mathiḥ 24
1 anantaraṁ yīśu ryadā mandirād bahi rgacchati, tadānīṁ śiṣyāstaṁ mandiranirmmāṇaṁ darśayitumāgatāḥ|
Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 tatō yīśustānuvāca, yūyaṁ kimētāni na paśyatha? yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, ētannicayanasya pāṣāṇaikamapyanyapāṣāṇēpari na sthāsyati sarvvāṇi bhūmisāt kāriṣyantē|
But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not 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)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 tadānīṁ yīśustānavōcat, avadhadvvaṁ, kōpi yuṣmān na bhramayēt|
Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 bahavō mama nāma gr̥hlanta āgamiṣyanti, khrīṣṭō'hamēvēti vācaṁ vadantō bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
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. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 aparaṁ dēśasya vipakṣō dēśō rājyasya vipakṣō rājyaṁ bhaviṣyati, sthānē sthānē ca durbhikṣaṁ mahāmārī bhūkampaśca bhaviṣyanti,
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 ētāni duḥkhōpakramāḥ|
But all these things 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 up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
10 bahuṣu vighnaṁ prāptavatsu parasparam r̥tīyāṁ kr̥tavatsu ca ēkō'paraṁ parakarēṣu samarpayiṣyati|
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 tathā bahavō mr̥ṣābhaviṣyadvādina upasthāya bahūn bhramayiṣyanti|
Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 duṣkarmmaṇāṁ bāhulyāñca bahūnāṁ prēma śītalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 kintu yaḥ kaścit śēṣaṁ yāvad dhairyyamāśrayatē, saēva paritrāyiṣyatē|
But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 aparaṁ sarvvadēśīyalōkān pratimākṣī bhavituṁ rājasya śubhasamācāraḥ sarvvajagati pracāriṣyatē, ētādr̥śi sati yugānta upasthāsyati|
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15 atō yat sarvvanāśakr̥dghr̥ṇārhaṁ vastu dāniyēlbhaviṣyadvadinā prōktaṁ tad yadā puṇyasthānē sthāpitaṁ drakṣyatha, (yaḥ paṭhati, sa budhyatāṁ)
“When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (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 him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 yaśca kṣētrē tiṣṭhati, sōpi vastramānētuṁ parāvr̥tya na yāyāt|
Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 tadānīṁ garbhiṇīstanyapāyayitrīṇāṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati|
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20 atō yaṣmākaṁ palāyanaṁ śītakālē viśrāmavārē vā yanna bhavēt, tadarthaṁ prārthayadhvam|
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21 ā jagadārambhād ētatkālaparyyanantaṁ yādr̥śaḥ kadāpi nābhavat na ca bhaviṣyati tādr̥śō mahāklēśastadānīm upasthāsyati|
for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22 tasya klēśasya samayō yadi hsvō na kriyēta, tarhi kasyāpi prāṇinō rakṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknuyāt, kintu manōnītamanujānāṁ kr̥tē sa kālō hsvīkariṣyatē|
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 aparañca paśyata, khrīṣṭō'tra vidyatē, vā tatra vidyatē, tadānīṁ yadī kaścid yuṣmāna iti vākyaṁ vadati, tathāpi tat na pratīt|
“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t 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 arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25 paśyata, ghaṭanātaḥ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmān vārttām avādiṣam|
“Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 ataḥ paśyata, sa prāntarē vidyata iti vākyē kēnacit kathitēpi bahi rmā gacchata, vā paśyata, sōntaḥpurē vidyatē, ētadvākya uktēpi mā pratīta|
“If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
27 yatō yathā vidyut pūrvvadiśō nirgatya paścimadiśaṁ yāvat prakāśatē, tathā mānuṣaputrasyāpyāgamanaṁ bhaviṣyati|
For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 yatra śavastiṣṭhati, tatrēva gr̥dhrā milanti|
For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
29 aparaṁ tasya klēśasamayasyāvyavahitaparatra sūryyasya tējō lōpsyatē, candramā jyōsnāṁ na kariṣyati, nabhasō nakṣatrāṇi patiṣyanti, gagaṇīyā grahāśca vicaliṣyanti|
“But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, 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|
and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31 tadānīṁ sa mahāśabdāyamānatūryyā vādakān nijadūtān prahēṣyati, tē vyōmna ēkasīmātō'parasīmāṁ yāvat caturdiśastasya manōnītajanān ānīya mēlayiṣyanti|
He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 uḍumbarapādapasya dr̥ṣṭāntaṁ śikṣadhvaṁ; yadā tasya navīnāḥ śākhā jāyantē, pallavādiśca nirgacchati, tadā nidāghakālaḥ savidhō bhavatīti yūyaṁ jānītha;
“Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.
