1Et egressus Jesus de templo, ibat. Et accesserunt discipuli ejus, ut ostenderent ei ædificationes templi.
1As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.
2Ipse autem respondens dixit illis: Videtis hæc omnia? amen dico vobis, non relinquetur hic lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur.
2“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
3Sedente autem eo super montem Oliveti, accesserunt ad eum discipuli secreto, dicentes: Dic nobis, quando hæc erunt? et quod signum adventus tui, et consummationis sæculi?
3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”
4Et respondens Jesus, dixit eis: Videte ne quis vos seducat:
4Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.
5multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes: Ego sum Christus: et multos seducent.
5For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6Audituri enim estis prælia, et opiniones præliorum. Videte ne turbemini: oportet enim hæc fieri, sed nondum est finis:
6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7consurget enim gens in gentem, et regnum in regnum, et erunt pestilentiæ, et fames, et terræmotus per loca:
7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8hæc autem omnia initia sunt dolorum.
8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9Tunc tradent vos in tribulationem, et occident vos: et eritis odio omnibus gentibus propter nomen meum.
9Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10Et tunc scandalizabuntur multi, et invicem tradent, et odio habebunt invicem.
10At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,
11Et multi pseudoprophetæ surgent, et seducent multos.
11and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
12Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum:
12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.
13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14Et prædicabitur hoc Evangelium regni in universo orbe, in testimonium omnibus gentibus: et tunc veniet consummatio.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15Cum ergo videritis abominationem desolationis, quæ dicta est a Daniele propheta, stantem in loco sancto, qui legit, intelligat:
15So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),
16tunc qui in Judæa sunt, fugiant ad montes:
16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17et qui in tecto, non descendat tollere aliquid de domo sua:
17Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.
18et qui in agro, non revertatur tollere tunicam suam.
18And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
19Væ autem prægnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus !
19How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!
20Orate autem ut non fiat fuga vestra in hieme, vel sabbato:
20Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21erit enim tunc tribulatio magna, qualis non fuit ab initio mundi usque modo, neque fiet.
21For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.
22Et nisi breviati fuissent dies illi, non fieret salva omnis caro: sed propter electos breviabuntur dies illi.
22If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
23Tunc si quis vobis dixerit: Ecce hic est Christus, aut illic: nolite credere.
23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
24Surgent enim pseudochristi, et pseudoprophetæ: et dabunt signa magna, et prodigia, ita ut in errorem inducantur (si fieri potest) etiam electi.
24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
25Ecce prædixi vobis.
25See, I have told you in advance.
26Si ergo dixerint vobis: Ecce in deserto est, nolite exire; Ecce in penetralibus, nolite credere.
26So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27Sicut enim fulgur exit ab oriente, et paret usque in occidentem: ita erit et adventus Filii hominis.
27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28Ubicumque fuerit corpus, illic congregabuntur et aquilæ.
28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29Statim autem post tribulationem dierum illorum sol obscurabitur, et luna non dabit lumen suum, et stellæ cadent de cælo, et virtutes cælorum commovebuntur:
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’
30et tunc parebit signum Filii hominis in cælo: et tunc plangent omnes tribus terræ: et videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nubibus cæli cum virtute multa et majestate.
30At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31Et mittet angelos suos cum tuba, et voce magna: et congregabunt electos ejus a quatuor ventis, a summis cælorum usque ad terminos eorum.
31And 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 the heavens to the other.
32Ab arbore autem fici discite parabolam: cum jam ramus ejus tener fuerit, et folia nata, scitis quia prope est æstas:
32Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
33ita et vos cum videritis hæc omnia, scitote quia prope est, in januis.
33So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.
34Amen dico vobis, quia non præteribit generatio hæc, donec omnia hæc fiant.
34Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
35Cælum et terra transibunt, verba autem mea non præteribunt.
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36De die autem illa et hora nemo scit, neque angeli cælorum, nisi solus Pater.
36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37Sicut autem in diebus Noë, ita erit et adventus Filii hominis:
37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38sicut enim erant in diebus ante diluvium comedentes et bibentes, nubentes et nuptum tradentes, usque ad eum diem, quo intravit Noë in arcam,
38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.
39et non cognoverunt donec venit diluvium, et tulit omnes: ita erit et adventus Filii hominis.
39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40Tunc duo erunt in agro: unus assumetur, et unus relinquetur.
40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41Duæ molentes in mola: una assumetur, et una relinquetur.
41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42Vigilate ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus vester venturus sit.
42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
43Illud autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias qua hora fur venturus esset, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.
43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44Ideo et vos estote parati: quia qua nescitis hora Filius hominis venturus est.
44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45Quis, putas, est fidelis servus, et prudens, quem constituit dominus suus super familiam suam ut det illis cibum in tempore?
45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?
46Beatus ille servus, quem cum venerit dominus ejus, invenerit sic facientem.
46Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47Amen dico vobis, quoniam super omnia bona sua constituet eum.
47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48Si autem dixerit malus servus ille in corde suo: Moram fecit dominus meus venire:
48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
49et cœperit percutere conservos suos, manducet autem et bibat cum ebriosis:
49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50veniet dominus servi illius in die qua non sperat, et hora qua ignorat:
50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.
51et dividet eum, partemque ejus ponet cum hypocritis: illic erit fletus et stridor dentium.
51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
