UMathewu 24
1 UJesu wathi esuka ethempelini esehamba abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi kake ananzelele izakhiwo zalo.
Zvino Jesu wakabuda akabva patembere; vadzidzi vake ndokuswedera kuzomuratidza zvivakwa zvetembere.
2 Wathi, “Liyazibona na zonke lezizinto? Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi akulalitshe lapha elizasala liphezu kwelinye; wonke azabhidlizwa.”
Jesu akati kwavari: Hamuoni zvinhu izvi zvese here? Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakungatozongosiiwi pano ibwe pamusoro pebwe risingatongoputsirwi pasi.
3 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)
Kuzoti agere pagomo reMiorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari vega vachiti: Tiudzei, zvinhu izvi zvichava rinhi? Nechiratidzo chekuuya kwenyu nechokuguma kwenyika chichava chipi? (aiōn g165)
4 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Qaphelani ukuze lingakhohliswa muntu.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Chenjerai kuti kusava neanokutsausai;
5 Ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami besithi, ‘NginguKhristu,’ bakhohlise abanengi.
nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu, vachiti: Ndini Kristu; uye vachatsausa vazhinji.
6 Lizakuzwa ngezimpi lamahungahunga azo, kodwa lingaze lethuka. Izinto ezinjalo zizakwenzeka, kodwa ukucina kulokhu kuseza.
Zvino muchanzwa zvehondo nerunyerekupe rwehondo; chenjerai, musakanganiswa; nokuti zvese zvinofanira kuitika; asi kuguma kuchigere.
7 Isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso. Kuzakuba lendlala lokuzamazama komhlaba ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo.
Nokuti rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe, uye kuchava nenzara nematenda nekudengenyeka kwenyika kunzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana.
8 Konke lokhu kuyikuqalisa kobuhlungu bokuhelelwa.
Asi zvese izvi kutanga kwemarwadzo.
9 Lapho lizanikelwa ukuba lihlutshwe njalo libulawe, futhi lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yami.
Ipapo vachakukumikidzai mukutambudzika, uye vachakuurayai; uye muchavengwa nemarudzi ese nekuda kwezita rangu.
10 Ngalesosikhathi abanengi bazadela ukukholwa banikelane njalo bazondane,
Zvino ipapo vazhinji vachagumbuswa, uye vachatengesana, nekuvengana.
11 kuvele abaphrofethi bamanga abanengi abazakhohlisa abantu abanengi.
Uye vaporofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka, vatsause vazhinji.
12 Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabanengi luzaphola,
Uye nekuda kwekuti uipi huchawanda, rudo rwevazhinji rwuchatonhora.
13 kodwa lowo oma aqine kuze kube sekupheleni uzasindiswa.
Asi anotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye achaponeswa.
14 Njalo lelivangeli lombuso lizatshunyayelwa kuwo wonke umhlaba njengobufakazi kuzozonke izizwe, besekufika ukuphela.
Uye evhangeri iyi yeushe ichaparidzwa munyika yese chive uchapupu kumarudzi ese; ipapo kuguma kuchasvika.
15 Nxa libona kumi endaweni engcwele ‘amanyala aletha incithakalo,’okwakhulunywa ngomphrofethi uDanyeli, ofundayo kezwisise.
Naizvozvo kana muchiona nyangadzi yekuparadza yakarehwa naDhanyeri muporofita, imire panzvimbo tsvene (anorava ngaanzwisise),
16 Lapho-ke akuthi labo abaseJudiya babalekele ezintabeni.
zvino vari muJudhiya ngavatizire kumakomo;
17 Akungabikhona osophahleni lwendlu ozakwehla phansi ukuyathatha ulutho endlini.
ari pamusoro pedenga reimba ngaarege kuburuka kuzotora chinhu kubva mumba make;
18 Lowo osemasimini kangabuyeli ngekhaya ukuyathatha ijazi lakhe.
neari kumunda ngaarege kudzokera shure kunotora nguvo dzake.
19 Yeka ubulukhuni obuzakuba khona ngalezonsuku kwabesifazane abakhulelweyo labangabadlezane!
Asi mune nhamo vane mimba nevanonwisa nemazuva iwayo!
20 Khulekelani ukuba ukuphaphatheka kwenu kungabi sebusika loba ngeSabatha.
Asi nyengeterai kuti kutiza kwenyu kurege kuva muchando, kana nesabata.
