UMathewu 24
1 UJesu wasephuma wasuka ethempelini; basebesondela abafundi bakhe ukumtshengisa izakhiwo zethempeli.
Yesu awukili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, peavi mukuhamba vawuliwa vaki vambwelili na kumlangisa Nyumba ya Chapanga cheyijengiwi.
2 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kaliziboni yini zonke lezizinto? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akusoze kutshiywe lapha ilitshe elilodwa phezu kwelitshe, elingasoze lidilizelwe phansi.
Yesu akavajovela, “Ena, mwihotola kugalola goha aga! Nikuvajovela chakaka, kawaka hati liganga limonga lelisigilila panani ya liganga lingi kila limonga yati litagiwa pahi.”
3 Kwathi esehlezi entabeni yeMihlwathi, abafundi beza kuye bebodwa, bathi: Sitshele, lezizinto zizakuba nini? Lesibonakaliso sokuza kwakho, lesokuphela kwesikhathi sizakuba yini? (aiōn g165)
Yesu peatamili panani ya chitumbi cha mizeituni, vawuliwa vamhambili pachiepela, vakamkota, “Utijovela mambu ago yati gihumila ndali?” Ulangisu woki weulangisa kubwela kwaki na pamwishu wa mulima? (aiōn g165)
4 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Qaphelani, kungabi khona oliduhisayo;
Yesu akavayangula, mujiyangalila mundu akotoka kuvakonga.
5 ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami, besithi: Mina nginguKristu; futhi baduhise abanengi.
Ndava muni vamahele yati vibwela kwa liina langu, yati vijova nene ndi Kilisitu Msangula! Na kuvakonga vandu vamahele.
6 Njalo lizakuzwa ngezimpi lamahungahunga ezimpi; nanzelelani, lingethuki; ngoba konke lokhu kufanele kwenzeke; kodwa ukuphela kakukabi khona.
Nambu mwiyuwana malovi ga ngondo na lwami lwa ngondo, nambu mkoto kuyogopa, muni genago goha giganikiwa kuhumila, nambu mwishu wene wakona.
7 Ngoba isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso; njalo kuzakuba khona indlala labomatshayabhuqe bezifo lokuzamazama komhlaba indawo ngendawo;
Vandu va mulima umonga yati vitovana na mulima wungi, unkosi umonga yati utovana na unkosi wungi. Kuni na kula yati kwivya na njala na mindendemo ya ndima.
8 kodwa zonke lezizinto ziyikuqala kwemihelo.
Genago goha yati givya ngati utumbula wa lipyanda la kuvelekewa mwana.
9 Lapho-ke bazalinikela ekuhluphekeni, balibulale; futhi lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yebizo lami.
“Kangi yati vakuvagotola mung'aiswa na kukomiwa. Yati mwivya vandu va kuyomewa na vandu va milima yoha ndava ya kunisadika nene.
10 Njalo ngalesosikhathi abanengi bazakhubeka, banikelane, bazondane.
Lukumbi lwenulo vamahele yati vakuyileka sadika yavi kung'anamukilana na kuyomelana.
11 Futhi kuzavuka abaprofethi bamanga abanengi, baduhise abanengi.
Yati vihumila vamlota va udese vamahele yati vakuvakonga vandu vamahele.
12 Njalo ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabanengi luzaphola;
Ndava ya kuyonjokeseka neju uhakau ndi uganu wa vandu vamahele yati wipungula.
13 kodwa ophikelelayo kuze kube sekupheleni, nguye ozasindiswa.
Nambu mweisindimala mbaka pamwishu ndi mweisanguliwa.
14 Njalo lelivangeli lombuso lizatshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke kube yibufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke kuzafika ukuphela.
Lilovi la Bwina yati likokoselewa pamilima yoha muni vandu voha vayuwanayi kwakona mwishu kuhika.”
15 Ngakho nxa libona amanyala encithakalo, akhulunywa nguDaniyeli umprofethi, emi endaweni engcwele (obalayo kaqedisise),
“Hinu pemwilola ‘Chindu chechiyomesa’ Chechijoviwi na Danieli mweavi mlota wa Chapanga liyimili pandu Pamsopi pa Nyumba ya Chapanga,” Mweisoma na amanyai,
16 khona labo abaseJudiya kababalekele ezintabeni;
penapo ndi vevavi ku Yudea vajumbalila kuchitumbi.
17 ophezu kophahla lwendlu angehli ukuthatha ulutho endlini yakhe;
Mweavi kunani ya nyumba yaki akotoka kuhuluka kutola chindu munyumba yaki.
