Matei 24
1 A Yeshu gubhakopweshe ku liekalu nigubhaijabhulile, bhaajiganya bhabho gubhaajendelenje nikwaalanguya majumba gatimbilile liekalu.
UJesu wathi esuka ethempelini esehamba abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi kake ananzelele izakhiwo zalo.
2 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnikugabhonanga gene gowega! Kweli ngunakunnugulilanga, lyakwapi liganga nkali limo shililepeshe panani liganga, yowe ipinga bhomolwa.”
Wathi, “Liyazibona na zonke lezizinto? Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi akulalitshe lapha elizasala liphezu kwelinye; wonke azabhidlizwa.”
3 A Yeshu bhakatameje pa shitumbi sha Misheituni, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaajendelenje shintemela, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nntulugulile genega pushigakoposhele shakani? Shilangulo shashi shishilanguye kwiya kwenu na mpelo gwa shilambolyo?” (aiōn g165)
Kwathi uJesu ehlezi eNtabeni yama-Oliva abafundi bakhe beza kuye ngasese bathi, “Sitshele, kuzakwenzakala nini lokhu na, njalo kuzakuba lesibonakaliso bani sokuza kwakho lokuphela kwesikhathi na?” (aiōn g165)
4 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Mwiteiganje mundu anantembanje.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Qaphelani ukuze lingakhohliswa muntu.
5 Pabha bhandu bhabhagwinji shibhaikangane bhalinkutinji, ‘Nne a Kilishitu,’ na bhalabhonji shibhaatembanje bhandu bhabhagwinji.
Ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami besithi, ‘NginguKhristu,’ bakhohlise abanengi.
6 Shimpilikananje ililo ya ngondo na ngani ya ngondo, ikabheje nnajogopanje, pabha genego ganapinjikwa gakoposhele, ikabheje mpelo ukanabhe.
Lizakuzwa ngezimpi lamahungahunga azo, kodwa lingaze lethuka. Izinto ezinjalo zizakwenzeka, kodwa ukucina kulokhu kuseza.
7 Shilambo shipinga komana na shilambo shina, upalume gumo upinga komana na upalume guna. Shipinga pagwa shibhanga na ungumila kwa ilambo.
Isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso. Kuzakuba lendlala lokuzamazama komhlaba ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo.
8 Yene yoweyo mbuti kutandubha kwa mboteko ya shitumbo nkupinga kwiigopola.
Konke lokhu kuyikuqalisa kobuhlungu bokuhelelwa.
9 “Kungai bhandu bhowe shibhantendebhukanje nkupinga mpotekwanje na bhulagwa. Na bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhapinga kunshimanga kwa ligongo lyangu nne.
Lapho lizanikelwa ukuba lihlutshwe njalo libulawe, futhi lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yami.
10 Kabhili, bhabhagwinji bhapinga lekanga ngulupai jabhonji na tendebhukana na shimana.
Ngalesosikhathi abanengi bazadela ukukholwa banikelane njalo bazondane,
11 Bhapinga koposhelanga ashinkulondola bha unami bhabhagwinji bhapinga kwaapuganyanga bhandu bhabhagwinji.
kuvele abaphrofethi bamanga abanengi abazakhohlisa abantu abanengi.
12 Kwa ligongo lya jenjesheka ilebho, kupingana kwa bhandu shukubhujile nnyuma.
Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabanengi luzaphola,
13 Ikabheje shaikakatimilile mpaka kumpelo shatapulwe.
kodwa lowo oma aqine kuze kube sekupheleni uzasindiswa.
14 Ngani ja Mmbone ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu jipinga lunguywa pa shilambolyo, kubha ukong'ondelo ku bhandu bhowe, penepo ni pushuishe mpelo gula.”
Njalo lelivangeli lombuso lizatshunyayelwa kuwo wonke umhlaba njengobufakazi kuzozonke izizwe, besekufika ukuphela.
15 Ashomajo agamanye malombolelo ga malobhe ga a Yeshu gakwiya gano. Nigubhashite, a Danieli ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalugwile ga nnjimwa ja nyatiya. Pushinnjibhonanje jijimi pa ukonjelo,
Nxa libona kumi endaweni engcwele ‘amanyala aletha incithakalo,’okwakhulunywa ngomphrofethi uDanyeli, ofundayo kezwisise.
16 bhalinginji ku Yudea bhabhutushilanje mwiitumbi.
Lapho-ke akuthi labo abaseJudiya babalekele ezintabeni.
17 Ali pashitubhili anatulushe pai kutola indu nnyumba jakwe.
Akungabikhona osophahleni lwendlu ozakwehla phansi ukuyathatha ulutho endlini.
18 Ali kunngunda anabhuje kumui kutola nngubho yakwe.
Lowo osemasimini kangabuyeli ngekhaya ukuyathatha ijazi lakhe.
19 Ole gwabhonji bhanabhakongwe bhakwetenje ndumbo na bhajonjeyanga gene mobhago.
Yeka ubulukhuni obuzakuba khona ngalezonsuku kwabesifazane abakhulelweyo labangabadlezane!
