Κατα Ματθαιον 24

1 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἐπορεύετο, καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπιδεῖξαι αὐτῷ τὰς οἰκοδομὰς τοῦ ἱεροῦ.

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.

2 Ὁ δὲ (ἀποκριθεὶς *NO*) (Ἰησοῦς *k*) εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ βλέπετε ταῦτα πάντα; ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον ὃς οὐ (μὴ *k*) καταλυθήσεται.

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.

3 Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους τῶν ἐλαιῶν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ κατ᾽ ἰδίαν λέγοντες· εἰπὲ ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἔσται καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον τῆς σῆς παρουσίας καὶ (τῆς *k*) συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος; (aiōn g165)

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)

4 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ.

And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

5 πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χριστός, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.

6 μελλήσετε δὲ ἀκούειν πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων· ὁρᾶτε, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γὰρ (πάντα *k*) γενέσθαι ἀλλ᾽ οὔπω ἐστὶν τὸ τέλος.

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.

7 Ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔσονται λιμοὶ (καὶ λοιμοὶ *K*) καὶ σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους.

For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

8 πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἀρχὴ ὠδίνων.

But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

9 Τότε παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς θλῖψιν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου.

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.

10 καὶ τότε σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ καὶ ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσιν καὶ μισήσουσιν ἀλλήλους·

And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

11 καὶ πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καὶ πλανήσουσιν πολλούς·

and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;

12 καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.

and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

13 ὁ δὲ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος, οὗτος σωθήσεται.

but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

14 καὶ κηρυχθήσεται τοῦτο τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· καὶ τότε ἥξει τὸ τέλος.

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.

15 Ὅταν οὖν ἴδητε τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου (ἑστὸς *NK(o)*) ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω,

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, )

16 τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν (εἰς *N(k)O*) τὰ ὄρη,

then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

17 ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ (καταβάτω *N(k)O*) ἆραι (τὰ *N(k)O*) ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,

let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

18 καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι (τὸ ἱμάτιον *N(k)O*) αὐτοῦ.

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

19 οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

20 προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν χειμῶνος μηδὲ (ἐν *k*) σαββάτῳ.

But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:

21 ἔσται γὰρ τότε θλῖψις μεγάλη οἵα οὐ γέγονεν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς κόσμου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδ᾽ οὐ μὴ γένηται.

for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;

22 καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι.

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.

23 Τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· ἰδοὺ ὧδε ὁ χριστὸς ἢ ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε.

Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.

24 ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται καὶ δώσουσιν σημεῖα μεγάλα καὶ τέρατα ὥστε (πλανῆσαι *NK(o)*) εἰ δυνατὸν καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς.

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.

25 ἰδοὺ προείρηκα ὑμῖν.

Behold, I have told you beforehand.

26 ἐὰν οὖν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐστίν, μὴ ἐξέλθητε· ἰδοὺ ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, μὴ πιστεύσητε.

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].

27 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ φαίνεται ἕως δυσμῶν, οὕτως ἔσται (καὶ *k*) ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

28 ὅπου (γὰρ *k*) ἐὰν ᾖ τὸ πτῶμα, ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί.

[For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.

29 εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται, καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.

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.

30 καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν (τῷ *ko*) οὐρανῷ· καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.

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.

31 καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος (φωνῆς *ko*) μεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων, ἀπ᾽ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως (τῶν *no*) ἄκρων αὐτῶν.

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.

32 Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν· ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος.

But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

33 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅταν ἴδητε πάντα ταῦτα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.

Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.

34 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν (ὅτι *no*) οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται.

Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.

35 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ (παρελεύσεται, *N(k)O*) οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν.

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

36 Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ (τῆς *k*) ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν (οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός, *NO*) εἰ μὴ ὁ πατὴρ (μου *k*) μόνος.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.

37 ὥσπερ (γὰρ *N(k)O*) αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται (καὶ *k*) ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man.

38 (ὡς *N(k)O*) γὰρ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις (ἐκείναις *no*) ταῖς πρὸ τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ, τρώγοντες καὶ πίνοντες, γαμοῦντες καὶ (γαμίζοντες, *N(k)O*) ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθεν Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν,

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,

39 καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕως ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἦρεν ἅπαντας, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.

40 Τότε δύο ἔσονται ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ· (ὁ *k*) εἷς παραλαμβάνεται καὶ (ὁ *k*) εἷς ἀφίεται.

Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;

41 δύο ἀλήθουσαι ἐν τῷ (μύλῳ· *N(k)O*) μία παραλαμβάνεται καὶ μία ἀφίεται.

two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.

42 Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ (ἡμέρᾳ *N(K)O*) ὁ κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται.

Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.

43 ἐκεῖνο δὲ γινώσκετε, ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ φυλακῇ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν εἴασεν (διορυχθῆναι *N(k)O*) τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ.

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].

44 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑμεῖς γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι· ὅτι ᾗ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὥρᾳ, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.

Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.

45 Τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ κύριος (αὐτοῦ *k*) ἐπὶ τῆς (οἰκετείας *N(K)O*) αὐτοῦ τοῦ (δοῦναι *N(k)O*) αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ;

Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?

46 μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει οὕτως ποιοῦντα.

Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.

47 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.

Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.

48 Ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ κακὸς δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· χρονίζει μου ὁ κύριος (ἐλθεῖν, *k*)

But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

49 καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς συνδούλους αὐτοῦ, (ἐσθίῃ *N(k)O*) δὲ καὶ (πίνῃ *N(k)O*) μετὰ τῶν μεθυόντων,

and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;

50 ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει,

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,

51 καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὑποκριτῶν θήσει· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