33 tadvad ētā ghaṭanā dr̥ṣṭvā sa samayō dvāra upāsthād iti jānīta|
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 yuṣmānahaṁ tathyaṁ vadāmi, idānīntanajanānāṁ gamanāt pūrvvamēva tāni sarvvāṇi ghaṭiṣyantē|
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35 nabhōmēdinyō rluptayōrapi mama vāk kadāpi na lōpsyatē|
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 aparaṁ mama tātaṁ vinā mānuṣaḥ svargasthō dūtō vā kōpi taddinaṁ taddaṇḍañca na jñāpayati|
“But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 aparaṁ nōhē vidyamānē yādr̥śamabhavat tādr̥śaṁ manujasutasyāgamanakālēpi bhaviṣyati|
As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 phalatō jalāplāvanāt pūrvvaṁ yaddinaṁ yāvat nōhaḥ pōtaṁ nārōhat, tāvatkālaṁ yathā manuṣyā bhōjanē pānē vivahanē vivāhanē ca pravr̥ttā āsan;
For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
39 aparam āplāvitōyamāgatya yāvat sakalamanujān plāvayitvā nānayat, tāvat tē yathā na vidāmāsuḥ, tathā manujasutāgamanēpi bhaviṣyati|
and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 tadā kṣētrasthitayōrdvayōrēkō dhāriṣyatē, aparastyājiṣyatē|
Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 tathā pēṣaṇyā piṁṣatyōrubhayō ryōṣitōrēkā dhāriṣyatē'parā tyājiṣyatē|
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42 yuṣmākaṁ prabhuḥ kasmin daṇḍa āgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rnāvagamyatē, tasmāt jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata|
Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.
43 kutra yāmē stēna āgamiṣyatīti cēd gr̥hasthō jñātum aśakṣyat, tarhi jāgaritvā taṁ sandhiṁ karttitum avārayiṣyat tad jānīta|
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 yuṣmābhiravadhīyatāṁ, yatō yuṣmābhi ryatra na budhyatē, tatraiva daṇḍē manujasuta āyāsyati|
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 prabhu rnijaparivārān yathākālaṁ bhōjayituṁ yaṁ dāsam adhyakṣīkr̥tya sthāpayati, tādr̥śō viśvāsyō dhīmān dāsaḥ kaḥ?
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46 prabhurāgatya yaṁ dāsaṁ tathācarantaṁ vīkṣatē, saēva dhanyaḥ|
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, sa taṁ nijasarvvasvasyādhipaṁ kariṣyati|
Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 kintu prabhurāgantuṁ vilambata iti manasi cintayitvā yō duṣṭō dāsō
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 'paradāsān praharttuṁ mattānāṁ saṅgē bhōktuṁ pātuñca pravarttatē,
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 sa dāsō yadā nāpēkṣatē, yañca daṇḍaṁ na jānāti, tatkālaēva tatprabhurupasthāsyati|
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
51 tadā taṁ daṇḍayitvā yatra sthānē rōdanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañcāsātē, tatra kapaṭibhiḥ sākaṁ taddaśāṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
