Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵamalisisye kwalajisya ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili, ŵatyosile kweleko, ŵajawile kwiganya ni kulalichila mmisi jajili ku Galilaya.
2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
Nombe che Yohana paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵapilikene ngani ja masengo ga Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
akausye, “Ana mmwe ni ŵele ŵakwika ŵala pane twalolele ŵane?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaulanje nkaasalile che Yohana aila inkuipilikana ni kuilola.
5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
Ŵangalola akulola, ni ŵangajenda akwenda, ni ŵamatana akuswejeswa, ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana, ni ŵawe akusyuswa, ni ŵakulaga akusalilwa Ngani Jambone.
6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Jwana upile jwele mundu jwangakungolela lipamba.”
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
Nipele, ŵele ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵaliji nkwenda, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu ngani si che Yohana aninkuti, “Ana mwajawile kukulola chichi kwele kwipululu ko? Uli, mwajawile kukulilola litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?”
8 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawete iwalo yambone? Ŵandu ŵakuwala iwalo yambone akutama mmajumba ga mamwenye.
9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Nambo, ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, ngunsalila, jwakumpunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
10 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
Jwelejo ni che Yohana, Akunnungu juŵangambaga mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, Nnole, nguntuma jwantenga jwangu mmbujo mwenu, juchakankolochesye litala lyenu.
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Ngunsalila isyene, mwa ŵandu ŵakutama mu chilambo, nganatyochele mundu jwali jwankulungwa kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatisya. Nambo jwalijose jwakulolechela jwannandi mu Umwenye wa kwinani ali jwankulungwa kumpunda jwelejo.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
Chitandile katema kaŵalalichilaga che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mpaka lelo, umwenye wa kwinani ukukanikwa, ni ŵandu ŵaali ni machili akulinga kuujigala kwa machili.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
Majiganyo gose ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Malajisyo gakunguluchile ngani ja umwenye wa Akunnungu mpaka katema ka che Yohana.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
Iŵaga nkusaka kwitichisya gelega, che Yohana ju ni che Elia juchaiche.
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
Jwakwete mapilikanilo, apilikane!
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
“Chinaulandanye ni chichi uŵelesi wu? Ulandene ni achachanda ŵaŵatemi paluŵala lwa kusumichisya malonda, ni kuŵechetesyana ni achinjao,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
‘Twangombele ngoma nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Pakuŵa Che Yohana ŵaiche, ŵataŵaga ni nganang'waga divai, ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Akamwilwe ni masoka.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche, achilyaga ni aching'waga ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Munnole aju, jwakutolwa ni jwakolelwa, mmbusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’ Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lwawoneche kuŵa lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yakwe.”
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwakalipila ŵandu ŵa misi jo jiŵatesile yakusimonjeka, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganaleka sambi.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“Ulaje kukwenu ku Kolasini! Ulaje kukwenu ku Besesaida! Pakuŵa, ayi yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu, ikatendekwe akula ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni kula, ŵandu ŵakwe akawasile magunia ni kutama mu itutu kulosya kuti alesile sambi syao.
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula, ŵanyamwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
Nomwe Kapelenaumu ana chinlikusye mpaka kwinani? Chinchituluswa mpaka kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. Pakuŵa, yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu ikatendekwe ku Sodoma, wele musi wo ukaliji chiŵela mpaka lelo. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula mmwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma.”
25 At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Katema kakoko, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nguntogolela Atati, Ambuje ŵa kwinani ni chilambo, pakuŵa mwasisile indu yi ŵandu ŵa lunda ni ŵandu ŵa umanyilisi ni kwaunukulila ŵanache.
26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Elo, Atati, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakunnonyela.
27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
“Atati ŵangu ambele indu yose. Ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Mwana, akaŵe Atati, ni sooni ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Atati, akaŵe Mwana ni jwalijose jwakunsaka Mwana kuti ammunukulile.
28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Njisanje kukwangu ŵanyamwe wose unkusauka ni kutopelwa ni misigo jakutopa, none chinampumusye.
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.
Mungunde, nkalijiganye kukwangu, pakuŵa une ndili jwakutulala ni jwakulitulusya, nomwe chinkapumule mmitima jenu.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Pakuŵa chingunsalila mpanganye chili chambone kukwenu ni chingumpa njigale ngachikutopa.”
