Matthew 24:36-42 GNB
"No one knows, however, when that day and hour will come---neither the angels in heaven nor the Son; the Father alone knows. (37) The coming of the Son of Man will be like what happened in the time of Noah. (38) In the days before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up to the very day Noah went into the boat; (39) yet they did not realize what was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. (40) At that time two men will be working in a field: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. (41) Two women will be at a mill grinding meal: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. (42) Watch out, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come.

Matthew 24:36-42 ALT
"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, except My Father only. (37) "But just as [in] the days of Noah, in this way also will be the Arrival of the Son of Humanity. (38) "For just as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark, (39) and they did not know until the flood came and swept all away, in this way also will be the Arrival of the Son of Humanity. (40) "Then two [people] will be in the field, one is taken, and one is left behind. (41) "Two women [will be] grinding in the mill, one is taken, and one is left behind. (42) "Therefore, keep watching! Because you do not know in what hour your Lord is coming.

Matthew 24:36-42 MWT
36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned; 41 two women will be grinding at the hand mill: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
