馬太福音 24
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
預言聖殿被毀
24 耶穌從聖殿出來，往前走的時候，他的門徒們上前來，把聖殿的建築指給他看。 2 耶穌回應說：「你們不是看見了這一切嗎？我確實地告訴你們：這裡將絕不會有一塊石頭留在另一塊石頭上而不被拆下。」
末日的預兆
3 耶穌在橄欖山上坐著，門徒們悄悄地前來問他：「請告訴我們，這些事什麼時候會發生呢？你的來臨和這世代的終結會有什麼預兆呢？」
4 耶穌回答他們，說：「你們要當心，免得有人迷惑你們。 5 因為許多人會以我的名而來，聲稱『我是基督』，並且會迷惑許多人。 6 你們也將會聽見戰爭和戰爭的消息。要注意，不可驚慌，因為這些事必須發生，不過結局還沒有到。 7 一個民族要起來反對另一個民族，一個國家要起來反對另一個國家；到處都會有饑荒[a]和地震。 8 這些都像臨產陣痛的開始。
預言受迫害
9 「那時，他們將要出賣你們，使你們受患難，甚至殺害你們。為了我的名，你們將被萬民憎恨。 10 那時，許多人將被絆倒[b]，彼此出賣，彼此憎恨； 11 並且會有許多假先知起來，迷惑許多人； 12 由於罪惡[c]增多，許多人的愛心就會冷淡。 13 但是忍耐到底的，這個人將會得救。 14 這天國的福音將被傳遍天下，好對萬國做見證，然後結局才會到來。
大患難的日子
15 「當你們看見藉著先知但以理所說的『那帶來毀滅的褻瀆者[d]』[e]站在聖地的時候——讀者應當思考—— 16 那時，在猶太的人應當逃到山裡； 17 在屋頂上的人，不要下來拿屋子裡的東西； 18 在田裡的人，不要返回去拿自己的衣服。 19 在那些日子裡，孕婦和哺乳的女人有禍了！ 20 你們要禱告，好讓你們逃難的時候不在冬天，也不在安息日。 21 因為那時將有大患難。這樣的患難從世界開始直到如今，從來沒有發生過，也絕不再發生。 22 如果那些日子不被減少，就沒有一個人[f]能得救。可是為了那些蒙揀選的人，那些日子將被減少。
23 「那時候，如果有人對你們說『看哪，基督在這裡！』或『他在那裡！』你們不要相信。 24 因為假基督們和假先知們會出現，行大神蹟和奇事，如果有可能，甚至迷惑那些蒙揀選的人。 25 看哪，我已經預先告訴你們了！ 26 所以，如果有人對你們說『看哪，基督在曠野裡！』你們不要出去；有人說：『看哪，他在內室裡！』你們也不要相信； 27 因為就像閃電從東邊發出，直照到西邊，人子的來臨也將要這樣。 28 屍體在哪裡，禿鷹就聚集在哪裡。
人子的來臨
29 「那些日子的患難一過去，
『太陽就要變黑，
月亮也不發光，
星辰要從天上墜落，
諸天的各勢力也將被震動。』
30 「那時候，人子的徵兆將要顯現在天上，地上的萬族都要捶胸哀哭。他們將要看見人子帶著極大的權能和榮耀，在天上的雲彩中來臨。 31 在嘹亮的號角聲中，他要差派他的天使們從四方，從天這邊到天那邊，召集他所揀選的人。
無花果樹的比喻
32 「你們要從無花果樹那裡學個比喻：當無花果樹的枝子發嫩長出葉子的時候，你們就知道夏天快到了。 33 照樣，當你們看見這一切的時候，你們就知道人子[g]快到了，就在門口了。 34 我確實地告訴你們：在這一切事發生之前，這世代絕不會過去。 35 天和地將要消逝，但是我的話絕不會消逝。
無人知道那日子和那時刻
36 「至於那日子和那時刻，沒有人知道，連諸天之上的天使們也不知道，子也不知道，[h]唯有父知道。 37 挪亞的那些日子怎樣，人子的來臨也將要怎樣。 38 在洪水以前的那些日子裡，人們繼續吃、喝、嫁、娶，直到挪亞進方舟的那一天。 39 他們毫不察覺，直到洪水到來，把一切沖走。人子的來臨，也將是這樣。 40 那時，兩個人在田裡，一個被接去，一個被留下。 41 兩個女人在磨石那裡推磨，一個被接去，一個被留下。 42 所以你們要警醒，因為你們不知道你們的主哪一天[i]回來。 43 不過你們應當知道這一點：一家的主人如果知道賊什麼時刻[j]來，他就會警醒，不讓他的房子被人鑽進。 44 你們為了這緣故也應當做好準備，因為在你們意想不到的時候，人子就來了。
忠僕與惡僕
45 「究竟誰是那又忠心又聰明的奴僕——受主人委任統管他家裡的人、按時給他們分糧的人呢？ 46 主人回來的時候，看見哪個奴僕這樣做，那個奴僕就蒙福了。 47 我確實地告訴你們：主人會委任他統管自己所擁有的一切。 48 但如果這惡奴心裡說『我的主人會遲延回來[k]』， 49 就動手毆打與他同做奴僕的，並且與醉酒的人一起吃喝， 50 那麼，這奴僕的主人就要在意想不到的日子、在他不知道的時刻回來， 51 並且會嚴厲懲罰他[l]，使他與那些偽善的人有同樣的下場。在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。

Matej 24
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Uništenje Hrama
(Mk 13,1-2; Lk 21,5-6)
24 Kad je Isus izašao iz Hrama i krenuo dalje, pristupili su mu učenici pokazujući mu hramske zgrade. 2 A on im je rekao: »Vidite li sve ovo? Istinu vam kažem: neće ostati ni kamen na kamenu. Svaki će se srušiti.«
Početak nevolja
(Mk 13,3-23; Lk 21,7-19)
