¹Yesu alitazama kwa makini, akawaona matajiri walivyokuwa wanatia sadaka zao katika hazina ya Hekalu,

¹And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

²akamwona pia mama mmoja mjane akitumbukiza humo sarafu mbili ndogo.

²And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

³Basi, akasema, "Nawaambieni kweli, mama huyu mjane ametia zaidi katika hazina kuliko wote.

³And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

⁴Kwa maana, wengine wote wametoa sadaka zao kutokana na ziada ya mali zao, lakini huyu mama, ingawa ni maskini, ametoa kila kitu alichohitaji kwa kuishi."

⁴For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

⁵Baadhi ya wanafunzi walikuwa wanazungumza juu ya Hekalu, jinsi lilivyopambwa kwa mawe ya thamani, pamoja na sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Mungu. Yesu akasema,

⁵And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

⁶"Haya yote mnayoyaona--zitakuja siku ambapo hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitaharibiwa."

⁶As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

⁷Basi, wakamwuliza, "Mwalimu, mambo hayo yatatokea lini? Na ni ishara gani zitakazoonyesha kwamba karibu mambo hayo yatokee?"

⁷And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

⁸Yesu akawajibu, "Jihadharini, msije mkadanganyika. Maana wengi watatokea na kulitumia jina langu wakisema: Mimi ndiye, na, Wakati ule umekaribia. Lakini ninyi msiwafuate!

⁸And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

⁹Basi, mtakaposikia habari za vita na misukosuko, msitishike; maana ni lazima hayo yatokee kwanza, lakini mwisho wa yote, bado."

⁹But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

¹⁰Halafu akaendelea kusema: "Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine, na ufalme mmoja utapigana na ufalme mwingine.

¹⁰Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

¹¹Kila mahali kutakuwa na mitetemeko mikubwa ya ardhi, kutakuwa na njaa na tauni. Kutakuwa na vituko vya kutisha na ishara kubwa angani.

¹¹And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

¹²Lakini kabla ya kutokea hayo yote, watawatieni nguvuni, watawatesa na kuwapelekeni katika masunagogi na kuwatia gerezani; mtapelekwa mbele ya wafalme na watawala kwa ajili ya jina langu.

¹²But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

¹³Hii itawapeni fursa ya kushuhudia Habari Njema.

¹³And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹⁴Muwe na msimamo huu mioyoni mwenu: hakuna kufikiria kabla ya wakati juu ya jinsi mtakavyojitetea,

¹⁴Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

¹⁵kwa sababu mimi mwenyewe nitawapeni ufasaha wa maneno na hekima, hivyo kwamba zenu hawataweza kustahimili wala kupinga.

¹⁵For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

¹⁶Wazazi wenu, ndugu, jamaa na rafiki zenu watawasaliti ninyi; na baadhi yenu mtauawa.

¹⁶And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

¹⁷Watu wote watawachukieni kwa sababu ya jina langu.

¹⁷And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

¹⁸Lakini, hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu hautapotea.

¹⁸But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

¹⁹Kwa uvumilivu wenu, mtayaokoa maisha yenu.

¹⁹In your patience possess ye your souls.

²⁰"Mtakapoona mji wa Yerusalemu umezungukwa na majeshi, ndipo mtambue ya kwamba wakati umefika ambapo mji huo utaharibiwa.

²⁰And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

²¹Hapo walioko Yudea wakimbilie milimani; wale walio mjini watoke; na wale walio mashambani wasirudi mjini.

²¹Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

²²Kwa maana siku hizo ni siku za adhabu, ili yote yaliyoandikwa yatimie.

²²For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³Ole wao waja wazito na wanyonyeshao siku hizo! Kwa maana kutakuwa na dhiki kubwa katika nchi, na hasira ya Mungu itawajia watu hawa.

²³But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

²⁴Wengine watauawa kwa upanga, wengine watachukuliwa mateka katika nchi zote; na mji wa Yerusalemu utakanyagwa na watu wa mataifa mengine, hadi nyakati zao zitakapotimia.

²⁴And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵"Kutakuwa na ishara katika jua na mwezi na nyota. Mataifa duniani yatakuwa na dhiki kwa sababu ya wasiwasi kutokana na mshindo wa mawimbi ya bahari.

²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

²⁶Watu watazirai kwa sababu ya uoga, wakitazamia mambo yatakayoupata ulimwengu; kwa maana nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.

²⁶Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷Halafu, watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika wingu, mwenye nguvu na utukufu mwingi.

²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸Wakati mambo hayo yatakapoanza kutukia, simameni na kuinua vichwa vyenu juu, kwa maana ukombozi wenu umekaribia."

²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹Kisha akawaambia mfano: "Angalieni mtini na miti mingine yote.

²⁹And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

³⁰Mnapoona kwamba imeanza kuchipua majani, mwatambua kwamba wakati wa kiangazi umekaribia.

³⁰When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

³¹Vivyo hivyo, mtakapoona mambo hayo yanatendeka, mtatambua kwamba Ufalme wa Mungu umekaribia.

³¹So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

³²Nawaambieni hakika, kizazi hiki cha sasa hakitapita kabla ya hayo yote kutendeka.

³²Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

³³Mbingu na dunia vitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴"Muwe macho, mioyo yenu isije ikalemewa na anasa, ulevi na shughuli za maisha haya. La sivyo, Siku ile itawajieni ghafla.

³⁴And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

³⁵Kwa maana itawajia kama mtego, wote wanaoishi duniani pote.

³⁵For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

³⁶Muwe waangalifu basi, na salini daima ili muweze kupata nguvu ya kupita salama katika mambo haya yote yatakayotokea, na kusimama mbele ya Mwana wa Mtu."

³⁶Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

³⁷Wakati wa mchana, siku hizo, Yesu alikuwa akifundisha watu Hekaluni; lakini usiku alikuwa akienda katika mlima wa Mizeituni na kukaa huko.

³⁷And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

³⁸Watu wote walikuwa wanakwenda Hekaluni asubuhi na mapema, wapate kumsikiliza.

³⁸And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
