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.
Matei 24
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Dărâmarea Templului
24 La ieşirea(A) din Templu, pe când mergea Isus, ucenicii Lui s-au apropiat de El ca să-I arate clădirile Templului. 2 Dar Isus le-a zis: „Vedeţi voi toate aceste lucruri? Adevărat vă spun că nu(B) va rămâne aici piatră pe piatră care să nu fie dărâmată.” 3 El a şezut jos, pe Muntele Măslinilor. Şi ucenicii(C) Lui au venit la El, la o parte, şi I-au zis: „Spune-ne(D), când se vor întâmpla aceste lucruri? Şi care va fi semnul venirii Tale şi al sfârşitului veacului acestuia?” 4 Drept răspuns, Isus le-a zis: „Băgaţi de seamă(E) să nu vă înşele cineva. 5 Fiindcă(F) vor veni mulţi în Numele Meu şi vor zice: ‘Eu sunt Hristosul!’ Şi(G) vor înşela pe mulţi. 6 Veţi auzi de războaie şi veşti de războaie: vedeţi să nu vă înspăimântaţi, căci toate aceste lucruri trebuie să se întâmple. Dar sfârşitul tot nu va fi atunci. 7 Un(H) neam se va scula împotriva altui neam, şi o împărăţie, împotriva altei împărăţii şi, pe alocurea, vor fi cutremure de pământ, foamete şi ciumi. 8 Dar toate aceste lucruri nu vor fi decât începutul durerilor. 9 Atunci(I) vă vor da să fiţi chinuiţi şi vă vor omorî; veţi fi urâţi de toate neamurile pentru Numele Meu. 10 Atunci, mulţi vor(J) cădea, se vor vinde unii pe alţii şi se vor urî unii pe alţii. 11 Se vor scula mulţi(K) proroci mincinoşi şi vor(L) înşela pe mulţi. 12 Şi, din pricina înmulţirii fărădelegii, dragostea celor mai mulţi se va răci. 13 Dar(M) cine va răbda până la sfârşit va fi mântuit. 14 Evanghelia(N) aceasta a Împărăţiei va(O) fi propovăduită în toată lumea, ca să slujească de mărturie tuturor neamurilor. Atunci va veni sfârşitul.
Pustiirea Ierusalimului şi venirea Fiului omului
15 De aceea(P), când veţi vedea urâciunea pustiirii, despre care a vorbit prorocul Daniel(Q), aşezată în Locul Sfânt – cine(R) citeşte să înţeleagă! – 16 atunci, cei ce vor fi în Iudeea să fugă la munţi; 17 cine va fi pe acoperişul casei să nu se pogoare să-şi ia lucrurile din casă; 18 şi cine va fi la câmp să nu se întoarcă să-şi ia haina. 19 Vai(S) de femeile care vor fi însărcinate şi de cele ce vor da ţâţă în zilele acelea! 20 Rugaţi-vă ca fuga voastră să nu fie iarna, nici într-o zi de Sabat. 21 Pentru că(T) atunci va fi un necaz aşa de mare, cum n-a fost niciodată de la începutul lumii până acum şi nici nu va mai fi. 22 Şi dacă zilele acelea n-ar fi fost scurtate, nimeni n-ar scăpa; dar, din pricina celor aleşi, zilele acelea vor fi scurtate. 23 Atunci(U), dacă vă va spune cineva: ‘Iată, Hristosul este aici sau acolo!’, să nu-l credeţi. 24 Căci se(V) vor scula hristoşi mincinoşi şi proroci mincinoşi, vor face semne mari şi minuni, până acolo încât să înşele, dacă(W) va fi cu putinţă, chiar şi pe cei aleşi. 25 Iată că v-am spus mai dinainte. 26 Deci, dacă vă vor zice: ‘Iată-L în pustie’, să nu vă duceţi acolo! ‘Iată-L în odăiţe ascunse’, să nu credeţi. 27 Căci(X), cum iese fulgerul de la răsărit şi se vede până la apus, aşa va fi şi venirea Fiului omului. 28 Oriunde(Y) va fi stârvul[a], acolo se vor aduna vulturii. 29 Îndată(Z), după acele zile de necaz, soarele se(AA) va întuneca, luna nu-şi va mai da lumina ei, stelele vor cădea din cer şi puterile cerurilor vor fi clătinate. 30 Atunci(AB) se va arăta în cer semnul Fiului omului, toate(AC) seminţiile pământului se vor boci şi(AD) vor vedea pe Fiul omului venind pe norii cerului cu putere şi cu o mare slavă. 31 El(AE) va trimite pe îngerii Săi cu trâmbiţa răsunătoare şi vor aduna pe aleşii Lui din cele patru vânturi, de la o margine a cerurilor până la cealaltă. 32 De la smochin învăţaţi pilda(AF) lui: Când îi frăgezeşte şi înfrunzeşte mlădiţa, ştiţi că(AG) vara este aproape. 33 Tot aşa, şi voi, când veţi vedea toate aceste lucruri, să ştiţi că Fiul omului este aproape, este chiar la uşi. 34 Adevărat vă spun că nu(AH) va trece neamul acesta până se vor întâmpla toate aceste lucruri. 35 Cerul(AI) şi pământul vor trece, dar cuvintele Mele nu vor trece.
