1 UJesu wathi ekhangela wabona izinothi zifaka iminikelo yazo esitsheni somnikelo.
Yesu walalangishisha, walabona bantu babile kababika bipo byabo mucakubikamo bipo byamali mu Ng'anda ya Lesa.
2 Wabona njalo umfelokazi ongumyanga efaka okuzinhlamvana kwethusi okubili.
Walabona mutukashi mukalubingi kabikamo tumali tubili.
3 Wathi, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ngithi umfelokazi lo ongumyanga unikele okudlula bonke abanye.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga uyu mukalubingi wapenga labikimo bupe bwapitapo bambi bonse.
4 Bonke lababantu banikele izipho zabo ngokwenotho yabo, kodwa yena ebuyangeni bakhe ufake konke abelakho.”
Pakwinga bonse aba, balafunyu pa mali angi ngobakute, nsombi neye mubupenshi bwakendi labikimo mali onse ngakutenga mung'anda yakendi.”
5 Abanye abafundi bakhe babekhulukhuluma ngokubalazwa kwethempeli ngamatshe amahle langezipho ezazinikelwe kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa uJesu wathi,
Beshikwiya nabambi bali kabamba pamakani a Ng'anda ya Lesa eti balaibaka ne mabwe eshikuboneka cena, kayi nebipo byakutwala kuli Lesa. Lino Yesu walambeti,
6 “Mayelana lalokhu elikubona lapha, sizafika isikhathi lapho okungeyikutshiywa ilitshe phezu kwelinye; wonke azaphoselwa phansi.”
“Ibi byonse mbyomulabononga, nicikashike cindi mpoti kukabule libwe nambi limo lyeti likashale palibwe linendi, mabwe onse nakamwayaulwe.”
7 Babuza bathi, “Mfundisi, izinto lezi zizakwenzakala nini? Njalo sizakuba yini isibonakaliso sokuthi sezizakwenzeka na?”
Lino beshikwiya balepusha Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, nomba ibi nibikenshike lilyoni? Kayi nitukenshibile kucani eti bintu byonse ibi bili pepi kwinshika?”
8 Waphendula wathi, “Qaphelani lingakhohliswa. Ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami besithi, ‘Nginguye,’ njalo bathi, ‘Isikhathi sesisondele.’ Lingabalandeli.
Yesu walambeti, “Kamucenjelani kwambeti kutakaba muntu naba umo eti akamubepe. Pakwinga bantu bangi balakesanga mulina lyakame kabambeti, ‘Njame Mupulushi usa Walaiwa.’ Kayi eti, ‘cindi cilashiki.’ Mutakabakonkela.
9 Nxa lisizwa ngezimpi lezikhukhulambuso, lingethuki. Lezizinto kuzamele zenzeke kuqala, kodwa isiphetho kasizukufika ngalesosikhathi.”
Mwakanyumfwa makani a nkondo kayi nebimfulunganya mubishi, mutakatina. Ibi bintu byelela kutanguna kwinshika, nomba nteko kwambeti mapwililisho a cishi alashiki.”
10 Wasesithi kubo: “Isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso.
Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambileti, “Bishi nibikalwane ne bishi nabimbi, nayoyo mishobo nikabukilane ne mishobo inabo.
11 Kuzakuba lokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, indlala lezifo ezindaweni ezinengi, izehlakalo ezesabekayo lezibonakaliso ezinengi zivela emkhathini.
Nikukabe mikukumo iyosha. Nikukabe nsala, malwashi ne lulanga mumisena yapusana pusana. Nikukenshike bintu byeshikuyosha nebingashilo byeshikukankamanisha kwilu.
12 Kodwa kungakenzakali konke lokhu bazalibamba, balihlukuluze. Bazalinikela emasinagogweni baliphosele lasezintolongweni njalo lizamiswa phambi kwamakhosi lababusi ngenxa yebizo lami.
“Nsombi byonse ibi kabitana binshika, nimukasungwe nekupenshewa. Nimukatwalwe mumanda akupaililamo, nimukabetekwe nekubikwa mujele. Nimukatwalwe ku bami ne baleli pacebo ca njame.
13 Lokhu kuzalenza libe ngofakazi kimi.
Ici nicikabe cindi caina ca kukambauka Mulumbe Waina.
14 Kodwa bekani amaphaphu phansi, lingazihluphi ngokuthi lizazivikela lisithini.
Lino mutakasukama mumyoyo kuyeyeti nitwambe cani pamulanduyu.
15 Ngoba ngizalinika amazwi lokuhlakanipha ukuze angabikhona ezitheni zenu ozalehlula loba aliphikise.
Pakwinga ninkamupe maswi a mano cakwambeti kuliya mulwani wenu eti akacikonshe kukana nambi kutoteka.
16 Lizanikelwa ngabazali, ngabafowenu layizihlobo labangane njalo abanye benu bazalibulala.
Ne bamashali benu bonse, bamakwenu, beshikamukowa, nebanenu, nibakamutwale kubalwani benu, bambi pakati penu nibakamushine.
17 Bonke abantu bazalizonda ngenxa yami.
Bantu bonse nibakamupate pacebo ca njame.
18 Kodwa kakuyikubhubha lanwele olulodwa emakhanda enu.
Necikabeco kuliya mushishi nambi umo wenu weshi ukataike.
19 Bekezelani, lizasindiswa.
Mukalimbikile cakubula kubwelela munyuma nimukatambule buyumi bwenu.”
20 Lingabona iJerusalema isihonqolozelwe yizimpi lizakwazi ukuthi incithakalo isisondele.
Mwakaboneti munshi wa Yelusalemu ulashingulukwa ne beshi nkondo, mukenshibeti konongeka kwawo kulashiki.
