Mathayo 24

1 Yesu alitoka Hekaluni, na alipokuwa akienda zake, wanafunzi wake walimwendea, wakamwonyesha majengo ya Hekalu.

2 Yesu akawaambia, “Sawa, mnaweza kuyatazama haya yote! Kweli nawaambieni, hakuna hata jiwe moja litakalosalia hapa juu ya lingine; kila kitu kitaharibiwa.”

3 Yesu alipokuwa ameketi juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni, wanafunzi walimwendea faraghani, wakamwuliza, “Twambie mambo haya yatatukia lini? Ni ishara gani itakayoonyesha kuja kwako na mwisho wa nyakati?” (aiōn g165)

4 Yesu akawajibu, “Jihadharini msije mkadanganywa na mtu.

5 Maana wengi watatokea na kulitumia jina langu wakisema: Mimi ndiye Kristo, nao watawapotosha watu wengi.

6 Mtasikia juu ya vita na fununu za vita; lakini msifadhaike, maana hayo hayana budi kutokea, lakini mwisho wenyewe ungali bado.

7 Taifa moja litapigana na taifa lingine; ufalme mmoja utapigana na ufalme mwingine. Hapa na pale patakuwa na njaa na mitetemeko ya ardhi.

11 Watatokea manabii wengi wa uongo watakaowapotosha watu wengi.

12 Kwa sababu ya ongezeko la uhalifu, upendo wa watu wengi utafifia.

14 Ila, kabla ya mwisho kufika, hii Habari Njema ya Ufalme wa Mungu itahubiriwa ulimwenguni kote kama ushuhuda kwa mataifa yote.

17 Aliye juu ya paa la nyumba yake asishuke kuchukua kitu nyumbani mwake.

18 Aliye shambani asirudi nyuma kuchukua vazi lake.

21 Maana wakati huo kutakuwa na dhiki kuu ambayo haijapata kuwako tangu mwanzo wa ulimwengu mpaka leo, wala haitapata kutokea tena.

22 Kama siku hizo hazingalipunguzwa, hakuna binadamu yeyote ambaye angeokoka; lakini siku hizo zitapunguzwa kwa ajili ya wale walioteuliwa.

24 Maana watatokea kina Kristo wa uongo na manabii wa uongo. Watafanya ishara kubwa na maajabu ya kuweza kuwapotosha ikiwezekana hata wateule wa Mungu.

25 Sikilizeni, nimekwisha kuwaonya kabla ya wakati.

27 maana, kama vile umeme uangazavyo toka mashariki hadi magharibi, ndivyo kutakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Mtu.

29 “Mara baada ya dhiki ya siku hizo, jua litatiwa giza, mwezi hautaangaza, nyota zitaanguka kutoka angani, na nguvu za mbingu zitatikiswa.

30 Kisha, ishara ya Mwana wa Mtu itaonekana angani, na hapo makabila yote duniani yatalalamika; watamwona Mwana wa Mtu akija juu ya mawingu ya angani mwenye nguvu na utukufu mwingi.

31 Naye atawatuma malaika wake wenye tarumbeta la kuvuma sana, nao watawakusanya wateule wake kutoka pande zote nne za dunia, toka mwisho huu wa mbingu hadi mwisho huu.

34 Nawaambieni kweli, kizazi hiki hakitapita kabla ya mambo hayo yote kutukia.

35 Naam, mbingu na dunia zitapita, lakini maneno yangu hayatapita kamwe.

36 “Lakini, juu ya siku au saa hiyo, hakuna mtu ajuaye itakuja lini; wala malaika wa mbinguni, wala Mwana, ila Baba peke yake ndiye ajuaye.

37 Kwa maana kama ilivyokuwa nyakati za Noa, ndivyo itakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Mtu.

aparaM nohe vidyamAne yAdRzamabhavat tAdRzaM manujasutasyAgamanakAlepi bhaviSyati|

38 Maana nyakati hizo, kabla ya gharika kuu, watu walikuwa wakila na kunywa, wakioa na kuolewa, mpaka Noa alipoingia ndani ya ile safina.

39 Hawakujua kuna nini mpaka ile gharika ilipotokea, ikawakumba wote. Ndivyo itakavyokuwa wakati Mwana wa Mtu atakapokuja.

40 Wakati huo watu wawili watakuwa shambani; mmoja atachukuliwa na mwingine ataachwa.

43 Lakini kumbukeni jambo hili: kama mwenye nyumba angejua siku mwizi atakapofika, angekesha, wala hangeiacha nyumba yake ivunjwe.

44 Kwa hiyo, nanyi pia muwe tayari, kwa maana Mwana wa Mtu atakuja saa msiyoitazamia.”

45 Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Ni nani basi mtumishi mwaminifu na mwenye busara, ambaye bwana wake atamweka juu ya watu wake, awape chakula kwa wakati wake?

47 Kweli nawaambieni, atamweka mtumishi huyo aisimamie mali yake yote.
