Ndebele Bible 1978 (iBhayibhili Elingcwele 1978)

← Chapter 23 Jump to: Chapter 25 →

1UJesu wasephuma wasuka ethempelini; basebesondela abafundi bakhe ukumtshengisa izakhiwo zethempeli.

2UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kaliziboni yini zonke lezizinto? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akusoze kutshiywe lapha ilitshe elilodwa phezu kwelitshe, elingasoze lidilizelwe phansi.

3Kwathi esehlezi entabeni yeMihlwathi, abafundi beza kuye bebodwa, bathi: Sitshele, lezizinto zizakuba nini? Lesibonakaliso sokuza kwakho, lesokuphela kwesikhathi sizakuba yini?

4UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Qaphelani, kungabi khona oliduhisayo;

5ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami, besithi: Mina nginguKristu; futhi baduhise abanengi.

6Njalo lizakuzwa ngezimpi lamahungahunga ezimpi; nanzelelani, lingethuki; ngoba konke lokhu kufanele kwenzeke; kodwa ukuphela kakukabi khona.

7Ngoba isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso u vuk ele umbuso; njalo kuzakuba khona indlala labomatshayabhuqe bezifo lokuzamazama komhlaba indawo ngendawo;

8kodwa zonke lezizinto ziyikuqala kwemihelo.

9Lapho-ke bazalinikela ekuhluphekeni, balibulale; futhi lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yebizo lami.

10Njalo ngalesosikhathi abanengi bazakhubeka, banikelane, bazondane.

11Futhi kuzavuka abaprofethi bamanga abanengi, baduhise abanengi.

12Njalo ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabanengi luzaphola;

13kodwa ophikelelayo kuze kube sekupheleni, nguye ozasindiswa.

14Njalo lelivangeli lombuso lizatshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke kube yibufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke kuzafika ukuphela.

15Ngakho nxa libona amanyala encithakalo, akhulunywa nguDaniyeli umprofethi, emi endaweni engcwele (obalayo kaqedisise),

16khona labo abaseJudiya kababalekele ezintabeni;

17ophezu kophahla lwendlu angehli ukuthatha ulutho endlini yakhe;

18losemasimini angabuyeli emuva uku ya thatha izembatho zakhe.

19Kodwa maye kwabakhulelweyo labamunyisayo ngalezonsuku!

20Kodwa khulekani ukuthi ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika, loba ngesabatha.

21Ngoba ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ukuhlupheka okukhulu, okungazanga kube khona kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba kuze kube khathesi, njalo okungasayikuba khona.

22Uba-ke lezonsuku bezingafinyezwanga, bekungesindiswe nyama; kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezonsuku zizafinyezwa.

23Ngalesosikhathi nxa umuntu esithi kini: Khangelani, nangu uKristu, kumbe nanguya, lingakholwa.

24Ngoba kuzavuka okristu bamanga labaprofethi bamanga, benze izibonakaliso ezinkulu lezimangaliso, ukuze kuthi, nxa kungenzeka, baduhise labakhethiweyo.

25Khangelani, sengilitshelile ngaphambili.

26Ngakho uba bengathi kini: Khangelani, usenkangala, lingaphumi; khangelani, us endlini yensitha, lingakholwa.

27Ngoba njengalokhu umbane ubaneka empumalanga ukhanye lentshonalanga, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.

28Ngoba loba ngaphi lapho okukhona isidumbu, lapho amanqe azakubuthana khona.

29Njalo masinyane emva kokuhlupheka kwalezonsuku, ilanga lizafiphazwa, lenyanga kayiyikupha ukukhanya kwayo, lenkanyezi zizakuwa ezulwini, lamandla amazulu azazanyazanyiswa.

30Khona-ke sizabonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu; njalo besezikhala zonke izizwe zomhlaba, sezibona iNdodana yomuntu isiza emayezini ezulu ilamandla lenkazimulo enkulu.

31Njalo izathuma izingilosi zayo lokukhala okukhulu kophondo, beseziqoqa abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni emine, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wamazulu kuze kube komunye umkhawulo wawo.

32Kodwa fundani umfanekiso emkhiweni; nxa khathesi ugatsha lwawo selusiba buthakathaka, njalo luhlume amahlamvu, liyazi ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze;

33ngokunjalo lani, nxa libona lezizinto zonke, yazini ukuthi kuseduze kuseminyango.

34Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesisizukulwana asisoze sidlule, kuze kwenzeke zonke lezizinto.

35Kuzadlula izulu lomhlaba, kodwa amazwi ami awasoze adlule.

36Kodwa lolosuku lehola kakho owaziyo ngalo, ngitsho lezingilosi zemazulwini, ngaphandle kukaBaba kuphela.

37Kodwa njengensuku zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntu.

38Ngoba njengakulezonsuku ezaziphambili kukazamcolo babesidla benatha, bethatha besendiswa, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini,

39njalo babengazi, kwaze kwafika uzamcolo wasebasusa bonke, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.

40Ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ababili ensimini; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiywe;

41kuzakuthi abesifazana ababili bechola elitsheni; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiywe.

42Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izafika ngaliphi ihola.

43Kodwa yazini lokhu, ukuthi uba umninindlu ebewazi umlindo isela elizafika ngawo, ubezalinda, futhi ubengayikuvuma ukuthi indlu yakhe ifohlelwe.

44Ngakho lani-ke hlalani lilungile; ngoba ngehola elingalicabangiyo, iNdodana yomuntu izakuza.

45Pho ngubani inceku ethembekileyo lehlakaniphileyo, inkosi yayo eyibeke phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuthi ibanike ukudla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo?

46Ibusisiwe leyonceku, okuzakuthi inkosi yayo nxa ifika izayifica isenza njalo.

47Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Izayibeka phezu kwakho konke elakho.

48Kodwa nxa leyonceku embi isithi enhliziyweni yayo: Inkosi yami iphuzile ukubuya,

49njalo ibisiqala ukutshaya abayizinceku kanye layo, lokudla lokunatha lezidakwa,

50inkosi yaleyonceku izafika ngosuku enga yi lindele ngalo, langehola engalaziyo,

51izayiquma phakathi, izanika isabelo sayo labazenzisi; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