21 Lapho-ke akuthi labo abaseJudiya babalekele ezintabeni, abasedolobheni kabaphume, kuthi labo abasemaphandleni bangangeni edolobheni.
Lino abo bali mu Yudeya bakafwambile kumilundu, abo beshi bakabenga mukati mu Yelusalemu bakapulemo, balikumabala kabatakengila mu Yelusalemu.
22 Ngoba lesi yisikhathi sokujeziswa ukugcwalisa konke okwalotshwayo.
Pakwinga ici nicikabe cindi cacisubulo, kwambeti byonse bisa byalalembwa mumabala bikenshike.
23 Yeka ubulukhuni obuzakuba khona ngalezonsuku kwabesifazane abakhulelweyo labangabadlezane! Kuzakuba khona ukuhlukuluzeka okukhulu elizweni lolaka phezu kwabantu.
Batukashi beti bakabenga ne mabunda nibakabe mumapensho, nabo beshi bakabenga ne bana balayamwanga mumasubayo. Pakwinga nikukabe mapensho anene mucishici, kayi ne bukalu bwa Lesa nibukabe pabantu bamu Isilaeli.
24 Bazakuwa ngenkemba babuthwe babe yizibotshwa zezizwe zonke. IJerusalema izagidagidwa ngabeZizwe kuze kugcwaliseke izikhathi zabeZizwe.
Nabambi nibakayaswe bibeshi kayi nibakamantwe busha kubantu bamishobo imbi. Lino Yelusalemu nikalyataulwe ne baswamashi kushikila cindi cabo cikapwe.
25 Kuzabakhona izibonakaliso elangeni, enyangeni lasezinkanyezini. Emhlabeni izizwe zizakuba phakathi kosizi lokudideka ngenxa yokuhuba lokukhaphaza kolwandle.
“Kulakabanga bingashilo kulisuba ne kumwenshi ne kunyenyenshi. Pacishi pano, bantu nibakalisukame nekutina pakunyumfwa kuwota kwa lwenje ne mankape.
26 Abantu bazaphela amandla ngokwesaba, behlutshwa yilokho okuzayo emhlabeni, ngoba izisekelo zasezulwini zizazanyazanyiswa.
Bantu nibakawisuke ne buyowa pakulangilila bilandanga kwinshika mucishi ca panshi conse, pakwinga ngofu sha kwilu nishikatenkanishiwe.
27 Ngalesosikhathi bazayibona iNdodana yoMuntu isiza ngeyezi ilamandla lenkazimulo enkulu.
Lino nibakabone ame nde Mwana Muntu kanjisa mumakumbi nengofu kayi nebulemu bunene.
28 Nxa lezizinto seziqala ukwenzakala manini liqine, liphakamise amakhanda enu, ngoba ukuhlengwa kwenu sekusondela.”
Lino bintu ibi byakatatika kwinshika, mukanyamuke nekwinuna mitwi yenu, pakwinga kulubulwa kwenu kulasenene pepi.”
29 Wabatshela umfanekiso lo wathi, “Khangelani esihlahleni somkhiwa kanye lezinye zonke izihlahla.
Lino Yesu walabambila mukoshano eti, “Kamulangani mukuyu nebitondo bimbi byonse.
30 Nxa zihluma lizazibonela lani njalo lazi ukuthi ihlobo selisondele.
Na mulabono matewu atatiki kusonsa mukute kwishibeti cilimo cili pepi.
31 Kanjalo-ke, nxa lingabona lezizinto sezisenzakala, lazi ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele.
Copeleco nenjamwe mwakabona bintu ibi kabinshika mukenshibe kwambeti Bwami bwa Lesa buli pepi.
32 Ngilitshela iqiniso, lesisizukulwane kasiyikudlula zize zenzakale zonke lezizinto.
“Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti musemano uwu nteti ukapwe kufwa bintu ibi kabitana binshika.
33 Izulu lomhlaba kuzedlula, kodwa amazwi ami kawayikwedlula lanini.
Kwilu ne cishi ca panshi nibikapite, nsombi maswi akame nteshi akapwepo ngofu sobwe.”
34 Nanzelelani funa inhliziyo zenu zithundubale ngokuzitika lokudakwa lokunqineka ngezinto zalimpilo, ngoba lolosuku luzalijuma njengomjibila.
“Kamucenjelani kwambeti mutaba bantu basuni kulya ne kusekelela malyalya, nekukolwa kayi nekusukama pa bintu bya buyumi buno, pakwinga busuba ubo ngabwisa mwakutenshiba eti kose.
35 Ngoba luzafikela bonke labo abahlala kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Nibukese bushikubo pabantu bonse bekala pa cishi capanshi
36 Hlalani lilindile, likhulekele ukuthi liphephe kukho konke osekuzakwenzeka masinyane, lokuthi libe lamandla okuma phambi kweNdodana yoMuntu.”
Ikalani mwalibambila lyonse, nekupaila cindi conse, kwambeti mube nengofu shakupuluka kubintu ibi byeshibikeshike, kwambeti mukemane pamenso pa Mwana Muntu.”
37 Insuku zonke uJesu wayefundisa ethempelini kuthi kusihlwa aphume ayechitha ubusuku eqaqeni olwaluthiwa yiNtaba yama-Oliva,
Masuba ayo, Yesu walikeyisha mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, nsombi mashiku lyonse walikuya ku mulundu wa maolifi akwikala.
38 njalo abantu bonke babesiza ekuseni kakhulu ukuzamuzwa ethempelini.
Lino mumenemene bantu bangi bali kabaya ku Ng'anda ya Lesa kuya kukutika kwiyisha kwakendi.
