Matthew 24

1 As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

1 耶稣离开圣殿，正往外走的时候，门徒上前把圣殿建筑指给祂看。

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.”

2 耶稣对他们说：“你们看见这殿宇了吗？我实在告诉你们，将来它要被完全拆毁，找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”

3 While 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?”

3 耶稣正坐在橄榄山上，门徒私下来问祂：“请告诉我们，这事什么时候会发生？你再来和世界末日的时候会有什么预兆？”

4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

4 耶稣回答说：“你们要小心，免得被人迷惑。

5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

5 因为将来会有许多人冒我的名来，说，‘我是基督’，欺骗许多人。

6 You 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.

6 你们听见战争爆发、战讯频传时，切不可惊慌，因为这些事必然发生，只是末日还没有到。

7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

7 民族将攻打民族，国家将攻打国家，各处将有饥荒和地震。

8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

8 这些只是灾难 的开始。

9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

9 “那时，你们将遭人迫害、杀害，并因我的名而被万民憎恨。

10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

10 那时，许多人会放弃信仰，互相出卖，彼此憎恨。

11 and many false prophets will arise and deceive many.

11 许多假先知也会出现，迷惑许多人。

12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

12 由于罪恶泛滥，许多人的爱心逐渐冷淡。

13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

13 但坚忍到底的必定得救。

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

14 这天国的福音将传遍天下，让万民都听见，然后末日才会来临。

15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

15 “当你们看见但以理先知所说的‘那带来毁灭的可憎者’ 站立在圣地的时候（读者须会意），

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

16 犹太地区的人要逃到山上去，

17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house.

17 在屋顶上的人不要下来拿屋内的东西，

18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

18 在田间的人也不要回家取外衣。

19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

19 那时，孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了！

20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

20 你们要祈求上帝，不要让你们逃难的时候遇上冬天或安息日。

21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

21 因为那时世上将有空前绝后的大灾难。

22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

22 如果不缩短灾期，恐怕没有人能活命。但为了上帝的选民，灾期必被缩短。

23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

23 “那时，如果有人对你们说，‘看啊，基督在这里！’或说，‘基督在那里！’你们不要相信。

24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

24 因为假基督和假先知将出现，行很大的神迹奇事来迷惑人，如果可能，甚至要迷惑上帝的选民。

25 See, I have told you in advance.

25 你们要记住，我已经预先告诉你们了。

26 So 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.

26 “因此，如果有人对你们说，‘看啊，基督在旷野！’你们不要出去；或者说，‘看啊，基督在内室！’你们也不要相信。

27 For 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.

27 因为人子降临时的情形就像闪电从东方发出一直照到西方。

28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

28 尸体在哪里，秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。

29 Immediately 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.’

29 “当灾难的日子一过， “‘太阳昏暗， 月亮无光， 星宿陨落， 天体震动。’

30 At 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.

30 “那时，天上会出现人子降临的预兆，地上的万族都要哀哭，他们将看见人子带着能力和极大的荣耀驾着天上的云降临。

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 the heavens to the other.

31 在响亮的号声中，祂将差遣天使从四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂拣选的人。

32 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

32 “你们可以从无花果树学个道理。当无花果树发芽长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天快来了。

33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

33 同样，当你们看见这一切事发生时，就知道人子快来了，就在门口。

34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

34 我实在告诉你们，这个世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

35 天地都要消逝，但我的话永不消逝。

36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

36 “但没有人知道那日子和时辰何时来到，连天上的天使也不知道，人子 也不知道，只有天父知道。

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

37 人子降临时的情形将像挪亚的时代。

38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

38 洪水来临之前的日子里，人们吃吃喝喝，男婚女嫁，一直到挪亚进方舟那天；

39 And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

39 他们懵然不知，直到洪水来把他们全冲走了。人子降临时的情形也是这样。

40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

40 那时，两个人在田里，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下；

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

41 两个女人推磨，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下。

42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

42 所以，你们要警醒，因为你们不知道你们的主会在哪一天来。

43 But 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.

43 你们都知道，家主若知道贼会在夜里几点来，就必警醒，不让贼入屋偷窃。

44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

44 同样，你们也要做好准备，因为在你们意想不到的时候，人子就来了。

45 Who 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?

45 “那么，谁是那个受主人委托管理家中大小仆役、按时分粮食给他们、又忠心又精明的奴仆呢？

46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

46 主人回家时，看见他尽忠职守，他就有福了。

47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

47 我实在告诉你们，主人一定会把所有产业都交给他管理。

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

48 但如果奴仆邪恶，以为主人不会那么快回来，

49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

49 就动手殴打同伴，跟醉汉一起吃喝玩乐，

50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

50 主人会在他想不到的日子、不知道的时辰回来，

51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 严厉地惩罚 他，判他和伪君子同样的罪。他必在那里哀哭切齿。
