Mattityahu 24:42-51 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

42. So be shomer, be on your guard, because you do not have daas on which day will be the Bias of [Moshiach] Adoneichem (your L-rd).

43. But understand this: if the Baal Bayit had known in which watch the ganav is coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed his bais to be dug through.

44. For this reason also you be shomer, for in the hour when you do not think, then will be the Bias HaMoshiach (the Coming of the Ben HaAdam, DANIEL 7:13).

45. Who then is the faithful and wise eved (servant), whom the Adon appointed over the household servants to give the other servants their okhel at the prescribed time?

46. Ashrey (happy) is that eved whom, when his Adon comes, finds him so doing.

47. Omein, I say to you, the Adon will ordain him to oversee all his possessions.

48. But if that wicked slave says in his heart, Adoni (My Master) is dragging his feet,

49. and that slave begins to beat his fellow avadim (slaves), and he eats and drinks with the ones getting drunk,

50. the Adon of that slave will come on a day which he does not expect and at an hour of which he does not have daas.

51. And the Adon will cut in two that slave, and the slave's portion he will put with the tzevuim (hypocrites). There will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