Îndemn la veghere
36 Despre(AJ) ziua aceea şi despre ceasul acela, nu ştie nimeni: nici îngerii din ceruri, nici Fiul, ci numai(AK) Tatăl. 37 Cum s-a întâmplat în zilele lui Noe, aidoma se va întâmpla şi la venirea Fiului omului. 38 În adevăr, cum(AL) era în zilele dinainte de potop, când mâncau şi beau, se însurau şi se măritau până în ziua când a intrat Noe în corabie 39 şi n-au ştiut nimic, până când a venit potopul şi i-a luat pe toţi, tot aşa va fi şi la venirea Fiului omului. 40 Atunci(AM), din doi bărbaţi care vor fi la câmp, unul va fi luat şi altul va fi lăsat. 41 Din două femei care vor măcina la moară, una va fi luată şi alta va fi lăsată. 42 Vegheaţi dar(AN), pentru că nu ştiţi în ce zi va veni Domnul vostru. 43 Să ştiţi(AO) că, dacă ar şti stăpânul casei la ce strajă din noapte va veni hoţul, ar veghea şi n-ar lăsa să-i spargă casa. 44 De aceea(AP), şi voi fiţi gata; căci Fiul omului va veni în ceasul în care nu vă gândiţi. 45 Care este deci(AQ) robul credincios şi înţelept, pe care l-a pus stăpânul său peste ceata slugilor sale, ca să le dea hrana la vremea hotărâtă? 46 Ferice(AR) de robul acela, pe care stăpânul său, la venirea lui, îl va găsi făcând aşa! 47 Adevărat vă spun că(AS) îl va pune peste toate averile sale. 48 Dar, dacă este un rob rău, care zice în inima lui: ‘Stăpânul meu zăboveşte să vină!’ 49 Dacă va începe să bată pe tovarăşii lui de slujbă şi să mănânce şi să bea cu beţivii, 50 stăpânul robului aceluia va veni în ziua în care el nu se aşteaptă şi în ceasul pe care nu-l ştie, 51 îl va tăia în două, şi soarta lui va fi soarta făţarnicilor; acolo(AT) vor fi plânsul şi scrâşnirea dinţilor.

Matthew 24
American Standard Version
24 And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered and 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 on 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 [a]coming, and of [b]the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs 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 earthquakes in divers places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of travail. 9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many stumble, and shall [c]deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. 12 And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 13 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And [d]this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole [e]world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was [f]spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [g]the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 18 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe [h]it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you beforehand. 26 If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe [i]it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the [j]coming of the Son of man. 28 Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the [k]eagles be gathered together.
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall 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 on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels [l]with [m]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 from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that [n]he is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, [o]neither the Son, but the Father only. 37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the [p]coming of the Son of man. 38 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 ark, 39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the [q]coming of the Son of man. 40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41 two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43 [r]But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be [s]broken through. 44 Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is the faithful and wise [t]servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46 Blessed is that [u]servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 48 But if that evil [v]servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that [w]servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 51 and shall [x]cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