18 losemasimini angabuyeli emuva ukuyathatha izembatho zakhe.
Na mundu mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele, kutola nyula yaki.
19 Kodwa maye kwabakhulelweyo labamunyisayo ngalezonsuku!
Lukumbi lwenulo vamau mwemuvi na ndumbu na mwemunyong'esa yati mwing'aika neju!
20 Kodwa khulekani ukuthi ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika, loba ngesabatha.
Ndi mumuyupayi Chapanga kutila kwinu kukotoka kuvya mu ligono la mbepu amala Ligono la Kupumulila!
21 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ukuhlupheka okukhulu, okungazanga kube khona kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba kuze kube khathesi, njalo okungasayikuba khona.
Ndava muni lukumbi lwenulo yati kwivya na mang'ahiso gakulu gangahumila kuhuma kutumbula kwa mulima mbaka lelu, katu yihumila lepi kavili.
22 Uba-ke lezonsuku bezingafinyezwanga, bekungesindiswe nyama; kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezonsuku zizafinyezwa.
Ngati magono genago yagapungwizwi lepi, kawaka mundu mweasanguliwi, nambu ndava ya vevahaguliwi vala ndi magono genago gapungwizi.
23 Ngalesosikhathi nxa umuntu esithi kini: Khangelani, nangu uKristu, kumbe nanguya, lingakholwa.
“Hinu, magono genago mundu akavajovela, ‘Lola, Kilisitu Msangula!’ ‘Avi apa amala avi pala!’ Mkoto kusadika.
24 Ngoba kuzavuka okristu bamanga labaprofethi bamanga, benze izibonakaliso ezinkulu lezimangaliso, ukuze kuthi, nxa kungenzeka, baduhise labakhethiweyo.
Muni yati vihumila vakina Kilisitu vangi va udese na vamlota va udese. Yati vihenga ulangisu uvaha na gachinamtiti muni vavakonga yikahotoleka hati vevahaguliwi na Chapanga.
25 Khangelani, sengilitshelile ngaphambili.
Myuwanila, nimali kuvajovela, kwakona lukumbi kubwela.”
26 Ngakho uba bengathi kini: Khangelani, usenkangala, lingaphumi; khangelani, usendlini yensitha, lingakholwa.
“Hinu ngati vakavajovelai mlola Kilisitu Msangula, avi kulugangatu, mkotoka kuhamba, amala mlola ajifiyili mugati, mkoto kusadika,
27 Ngoba njengalokhu umbane ubaneka empumalanga ukhanye lentshonalanga, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
Ndava kubwela kwa Mwana wa Mundu yati kulolekana ngati lumuli lwa mbamba chelumweta kuhuma kwe lihumila lilanga mbaka kwe litipama lilanga.
28 Ngoba loba ngaphi lapho okukhona isidumbu, lapho amanqe azabuthana khona.
Pala peuvi mtuhi ndi pagikonganeka manditi.”
29 Njalo masinyane emva kokuhlupheka kwalezonsuku, ilanga lizafiphazwa, lenyanga kayiyikupha ukukhanya kwayo, lenkanyezi zizakuwa ezulwini, lamandla amazulu azazanyazanyiswa.
“Bahapo pegimalika mang'ahiso ga magono ago, lilanga yati lisopiwa chitita, mwehi lwalava lepi na lumuli, ndondo yati zigwa kuhumila kunani kumahundi, na makakala vindu vevivi kunani yati vinyugusika.
30 Khona-ke sizabonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu; njalo besezikhala zonke izizwe zomhlaba, sezibona iNdodana yomuntu isiza emayezini ezulu ilamandla lenkazimulo enkulu.
Kangi, ulangisu wa Mwana wa Mundu yati yiwonekana kunani, ndi penapo makabila goha ga pamulima apa yati givembeneka kumuyupa Chapanga, yati vakumlola Mwana wa Mundu ibwela kuhuma kunani ku mahundi avi na makakala na ukulu neju.
31 Njalo izathuma izingilosi zayo lokukhala okukhulu kophondo, beseziqoqa abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni emine, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wamazulu kuze kube komunye umkhawulo wawo.
Lwami luvaha lwa lipenenga yati luyuwanika, mwene akuvatuma vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga na kuhamba kuvakemela vala voha vevahaguliwi na Chapanga, kuhuma pandi zoha mcheche za mulima, kuhuma mwishu umonga wa pamulima mbaka mwishu uwu wungi.”
