1 J esus departed from the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the buildings of the temple and point them out to Him.
وَتَرَكَ يَسُوعُ ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ. وَبَينَما كانَ ماشِياً، جاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، لِأنَّهُمْ أرادُوا أنْ يُرُوهُ أبنِيَةَ الهَيكَلِ.
2 B ut He answered them, Do you see all these? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.
فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أتَرَونَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الأبنِيَةَ؟ أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، لا يَبقَى فِيها حَجَرٌ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، إذْ سَتُهدَمُ كُلُّها!»
3 W hile He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age?
وَبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ جالِساً عَلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ، جاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ عَلَى انفِرادٍ، وَقالُوا لَهُ: «أخبِرْنا مَتَى سَتَحدُثُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ؟ وَما هِيَ عَلامَةُ عَودَتِكَ وَنِهايَةِ الزَّمَنِ؟»
4 J esus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you.
فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «انتَبِهُوا لِئَلّا تَنخَدِعُوا.
5 F or many will come in (on the strength of) My name '> appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.
سَيَأْتِي كَثِيرُونَ وَيَنتَحِلونَ اسْمِي، فَيَقولونَ: ‹أنا هُوَ المَسيحْ› وَسَيَخدَعُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.
6 A nd you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
سَتَسمَعُونَ بِأخبارِ الحُرُوبِ وَالثَّوراتِ، فَيَنبَغي ألّا تَخافُوا. فَلا بُدَّ أنْ تَحدُثَ هَذِهِ الأشياءُ، لَكِنَّها لَنْ تَكُونَ نِهايَةَ العالَمِ بَعْدُ.»
7 F or nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;
لِأنَّهُ سَتَقُومُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَملَكَةٌ عَلَى مَملَكَةٍ. سَتَحدُثُ زَلازِلُ وَمَجاعاتٌ،
8 A ll this is but the beginning of the birth pangs '> intolerable anguish].
وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّها سَتَكُونُ أوَّلَ آلامِ المَخاضِ.
9 T hen they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
«فَسَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ لِلعِقابِ، وَسَيَقتُلُونَ بَعضاً مِنكُمْ. وَسَتُبغِضُكُمُ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِي.
10 A nd then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَترُكُ كَثِيرُونَ الإيمانَ، وَسَيُسَلِّمُ أحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ إلَى السُّلْطاتِ، وَسَيُبغِضُ بَعضُهُمْ بَعضاً.
11 A nd many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.
وَسَيَظهَرُ أنبِياءُ كَذَبَةٌ، وَيَخدَعُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.
12 A nd the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,
وَبِسَبَبِ زِيادَةِ الشَّرِّ، سَتَبرُدُ مَحَبَّةُ كَثيرينَ مِنَ المُؤمنينَ،
13 B ut he who endures to the end will be saved.
وَلَكِنِ الَّذِي يَبقَى أميناً إلَى النِّهايَةِ، فَهَذا سَيَخلُصُ.
14 A nd this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
وَسَتُعلَنُ بِشارَةُ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ فِي كُلِّ العالَمِ كَشَهادَةٍ لِغَيرِ اليَهُودِ، ثُمَّ تَأتِي النِّهايَةُ.
15 S o when you see the appalling sacrilege, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place—let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed —
«فَعِنْدَما تَرَونَ «النَّجِسَ المُخَرِّبَ» الَّذي أشارَ إليهِ دانَيالُ النَّبِيُّ، قائِماً فِي المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ – لِيَفْهَمِ القارِئُ هَذا الكَلامَ –
16 T hen let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
فَليَهرُبْ حينَئِذٍ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ فِي إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ إلَى الجِبالِ،
17 L et him who is on the housetop not come down and go into the house to take anything;
وَلا يَنزِلِ الَّذِي عَلَى السَّطْحِ لِيَأخُذَ مُمتَلَكاتِهِ مِنَ البَيتِ.
18 A nd let him who is in the field not turn back to get his overcoat.
وَلا يَعُدِ العامِلُ فِي الحَقلِ إلَى بيتِهِ لِيَأخُذَ رِداءَهُ.
19 A nd alas for the women who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days!
«وَما أعسَرَ أحوالَ الحَوامِلِ وَالمُرضِعاتِ فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ!
