1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Hata alipokuwa akitoka hekaluni, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake alimwambia, Mwalimu, tazama, yalivyo mawe na majengo haya!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Wayaona majengo haya makubwa? Halitasalia hapa jiwe juu ya jiwe ambalo halitabomolewa.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Hata alipokuwa ameketi katika mlima wa Mizeituni, kuelekea hekalu Petro, na Yakobo, na Yohana, na Andrea walimwuliza kwa faragha,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
Tuambie, mambo hayo yatakuwa lini? Nayo ni nini dalili ya wakati, hayo yote yatakapokuwa karibu kutimia?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Yesu akaanza kuwaambia, Jihadharini, mtu asiwadanganye.
6 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and shall deceive many.
Wengi watakuja kwa jina langu, wakisema, Mimi ndiye, nao watadanganya wengi.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Nanyi mtakaposikia habari za vita na uvumi wa vita, msitishwe; hayo hayana budi kutukia, lakini ule mwisho bado.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Kwa maana taifa litaondoka kupigana na taifa, na ufalme kupigana na ufalme; kutakuwa na matetemeko ya nchi mahali mahali; kutakuwako na njaa; hayo ndiyo mwanzo wa utungu.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Nanyi jihadharini nafsi zenu; maana watawapeleka ninyi mabarazani; na katika masinagogi mtapigwa; nanyi mtachukuliwa mbele ya maliwali na wafalme kwa ajili yangu, kuwa ushuhuda kwao.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Na sharti Injili ihubiriwe kwanza katika mataifa yote.
11 But when they shall lead you , and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Na watakapowachukua ninyi, na kuwasaliti, msitafakari kwanza mtakayosema, lakini lo lote mtakalopewa saa ile, lisemeni; kwa maana si ninyi msemao, bali ni Roho Mtakatifu.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Na ndugu atamsaliti ndugu yake ili auawe, na baba atamsaliti mtoto, na watoto watashambulia wazazi wao, na kuwafisha.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Nanyi mtakuwa mkichukiwa na watu wote kwa ajili ya jina langu; lakini mwenye kusaburi hata mwisho, ndiye atakayeokoka.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains:
Lakini mlionapo chukizo la uharibifu likisimama pasipolipasa, (asomaye na afahamu), ndipo walio katika Uyahudi na wakimbilie milimani;
15 and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein , to take any thing out of his house:
na mtu aliye juu ya dari asishuke, wala asiingie kuchukua kitu nyumbani mwake;
16 and let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
naye aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kulichukua vazi lake.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Lakini ole wao wenye mimba, nao wanyonyeshao siku hizo!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Ila ombeni yasitokee hayo wakati wa baridi.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Kwa maana siku hizo zitakuwa na dhiki, jinsi isivyokuwa tangu mwanzo wa kuumba alipoumba Mungu hata sasa, wala haitakuwa kamwe.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Na kama Bwana asingalizikatiza siku hizo, asingeokoka mtu ye yote; lakini kwa ajili ya wateule aliowateua amezikatiza siku hizo.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Na wakati huo mtu akiwaambia, Tazama, Kristo yupo hapa, au yuko kule, msisadiki;
22 for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
kwa maana wataondoka Makristo wa uongo, na manabii wa uongo, watatoa ishara na maajabu, wapate kuwadanganya, kama yamkini, hata hao wateule.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Bali ninyi jihadharini; nimekwisha kuwaonya yote mbele.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Lakini siku zile, baada ya dhiki hiyo, jua litatiwa giza, na mwezi hatautoa mwanga wake.
25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
na nyota za mbinguni zitakuwa zikianguka, na nguvu zilizo mbinguni zitatikisika.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Hapo ndipo watakapomwona Mwana wa Adamu akija mawinguni kwa nguvu nyingi na utukufu.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Ndipo atakapowatuma malaika na kuwakusanya wateule wake toka pepo nne, toka upande wa mwisho wa nchi hata upande wa mwisho wa mbingu.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Kwa mtini jifunzeni mfano; tawi lake liishapo kuwa laini, na kuchanua majani, mwatambua ya kuwa wakati wa mavuno ni karibu;
29 so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
nanyi kadhalika, myaonapo mambo hayo yanaanza, tambueni ya kuwa yu karibu milangoni.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Amin, nawaambieni, Kizazi hiki hakitapita, hata hayo yote yatimie.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Mbingu na nchi zitapita; lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Walakini habari ya siku ile na saa ile hakuna aijuaye, hata malaika walio mbinguni, wala Mwana, ila Baba.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Angalieni, kesheni, [ombeni], kwa kuwa hamjui wakati ule utakapokuwapo.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mfano wake ni kama mtu mwenye kusafiri, ameiacha nyumba yake, amewapa watumwa wake amri, na kila mtu kazi yake, naye amemwamuru bawabu akeshe.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Kesheni basi, kwa maana hamjui ajapo bwana wa nyumba, kwamba ni jioni, au kwamba ni usiku wa manane, au awikapo jimbi, au asubuhi;
36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
asije akawasili ghafula akawakuta mmelala.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Na hilo niwaambialo ninyi, nawaambia wote, Kesheni.