32 Kodwa fundani umfanekiso emkhiweni; nxa khathesi ugatsha lwawo selusiba buthakathaka, njalo luhlume amahlamvu, liyazi ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze;
“Mujiwula kuhuma mkongo wa mtini, bahapo limbanda laki lakatumbula kumela na kuhomola mahamba, mwimanya kuvya lukumbi lwa kubena luvi papipi.
33 ngokunjalo lani, nxa libona lezizinto zonke, yazini ukuthi kuseduze kuseminyango.
Mewawa na nyenye pemwilola mambu genago goha chegihumila, mumanya kuvya lukumbi luvi papipi.
34 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesisizukulwana asisoze sidlule, kuze kwenzeke zonke lezizinto.
Chakaka nikuvajovela, chiveleku chenichi chipita lepi kwakona mambu genago kuhumila.
35 Kuzadlula izulu lomhlaba, kodwa amazwi ami awasoze adlule.
Kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima yati ziwuka, nambu malovi gangu katu giwuka lepi.”
36 Kodwa lolosuku lehola kakho owaziyo ngalo, ngitsho lezingilosi zemazulwini, ngaphandle kukaBaba kuphela.
“Nambu kulivala ligono amala lisaa lenilo, avi lepi mundu mwaimanya lubwela ndali, hati vamitumu va kunani amala Mwana. Nga Dadi mwene ndi mweimanya.
37 Kodwa njengensuku zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
Ndava muni ngati chayavi lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi mewawa cheyivya peibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
38 Ngoba njengakulezonsuku ezaziphambili kukazamcolo babesidla benatha, bethatha besendiswa, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini,
Muni lusenje lwenulo kwakona kutonya fula yikulu, vandu vakalilya na kunywa, na vigega na kugegewa, mbaka lukumbi Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha weukemiwa Safina.
39 njalo babengazi, kwaze kwafika uzamcolo wasebasusa bonke, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.
Vamanyili lepi chechahumila mbaka fula yikulu payabweli na kuvayola voha. Ndi yivya mewawa paibwela Mwana wa Mundu.
40 Ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ababili ensimini; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiywe;
Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
41 kuzakuthi abesifazana ababili bechola elitsheni; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiywe.
Vamau vavili yati vivya mukuyaga mabenu, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi ilekewa.
42 Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izafika ngaliphi ihola.
Hinu, mujiyangalila! Ndava muni mmanyi lepi ligono la kubwela Bambu winu.
43 Kodwa yazini lokhu, ukuthi uba umninindlu ebewazi umlindo isela elizafika ngawo, ubezalinda, futhi ubengayikuvuma ukuthi indlu yakhe ifohlelwe.
Nambu mumanya lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba kuvya amanyai ligono leibwela mhiji, ngaajitendekili, ngaayileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi na mhiji.
44 Ngakho lani hlalani lilungile; ngoba ngehola elingalicabangiyo, iNdodana yomuntu izakuza.
Ndava yeniyo, mewawa nyenye mujitendelekela, muni Mwana wa Mundu yati ibwela lisaa mwangalimanya.”
45 Pho ngubani inceku ethembekileyo lehlakaniphileyo, inkosi yayo eyibeke phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuthi ibanike ukudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Wu, yani ndi mtumisi msadikika na mweavi na luhala? Mkulu waki amuvikii kuvayimalila vatumisi vayaki, avapela chakulya pa lukumbi lwaki.
46 Ibusisiwe leyonceku, okuzakuthi inkosi yayo nxa ifika izayifica isenza njalo.
Ahekayi mtumisi yula, mkulu waki akawuya yati akumkolela ihenga mewa.
47 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Izayibeka phezu kwakho konke elakho.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, mkulu waki yati akumvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuvya myimilila wa vindu vyaki vyoha.
48 Kodwa nxa leyonceku embi isithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami iphuzile ukubuya,
Nambu ngati mtumisi yula mhakau akahololela mumtima waki kuvya mkulu waki ichelewa kuwuya,
49 njalo ibisiqala ukutshaya abayizinceku kanye layo, lokudla lokunatha lezidakwa,
kangi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi na kutumbula kulya na kunywa pamonga na vachigaligali.
50 inkosi yaleyonceku izafika ngosuku engayilindele ngalo, langehola engalaziyo,
Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono angalimanya na lisaa angahololela.
51 izayiquma phakathi, izanika isabelo sayo labazenzisi; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Mkulu waki yati akumdumulana neju hipandi na kumvika lilundu limonga na la vandu vevakujikita vabwina kwenuko ndi yati ivemba na kuyaga minu.”
