LSV Literal Standard Version

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and His disciples came near to show Him the buildings of the temple,

1 Y SALIDO Jesús, íbase del templo; y se llegaron sus discípulos, para mostrarle los edificios del templo.

2 and Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly I say to you, there may not be left here a stone on a stone that will not be thrown down.”

2 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Veis todo esto? de cierto os digo, que no será dejada aquí piedra sobre piedra, que no sea destruída.

3 And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?”

3 Y sentándose él en el monte de las Olivas, se llegaron á él los discípulos aparte, diciendo: Dinos, ¿cuándo serán estas cosas, y qué señal [habrá] de tu venida, y del fin del mundo?

4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Take heed that no one may lead you astray,

4 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Mirad que nadie os engañe.

5 for many will come in My Name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray,

5 Porque vendrán muchos en mi nombre, diciendo: Yo soy el Cristo; y á muchos engañarán.

6 and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

6 Y oiréis guerras, y rumores de guerras: mirad que no os turbéis; porque es menester que todo [esto] acontezca; mas aún no es el fin.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places;

7 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá pestilencias, y hambres, y terremotos por los lugares.

8 and all these [are the] beginning of travails;

8 Y todas estas cosas, principio de dolores.

9 then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My Name;

9 Entonces os entregarán para ser afligidos, y os matarán; y seréis aborrecidos de todas las gentes por causa de mi nombre.

10 and then will many be stumbled, and they will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

10 Y muchos entonces serán escandalizados; y se entregarán unos á otros, y unos á otros se aborrecerán.

11 And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray;

11 Y muchos falsos profetas se levantarán y engañarán á muchos.

12 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold;

12 Y por haberse multiplicado la maldad, la caridad de muchos se resfriará.

13 but he who endured to the end, he will be saved;

13 Mas el que perseverare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.

14 and this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations, and then will the end arrive.

14 Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, por testimonio á todos los Gentiles; y entonces vendrá el fin.

15 Whenever, therefore, you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)

15 Por tanto, cuando viereis la abominación del asolamiento, que fué dicha por Daniel profeta, que estará en el lugar santo, (el que lee, entienda),

16 then those in Judea—let them flee to the mountains;

16 Entonces los que están en Judea, huyan á los montes;

17 he on the housetop—do not let him come down to take up anything out of his house;

17 Y el que sobre el terrado, no descienda á tomar algo de su casa;

18 and he in the field—do not let him turn back to take his garments.

18 Y el que en el campo, no vuelva atrás á tomar sus vestidos.

19 And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

19 Mas ¡ay de las preñadas, y de las que crían en aquellos días!

20 and pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath;

20 Orad, pues, que vuestra huída no sea en invierno ni en sábado;

21 for there will then be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor may be.

21 Porque habrá entonces grande aflicción, cual no fué desde el principio del mundo hasta ahora, ni será.

22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen will those days be shortened.

22 Y si aquellos días no fuesen acortados, ninguna carne sería salva; mas por causa de los escogidos, aquellos días serán acortados.

23 Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;

23 Entonces, si alguno os dijere: He aquí está el Cristo, ó allí, no creáis.

24 for there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

24 Porque se levantarán falsos Cristos, y falsos profetas, y darán señales grandes y prodigios; de tal manera que engañarán, si [es] posible, aun á los escogidos.

25 Behold, I told you beforehand.

25 He aquí os [lo] he dicho antes.

26 If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness, you may not go forth; Behold, in the inner chambers, you may not believe;

26 Así que, si os dijeren: He aquí en el desierto está; no salgáis: He aquí en las cámaras; no creáis.

27 for as the lightning comes forth from the east, and appears to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;

27 Porque como el relámpago que sale del oriente y se muestra hasta el occidente, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre.

28 for wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together.

28 Porque donde quiera que estuviere el cuerpo muerto, allí se juntarán las águilas.

29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

29 Y luego después de la aflicción de aquellos días, el sol se obscurecerá, y la luna no dará su lumbre, y las estrellas caerán del cielo, y las virtudes de los cielos serán conmovidas.

30 and then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the tribes of the earth strike the breast, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven, with power and much glory;

30 Y entonces se mostrará la señal del Hijo del hombre en el cielo; y entonces lamentarán todas las tribus de la tierra, y verán al Hijo del hombre que vendrá sobre las nubes del cielo, con grande poder y gloria.

31 and He will send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof.

31 Y enviará sus ángeles con gran voz de trompeta, y juntarán sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, de un cabo del cielo hasta el otro.

32 And from the fig tree learn the allegory: when its branch may have already become tender, and it may put forth the leaves, you know that summer [is] near,

32 De la higuera aprended la parábola: Cuando ya su rama se enternece, y las hojas brotan, sabéis que el verano está cerca.

33 so also you, when you may see all these, you know that it is near—at the doors.

33 Así también vosotros, cuando viereis todas estas cosas, sabed que está cercano, á las puertas.

34 Truly I say to you, this generation may not pass away until all these may come to pass.

34 De cierto os digo, [que] no pasará esta generación, que todas estas cosas no acontezcan.

35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

35 El cielo y la tierra pasarán, mas mis palabras no pasarán.

36 And concerning that day and the hour no one has known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except My Father only;

36 Empero del día y hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles de los cielos, sino mi Padre solo.

37 and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man;

37 Mas como los días de Noé, así será la venida del Hijo del hombre.

38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark,

38 Porque como en los días antes del diluvio estaban comiendo y bebiendo, casándose y dando en casamiento, hasta el día que Noé entró en el arca,

39 and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.

39 Y no conocieron hasta que vino el diluvio y llevó á todos, así será también la venida del Hijo del hombre.

40 Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left;

40 Entonces estarán dos en el campo; el uno será tomado, y el otro será dejado:

41 two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.

41 Dos mujeres moliendo á un molinillo; la una será tomada, y la otra será dejada.

42 Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes;

42 Velad pues, porque no sabéis á qué hora ha de venir vuestro Señor.

43 and know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and did not permit his house to be broken through;

43 Esto empero sabed, que si el padre de la familia supiese á cuál vela el ladrón había de venir, velaría, y no dejaría minar su casa.

44 because of this also you, become ready, because in what hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.

44 Por tanto, también vosotros estad apercibidos; porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir á la hora que no pensáis.

45 Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

45 ¿Quién pues es el siervo fiel y prudente, al cual puso su señor sobre su familia para que les dé alimento á tiempo?

46 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;

46 Bienaventurado aquel siervo, al cual, cuando su señor viniere, le hallare haciendo así.

47 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his substance.

47 De cierto os digo, que sobre todos sus bienes le pondrá.

48 And if that evil servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

48 Y si aquel siervo malo dijere en su corazón: Mi señor se tarda en venir:

49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken,

49 Y comenzare á herir á sus consiervos, y aun á comer y á beber con los borrachos;

50 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour of which he does not know,

50 Vendrá el señor de aquel siervo en el día que no espera, y á la hora que no sabe,

51 and will cut him off, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”

51 Y le cortará por medio, y pondrá su parte con los hipócritas: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

For inasmuch as He said, "Your house is left desolate," and had previously forewarned them of many grievous things; therefore the disciples having heard these things, as though marvelling at it, came unto Him, showing the beauty of the temple, and wondering, if so much beauty was to be destroyed, and materials so costly, and variety of workmanship past utterance; …
