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.
Ikabhwa baada j'ha Yesu kumala kubhaj'helekesya bhanafunzi bha muene kumi na bhabhele abhokhili pala kulota kumanyisya ni kuhubiri mu miji ghiabhu,
2 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
ni Yohana bho aj'he kuligereza bho ap'heliki aj'hele panani pa matendo gha Kristu, alaghisye bhujumbe kup'etela bhanafunzi bha muene,
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
na bhakankota, “Bhebhe ndo j'hola j'ha ihida, au aj'hele j'hongi twilondeka kundendela?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
Yesu ajibili nikujobha kwa bhene “'Mulotayi mukan'jobhilayi Yohana ghala gha mukaghabhona ni kughap'heleka.
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:
Bhanu bhabhilolalepi bhibeta kulola, viwete bhibeta kutakasibhwa, bhana bhabhipeleke lepi bhib'eta kup'eleka kabhele, bhana bhabhafuili bhibetakufufulibhwa kukabha bhuhai, na bhanu bhabhilonda bhihubiriwa habari jhinofu.
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Na abarikibhu jhola jhaibhonalepi shaka juu jha nene.
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?
Pindi bhanu abha bhobhabhokili, Yesu akaj'handa kujobha ni bhumati kuhusu Yohana, “Kiki mwalotili kulola kulijangwa lidete lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
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.
Lakini kiki mwalotili kubhona munu j'haafuele mavazi mololo? Hakika, bhala bhabhifuala mavazi mololo bhitama mu nyumba sya bhafalme.
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
Lakini mwabhokhili kulola kiki-Nabii? Ena, nikabhajobhela, na zaidi j'ha Nabii.
10 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Oj'ho ndo aj'handikibhu, 'Langai, nikandaghisya mjumbe ghwangu mbele j'ha uso bhuakhu, ambaj'he ibetakuandala nj'hela j'ha bhebhe mbele j'ha bhebhe.
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.
Nene nikabhajobhela bhukweli, kati j'ha bhabhahogoliki ni bhadala aj'helepi j'haaj'he m'mbaha kuliko Yohana Mbatizaji. Lakini aj'hele n'debe mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ndo mmbaha kuliko muene.
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.
Kuhoma magono gha Yohana Mbatizaji mpaka henu, bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni bhwa ngofu, na bhanu bhenye ngofu, bhikautola kwa ngofu.
13 For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.
Kwa kuj'ja manabii ni sheria, imekuwa bhakitabiri mpaka kwa Yohana.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
Na kama muj'hela tayari kuj'hetekela, oj'ho ndo Eliya, j'hoola j'haihida.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
J'haaj'hele ni mbolokhoto sya kup'heleka na ap'helekai.
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
Nikil'eng'enesiayi ni kiki kizazi e'khe? ni mfwanu ghwa bhana bhabhikhina maeneo gha pa soko, babhitama ni kukutana
17 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
ni kujobha, 'Twabhakhobhili zamori na mwakinilepi. Twaombolizi, na mwal'elililepi.'
18 For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Kwa kuj'ha Yohana ahidili bila kulya nkate au kunywa mvinyo, na bhakaj'ha bhijobha, 'Aj'he ni pepo.'
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 ghwa Adamu ahidili akaj'ha ilya ni kunywa na bhajobhili 'Langai, munu mlyaji ni n'defi, nkamu ghwa bhatoza ushuru na bhenye dhambi!' Lakini heshima j'hidhihirishibhwa kwa matendo ghakhe.”
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
Yesu aj'handili kuj'hikhemela miji ambamo baadhi j'ha matendo ghakhe gha ajabu ghabhombiki, kwa ndabha bhabeli kutubu,
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.
Ole bhwakhu, Kolazini, Ole bhwakhu Bethsaida! Kama matendo mabhaha ngaghabhombiki Tiro ni Sidoni ghala ghaghabhombiki apa, ngabhaj'hele bhamali kutubu muandi kwa kufuala magunila ni kubakala malyenge.
22 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
Lakini j'hibetakuj'ha bhuvumilivu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni ligono lya hukumu kuliko kwa bhene.
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)
Bhebhe, Kapernaum, ghwidhanila ghwibetakuj'hinulibhwa hadi kumbinguni? Lepi ghwibeta kuselesibhwa hadi pasi kuzimu. Kama kwa Sodoma ni kubhombibhwa matendo mabhaha, kama kyaghabhombiki kwa bhebhe, ngaj'hij'hele hadi lelu. (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.
Bali nijobha kwa bhebhe kuj'ha j'hibetakuj'ha rahisi kwa nchi j'ha Sodoma kuj'hema ligono lya hukumu kuliko bhebhe.
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.
Katika muda obho Yesu ajobhili, “Nikusifu bhebhe, Tata, Bwana ghwa Mbingu ni Nchi, kwa ndabha ghwabhafighili mambo agha bhenye hekima ni bhufalme, ni kiughafunula kwa bhasio ni elimu, kama bhana bhadebe.
26 Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Tata kwa kuj'ha j'hakupendisi naha pamihu pa bhebhe.
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].
Mambo agha ghakabidhibhu kwa nene kuhoma kwa Tata. Na aj'helepi j'ha ammanyili mwana isipokuj'ha Tata, na aj'helepi j'haammanyili Mwana, na j'hej'hioha j'hola ambaj'he Mwana aj'he ni hamu j'ha kumfunulila.
28 Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Muhidai kwa nene, muenga mwebhobha mwamisumbulibhwa ni kuelemebhwa ni misighu misitu, nani nibetakukup'omosesya.
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;
Mwikipelai nira j'hangu ni mwikifundisiaghe kuhoma kwa nene, kwa kuj'ha nene ne nyenyekevu na mololo ghwa muoyo na mwikabha kuj'homosekelu ka nafsi syenu.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Kwa kuj'ha nira j'hangu j'hilaini ni misighu ghiangu mipepe.
