Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
UYesu ye amalile kukuvavuula avavulanisvua vaake kijigho na vavili sino vanoghiile kuvomba, akavuuta pala, akaluta mu makaaja gha kighavo ikya Galilaya kupulisia na kuvulanisia avaanhu ilisio lya uNguluve.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
UYohani alyadindilue mu ndinde. Ye ali mu ndinde, akapulika imbombo sino uKilisite akava ivomba. Pe akasuung'ha avavulanisivua vaake.
3 and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
vamposie uYesu kuuti, Uve veeve KIlisite juno avavili valyavilile kuuti ilikwisa? Nave naveeve, tuhuvilaghe ujunge?
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Mulute mum'buule uYohani sooni sino musivwene na kupulika.
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them;
Avabofu vilola, avalema vighenda, avanya buuba vivalal, avanya mapula vipulika, avafue visyuka. Kange, avakotofu vipulisivua iMhola iNofu.
6 and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense.
Avafunyilue umuunhu juno ikunyitika une kisila nganighani”
7 As these were going away, 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?
Avavulanisivua va Yohani ye vavukile, UYesu akatengula kukulivuula ilipugha lila imhola isa Yohani, akati, 'Mukalutile ku lihaka kulola ikiki? Mwahuvilagha kukumwagha umuunhu juno ikeela kwitika ndavule ilitete lino likeela kudepa nui mhepo? Jeeje!
8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses.
Pe mukalutile kukola umuunhu juno ali ndaani? Asi, mukalutile kukola umuunhu juno afwalile amenda agha ndalama nyinga? Pulikisia, vaanhu vano vifwala amenda agha ndalama nyinga vikukala mu nyumba isa vatwa
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Lino pe mukalutile kulola umuunhu juno ali ndaani? Mukalutile kukumulola um'bili? Se seene! Nikuvavuula kuuti ujuo nam'bili lwene, looli ujuo m'baha kukila um'bili.
10 For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Ujuo ghwe juno imhola saake silembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Lolagha, nikusuung'ha unyamhola ghwango akulongolele. Ujuo ghwe ikukuling'hanikisyagha isila jaako.'
11 Verily, I say to you, Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
“Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti, ku vaanhu vooni naaghelile kuvoneka umuunhu um'baha kukila uYohani uMwofughi. Neke juno n'debe mu vutwa vwa kukyanya, m'baha kukila Yohani.
12 From the days of John the Immerser till now, the kingdom of heaven is taken by violence, and men of violence seize upon it eagerly.
Kuhuma ifighono fino uYohani uMwofughi ipulisia kuhanga kufika umusyughu, uvutwa vwa kukyanya vulondua ku ngufu, ve vano vighela pikwingila mu vutwa uvuo.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John;
Avavili vooni ni ndaghilo sa Moose filungika sino silivoneka kufika unsiki ughwa Yohani.
14 and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come.
Lino, nave mukwitika uvuvili vwave, uYohani ghwe Eliya jula juno alyajovilue kuuti ikwiisa.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Unya kupulika, apulikaghe.
16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
“Asi, nihwanikisie ni kiki avaanhu ava kisina iki? Vahwaniniine na vaana vano vineena ku lighulilo, neke vikuvavuula avajanave, viiti,
17 and saying: We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have wailed for you, and you have not lamented.
“Tuvakuviile ifilongilongi ifya lukeelo, namusejile! Tuvimbiile ulwimbo ulwa lusukunalo, namulilile!
18 For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon.
Fye lulivuo na jumue! UYOhani alisile, naalisagha nambekunyua, avaanhu vakati, 'Ali ni lpepo.'
19 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.
Neke une ne Mwana wa Muunhu nisile, nilia na kunyua, aveene viiti, “Uju nyamwojo, mughaasi! kange mmanyaani ghwa vasongesia songo, na vahosi!' Neke uvukagusi vwa Nguluve, vuvoneka vwa kyang'haani mu mbombo saake.”
20 Then he began to reprove the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
Pepano uYesu akatengula pikughadalikila amakaaja muno akavombile ifidegho finga, ulwakuva avaanhu mu makaaja aghuo navalyalatile inyivi saave. Akavavuula, akati,
21 Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which have been clone in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
'Iga mwe vaanhu va likaaja lya Kolasini! Iga mwe vaanhu va likaaja ilya Betisaida! Ulwakuva ifidegho fino nivombile kulyumue, fyale fivombeke ku likaaja ilya Tiilo ni lya Sidoni, avaanhu mu makaaja aghuo ngale valyalatile, Vaale vifwala amagunila na kupakala ilipembo kuhufia ululaato lwave.
22 But I say to you, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, than for you.
Lino likuvavuula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome, kukila ulwa vaanhu ava ku Tiilo na ku Sidoni.
23 And thou, Capernaum, that hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hades. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained till this day. (Hadēs g86)
Na jumue mwe vaanhu mu likaaja lya Kapelenaumu, mukuvona kuuti mulifika kukyanya kwa Nguluve? Jeeje, nafye luliiva! Looli ilikuvataagha paasi kuvuue. Ulwakuva ifidegho fino fivombiike kulyumue fyale fivombeke ku Sodoma, ilikaaaja ilio ngale kwelili nambe umusyughu. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Lino nikuvavula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome kukila ulwa likaaja ilya Sodoma.”
25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
Unsiki ughuo uYesu akajova akati, “Ghwe Nhaata, ghwe juno utemile kukyanya na paasi, nikikuhongesia ulwakuva imhola isi uvafisile avimbi na vakagusi, neke uvahufisie avaanhu vano vikujisia hweene vaana vadebe.
26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Eena Nhaata, ulwakuva uluo lwe luno ukeliile.”
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
“UNhaata ghwango anhavuliile fyoni. Neke na kwale juno ankagwile uMwana, looli ju Nhaata mwene. Kange, nakwale juno ankagwile uNhaata, looli uMwana, nu muunhu ghweni juno uMwana ilonda kukumhu
28 Come to me, all you that are weary, and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Mwisaghe kuklyune mweni mwe vano mupumusivua na na kulemua na masigho gha ndaghilo, une ikuvapeela kupuma.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
Mukundaghe kulongosivua nuune, ndavule ing'ombe vule silongosivua ni joki. Mumanyilaghe kulyune, ulwakuva une nili nkoola kange nili nu lujisio. Apuo pe muuva nu lutengaano mu moojo ghiinu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Ilijoki lyango nalilemasia, kange unsigho ghwango mpepe.
