1 J esus went out of the house of God. On the way His followers came to Him to show Him the buildings of the house of God.

وَتَرَكَ يَسُوعُ ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ. وَبَينَما كانَ ماشِياً، جاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، لِأنَّهُمْ أرادُوا أنْ يُرُوهُ أبنِيَةَ الهَيكَلِ.

2 J esus said to them, “Do you see all these things? For sure, I tell you, all these stones will be thrown down. Not one will be left standing on another.” Jesus Teaches on the Mount of Olives

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أتَرَونَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الأبنِيَةَ؟ أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، لا يَبقَى فِيها حَجَرٌ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، إذْ سَتُهدَمُ كُلُّها!»

3 J esus sat on the Mount of Olives. The followers came to Him when He was alone and said, “Tell us, when will this happen? What can we look for to show us of Your coming and of the end of the world?”

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 said to them, “Be careful that no one leads you the wrong way.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «انتَبِهُوا لِئَلّا تَنخَدِعُوا.

5 M any people will come using My name. They will say, ‘I am Christ.’ They will fool many people and will turn them to the wrong way.

سَيَأْتِي كَثِيرُونَ وَيَنتَحِلونَ اسْمِي، فَيَقولونَ: ‹أنا هُوَ المَسيحْ› وَسَيَخدَعُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.

6 Y ou will hear of wars and lots of talk about wars, but do not be afraid. These things must happen, but it is not the end yet.

سَتَسمَعُونَ بِأخبارِ الحُرُوبِ وَالثَّوراتِ، فَيَنبَغي ألّا تَخافُوا. فَلا بُدَّ أنْ تَحدُثَ هَذِهِ الأشياءُ، لَكِنَّها لَنْ تَكُونَ نِهايَةَ العالَمِ بَعْدُ.»

7 N ations will have wars with other nations. Countries will fight against countries. There will be no food for people. The earth will shake and break apart in different places.

لِأنَّهُ سَتَقُومُ أُمَّةٌ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمَملَكَةٌ عَلَى مَملَكَةٍ. سَتَحدُثُ زَلازِلُ وَمَجاعاتٌ،

8 T hese things are the beginning of sorrows and pains.

وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّها سَتَكُونُ أوَّلَ آلامِ المَخاضِ.

9 “ Then they will hand you over to be hurt. They will kill you. You will be hated by all the world because of My name.

«فَسَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ لِلعِقابِ، وَسَيَقتُلُونَ بَعضاً مِنكُمْ. وَسَتُبغِضُكُمُ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِي.

10 M any people will give up and turn away at this time. People will hand over each other. They will hate each other.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَترُكُ كَثِيرُونَ الإيمانَ، وَسَيُسَلِّمُ أحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ إلَى السُّلْطاتِ، وَسَيُبغِضُ بَعضُهُمْ بَعضاً.

11 M any false religious teachers will come. They will fool many people and will turn them to the wrong way.

وَسَيَظهَرُ أنبِياءُ كَذَبَةٌ، وَيَخدَعُونَ كَثِيرِينَ.

12 B ecause of people breaking the laws and sin being everywhere, the love in the hearts of many people will become cold.

وَبِسَبَبِ زِيادَةِ الشَّرِّ، سَتَبرُدُ مَحَبَّةُ كَثيرينَ مِنَ المُؤمنينَ،

13 B ut the one who stays true to the end will be saved.

وَلَكِنِ الَّذِي يَبقَى أميناً إلَى النِّهايَةِ، فَهَذا سَيَخلُصُ.

14 “ This Good News about the holy nation of God must be preached over all the earth. It must be told to all nations and then the end will come. Days of Trouble and Pain and Sorrow

وَسَتُعلَنُ بِشارَةُ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ فِي كُلِّ العالَمِ كَشَهادَةٍ لِغَيرِ اليَهُودِ، ثُمَّ تَأتِي النِّهايَةُ.

15 “ You will see a sinful man-made god standing in the house of God in Jerusalem. It was spoken of by the early preacher Daniel. The one who reads this should understand it.

«فَعِنْدَما تَرَونَ «النَّجِسَ المُخَرِّبَ» الَّذي أشارَ إليهِ دانَيالُ النَّبِيُّ، قائِماً فِي المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ – لِيَفْهَمِ القارِئُ هَذا الكَلامَ –

16 T hen those in the country of Judea should run to the mountains.

فَليَهرُبْ حينَئِذٍ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ فِي إقليمِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ إلَى الجِبالِ،

17 T he man who is on the top of his house should not come down to take anything out of his house.

وَلا يَنزِلِ الَّذِي عَلَى السَّطْحِ لِيَأخُذَ مُمتَلَكاتِهِ مِنَ البَيتِ.

18 T he man who is in the field should not go back to get his coat.

وَلا يَعُدِ العامِلُ فِي الحَقلِ إلَى بيتِهِ لِيَأخُذَ رِداءَهُ.