20 P ray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
لَكِنْ صَلُّوا أنْ لا يَكُونَ هَرَبُكُمْ فِي الشِّتاءِ أوْ فِي يَومِ سَبْتٍ.
21 F or then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now—no, and never will be.
لِأنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ ضِيقٌ عَظِيمٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثلُهُ مُنذُ بِدايَةِ العالَمِ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ مِثلَهُ.
22 A nd if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.
وَلَو لَمْ يُقَرِّرِ اللهُ تَقصِيرَ تِلْكَ الأيّامِ، لَما بَقِيَ أحَدٌ حَيّاً. وَلَكِنْ لِأجلِ شَعبِهِ المُختارِ، سَيُقَصِّرُ اللهُ تِلْكَ الأيّامَ.
23 I f anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!—do not believe it.
فَإنْ قالَ لَكُمْ أحَدٌ: ‹ها إنَّ المَسِيحُ هُنا،› أوْ ‹ها هُوَ هُناكَ!› فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا كَلامَهُ.
24 F or false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones).
لِأنَّ أكثَرَ مِنْ مَسِيحٍ مُزَيَّفٍ سَيَظهَرُ، وَأكثَرَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ كاذِبٍ. وَسَيَصنَعونَ مُعجِزاتٍ وَعَجائِبَ لِيَخدَعُوا الَّذِينَ اختارَهُمُ اللهُ لَوْ استَطاعُوا.
25 S ee, I have warned you beforehand.
ها أنا أخبَرْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ قَبلَ حُدُوثِهِ.
26 S o if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness (desert)—do not go out there; if they tell you, Behold, He is in the secret places or inner rooms—do not believe it.
«قَدْ يَقُولُ أحَدُهُمْ: ‹ها إنَّ المَسِيحَ فِي البَرَّيَةِ،› فَلا تَذهَبُوا إلَى هُناكَ. أوْ يَقُولُ: ‹ها إنَّهُ فِي إحدَى الغُرَفِ،› فَلا تُصَدِّقُوهُ.
27 F or just as the lightning flashes from the east and shines and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
لِأنَّهُ كَما يَأتي البَرْقُ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ، وَيَلْمَعُ فِي السَّماءِ إلَى الغَربِ، هَكَذا سَيَظهَرُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.
28 W herever there is a fallen body (a corpse), there the vultures (or eagles) will flock together.
وَحَيثُما تَجِدُونَ الجُثَّةَ تَجِدُونَ النُّسُورَ أيضاً.
29 I mmediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
وَفَوراً بَعْدَ الضِّيقِ الَّذِي سَيَحدُثُ فِي تِلْكَ الأيّامِ، ‹سَتُظلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَالقَمَرُ لَنْ يُعطِيَ نُورَهُ. سَتَسقُطُ النُّجُومُ مِنَ السَّماءِ، وَتُزَعزَعُ الأجرامُ السَّماوِيَّةُ.›
30 T hen the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
«فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَتَظهَرُ عَلامَةُ ابْنِ الإنسانِ فِي السَّماءِ. وَسَتَنُوحُ قَبائِلُ الأرْضِ، وَسَيَرَونَ ابنَ الإنسانِ قادِماً فِي سَحابِ السَّماءِ بِقُوَّةٍ وَمَجدٍ عَظِيمٍ.
31 A nd He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, from one end of the universe to the other.
وَسَيُرسِلُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِمُصاحَبَةِ صَوتِ بُوقٍ مُرتَفِعٍ، فَيَجمَعُونَ الَّذِينَ اختارَهُمْ مِنَ الجِهاتِ الأربَعِ، مِنْ أقصَى السَّماءِ إلَى أقصاها.
32 F rom the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near.
«تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ. فَحالَما تُصبِحُ أغصانُها طَرِيَّةً، وَتَظهَرُ أوراقُها، تَعرِفُونَ أنَّ الصَّيفَ قَرِيبٌ.
33 S o also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors.
هَكَذا أيضاً عِندَما تَرَونَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ، سَتَعرِفُونَ أنَّ الوَقتَ قَرِيبٌ عَلَى الأبوابِ.