21 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba lokuhlupheka okukhulu, okungazange kube khona kulokhu kwadabuka umhlaba kuze kube manje, njalo kakusoze kube khona futhi.
Nokuti ipapo kuchavapo kutambudzika kukuru, kusati kwakavapo kwakadaro kubva pakutanga kwenyika kusvikira zvino, uye kusingazovipozve.
22 Aluba lezinsuku bezingaphungulwanga, kakho obezaphepha, kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezinsuku zizaphungulwa.
Dai mazuva ayo asaipfupiswa, hakuna nyama zvachose yaiponeswa; asi nekuda kwevasanangurwa mazuva ayo achapfupiswa.
23 Nxa ngalesosikhathi omunye esithi kini, ‘Khangela, nangu uKhristu!’ loba ‘Ulaphaya!’ lingakukholwa lokho.
Zvino kana munhu akati kwamuri: Tarirai, Kristu pano, kana apo, musatenda.
24 Ngoba oKhristu bamanga labaphrofethi bamanga bazavela benze izibonakaliso lezimangaliso ezinkulu ukukhohlisa kanye labakhethiweyo, nxa lokho kungenzeka.
Nokuti kuchamuka vana kristu venhema nevaporofita venhema, vachaita zviratidzo zvikuru nezvishamiso, zvekuti kana zvichibvira, vatsause nevasanangurwa.
25 Zwanini, sengihle ngalitshela mandulo kwesikhathi.
Tarirai, ndagara ndakuudzai.
26 Ngakho-ke, nxa umuntu elitshela esithi, ‘Nanguyana, laphayana egangeni,’ lingayi khona loba athi, ‘Nangu lapha ezindlini ezingaphakathi,’ lingaze lakukholwa lokho.
Naizvozvo kana vakati kwamuri: Tarirai, ari murenje, musabuda; tarirai ari mudzimba dzemukati, musatenda.
27 Ngoba njengombane osuka empumalanga uhle ubonakale lasentshonalanga, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yoMuntu.
Nokuti semheni inobuda kumabvazuva ichipenya kusvikira kumavirira, kuchava saizvozvo nekuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
28 Lapho okulesidumbu khona kulapho amanqe abuthana khona.
Nokuti pese-pese pane chitunha, ndipo pachaunganidzwa magora.
29 Masinyane ngemva kokuhlupheka kwalezonsuku, ‘ilanga lizafiphala lenyanga kayiyikukhanya; izinkanyezi zizakuwa esibhakabhakeni, izisekelo zasezulwini zizazanyazanyiswa.’
Pakarepo shure kwekutambudzika kwemazuva ayo zuva richasvibiswa, nemwedzi hauzopi chiedza chawo, uye nyeredzi dzichawa kudenga, nemasimba ekumatenga achazungunuswa.
30 Kulesosikhathi isibonakaliso seNdodana yoMuntu sizavela emkhathini, kuthi zonke izizwe zomhlaba zilile. Zizabona iNdodana yoMuntu isiza ngamayezi esibhakabhakeni, ilamandla lobukhosi obukhulu.
Uye ipapo kuchaonekwa chiratidzo cheMwanakomana wemunhu kudenga; uye ipapo marudzi ese enyika achachema, uye achaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya pamakore ekudenga nesimba nekubwinya kukuru.
31 Njalo izathumela izingilosi zayo zitshaya icilongo ngomsindo omkhulu, beseziqoqa abakhethiweyo bayo emagumbini womane omhlaba, kusukela ngapha kwamazulu kusiya ngale kwawo.
Uye achatuma vatumwa vake nekurira kukuru kwehwamanda, vachaunganidza vasanangurwa vake kubva kumhepo ina, kubva kumigumo yematenga kusvikira kumigumo yawo.
32 Manje-ke, fundani lesisifundo esihlahleni somkhiwa: Amahlumela aso angaqalisa ukuba buthakathaka lamahlamvu aso ahlume, lihle lazi ukuthi ihlobo selisondele.
Asi dzidzai mufananidzo kubva pamuonde: Kana davi rawo rava ikozvino nyoro, richitunga mashizha, munoziva kuti zhizha rava pedo.
33 Kanjalo-ke, nxa lingabona zonke lezizinto, lazi ukuthi sekusondele, khonapho emnyango.
Saizvozvo nemwi, kana moona izvozvi zvese, zivai kuti zvava pedo pamikova.