19 I t will be hard for a woman who will soon be a mother. It will be hard for the ones feeding babies in those days!

«وَما أعسَرَ أحوالَ الحَوامِلِ وَالمُرضِعاتِ فِي تِلكَ الأيّامِ!

20 P ray that you will not have to go in the winter or on the Day of Rest.

لَكِنْ صَلُّوا أنْ لا يَكُونَ هَرَبُكُمْ فِي الشِّتاءِ أوْ فِي يَومِ سَبْتٍ.

21 I n those days there will be very much trouble and pain and sorrow. It has never been this bad from the beginning of the world and never will be again.

لِأنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ ضِيقٌ عَظِيمٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثلُهُ مُنذُ بِدايَةِ العالَمِ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ مِثلَهُ.

22 I f the time had not been made short, no life would have been saved. Because of God’s people, the time will be made short. The False Religious Teachers

وَلَو لَمْ يُقَرِّرِ اللهُ تَقصِيرَ تِلْكَ الأيّامِ، لَما بَقِيَ أحَدٌ حَيّاً. وَلَكِنْ لِأجلِ شَعبِهِ المُختارِ، سَيُقَصِّرُ اللهُ تِلْكَ الأيّامَ.

23 “ If anyone says to you, ‘See! Here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

فَإنْ قالَ لَكُمْ أحَدٌ: ‹ها إنَّ المَسِيحُ هُنا،› أوْ ‹ها هُوَ هُناكَ!› فَلا تُصَدِّقُوا كَلامَهُ.

24 P eople who say they are Christ and false preachers will come. They will do special things for people to see. They will do great things, so that if it can be done, God’s people will be fooled to believe something wrong.

لِأنَّ أكثَرَ مِنْ مَسِيحٍ مُزَيَّفٍ سَيَظهَرُ، وَأكثَرَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ كاذِبٍ. وَسَيَصنَعونَ مُعجِزاتٍ وَعَجائِبَ لِيَخدَعُوا الَّذِينَ اختارَهُمُ اللهُ لَوْ استَطاعُوا.

25 L isten! I have told you before it comes.

ها أنا أخبَرْتُكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ قَبلَ حُدُوثِهِ.

26 I f they tell you, ‘See! He is in the desert,’ do not go to see. Or if they say, ‘See! He is in the inside room,’ do not believe them.

«قَدْ يَقُولُ أحَدُهُمْ: ‹ها إنَّ المَسِيحَ فِي البَرَّيَةِ،› فَلا تَذهَبُوا إلَى هُناكَ. أوْ يَقُولُ: ‹ها إنَّهُ فِي إحدَى الغُرَفِ،› فَلا تُصَدِّقُوهُ.

27 T he Son of Man will come as fast as lightning shines across the sky from east to west.

لِأنَّهُ كَما يَأتي البَرْقُ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ، وَيَلْمَعُ فِي السَّماءِ إلَى الغَربِ، هَكَذا سَيَظهَرُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.

28 B irds gather wherever there is a dead body. Jesus Will Come Again in His Shining-Greatness

وَحَيثُما تَجِدُونَ الجُثَّةَ تَجِدُونَ النُّسُورَ أيضاً.

29 “ As soon as those days of trouble and pain and sorrow are over, the sun will get dark. The moon will not give light. The stars will fall from the sky. The powers in 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 something special will be seen in the sky telling of the Son of Man. All nations of the earth will have sorrow. They will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and shining-greatness.

«فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَتَظهَرُ عَلامَةُ ابْنِ الإنسانِ فِي السَّماءِ. وَسَتَنُوحُ قَبائِلُ الأرْضِ، وَسَيَرَونَ ابنَ الإنسانِ قادِماً فِي سَحابِ السَّماءِ بِقُوَّةٍ وَمَجدٍ عَظِيمٍ.

31 H e will send His angels with the loud sound of a horn. They will gather God’s people together from the four winds. They will come from one end of the heavens to the other. The Picture-Story of the Fig Tree

وَسَيُرسِلُ مَلائِكَتَهُ بِمُصاحَبَةِ صَوتِ بُوقٍ مُرتَفِعٍ، فَيَجمَعُونَ الَّذِينَ اختارَهُمْ مِنَ الجِهاتِ الأربَعِ، مِنْ أقصَى السَّماءِ إلَى أقصاها.

32 “ Now learn something from the fig tree. When the branch begins to grow and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

«تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ. فَحالَما تُصبِحُ أغصانُها طَرِيَّةً، وَتَظهَرُ أوراقُها، تَعرِفُونَ أنَّ الصَّيفَ قَرِيبٌ.

33 I n the same way, when you see all these things happen, you know the Son of Man is near, even at the door.

هَكَذا أيضاً عِندَما تَرَونَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ، سَتَعرِفُونَ أنَّ الوَقتَ قَرِيبٌ عَلَى الأبوابِ.

