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

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

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

²And he saw 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, This poor widow 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 did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did 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 offerings, 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 which there shall not be left here 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, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to 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 led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

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

⁹And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.

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 there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs 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 things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

¹³Hii itawapeni fursa ya kushuhudia Habari Njema.

¹³It shall turn out unto 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 beforehand how to 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 withstand or to gainsay.

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

¹⁶But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, 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.

¹⁸And not a hair of your head shall perish.

¹⁹Kwa uvumilivu wenu, mtayaokoa maisha yenu.

¹⁹In your patience ye shall win your souls.

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

²⁰But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

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

²¹Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

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

²²For these are 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.

²³Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto 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 captive into all the 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 sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

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

²⁶men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens 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."

²⁸But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because 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 it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

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

³¹Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

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 things be accomplished.

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.

³⁴But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

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

³⁵for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the 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."

³⁶But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail 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 every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.

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

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