Luka 21
1Wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona abanothileyo bephosela izipho zabo endaweni yomnikelo.
2Wabona nomfelokazi othile ompofu ephonsa khona amafadingi amabili.
3Wathi: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lo mfelokazi ompofu ubeke okuningi kunabo bonke;
4Ngokuba bonke laba baphosele eminikelweni kaNkulunkulu kokuchichima kwabo, kepha yena ekusweleni kwakhe ubeke konke abephila ngakho.
5Kwathi abanye besakhuluma ngethempeli, ukuthi lihlotshiswe ngamatshe amahle lezipho, wathi:
6Ngokuqondene nalezi zinto enizibonayo, kuyeza izinsuku okungayikushiywa ngazo itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.
7Basebembuza besithi: Mfundisi, kodwa lezizinto zizakuba nini? futhi siyakuba yini isibonakaliso lapho lezi zinto zizokwenzeka na?
8Wathi: “Xwayani ningadukiswa; nesikhathi sisondele; ngakho-ke ningabalandeli.
9Kepha nxa nizwa ngezimpi neziyaluyalu, ningethuki; kepha ukuphela akusikho masinyane.
10Wasesithi kubo: Isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso.
11Kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu ezindaweni ngezindawo, nendlala, nezifo eziwumshayabhuqe; kuyakuba khona izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinkulu ezivela ezulwini.
12Kepha ngaphambi kwakho konke lokho bayakunibamba, banizingele, baninikele emasinagogeni nasematilongweni, niyiswe phambi kwamakhosi nababusi ngenxa yegama lami.
13Kuzaphendukela kini kube ngubufakazi.
14Ngakho kugcineni ezinhliziyweni zenu ukuba ningacabangi ngaphambili eniyakuziphendulela ngakho;
15Ngokuba ngiyakuninika umlomo nokuhlakanipha, abangayikuphika noma ukumelana nabo bonke abamelene nani.
16Niyakukhashelwa nangabazali, nabafowenu, nezihlobo, nabangane; abanye benu bayakubabulala.
17niyakuzondwa ngabantu bonke ngenxa yegama lami.
18Kodwa kakuyikubhubha unwele lwekhanda lenu.
19Ekubekezeleni kwenu niyazuza imiphefumulo yenu.
20Lapho nibona iJerusalema lihaqwe amabutho, yazini-ke ukuthi sekusondele ukuchithwa kwalo.
21Khona abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni; nabaphakathi kwawo mabaphume baphume; nabasemaphandleni bangangeni kuwo.
22Ngoba lezi kuyizinsuku zokuphindisela, ukuze kugcwaliseke konke okulotshiweyo.
23Kodwa maye kwabakhulelweyo nabancelisayo ngalezo zinsuku! ngokuba kuyakuba-khona ukuhlupheka okukhulu ezweni nolaka phezu kwalaba bantu.
24Bayakuwa ngosiko lwenkemba, bathunjelwe ezizweni zonke, iJerusalema liyakunyathelwa phansi ngabezizwe, kuze kugcwaliseke izikhathi zabezizwe.
25Kuyakuba khona izibonakaliso elangeni nasenyangeni nasezinkanyezini; nasemhlabeni usizi lwezizwe, zididekile; kuhlokoma ulwandle namagagasi;
26Izinhliziyo zabantu ziphela amandla ngokwesaba nangokubheka izinto ezizayo emhlabeni, ngokuba amandla ezulu ayakuzanyazanyiswa.
27Khona-ke bayakubona iNdodana yomuntu iza ngeyezi inamandla nenkazimulo enkulu.
28Nxa lezi zinto seziqala ukwenzeka, sukumani niphakamise amakhanda enu; ngoba ukukhululwa kwenu sekusondele.
29Wasebatshela umfanekiso; Bhekani umkhiwane nemithi yonke;
30nxa isihluma, niyabona, nazi ngokwenu ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze.
31Kanjalo nani, nxa nibona lezizinto zenzeka, yazini ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze.
32Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikudlula, kungakenzeki konke.
33Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awasoze adlula.
34Ziqapheleni nina, funa izinhliziyo zenu zisindwe ukuminza, nokudakwa, nezinkathazo zalokhu kuphila, lunifike lolo suku kungazelelwe.
35Ngokuba njengogibe liyakufika phezu kwabo bonke abahlezi ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
36Ngakho lindani njalo, likhuleke, ukuze kuthiwe lifanele ukuphunyuka kuzo zonke lezizinto eziyakwenzeka, lokuma phambi kweNdodana yomuntu.
37Emini wayefundisa ethempelini; ebusuku waphuma wayahlala entabeni ethiwa iNtaba Yeminqumo.
38Bonke abantu babesiza kuye ekuseni kakhulu ethempelini ukuba bamzwe.