34 F or sure, I tell you, the people of this day will not pass away before all these things have happened. No One Knows When Jesus Will Come Again

أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: لَنْ يَنقَضِيَ هَذا الجِيلُ إلَى أنْ تَحدُثَ كُلُّ هَذِهِ الأشياءِ.

35 “ Heaven 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 no one knows the day or the hour. No! Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows.

«لَكِنْ لا يَعرِفُ أحَدٌ مَتَى يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ اليَومُ وَتِلْكَ السّاعَةُ، وَلا مَلائِكَةُ السَّماءِ يَعرِفونَ، وَلا الابْنُ، لَكِنِ الآبُ وَحدَهُ يَعلَمُ.

37 “ When the Son of Man comes, it will be the same as when Noah lived.

«وَكَما كانَ الحالُ فِي أيّامِ نُوحَ، هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ الحالُ عِندَما يَأْتِي ابنُ الإنسانِ.

38 I n the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were marrying and being given in marriage. This kept on until the day Noah went into the large boat.

فَفِي الأيّامِ الَّتِي سَبَقَتِ الطَّوَفانَ، كانَ النّاسُ يَأكُلُونَ وَيَشرَبُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَيُزَوِّجُونَ بَناتِهِمْ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ اليَومِ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ نُوحُ السَّفِينَةَ.

39 T hey did not know what was happening until the flood came and the water carried them all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man comes.

فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعرِفُونَ ما سَيَحدُثُ، حَتَّى جاءَ الطَّوَفانُ وَأخَذَهُمْ. هَكَذا سَيَكُونُ أيضاً فِي مَجِيءِ ابْنِ الإنٍسانِ.

40 “ Two men will be working in a field. One will be taken and the other will be left.

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، يَكُونُ رَجُلانِ يَعمَلانِ فِي حَقلٍ، فَيُؤخَذُ واحِدٌ وَيُترَكُ الآخَرُ.

41 T wo women will be grinding grain. One will be taken and the other will be left.

وَتَكُونُ امرَأتانِ تَطحَنانِ الحُبُوبَ عَلَى حَجَرِ الرَّحَى، فَتُؤخَذُ واحِدَةٌ وَتُترَكُ الأُخرَى.

42 “ Because of this, watch! You do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

«فَتَيَقَّظُوا إذاً، لِأنَّكُمْ لا تَعرِفُونَ مَتَى يَأتي رَبُّكُمْ.

43 B ut understand this: If the owner of a house had known when the robber was coming, he would have watched. He would not have allowed his house to have been 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 must be ready also. The Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not think He will come. Faithful Servants and Servants Who Are Not Faithful

لِذَلِكَ كُونُوا أنتُمْ أيضاً مُستَعِدِّيْنَ، لأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ سَيَأْتِي فِي لَحظَةٍ لا تَتَوَقَّعُونَها. العَبدُ الصّالِحُ وَالعَبدُ الشِّرِّير

45 “ Who is the faithful and wise servant whom his owner has made boss over the other servants? He is to have food ready for them at the right time.

«فَمَنْ هُوَ الخادِمُ الأمِينُ الفَطِنُ الَّذِي يُعَيِّنُهُ السَّيِّدُ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ عَبيدِهِ، لِيُعطِيَهُمْ طَعامَهُمْ فِي وَقتِهِ؟

46 T hat servant is happy who is doing what his owner wants him to do when he comes back.

هَنِيئاً لِذَلِكَ الخادِمِ الَّذِي حِينَ يَأْتِي سَيِّدُهُ يَجِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِواجِبِهِ.

47 F or sure, I tell you, he will make him boss over all that he has.

أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّهُ سَيُوكِلُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أملاكِهِ.

48 B ut if that servant is bad, he will think, ‘The owner will not come soon.’

أمّا الخادِمُ الشِّرِّيرُ فَيَقُولُ فِي نَفسِهِ: ‹سَيِّدِي سَيَتَأخَّرُ.›

49 H e will beat the others. He will eat and drink with those who are drunk.

فَيَبدَأُ بِضَربِ رِفاقِهِ الخُدّامِ، وَيَبدَأُ بِالأكلِ وَالشُّرْبِ مَعَ السُّكارَىْ.

50 T he owner will come on a day and at an hour when the servant is not looking for him.

فَيَأْتِي سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الخادِمِ فِي يَومٍ لا يَتَوَقَّعُهُ، وَفِي ساعَةٍ لا يَعرِفُها.

51 T he owner will punish the servant and will give him his place with those who pretend to be someone they are not. There will be loud crying and grinding of teeth.

فَيُعاقِبُهُ وَيَضَعَهُ مَعَ المُنافِقينَ حَيثُ يَبكِي النّاسُ وَيَصِرُّونَ عَلَى أسنانِهِمْ.
