Mateusza 24
1 A wyszedłszy Jezus z kościoła szedł; i przystąpili uczniowie jego, aby mu ukazali budowanie kościelne.
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].
2 I rzekł im Jezus: Izaż nie widzicie tego wszystkiego? Zaprawdę powiadam wam, nie zostanie tu kamień na kamieniu, który by nie był rozwalony.
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.”
3 A gdy siedział na górze oliwnej, przystąpili do niego uczniowie osobno, mówiąc: Powiedz nam, kiedy się to stanie, i co za znak przyjścia twego i dokonania świata? (aiōn g165)
[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)
4 I odpowiadając Jezus, rzekł im: Patrzcie, aby was kto nie zwiódł.
Jesus replied, “[All that I will say is], be sure that no one deceives you [about what will happen]
5 Albowiem wiele ich przyjdzie pod imieniem mojem, mówiąc: Jam jest Chrystus; i wiele ich zwiodą.
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].
6 I usłyszycie wojny i wieści o wojnach; patrzcież, abyście sobą nie trwożyli; albowiem musi to wszystko być, ale jeszcze nie tu jest koniec.
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!
7 Albowiem powstanie naród przeciwko narodowi, i królestwo przeciwko królestwu, i będą głody i mory i trzęsienia ziemi miejscami.
[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.
8 Ale to wszystko jest początkiem boleści.
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].
9 Tedy was podadzą w udręczenie, i będą was zabijać, i będziecie w nienawiści u wszystkich narodów dla imienia mego.
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].
10 A tedy wiele się ich zgorszy, a jedni drugich wydadzą, i jedni drugich nienawidzieć będą.
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.
11 I wiele fałszywych proroków powstanie, i zwiodą wielu.
Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people.
12 A iż się rozmnoży nieprawość, oziębnie miłość wielu.
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].
13 Ale kto wytrwa aż do końca, ten zbawion będzie.
But [all] those who keep on [believing in me] to the end [of their lives] will be saved.
14 I będzie kazana ta Ewangielija królestwa po wszystkim świecie, na świadectwo wszystkim narodom. A tedyć przyjdzie koniec.
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.”
15 Przetoż gdy ujrzycie obrzydliwość spustoszenia, opowiedzianą przez Danijela proroka, stojącą na miejscu świętem, (kto czyta, niechaj uważa),
“[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: ]
16 Tedy ci, co będą w ziemi Judzkiej, niech uciekają na góry;
When you see that happen [in the Temple, those of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills!
17 A kto na dachu, niechaj nie zstępuje, aby co wziął z domu swego;
Those who are outside their houses must not go back into their houses to get things [before they flee].
18 A kto na roli, niech się nazad nie wraca, aby wziął szaty swe.
Those who are [working] in a field should not turn back to get their outer clothing [before they flee].
19 A biada brzemiennym i piersiami karmiącym w one dni!
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]
20 Przetoż módlcie się, aby nie było uciekanie wasze w zimie, albo w sabat.
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,
21 Albowiem naonczas będzie wielki ucisk, jaki nie był od początku świata aż dotąd, ani potem będzie.
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].
22 A gdyby nie były skrócone one dni, nie byłoby zbawione żadne ciało: ale dla wybranych będą skrócone one dni.
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.”
23 Tedy jeźliby wam kto rzekł: Oto tu jest Chrystus, albo tam, nie wierzcie.
“[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!
24 Albowiem powstaną fałszywi Chrystusowie, i fałszywi prorocy, i czynić będą znamiona wielkie i cuda, tak iżby zwiedli (by można) i wybrane.
25 Otom wam przepowiedział.
Do not forget [that] I have warned you about all this before [it happens].
26 Jeźliby wam tedy rzekli: Oto na puszczy jest, nie wychodźcie; oto w komorach, nie wierzcie.
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],
27 Albowiem jako błyskawica wychodzi od wschodu słońca i ukazuje się aż na zachód, tak będzie i przyjście Syna człowieczego.
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].
28 Bo gdziekolwiek będzie ścierw, tam się zgromadzą i orły.
[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.)”
29 A zaraz po utrapieniu onych dni słońce się zaćmi, a księżyc nie da jasności swojej, i gwiazdy będą padać z nieba, i mocy niebieskie poruszą się.
“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.)
30 Tedyć się ukaże znamię Syna człowieczego na niebie, a tedy będą narzekać wszystkie pokolenia ziemi, i ujrzą Syna człowieczego, przychodzącego na obłokach niebieskich, z mocą i z chwałą wielką;
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].
31 I pośle Anioły swoje z trąbą głosu wielkiego, i zgromadzą wybrane jego od czterech wiatrów, od krajów niebios aż do krajów ich.
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.”
32 A od drzewa figowego nauczcie się tego podobieństwa: Gdy się już gałąź jego odmładza i liście wypuszcza, poznajecie, iż blisko jest lato.
“[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.
33 Także i wy, gdy ujrzycie to wszystko, poznawajcie, iż blisko jest, a we drzwiach.
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].
34 Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że nie przeminie ten wiek, ażby się to wszystko stało.
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.
35 Niebo i ziemia przeminą, ale słowa moje nie przeminą.
[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.”
36 A o onym dniu i godzinie nikt nie wie, ani Aniołowie niebiescy, tylko sam Ojciec mój.
“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].
37 Ale jako było za dni Noego, tak będzie i przyjście Syna człowieczego.
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].
38 Albowiem jako za dni onych przed potopem jedli, i pili, i ożeniali się i za mąż wydawali, aż do onego dnia, którego wszedł Noe do korabia,
39 I nie spostrzegli się, aż przyszedł potop i zabrał wszystkie: tak będzie i przyjście Syna człowieczego.
40 Tedy będą dwaj na roli; jeden będzie wzięty, a drugi zostawiony;
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].
41 Dwie będą mleć we młynie; jedna będzie wzięta, a druga zostawiona;
[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.
42 Czujcież tedy, ponieważ nie wiecie, której godziny Pan wasz przyjdzie.
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].
43 A to wiedzcie, że, gdyby wiedział gospodarz, o której straży złodziej ma przyjść, wżdyby czuł, i nie dałby podkopać domu swego.
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].
44 Przetoż i wy bądźcie gotowi; bo której się godziny nie spodziejecie, Syn człowieczy przyjdzie.
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].”
45 Któryż tedy jest sługa wierny i roztropny, którego postanowił pan jego nad czeladzią swoją, aby im dawał pokarm na czas słuszny?
“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].
46 Błogosławiony on sługa, którego by, przyszedłszy Pan jego, znalazł tak czyniącego;
If that servant is doing that [work] when the house owner returns, [the house owner] will be very pleased with him.
47 Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że go nad wszystkiemi dobrami swemi postanowi.
Think about this: The house owner will appoint [that one servant] to be the supervisor of all his possessions.
48 A jeźliby rzekł on zły sługa w sercu swojem: Odwłacza pan mój z przyjściem swojem;
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.’]
49 I począłby bić spółsługi, a jeść i pić z pijanicami:
[So he] will begin to beat the other servants and eat and get drunk.
50 Przyjdzie pan sługi onego, dnia, którego się nie spodzieje, i godziny, której nie wie;
[Then] the house owner will come back at a time when the servant does not expect him [DOU].
51 I odłączy go, a część jego położy z obłudnikami; tam będzie płacz i zgrzytanie zębów.
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].”
