mathiḥ 24
1 anantaraṁ yīśu ryadā mandirād bahi rgacchati, tadānīṁ śiṣyāstaṁ mandiranirmmāṇaṁ darśayitumāgatāḥ|
As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
2 tatō yīśustānuvāca, yūyaṁ kimētāni na paśyatha? yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, ētannicayanasya pāṣāṇaikamapyanyapāṣāṇēpari na sthāsyati sarvvāṇi bhūmisāt kāriṣyantē|
“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3 anantaraṁ tasmin jaitunaparvvatōpari samupaviṣṭē śiṣyāstasya samīpamāgatya guptaṁ papracchuḥ, ētā ghaṭanāḥ kadā bhaviṣyanti? bhavata āgamanasya yugāntasya ca kiṁ lakṣma? tadasmān vadatu| (aiōn g165)
While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 tadānīṁ yīśustānavōcat, avadhadvvaṁ, kōpi yuṣmān na bhramayēt|
Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5 bahavō mama nāma gr̥hlanta āgamiṣyanti, khrīṣṭō'hamēvēti vācaṁ vadantō bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 yūyañca saṁgrāmasya raṇasya cāḍambaraṁ śrōṣyatha, avadhadvvaṁ tēna cañcalā mā bhavata, ētānyavaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyantē, kintu tadā yugāntō nahi|
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7 aparaṁ dēśasya vipakṣō dēśō rājyasya vipakṣō rājyaṁ bhaviṣyati, sthānē sthānē ca durbhikṣaṁ mahāmārī bhūkampaśca bhaviṣyanti,
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 ētāni duḥkhōpakramāḥ|
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 tadānīṁ lōkā duḥkhaṁ bhōjayituṁ yuṣmān parakarēṣu samarpayiṣyanti haniṣyanti ca, tathā mama nāmakāraṇād yūyaṁ sarvvadēśīyamanujānāṁ samīpē ghr̥ṇārhā bhaviṣyatha|
Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10 bahuṣu vighnaṁ prāptavatsu parasparam r̥tīyāṁ kr̥tavatsu ca ēkō'paraṁ parakarēṣu samarpayiṣyati|
At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
11 tathā bahavō mr̥ṣābhaviṣyadvādina upasthāya bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
12 duṣkarmmaṇāṁ bāhulyāñca bahūnāṁ prēma śītalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13 kintu yaḥ kaścit śēṣaṁ yāvad dhairyyamāśrayatē, saēva paritrāyiṣyatē|
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14 aparaṁ sarvvadēśīyalōkān pratimākṣī bhavituṁ rājasya śubhasamācāraḥ sarvvajagati pracāriṣyatē, ētādr̥śi sati yugānta upasthāsyati|
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 atō yat sarvvanāśakr̥dghr̥ṇārhaṁ vastu dāniyēlbhaviṣyadvadinā prōktaṁ tad yadā puṇyasthānē sthāpitaṁ drakṣyatha, (yaḥ paṭhati, sa budhyatāṁ)
So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
16 tadānīṁ yē yihūdīyadēśē tiṣṭhanti, tē parvvatēṣu palāyantāṁ|
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 yaḥ kaścid gr̥hapr̥ṣṭhē tiṣṭhati, sa gr̥hāt kimapi vastvānētum adhē nāvarōhēt|
Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
18 yaśca kṣētrē tiṣṭhati, sōpi vastramānētuṁ parāvr̥tya na yāyāt|
And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
19 tadānīṁ garbhiṇīstanyapāyayitrīṇāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati|
How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
20 atō yaṣmākaṁ palāyanaṁ śītakālē viśrāmavārē vā yanna bhavēt, tadarthaṁ prārthayadhvam|
Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 ā jagadārambhād ētatkālaparyyanantaṁ yādr̥śaḥ kadāpi nābhavat na ca bhaviṣyati tādr̥śō mahāklēśastadānīm upasthāsyati|
For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
22 tasya klēśasya samayō yadi hsvō na kriyēta, tarhi kasyāpi prāṇinō rakṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknuyāt, kintu manōnītamanujānāṁ kr̥tē sa kālō hsvīkariṣyatē|
If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23 aparañca paśyata, khrīṣṭō'tra vidyatē, vā tatra vidyatē, tadānīṁ yadī kaścid yuṣmāna iti vākyaṁ vadati, tathāpi tat na pratīt|
At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
24 yatō bhāktakhrīṣṭā bhāktabhaviṣyadvādinaśca upasthāya yāni mahanti lakṣmāṇi citrakarmmāṇi ca prakāśayiṣyanti, tai ryadi sambhavēt tarhi manōnītamānavā api bhrāmiṣyantē|
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
25 paśyata, ghaṭanātaḥ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmān vārttām avādiṣam|
See, I have told you in advance.