3 Dok je Isus sjedio na Maslinskoj gori, njegovi su učenici došli k njemu pa mu rekli: »Kaži nam kada će se to dogoditi i koji će biti znak tvoga ponovnog dolaska i svršetka svijeta[a].«
4 Odgovorio im je: »Pazite da vas tko ne prevari, 5 jer mnogi će doći pozivajući se na moje ime i reći: ‘Ja sam Krist’ i mnoge će prevariti. 6 Čut ćete za ratove i glasine o ratovima što će se voditi. Nemojte se uznemiravati! To se mora dogoditi, ali to još nije kraj. 7 Da, narod će se boriti protiv drugog naroda i kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva. Bit će gladi i potresa posvuda. 8 Ali sve je to samo početak porođajnih muka. 9 U to će vas vrijeme ljudi predavati da budete kažnjeni i ubijat će vas. Svi će vas narodi mrziti jer ste moji sljedbenici. 10 I mnogi će tada izgubiti vjeru te će jedni druge predavati vlastima i mrziti se međusobno. 11 Pojavit će se mnogi lažni proroci i mnoge će zavesti. 12 Povećat će se bezakonje i ljubav će kod mnogih ohladnjeti. 13 No tko ustraje do kraja, bit će spašen. 14 A ova Radosna vijest o Božjem kraljevstvu propovijedat će se po cijelom svijetu kao svjedočanstvo svim narodima. I tada će doći kraj.
15 Vidjet ćete ‘grozotu koja donosi uništenje’[b], o kojoj je govorio prorok Daniel, kako stoji na svetome mjestu u Hramu. (Neka čitatelj razumije što to znači!)[c] 16 Tada, oni koji budu u Judeji, neka bježe u planine. 17 Tko bude na krovu kuće, neka ne silazi u kuću da nešto uzme. 18 A tko bude u polju, neka se ne vraća da uzme ogrtač. 19 Jao trudnicama i dojiljama u te dane! 20 Molite da vaš bijeg ne bude zimi ili na šabat, dan odmora. 21 U to će vrijeme nastati velika nevolja, kakve nije bilo od početka svijeta niti će je ikad biti. 22 I kad se ti dani ne bi skratili, nitko ne bi preživio. Ali, radi svojih izabranih, Bog će skratiti te dane. 23 Ako vam tko u to vrijeme kaže: ‘Gle! Krist je ovdje’ ili ‘Eno ga ondje’, nemojte mu vjerovati. 24 Jer, pojavit će se lažni mesije i lažni proroci i činit će čudesne znakove i čuda da bi zaveli, ako je moguće, čak i Božje izabranike. 25 Pazite! Unaprijed sam vas upozorio.
26 Stoga, ako vam kažu: ‘Evo, Krist je u pustinji’, ne idite onamo. Ili ako kažu: ‘Evo ga na tajnome mjestu’, nemojte im vjerovati. 27 Jer, dolazak Sina Čovječjega bit će očit poput munje što bljesne na istoku i rasvijetli sve do zapada. 28 Ako se negdje nalazi lešina, ondje se skupljaju lešinari.«
Isusov drugi dolazak
(Mk 13,24-27; Lk 21,25-28)
29 »Odmah nakon nevolje tih dana,
‘Sunce će se pomračiti,
a mjesec više neće sjati.
