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.
Yesu pakamalaliti kuwalagalira wafundwa lilongu na wawili, kawukiti pahala paliya na kagenditi kufunda na kubwera lushi zya pakwegera palii.
2 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
Yohani Mbatiza pakapikaniriti vitwatira vya Kristu vyakatenda, yomberi kawatumiti wafundwa wakuwi kwa Yesu.
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
Womberi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gutugambiri gwenga gwa yumu yakatakulitwi na Yohani, ama tumuheperi gwingi?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri Yohani vitwatira vyampikinira na kuviwona,
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:
wanalwisi wawona na wavibyeketu wagendagenda, woseri yawalwala ungumbula wapungwa na wanamajogu wapikinira na wahowiti wankuzyukisiwa na Visoweru Viwagira vibwelwa kwa wahushu.
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Mbaka kwa wantu woseri yawawera ndiri na lyoga na neni!”
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?
Wafundwa wa Yohani pawawukiti, Yesu kanjiti kuwagambira lipinga lya wantu, “Hashi, pamgenditi kumlola Yohani kushiwala, mgenditi kulola shishi? Visoweru vya Yohani, mgenditi kulola shishi? Hashi mgenditi kulola lyega lyankutikisiya luhamba?
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.
Su, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola muntu yakavaliti nguwu iherepa? Wantu yawavala nguwu ziherepa walikala munumba zya wafalumi!
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
Mung'ambiri, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola mbuyi gwa Mlungu? Yina nakaka, kumbiti mwona vitwatira vivuwa kuliku mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
10 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Yohani ndo yumu yawamlembiti Mumalembu mananagala, ‘Mlungu kalonga, hanumtumi mjumbi gwangu hakakulonguleri na kukunyawira njira.’
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.
Nukugambirani nakaka handa Yohani Mbatiza ndo mkulu kuliku muntu yoseri yakalikala. Kumbiti muntu yakawera mdidini Muufalumi wa kumpindi ndo mkulu kuliku Yohani.
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.
Kwanjira shipindi Yohani Mbatiza pakabweriti ujumbi wakuwi mpaka leru, ufalumi wa kumpindi wantu wankwingira kwa makakala na wantu wana makakala ndo hawawingiri.
13 For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.
Mpaka shipindi sha Yohani, wambuyi woseri wa Mlungu na Malagaliru ga Musa galembwa kuusu Ufalumi.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
Handa pamuweza kujimira ujumbi wawu, Yohani ndo Eliya mekizi.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Yakana makutu su kapikaniri!
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
“Su, nuwafananiziyi na shishi wantu wa mashaka aga? Walifana gambira wana yawalikala pahala pa soku. Wawera pawaligambiziyana na shipinga shimonga.
17 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
Twawagombirani msambu gwa ndowa, kumbiti mviniti ndiri! Twimba lwimbu lwa kudaya, kumbiti mlira ndiri.
18 For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Yohani pakiziti, koya kuliya na kalanda ndiri divayi na kila muntu kalonga, ‘Yomberi kana shamshera!’
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 gwa Muntu pakiziti, kaliya na kalanditi divayi na kila muntu katakuliti, ‘Mumloli muntu ayu! Kana lwaliya na mlowera na ndo ganja gwa watola kodi na yawawera na vidoda!’ Luhala lwa Mlungu lwankulanguziya kuwera iherepa kulawirana na gakatendaga.”
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
Shakapanu Yesu kanjiti kuzilawumu lushi zakatenditi mauzauza guvuwa, wantu wakuwi wafira ndiri kugalambuka kulawa muvidoda vyawatenda.
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.
“Shondi Kolazini! Shondi Betisayida! Handa mauzauza aga yagatendikiti kwaku megatendikiti Tiru na Sidoni, wantu wakuwi mewavali kala malobota na kulipakaziya livu, kulilanguziya kuwera waleka vidoda vyawatenda.
22 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
Nukugambirani nakaka kuwera mulishaka lya Mlungu lya kutozwa, hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa lushi lwa Tiru na Sidoni kuliku mwenga.
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)
Nagwenga Kafarinaumu! Hashi, gufira kulikweniziya gamweni kumpindi kwa Mlungu? Hawakusulusiyi mpaka mulirindi lyalihera upeleru! Handa mauzauza yagatendikiti kwa gwenga, megatendeki ku Sodoma, lushi alu meluweri mpaka leru! (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.
Nukugambirani kuwera mulishaka lya kutozwa Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa Sodoma kuliku mwenga!”
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.
Shipindi shilii Yesu katakuliti, “Tati, Mtuwa gwa kumpindi na pasi panu! Mayagashii toziya guwalanguziya wadidika vitwatira vyaguwafifiti yawawera na luhala na yawawera na mahala.
26 Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Yina Tati, hangu ndo ntambu yagufiriti vilawiri.
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].
“Tati gwangu kanupa vintu vyoseri. Kwahera yakammana Mwana ira Tati na kwahera yakammana Tati ira Mwana na goseri galii gakafira kumgambira Mwana, su kamgambira.
28 Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Mwizi kwaneni woseri mwenga yamtokiti kupapa visanka vizotopa na neni hanuwatendi moyeri.
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;
Mjimili vilii vyanuwapanani mwenga na mulifundi kulawa kwaneni, toziya neni namupoli na mnanagala mu rohu na mwenga hamwoyeri.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Toziya shilii shanuwalagaliriti ndo shiherepa kwa mwenga na shanuwapanani mpapi ndo shizotopa ndiri.”