26 ataḥ paśyata, sa prāntarē vidyata iti vākyē kēnacit kathitēpi bahi rmā gacchata, vā paśyata, sōntaḥpurē vidyatē, ētadvākya uktēpi mā pratīta|
So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27 yatō yathā vidyut pūrvvadiśō nirgatya paścimadiśaṁ yāvat prakāśatē, tathā mānuṣaputrasyāpyāgamanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 yatra śavastiṣṭhati, tatrēva gr̥dhrā milanti|
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 aparaṁ tasya klēśasamayasyāvyavahitaparatra sūryyasya tējō lōpsyatē, candramā jyōsnāṁ na kariṣyati, nabhasō nakṣatrāṇi patiṣyanti, gagaṇīyā grahāśca vicaliṣyanti|
Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
30 tadānīm ākāśamadhyē manujasutasya lakṣma darśiṣyatē, tatō nijaparākramēṇa mahātējasā ca mēghārūḍhaṁ manujasutaṁ nabhasāgacchantaṁ vilōkya pr̥thivyāḥ sarvvavaṁśīyā vilapiṣyanti|
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 tadānīṁ sa mahāśabdāyamānatūryyā vādakān nijadūtān prahēṣyati, tē vyōmna ēkasīmātō'parasīmāṁ yāvat caturdiśastasya manōnītajanān ānīya mēlayiṣyanti|
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 uḍumbarapādapasya dr̥ṣṭāntaṁ śikṣadhvaṁ; yadā tasya navīnāḥ śākhā jāyantē, pallavādiśca nirgacchati, tadā nidāghakālaḥ savidhō bhavatīti yūyaṁ jānītha;
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 tadvad ētā ghaṭanā dr̥ṣṭvā sa samayō dvāra upāsthād iti jānīta|
So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
34 yuṣmānahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi, idānīntanajanānāṁ gamanāt pūrvvamēva tāni sarvvāṇi ghaṭiṣyantē|
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
35 nabhōmēdinyō rluptayōrapi mama vāk kadāpi na lōpsyatē|
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36 aparaṁ mama tātaṁ vinā mānuṣaḥ svargasthō dūtō vā kōpi taddinaṁ taddaṇḍañca na jñāpayati|
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37 aparaṁ nōhē vidyamānē yādr̥śamabhavat tādr̥śaṁ manujasutasyāgamanakālēpi bhaviṣyati|
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 phalatō jalāplāvanāt pūrvvaṁ yaddinaṁ yāvat nōhaḥ pōtaṁ nārōhat, tāvatkālaṁ yathā manuṣyā bhōjanē pānē vivahanē vivāhanē ca pravr̥ttā āsan;
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
39 aparam āplāvitōyamāgatya yāvat sakalamanujān plāvayitvā nānayat, tāvat tē yathā na vidāmāsuḥ, tathā manujasutāgamanēpi bhaviṣyati|
And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 tadā kṣētrasthitayōrdvayōrēkō dhāriṣyatē, aparastyājiṣyatē|
Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41 tathā pēṣaṇyā piṁṣatyōrubhayō ryōṣitōrēkā dhāriṣyatē'parā tyājiṣyatē|
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42 yuṣmākaṁ prabhuḥ kasmin daṇḍa āgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rnāvagamyatē, tasmāt jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata|
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
43 kutra yāmē stēna āgamiṣyatīti cēd gr̥hasthō jñātum aśakṣyat, tarhi jāgaritvā taṁ sandhiṁ karttitum avārayiṣyat tad jānīta|
But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 yuṣmābhiravadhīyatāṁ, yatō yuṣmābhi ryatra na budhyatē, tatraiva daṇḍē manujasuta āyāsyati|
For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45 prabhu rnijaparivārān yathākālaṁ bhōjayituṁ yaṁ dāsam adhyakṣīkr̥tya sthāpayati, tādr̥śō viśvāsyō dhīmān dāsaḥ kaḥ?
Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
46 prabhurāgatya yaṁ dāsaṁ tathācarantaṁ vīkṣatē, saēva dhanyaḥ|
Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47 yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, sa taṁ nijasarvvasvasyādhipaṁ kariṣyati|
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48 kintu prabhurāgantuṁ vilambata iti manasi cintayitvā yō duṣṭō dāsō
But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
49 'paradāsān praharttuṁ mattānāṁ saṅgē bhōktuṁ pātuñca pravarttatē,
And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50 sa dāsō yadā nāpēkṣatē, yañca daṇḍaṁ na jānāti, tatkālaēva tatprabhurupasthāsyati|
The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
51 tadā taṁ daṇḍayitvā yatra sthānē rōdanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañcāsātē, tatra kapaṭibhiḥ sākaṁ taddaśāṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
