Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished teaching His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Ndipo Yesu atamaliza kulangiza ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri aja, anachoka kumeneko kupita kukaphunzitsa ndi kukalalikira ku mizinda ya ku Galileya.
2 And John hearing in the prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples,
Yohane ali mʼndende anamva zimene Khristu ankachita, ndipo anatumiza ophunzira ake kukamufunsa Iye.
3 said to Him, Art thou He who is coming, or must we expect another?
Anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi Inu ndinu uja ankanena kuti mudzabwerayu kapena tidikire wina?”
4 Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim unto John the things which you hear and see.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Bwererani ndi kukamuwuza Yohane zimene mwamva ndi kuona.
5 The blind are looking up, and the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised, and the poor are having the gospel preached unto them:
Osaona akuona, olumala akuyenda, akhate akuchiritsidwa, osamva akumva, akufa akuukitsidwa ndipo Uthenga Wabwino ukulalikidwa kwa osauka.
6 and blessed is he, whosoever may not be offended in me.
Odala ndi munthu amene sakhumudwa chifukwa cha Ine.”
7 And they departing, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out in the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?
Pamene ophunzira a Yohane ankachoka, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula kwa gulu la anthu za Yohane kuti, “Kodi munkapita ku chipululu kuti mukaone chiyani? Kodi bango logwedezeka ndi mphepo?
8 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those wearing soft raiment are in the houses of the kings.
Nanga munkapita kukaona chiyani, munthu wovala zokongola? Ayi, wovala zokongola amakhala mʼnyumba za mafumu.
9 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet:
Nanga munkapita kukaona chiyani? Mneneri kodi? Inde ndikuwuzani kuti munkakaona woposa mneneri.
10 for this is he, concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before my face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
Uyu ndi amene malemba akunena za iye kuti, “Ine ndidzatuma mthenga wanga patsogolo panu amene adzakonza njira yanu.
11 Truly I say unto you, Among those having been born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: nevertheless the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti pakati pa obadwa ndi mkazi sipanaoneke wina aliyense wamkulu woposa Yohane Mʼbatizi; komatu amene ndi wamngʼono kwambiri mu ufumu wakumwamba ndi wamkulu koposa iye.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
Kuyambira masiku a Yohane Mʼbatizi mpaka tsopano, ufumu wakumwamba ndi wolimbirana ndipo anthu amphamvu okha ndi amene akuwulanda.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John.
Pakuti aneneri onse ndi malamulo ananenera kufikira nthawi ya Yohane.
14 And if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come.
Ndipo ngati inu mufuna kulandira izi, iyeyu ndi Eliya amene ankanena kuti adzabwera uja.
15 Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
Iye amene ali ndi makutu amve.
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to their comrades, and saying,
“Kodi mʼbado uwu ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani? Uli ngati ana opezeka mʼmisika amene akuyitana anzawo nʼkumati:
17 We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not lament.
“‘Tinakuyimbirani zitoliro, koma inu simunavine; ife tinayimba nyimbo zamaliro, koma inu simunalire.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Pakuti Yohane sanabwerere kudya kapena kumwa koma iwo ankanena kuti, ‘Iye anali ndi chiwanda.’
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous and wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners. Wisdom is truly justified by her children.
Mwana wa Munthu anabwera ndi kumadya ndi kumwa koma iwo akuti, ‘Munthu wadyera, woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi bwenzi la ochimwa.’ Koma nzeru imatsimikizika kuti ndi yolondola mwa ntchito zake.”
20 Then He began to upbraid the cities in which the most mighty works of His were performed, because they did not repent.
Pamenepo Yesu anayamba kudzudzula mizinda imene zodabwitsa zake zambiri zinachitikamo, chifukwa chakuti sinatembenuke mtima.
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! because if the mighty works which were wrought in you had been in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“Tsoka kwa iwe Korazini! Tsoka kwa iwe Betisaida! Ngati zodabwitsa zimene zinachitika mwa iwe zikanachitidwa mu Turo ndi Sidoni, iwo akanalapa kale atavala ziguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
22 Moreover I say unto you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
Koma ndikuwuzani inu kuti pa tsiku lachiweruzo mlandu wa Turo ndi Sidoni udzachepako kusiyana ndi wanu.
23 And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shall be cast down to Hades: because if the mighty works which were wrought in thee had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Ndipo iwe Kaperenawo, kodi udzakwezedwa kufika kumwamba? Ayi, udzatsitsidwa mpaka pansi kufika ku Hade. Ngati zodabwitsa zimene zinachitika mwa iwe, zikanachitika mu Sodomu, bwenzi iye alipo kufikira lero. (Hadēs g86)
24 Moreover I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti pa tsiku la chiweruziro mlandu wa Sodomu udzachepako kusiyana ndi wanu.”
25 At that time Jesus responding said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and reveal them unto babes.
Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu anati, “Ine ndikukuyamikani Inu Atate Ambuye akumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, chifukwa Inu mwawabisira zinthu izi anzeru ndi ophunzira ndi kuziwulula kwa ana angʼonoangʼono.
26 Yea, Father, because it was so well pleasing in thy sight.
Inde, Atate, ichi chinali chokukomerani Inu.
27 All things were delivered unto me by my Father: and no one perfectly knows the Son, except the Father; neither does any one perfectly know the Father, except the Son; and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.
“Zinthu zonse zapatsidwa kwa Ine ndi Atate anga. Palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Mwana kupatula Atate ndipo palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Atate kupatula Mwana ndi kwa iwo amene Mwana awasankha kuwawululira.
28 Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
“Idzani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; because I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa. Ndipo inu mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Pakuti goli langa ndi losavuta ndipo katundu wanga ndi wopepuka.”