20 Nnjuganje kwa a Nnungu nkupinga kubhutuka kwenunji kunabhe mobha ga mmbepo eu Lyubha lya Pumulila.
Khulekelani ukuba ukuphaphatheka kwenu kungabi sebusika loba ngeSabatha.
21 Pabha gene mobhago shipinga pagwa shilaje shikanabhe koposhela shitandubhile kupanganywa shilambolyo mpaka lelo, wala shikajiya pagwa kabhili.
Ngoba ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba lokuhlupheka okukhulu, okungazange kube khona kulokhu kwadabuka umhlaba kuze kube manje, njalo kakusoze kube khona futhi.
22 Monaga gene mobhago a Nnungu bhakanapunguye jakwa mundu jojowe akatapwilwe, ikabheje gapinga punguywa kwa ligongo lya bhandu bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu.
Aluba lezinsuku bezingaphungulwanga, kakho obezaphepha, kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezinsuku zizaphungulwa.
23 Bhai, mundu annugulilangaga, a Kilishitu pubhali apano, eu kubhali akula, nnankulupalilanje.
Nxa ngalesosikhathi omunye esithi kini, ‘Khangela, nangu uKhristu!’ loba ‘Ulaphaya!’ lingakukholwa lokho.
24 Pabha bhaapinga koposhelanga Bhakilishitu na ashinkulondola bha unami. Bhapinga tendanga ilangulo ya ikulungwa na ya lapa ya kombola nkali kwapuganyanga bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu.
Ngoba oKhristu bamanga labaphrofethi bamanga bazavela benze izibonakaliso lezimangaliso ezinkulu ukukhohlisa kanye labakhethiweyo, nxa lokho kungenzeka.
25 Mpilikananje, njikunnimbiyanga gakanabhe koposhela genego.
Zwanini, sengihle ngalitshela mandulo kwesikhathi.
26 Bhai, bhannugulilangaga, nnolanje, kubhali kuanga, nnajendangane kweneko, eu, nnolanje, mubhali nnyumba, nnakulupalilanje.
Ngakho-ke, nxa umuntu elitshela esithi, ‘Nanguyana, laphayana egangeni,’ lingayi khona loba athi, ‘Nangu lapha ezindlini ezingaphakathi,’ lingaze lakukholwa lokho.
27 Pabha malinga nnjai shijikuti meta nibhoneka kuliunde kowe, pushiijiyebha malinga pushabhoneshe Mwana juka Mundu lyubha lyashaishe.
Ngoba njengombane osuka empumalanga uhle ubonakale lasentshonalanga, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yoMuntu.
28 Malinga, pene puguli ntui, nipugaimana matumbui, kwa nneyo shene shilanguloshi shinalangula kuti ku mpelo gwa shilambolyo kubhandishile.
Lapho okulesidumbu khona kulapho amanqe abuthana khona.
29 Shangupe shipitaga shilaje sha gene mobhago, lyubha lipingabha nnubhindu, mwei ukalangaya na ndondwa ipingagwa pai na mashili ga indu ya kunnungu gapinga tenganyika.
Masinyane ngemva kokuhlupheka kwalezonsuku, ‘ilanga lizafiphala lenyanga kayiyikukhanya; izinkanyezi zizakuwa esibhakabhakeni, izisekelo zasezulwini zizazanyazanyiswa.’
30 Kungai, shilangulo shika Mwana juka Mundu shishibhoneshe kunnungu, penepo makabhila gowe ga pa shilambolyo gapinga kwiigutanjila, shibhammonanje Mwana juka Mundu alikwiiya mmaunde ga kunnungu ali na mashili na ukonjelo gwanngwinji.
Kulesosikhathi isibonakaliso seNdodana yoMuntu sizavela emkhathini, kuthi zonke izizwe zomhlaba zilile. Zizabona iNdodana yoMuntu isiza ngamayezi esibhakabhakeni, ilamandla lobukhosi obukhulu.
31 Na bhalabho shibhaatumanje ashimalaika bhabho na lipenga lya oneya, bhalabhonji bhapinga kwaalopolanga bhaagwilwenje bhabho kopoka mmbali yowe ya pa shilambolyo.
Njalo izathumela izingilosi zayo zitshaya icilongo ngomsindo omkhulu, beseziqoqa abakhethiweyo bayo emagumbini womane omhlaba, kusukela ngapha kwamazulu kusiya ngale kwawo.
32 Bhai kwa nkongo mwiijiganyanye alu lutangolu, shangupe nyambi yakwe puitandubha ipuka, nnakumumanyanga kuti shuku shibhandishile.
Manje-ke, fundani lesisifundo esihlahleni somkhiwa: Amahlumela aso angaqalisa ukuba buthakathaka lamahlamvu aso ahlume, lihle lazi ukuthi ihlobo selisondele.
33 Nneyo peyo mmanganya pushinngabhonanje genega, mmumanyanje kuti bhabhandishile.
Kanjalo-ke, nxa lingabona zonke lezizinto, lazi ukuthi sekusondele, khonapho emnyango.
