When the power or authority comes is in the hands of teh unfit person, then doomsday will be near..
While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"
حدثنا محمد بن سنان قال: حدثنا فليح (ح). وحدثني إبراهيم بن المنذر قال: حدثنا محمد بن فليح قال: حدثني أبي قال: حدثني هلال بن علي، عن عطاء بن يسار، عن أبي هريرة قال:
بينما النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في مجلس يحدث القوم، جاءه أعرابي فقال: متى الساعة؟. فمضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يحدث، فقال بعض القوم: سمع ما قال فكره ما قال. وقال بعضهم: بل لم يسمع. حتى إذ قضى حديثه قال: (أين - أراه - السائل عن الساعة). قال: ها أنا يا رسول الله، قال: (فإذا ضيعت الأمانة فانتظر الساعة). قال: كيف إضاعتها؟ قال: (إذا وسد الأمر إلى غير أهله فانتظر الساعة).

If it's the wrong man in the position, then it's the end of days
The literal meaning should be that if responsibilities (positions) were assigned to the incompetent ones, then it's the end of days.
The point is to put the right person in the position that suits him most.
إذا وسد الأمر إلى غير أهله فانتظر الساعة
The point is to put the right person in the position that suits him most.
إذا وسد الأمر إلى غير أهله فانتظر الساعة

When the authority goes to wrong hand, you must pay the price.
I think the asker has already got a clear idea about the literal meaning of the sentence from the answers that have already been submitted. Now here some non-literal suggestions
When the authority goes to wrong hand, you must pay the price.
When authority is delegated to wrong people, wait for the consequences.
When you hand over power to incompetent people, you must suffer for this.
When you delegate power to the wrong people, the consequence will be so grave as if the day of judgement had come close to you.