34 Ngilitshela iqiniso, lesisizukulwane kasiyikudlula zize zenzakale zonke lezizinto.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Zera iri haringatongopfuuri kusvikira izvozvi zvese zvaitika.
35 Izulu lomhlaba kuzedlula, kodwa amazwi ami kawayikwedlula lanini.”
Denga nenyika zvichapfuura, asi mashoko angu haangatongopfuuri.
36 “Kodwa kakho olwaziyo lolosuku lehola, loba izingilosi zasezulwini, kumbe iNdodana, kodwa uBaba kuphela.
Asi zvezuva iro neawa hakuna anozviziva, kwete kunyange vatumwa vekumatenga, asi Baba vangu chete.
37 Njengoba kwakunjalo ensukwini zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yoMuntu.
Asi semazuva aNowa, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
38 Ngoba ensukwini ezandulela uzamcolo, abantu babesidla, benatha, bethatha njalo besenda, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini;
Nokuti sepamazuva akatangira mafashame, vaidya nekunwa, vachiwana nekuwaniswa, kusvikira zuva Nowa raakapinda muareka,
39 futhi babengazi lutho ngalokho okwakuzakwenzeka uzamcolo waze wafika wabatshabalalisa. Kuzakuba njalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yoMuntu.
uye vakange vasingazivi, kusvikira kwasvika mafashame avabvisa vese, kuchaita saizvozvowo kuuya kweMwanakomana wemunhu.
40 Kuzakuthi amadoda emabili esensimini, eyodwa izathathwa, eyinye isale.
Ipapo vaviri vachava mumunda; umwe achatorwa, uye umwe achasiiwa.
41 Kuzakuthi abesifazane bebabili bechola ngembokodo, oyedwa uzathathwa omunye asale.
Vakadzi vaviri vachikuya paguyo; umwe achatorwa, neumwe achasiiwa.
42 Ngakho, lindani ngoba kalikwazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izafika ngaluphi usuku.
Rindai naizvozvo, nokuti hamuzivi nguva Ishe wenyu yaachauya.
43 Kodwa zwisisani lokhu: Kube umninindlu wayekwazile ukuthi isela lizafika ngasiphi isikhathi sobusuku ngabe walinda kaze avumela ukuthi indlu yakhe igqekezwe.
Asi zivai izvi, kuti dai mwene weimba aiziva kuti inguva yekurinda ipi ichasvika mbavha, angadai airinda, akasatendera imba yake kuti ipazwe.
44 Ngakho lani hlalani lilindile, ngoba iNdodana yoMuntu izafika ngesikhathi leso elizabe lingayikhumbuleli sona.
Naizvozvo imwiwo ivai makagadzirira; nokuti neawa ramusingafungiri, Mwanakomana wemunhu anouya.
45 Ngubani kambe oyinceku ethembekileyo lehlakaniphileyo umninimuzi ayibeke esikhundleni sokukhangela izisebenzi zalapha ekhaya ukuthi azinike ukudla kwazo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
Ko ndiani muranda wakatendeka, wakangwara, ishe wake wakamugadza pamusoro pevaranda vake kuti avape kudya nenguva yakafanira?
46 Kuzakuba kuhle kuleyo nceku inkosi ezayifica isenza njalo ekuphendukeni kwayo.
Wakaropafadzwa muranda uyo, unoti kana ishe wake achisvika anomuwana achiita saizvozvo.
47 Ngilitshela iqiniso, izakumbeka ukuthi aphathe yonke impahla yayo.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Achamugadza pamusoro pezvese zvaanazvo.
48 Kodwa cabanga mhlawumbe inceku leyo ikhohlakele njalo ingazitshela ithi, ‘Inkosi yami isesekhatshana ukubuya,’
Asi kana muranda uyo wakaipa akati mumoyo make: Ishe wangu anonoka kuuya;
49 ibisiqalisa ukutshaya ezinye izinceku njalo lokudla inatha lezidakwa.
ndokutanga kurova vamwe varanda vanobata pamwe naye, nekudya nekunwa nevararadzi,
50 Inkosi yaleyonceku izabuya ngosuku engacatshangelwa khona langesikhathi inceku engasaziyo.
ishe wemuranda uyo achasvika nezuva raasingatariri neawa raasingazivi,
51 Izayiqumaquma, iyiphe indawo kanye labazenzisi, lapho okuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla kwamazinyo.”
akamugura nepakati, agoisa mugove wake pamwe nevanyepedzeri; apo pachava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.
