throughout the whole earth [DOU] they will gather the people whom I have chosen.”
Kendisi güçlü bir borazan sesiyle meleklerini gönderecek. Melekler O'nun seçtiklerini göğün bir ucundan öbür ucuna dek, dünyanın dört bucağından toplayacaklar.
32 “[Now] I [want you to] learn something [from] this parable about [how] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when the buds [of a fig tree] become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
“İncir ağacından ders alın! Dalları filizlenip yaprakları sürünce, yaz mevsiminin yakın olduğunu anlarsınız.
33 Similarly, when you see all these things that I [have just described happening], you will know that [the time for me to return] is very close [MET].
Aynı şekilde, bütün bunların gerçekleştiğini gördüğünüzde bilin ki, İnsanoğlu yakındır, kapıdadır.
34 Keep this in mind: All of these events will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Size doğrusunu söyleyeyim, bütün bunlar olmadan bu kuşak ortadan kalkmayacak.
35 [You can be certain that these] things that I have told [you] about will happen. You can be more certain of that than you can be certain that the earth and sky [LIT] will continue to exist.”
Yer ve gök ortadan kalkacak, ama benim sözlerim asla ortadan kalkmayacaktır.”
36 “But neither I, nor any other person, nor any angel in heaven, knows either the day or the hour [when the things that I have told you about will happen]. Only [God, my] Father, [knows].
“O günü ve saati, ne gökteki melekler, ne de Oğul bilir; Baba'dan başka kimse bilmez.
37 It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, [the people] did not know that [anything bad would happen] to them. Before the flood waters covered the earth, [the people] were eating and drinking [as usual]. Some men were marrying women and [some parents] were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all [those who were not in the boat]. Similarly, [the unbelieving people will not know] when [I, the one who came from heaven], will return, [and they will not] be [expecting me].
Nuh'un günlerinde nasıl olduysa, İnsanoğlu'nun gelişinde de öyle olacak.
Nuh'un gemiye bindiği güne dek, tufandan önceki günlerde insanlar yiyip içiyor, evlenip evlendiriliyorlardı.
Tufan gelinceye, hepsini süpürüp götürünceye dek başlarına geleceklerden habersizdiler. İnsanoğlu'nun gelişi de öyle olacak.
40 When I [return], I [will not take all people up to heaven. I will take only those who trust in me. For example], two [people] will be in the fields. One of them will be taken {[I] will take one of them} up [to heaven] and the other [person] will be left {and I will leave the other [person]} [here to be punished].
O gün tarlada bulunan iki kişiden biri alınacak, biri bırakılacak.
41 [Similarly], two [women] will be at the mill grinding grain. One of them will be taken up [to heaven] and the other will be left.
Değirmende buğday öğüten iki kadından biri alınacak, biri bırakılacak.
42 So, because you do not know what day [I], your Lord, will return [to the earth], you need to be ready [for me to return at any time].
“Bunun için uyanık kalın. Çünkü Rabbiniz'in geleceği günü bilemezsiniz.
43 You know that if the owners of a house knew at what time in the night thieves would come, they would be awake and prevent the thieves from breaking into their houses. Similarly, I [will come just like unexpectedly as a thief].
Ama şunu bilin ki, ev sahibi, hırsızın gece hangi saatte geleceğini bilse, uyanık kalır, evinin soyulmasına fırsat vermez.
44 So you need to be ready [for my return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will return [to the earth] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Bunun için siz de hazır olun! Çünkü İnsanoğlu beklemediğiniz saatte gelecektir.
45 “Think about what every faithful and wise servant is like [RHQ]. The house owner appoints one servant to supervise the other servants. He tells him to give them food at the proper times. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
“Efendinin, hizmetkârlarına vaktinde yiyecek vermek için başlarına atadığı güvenilir ve akıllı köle kimdir?
46 If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
Efendisi eve döndüğünde işinin başında bulacağı o köleye ne mutlu!
47 Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
Size doğrusunu söyleyeyim, efendisi onu bütün malının üzerinde yetkili kılacak.
48 But a wicked servant might say to himself, ‘The owner [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably] will not return soon [and find out what I am doing.’]
Ama o köle kötü olur da içinden, ‘Efendim gecikiyor’ der ve öteki köleleri dövmeye başlarsa, sarhoşlarla birlikte yiyip içerse, efendisi, onun beklemediği günde, ummadığı saatte gelecek, onu şiddetle cezalandırıp ikiyüzlülerle bir tutacak. Orada ağlayış ve diş gıcırtısı olacaktır.”
49 [So he] will begin to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk.
50 [Then] the house owner will come back at a time when the servant does not expect him [DOU].
51 He will punish that servant severely [HYP], (OR, cut that servant into two pieces) and he will put him where (the hypocrites/the ones who only pretended to be good) are put. In that place the people cry and grind their teeth [because they suffer very much].”
