Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence 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 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
Nombe che Yohana paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵapilikene ngani ja masengo ga Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
akausye, “Ana mmwe ni ŵele ŵakwika ŵala pane twalolele ŵane?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaulanje nkaasalile che Yohana aila inkuipilikana ni kuilola.
5 Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
Ŵangalola akulola, ni ŵangajenda akwenda, ni ŵamatana akuswejeswa, ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana, ni ŵawe akusyuswa, ni ŵakulaga akusalilwa Ngani Jambone.
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Jwana upile jwele mundu jwangakungolela lipamba.”
7 But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by 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 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawete iwalo yambone? Ŵandu ŵakuwala iwalo yambone akutama mmajumba ga mamwenye.
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to 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 he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Jwelejo ni che Yohana, Akunnungu juŵangambaga mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, Nnole, nguntuma jwantenga jwangu mmbujo mwenu, juchakankolochesye litala lyenu.
11 Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens 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 But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on 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 have prophesied unto John.
Majiganyo gose ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Malajisyo gakunguluchile ngani ja umwenye wa Akunnungu mpaka katema ka che Yohana.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
Iŵaga nkusaka kwitichisya gelega, che Yohana ju ni che Elia juchaiche.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Jwakwete mapilikanilo, apilikane!
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
“Chinaulandanye ni chichi uŵelesi wu? Ulandene ni achachanda ŵaŵatemi paluŵala lwa kusumichisya malonda, ni kuŵechetesyana ni achinjao,
17 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
‘Twangombele ngoma nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
18 For John has come 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 has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by her children.
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 began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwakalipila ŵandu ŵa misi jo jiŵatesile yakusimonjeka, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganaleka sambi.
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented 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 say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula, ŵanyamwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
23 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until 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 say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula mmwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma.”
25 At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
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 Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Elo, Atati, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakunnonyela.
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 may be pleased 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 ye who labour and are 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 meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to 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.”
