Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Yesu peamali kuvapela malagizu vawuliwa vaki, kumi na vavili, akawuka penapo, kuhamba kuwula na kukokosa mumiji yeyavi papipi na Galilaya.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Yohani Mbatizaji akungiwi mu jela, peayuwini matendu ga Kilisitu, ndi avatumili vawuliwa vaki,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
vamkota Yesu, “Wu, veve ndi yula mweibwela, amala timlindila yungi?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Yesu akavayangula, “Mhamba, mukamjovela Yohani gala gemukugalola na kuyuwana.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Vangalola vilola na vangagenda vigenda, na vanamabudi vinyambiswa, na vangayuwa viyuwana na vevafwili viyukiswa na vangangu vikokoselewa Lilovi la Bwina.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Amotisiwa mundu yula mwangaleka kunisadika!”
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Hinu vawuliwa va Yohani vala pavawuyili, Yesu akavajovela msambi wa vandu wewamtindili, malovi ga Yohani, “Mwahambili kulugangatu kulola kiki? Wu mwaganili kulola linyai chelinyuguswa na mpungu?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Hinu mwahambili kulola kyani? Mundu mweawalili nyula za kunyamba? Lola Vandu veviwala nyula za bwina vitama munyumba za vankosi.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Nambu mweambili kulola kyani? Mlota wa Chapanga? Ena, chakaka neju kuliku mlota wa Chapanga.”
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
“Mwenuyu ndi Yohani mweajoviwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi. ‘Yuwanila nene nikumtuma mjumbi wangu akulongolela, kutendelekela njila yaku.’
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, pagati ya vandu vevitama pamulima angahumila mweavi mkulu kuliku Yohani Mbatizaji. Pamonga na ago yula mweavi mdebe neju muunkosi wa Chapanga, ndi mkulu kuliku Yohani.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Kuhuma lukumbi lwa Yohani Mbatizaji mbaka lelu, Unkosi wa Chapanga ubelelewa neju, na vandu vevavi na makakala vilinga kuutola kwa makakala.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mawuliwu goha ga vamlota va Chapanga na vawula va Malagizu mbaka lukumbi ulu lwa Yohani galotili mambu ga lusenje lwa hinu.”
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Ngati mwihotola kuyidikila aga, Yohani ndi Eliya mweibwela.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mweavi na makutu, ndi ayuwana!
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
“Hinu nichiwanangisa na kyani chiveleku ichi? Ngati vasongolo vevitama pandu pa kugulisila vindu na msambi umonga ujovesana na wungi,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned for you, and you did not lament.’
‘Titovii ngo'ma nambu mumbeli kukina! Tiyimbili nyimbu za malilu nambu mvembi lepi!’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Ndava muni Yohani abwelili, aleki kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, anganywa divayi, vene vakajova, ‘Ana mzuka.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Mwana wa Mundu abwelili ilya na kunywa vene vakajova, ‘Mumlola mundu uyu! Muhutulu na chigaligali, nkozi wa vatola kodi na vevakumbudila Chapanga!’ Pamonga na genaa luhala lwa Chapanga lumanyikana kuvya labwina ndava ya matendu gaki.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
Kangi Yesu akatumbula kuhakalila vandu miji yeahengili gachinamtiti gamahele nambu valekili lepi kumbudila Chapanga.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“Mwalachikolela mwavandu va Kolazini! Mwalachikolela mwavandu va Betisaida! Muni, ngati gachinamtiti genihengili kwinu mbanga yagahengiki ku Tilo na ku Sidoni, vandu vaki ngavamali, kuwala magunila na kunyala malyenge vakotwiki kumbudila Chapanga.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Nambu nikuvajovela mu ligono la uhamula nyenye yati mwihamuliwa neju kuliku vandu va ku Tilo na Sidoni.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades (Hadēs g86). For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
Na nyenye mwavandu va Kapelanaumu, wu, yati mukujikwiha mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga? Yati wiheleswa mbaka kuligodi litali langali mwishu! Ndava kuvya gachinamtiti gegahengiki kwa veve, yagahengiki ku Sodoma kula, muji wenuwo ngawasigalili mbaka lelu. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Nambu nikuvajovela, ligono la uhamula veve yati wihamuliwa neju kuliku ya vandu va ku Sodoma!”
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Lukumbi lwenulo, Yesu ajovili, “Nikusengusa, Dadi, Bambu wa kunani na mulima! Ndava uvafiyili mambu genago vevavi na luhala na vasomaji, ndi uvagubukulii vana vadebe.”
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Ena, Dadi, ndi cheyikuganisi.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
“Dadi wangu anigotolili vindu vyoha. Avi lepi mweamumanyi Mwana nambu Dadi, mewa kawaka mweamumanyi Dadi nambu Mwana, na yeyoha yula ndi Mwana aganili kumgubukulila.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Mbwela mwavoha kwangu, mwemwing'aiswa na kuyegemewa na ndwika na nene yati nikuvapumulisa.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Mjikunga lingolingoli langu, mkajiwula kuhuma kwangu, muni nene ndi nampoli na mngolongondi wa mtima, na nyenye yati mpoleswa mumtima yinu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Muni, lingolingoli langu litopa lepi ndwika yangu yiyuyuka.”