34 T ruly I tell you, this generation ( the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place.
أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يَنقَضِيَ هَذا الجِيلُ إلَى أنْ تَحدُثَ كُلُّ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ.
35 S ky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
تَزُولُ السَّماءُ وَالأرْضُ، أمّا كَلامِيَ فَلَنْ يَزُولَ أبَداً. الآبُ وَحدُهُ يَعلَم
36 B ut of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
«لَكِنْ لا يَعرِفُ أحَدٌ مَتَى يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ اليَومُ وَتِلْكَ السّاعَةُ، وَلا مَلائِكَةُ السَّماءِ يَعرِفونَ، وَلا الابْنُ، لَكِنِ الآبُ وَحدَهُ يَعلَمُ.
37 A s were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
«وَكَما كانَ الحالُ فِي أيّامِ نُوحَ، هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ الحالُ عِندَما يَأْتِي ابنُ الإنسانِ.
38 F or just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark,
فَفِي الأيّامِ الَّتِي سَبَقَتِ الطَّوَفانَ، كانَ النّاسُ يَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجُونَ بَناتِهِمْ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ اليَومِ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ نُوحُ السَّفِينَةَ.
39 A nd they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away—so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعرِفُونَ ما سَيَحدُثُ، حَتَّى جاءَ الطَّوَفانُ وَأخَذَهُمْ. هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ أيضاً فِي مَجِيءِ ابْنِ الإنٍسانِ.
40 A t that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، يَكُونُ رَجُلانِ يَعمَلانِ فِي حَقلٍ، فَيُؤخَذُ واحِدٌ وَيُترَكُ الآخَرُ.
41 T wo women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
وَتَكُونُ امرَأتانِ تَطحَنانِ الحُبُوبَ عَلَى حَجَرِ الرَّحَى، فَتُؤخَذُ واحِدَةٌ وَتُترَكُ الأُخرَى.
42 W atch therefore '> give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day '> whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
«فَتَيَقَّظُوا إذاً، لِأنَّكُمْ لا تَعرِفُونَ مَتَى يَأتي رَبُّكُمْ.
43 B ut understand this: had the householder known in what '> night or a morning] watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into.
تأكَّدُوا أنَّهُ لَوْ عَلِمَ صاحِبُ البَيتِ أيَّةَ ساعَةٍ مِنَ الليلِ يَنوِي اللِّصُّ أنْ يَأْتِيَ، لاستَيقَظَ وَما تَرَكَهُ يَسطُو عَلَى بَيتِهِ.
44 Y ou also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
لِذَلِكَ كُونُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً مُستَعِدِّيْنَ، لأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ سَيَأْتِي فِي لَحظَةٍ لا تَتَوَقَّعُونَها. العَبدُ الصّالِحُ وَالعَبدُ الشِّرِّير
45 W ho then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
«فَمَنْ هُوَ الخادِمُ الأمِينُ الفَطِنُ الَّذِي يُعَيِّنُهُ السَّيِّدُ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ عَبيدِهِ، لِيُعطِيَهُمْ طَعامَهُمْ فِي وَقتِهِ؟
46 B lessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.
هَنِيئاً لِذَلِكَ الخادِمِ الَّذِي حِينَ يَأْتِي سَيِّدُهُ يَجِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِواجِبِهِ.
47 I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّهُ سَيُوكِلُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أملاكِهِ.
48 B ut if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,
أمّا الخادِمُ الشِّرِّيرُ فَيَقُولُ فِي نَفسِهِ: ‹سَيِّدِي سَيَتَأخَّرُ.›
49 A nd begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
فَيَبدَأُ بِضَربِ رِفاقِهِ الخُدّامِ، وَيَبدَأُ بِالأكلِ وَالشُّرْبِ مَعَ السُّكارَىْ.
50 T he master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,
فَيَأْتِي سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الخادِمِ فِي يَومٍ لا يَتَوَقَّعُهُ، وَفِي ساعَةٍ لا يَعرِفُها.
51 A nd will punish him '> cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
فَيُعاقِبُهُ وَيَضَعَهُ مَعَ المُنافِقينَ حَيثُ يَبكِي النّاسُ وَيَصِرُّونَ عَلَى أسنانِهِمْ.
