UMARKO 13:14-37 XHO75

Ke kaloku, xa nithe nalibona isikizi lesiphanziso,• ekwakuthethwa lona ngoDaniyeli umprofeti, limi apho lingamele kuba khona (olesayo makaqiqe), mabathi ngelo xa abo bakwaYuda basabele ezintabeni. Ophezu kwendlu ke makangehli aye endlwini, angangeni aye kuthabatha into endlwini yakhe. Nalowo usentsimini makangabuyeli emva, aye kuthabatha ingubo yakhe. Yeha ke, abamithiyo nabanyisayo ngaloo mihla! Thandazani ke, ukuze intsabo yenu ingabi khona ebusika. Kuba yona loo mihla iya kuba yimbandezelo, engazanga ibekho enjalo kwasekuqalekeni kwendalo awayidalayo uThixo, kwada kwakalokunje; engasayi kubuya ibekho. Kanjalo ukuba iNkosi ibingayinqamlelanga loo mihla, bekungayi kubakho mntu usindayo; koko ithe ngenxa yabanyulwa ebanyulileyo, yayinqamlela imihla leyo. Ngelo xa ke, ukuba ubani uthe kuni, Nanku apha uKristu, nokuba uthe, Nankuya phaya, musani ukukholwa nguye; kuba kuya kuvela ooKristu ababuxoki, nabaprofeti ababuxoki, benze imiqondiso nemimangaliso yokulahlekisa nabanyuliweyo, ukuba bekunokwenzeka. Lumkani ke nina; yabonani, ndinixelele izinto zonke ngenxa engaphambili. Ngaloo mihla, emveni kwayo loo mbandezelo, liya kusuka ilanga lenziwe mnyama, ithi nenyanga ingabukhuphi ubumhlophe bayo; zithi neenkwenkwezi zezulu zivuthuluke; athi namandla asemazulwini azanyazanyiswe. Baya kumbona ke ngelo xesha uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini, enamandla amakhulu nobuqaqawuli. Uya kuzithuma ngelo xesha izithunywa zakhe, abahlanganisele ndawonye abanyulwa bakhe, baphume kumacala omané omoya, kuthabathela esiphelweni sehlabathi kuse esiphelweni sezulu. Wufundeni ke kuwo umkhiwane umzekeliso; xa selithe lathamba isebe lawo, lahluma amagqabi, niyazi ukuba likufuphi ihlobo. Ngokukwanjalo nani, xa nithe nazibona ezo zinto zisihla, yazini ukuba kukufuphi, sekusemnyango. Inene ndithi kuni, Asisayi kudlula esi sizukulwana, zingadanga zonke ezo zinto zibekho. Liya kudlula izulu nehlabathi, ke wona amazwi am akasayi kudlula. Kodwa akukho bani uwaziyo loo mhla nelo lixa, àzazi nezithunywa ezisemazulwini, akazi noNyana lo, kuphela nguYise. Lumkani, musani ukulala, thandazani. Kuba anilazi ukuba linini na ixesha elo; njengokuba wathi umntu ehambela kwelinye, eshiya indlu yakhe, wabanika igunya abakhonzi bakhe, elowo wamnika umsebenzi wakhe, waza umgcini-mnyango wamwisela umthetho ukuba alinde. Lindani ngoko, ngokuba ningàkwazi ukuba kunini na ukuza komninindlu: kuko ngokuhlwa, kuko phakathi kobusuku, kuko ekulileni kweenkuku, kuko kusasa; hleze afike ngebhaqo, anifumane nilele. Oko ndikutsho kuni, ndikutsho kubo bonke, Lindani.
