Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
Zvino zvakaitika apo Jesu apedza kuraira vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akabvira ipapo kudzidzisa nekuparidza pamaguta avo.
2 Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him:
Zvino Johwani wakati anzwa ari mutirongo mabasa aKristu, akatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
3 Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?
akati kwaari: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titarisire umwe?
4 And Jesus making answer said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Endai munoudza Johwani zvinhu zvamunonzwa nezvamunoona:
5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Mapofu anoonazve, uye mhetamakumbo dzinofamba, vane maperembudzi vanonatswa, nevematsi vanonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa, nevarombo vanoparidzirwa evhangeri;
6 And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me.
wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
7 And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
Ava vakati vachienda, Jesu akatanga kuudza zvaunga pamusoro paJohwani akati: Makange mabuda kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozungunuswa nemhepo here?
8 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings.
Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vanopfeka zvakapfava vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
9 But what went you out to see? a prophet? yea I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura kwazvo muporofita;
10 For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
nokuti uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
11 Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna kumuka pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudikisa muushe hwekumatenga mukuru kwaari.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.
Uye kubva pamazuva aJohwani Mubhabhatidzi kusvikira zvino, ushe hwekumatenga hunopambiwa, nevapambi vanohutora nesimba.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John:
Nokuti vaporofita vese nemurairo vakaporofita kusvikira kuna Johwani;
14 And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.
zvino kana muchida kuzvigamuchira, uyu ndiye Eria wakange achizouya.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Une nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
16 But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.
Asi ndicharifananidza nei zera iri? Rakafanana nevana vagere pamisika, vachidanidzira kushamwari dzavo,
17 Who crying to their companions say: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented, and you have not mourned.
vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere, asi hamuna kutamba; takakuririrai, asi hamuna kuchema.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil.
Nokuti Johwani wakauya asingadyi kana kunwa, asi vanoti: Ane dhimoni.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children.
Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya achidya, achinwa, zvino vanoti: Tarirai munhu anokara uye munwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi. Asi njere dzinonzi dzakarurama nevana vadzo.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.
Ipapo akatanga kutsiura maguta makange maitwa mabasa ake esimba mazhinji, nokuti haana kutendeuka, akati:
21 Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.
Une nhamo, Korazini! Une nhamo, Bhetisaidha! Nokuti dai akaitwa muTire neSidhoni mabasa esimba akaitwa mamuri, vangadai vakatendeuka kare vakapfeka masaga nedota.
22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kuTire neSidhoni nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura imwi.
23 And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. (Hadēs g86)
Newe Kapenaume, wakasimudzirwa kudenga, uchawisirwa pasi muhadhesi; nokuti dai akaitwa muSodhoma mabasa esimba akaitwa mauri, vangadai vachipo kusvikira zuva rino. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kunyika yeSodhoma nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura iwe.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
Nenguva iyo Jesu akapindura akati: Ndinokutendai, Baba, Ishe wedenga nenyika, nokuti makavanzira zvinhu izvi vakachenjera nevakangwara, mukazvizarurira vacheche.
26 Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
Hongu Baba, nokuti zvakadaro zvakava zvakanaka pamberi penyu.
27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
Zvinhu zvese zvakakumikidzwa kwandiri naBaba vangu; uye hakuna anoziva Mwanakomana kunze kwaBaba; hakunazve anoziva Baba kunze kweMwanakomana, uye ani nani Mwanakomana waanenge achida kuzarurira.
28 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
Uyai kwandiri mese makaneta makaremerwa, uye ini ndichakupai zororo.
29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Torai joko rangu muise pamusoro penyu, mudzidze kwandiri, nokuti ndiri munyoro, ndakaderera mumoyo; uye muchawana zororo pamweya yenyu;
30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
nokuti joko rangu rakanakisa, nemutoro wangu wakareruka.