34 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, alu lubhelekolu lukapela gakanabhe koposhela gowego.
Ngilitshela iqiniso, lesisizukulwane kasiyikudlula zize zenzakale zonke lezizinto.
35 Kunnungu na shilambolyo shiipite, ikabheje malobhe gangu gakapita.
Izulu lomhlaba kuzedlula, kodwa amazwi ami kawayikwedlula lanini.”
36 Ikabheje, ga lyene lyubhalyo, eu malanga jwakwa mundu akugamanya shigabhe shakani, wala ashimalaika bha kunnungu, wala Mwana, ikabhe Atati jikape.
“Kodwa kakho olwaziyo lolosuku lehola, loba izingilosi zasezulwini, kumbe iNdodana, kodwa uBaba kuphela.
37 Pabha malinga shiyaliji mobha ga a Nuu, puipingabha mobha ga kwiya kwakwe Mwana juka Mundu.
Njengoba kwakunjalo ensukwini zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yoMuntu.
38 Pabha gene mobhago, nduluko jikanabhe tuluka, bhandunji bhatenda lyanganga na kolelwa na lomba na lombwa, mpaka a Nuu pubhajinjile nshapina.
Ngoba ensukwini ezandulela uzamcolo, abantu babesidla, benatha, bethatha njalo besenda, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini;
39 Bhangashimanyanga shipinga koposhela, mpaka pujaishe nduluko, jikwaajolangaga bhowe. Na malinga pushiijiyebha lyubha lya kwiya kwakwe Mwana juka Mundu.
futhi babengazi lutho ngalokho okwakuzakwenzeka uzamcolo waze wafika wabatshabalalisa. Kuzakuba njalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yoMuntu.
40 Gene mobhago bhandunji bhabhili shibhabhanganje mungunda, jumo shatolwe na juna shaleshwe.
Kuzakuthi amadoda emabili esensimini, eyodwa izathathwa, eyinye isale.
41 Bhanabhakongwe bhabhili shibhabhanganje bhaliyaganga, jumo shatolwe na juna shaleshwe.
Kuzakuthi abesifazane bebabili bechola ngembokodo, oyedwa uzathathwa omunye asale.
42 Bhai, nsheyanje, pabha nkakulimanyanga lyubha lishibhaishe Bhakulungwa bhenunji.
Ngakho, lindani ngoba kalikwazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izafika ngaluphi usuku.
43 Ikabheje nnimanyanje lyeneli, monaga bhayene nyumba bhakalimanyi lyubha lya kwiya nngwii, bhakasheshiye, ngubhakajileshileje nyumba jabho kujibhwa.
Kodwa zwisisani lokhu: Kube umninindlu wayekwazile ukuthi isela lizafika ngasiphi isikhathi sobusuku ngabe walinda kaze avumela ukuthi indlu yakhe igqekezwe.
44 Kwa nneyo na mmanganya nsheyanje, pabha Mwana juka Mundu shaishe malanga gunkakugamanyanga.
Ngakho lani hlalani lilindile, ngoba iNdodana yoMuntu izafika ngesikhathi leso elizabe lingayikhumbuleli sona.
45 A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa bhalinkuti, bhai gani ntumishi akulupalika na akwete lunda, bhakulungwa bhakwe shibhantende abhe jwa nkulungwa ku bhandu bhabho, abhapanganje shalya pa malanga gakwe?
Ngubani kambe oyinceku ethembekileyo lehlakaniphileyo umninimuzi ayibeke esikhundleni sokukhangela izisebenzi zalapha ekhaya ukuthi azinike ukudla kwazo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
46 Mbaya jwene ntumishi, bhakulungwa bhakwe pushibhaishe shibhanng'imane alitenda nneyo.
Kuzakuba kuhle kuleyo nceku inkosi ezayifica isenza njalo ekuphendukeni kwayo.
47 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shibhammishe jwene ntumishijo agoye indu yabho yowe.
Ngilitshela iqiniso, izakumbeka ukuthi aphathe yonke impahla yayo.
48 Ikabheje ntumishi jwangali jwa mmbone aibheleketelaga muntima gwakwe kuti, bhakulungwa bhangu bhanakabha kubhuja,
Kodwa cabanga mhlawumbe inceku leyo ikhohlakele njalo ingazitshela ithi, ‘Inkosi yami isesekhatshana ukubuya,’
49 kungai gwatandwibhe kwaakomanga bhatumishi ajakwe na tandubha lya na papila pamo na bhaakolelwanga,
ibisiqalisa ukutshaya ezinye izinceku njalo lokudla inatha lezidakwa.
50 bhakulungwa bhakwe ntumishijo shibhaishe lyubha lyangaganishiwa na malanga gangamanyika.
Inkosi yaleyonceku izabuya ngosuku engacatshangelwa khona langesikhathi inceku engasaziyo.
51 Shibhankome kwa kaje na kunkundikanya likundi limo na bhagulumba. Kweneko shikubhe shililo na tauna meno.
Izayiqumaquma, iyiphe indawo kanye labazenzisi, lapho okuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla kwamazinyo.”