Zvijezde će padati s neba,
a nebeska će se tijela potresti.’[d]
30 Tada će se na nebu pojaviti znak dolaska Sina Čovječjega. Sva će plemena na Zemlji tada zaplakati i vidjet će Sina Čovječjega kako dolazi na nebeskim oblacima sa silom i velikom slavom. 31 A on će poslati svoje anđele s glasnom trubom i oni će okupiti njegove izabranike sa sve četiri strane svijeta[e], s jednoga kraja neba do drugoga.
32 Učite iz usporedbe o smokvi. Čim joj grane omekšaju i olistaju, znate da je ljeto blizu. 33 Isto tako, kad vidite sve ove događaje, znajte da je blizu vrijeme dolaska Sina Čovječjega. 34 Istinu vam kažem: sve će se to dogoditi još za života ovoga naraštaja. 35 Nebo i Zemlja će proći, ali moje riječi neće proći.
36 A o onom danu i satu nitko ništa ne zna, čak ni anđeli na Nebu, ni Sin, nego samo Otac. 37 Kao što je bilo u Noino vrijeme, tako će biti i u vrijeme dolaska Sina Čovječjega. 38 U vrijeme prije potopa ljudi su jeli i pili, ženili se i udavali, sve do dana kad je Noa ušao u arku. 39 I ništa nisu slutili dok potop nije došao i sve ih odnio. Tako će biti i prilikom dolaska Sina Čovječjega. 40 U to će vrijeme dvojica raditi u polju. Jedan od njih će se uzeti, a drugi ostaviti. 41 Dvije će žene u mlinu mljeti žito. Jedna od njih će se uzeti, a druga ostaviti.
42 Zato budite spremni, jer ne znate u koji dan dolazi vaš Gospodin. 43 I zapamtite ovo: da je vlasnik kuće znao u koje će doba noći doći lopov, ostao bi budan i ne bi dopustio da mu provali u kuću. 44 Zato i vi budite spremni, jer će Sin Čovječji doći kad ga ne očekujete.«
Dobar i zao sluga
(Lk 12,41-48)
45 »Tko je, dakle, onaj vjerni i razboriti sluga kojeg je gospodar postavio nad svim svojim slugama da im daje hranu u pravo vrijeme? 46 Blago onom slugi kojeg njegov gospodar, kada dođe, nađe gdje obavlja svoju dužnost. 47 Istinu vam kažem: gospodar će toga slugu postaviti da upravlja svim njegovim imanjem. 48 No ako zli sluga u sebi kaže: ‘Moj se gospodar još dugo neće vratiti’ 49 pa počne tući druge sluge te jesti i piti s pijancima, 50 doći će njegov gospodar u dan i sat kada ga ne očekuje. 51 Tada će ga njegov gospodar okrutno kazniti i dodijeliti mu mjesto među licemjerima, gdje će biti plač i škrgut zuba.«

Matthew 24
King James Version
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
24 As Jesus came out of the temple and was going away, his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 Then he asked them, ‘You see all these, do you not? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.’
Signs of the End of the Age
3 When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’ 4 Jesus answered them, ‘Beware that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, “I am the Messiah!”[a] and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines[b] and earthquakes in various places: 8 all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs.
Persecutions Foretold
9 ‘Then they will hand you over to be tortured and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10 Then many will fall away,[c] and they will betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But anyone who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this good news[d] of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come.
The Desolating Sacrilege
15 ‘So when you see the desolating sacrilege standing in the holy place, as was spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16 then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 17 someone on the housetop must not go down to take what is in the house; 18 someone in the field must not turn back to get a coat. 19 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, “Look! Here is the Messiah!”[e] or “There he is!”—do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs[f] and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Take note, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, “Look! He is in the wilderness”, do not go out. If they say, “Look! He is in the inner rooms”, do not believe it. 27 For 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 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 ‘Immediately after the suffering of those days
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see “the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven” with power and great glory. 31 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 heaven to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
32 ‘From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he[g] is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
The Necessity for Watchfulness
36 ‘But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[h] but only the Father. 37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day[i] your Lord is coming. 43 But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.
The Faithful or the Unfaithful Slave
45 ‘Who then is the faithful and wise slave, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give the other slaves[j] their allowance of food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked slave says to himself, “My master is delayed”, 49 and he begins to beat his fellow-slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know. 51 He will cut him in pieces[k] and put him with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
