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.
Yesu peamali kuvapela malagizu vawuliwa vaki, kumi na vavili, akawuka penapo, kuhamba kuwula na kukokosa mumiji yeyavi papipi na Galilaya.
2 And John hearing in the prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples,
Yohani Mbatizaji akungiwi mu jela, peayuwini matendu ga Kilisitu, ndi avatumili vawuliwa vaki,
3 said to Him, Art thou He who is coming, or must we expect another?
vamkota Yesu, “Wu, veve ndi yula mweibwela, amala timlindila yungi?”
4 Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim unto John the things which you hear and see.
Yesu akavayangula, “Mhamba, mukamjovela Yohani gala gemukugalola na kuyuwana.
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:
Vangalola vilola na vangagenda vigenda, na vanamabudi vinyambiswa, na vangayuwa viyuwana na vevafwili viyukiswa na vangangu vikokoselewa Lilovi la Bwina.
6 and blessed is he, whosoever may not be offended in me.
Amotisiwa mundu yula mwangaleka kunisadika!”
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?
Hinu vawuliwa va Yohani vala pavawuyili, Yesu akavajovela msambi wa vandu wewamtindili, malovi ga Yohani, “Mwahambili kulugangatu kulola kiki? Wu mwaganili kulola linyai chelinyuguswa na mpungu?
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.
Hinu mwahambili kulola kyani? Mundu mweawalili nyula za kunyamba? Lola Vandu veviwala nyula za bwina vitama munyumba za vankosi.
9 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet:
Nambu mweambili kulola kyani? Mlota wa Chapanga? Ena, chakaka neju kuliku mlota wa Chapanga.”
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.
“Mwenuyu ndi Yohani mweajoviwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi. ‘Yuwanila nene nikumtuma mjumbi wangu akulongolela, kutendelekela njila yaku.’
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.
Nikuvajovela chakaka, pagati ya vandu vevitama pamulima angahumila mweavi mkulu kuliku Yohani Mbatizaji. Pamonga na ago yula mweavi mdebe neju muunkosi wa Chapanga, ndi mkulu kuliku Yohani.
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.
Kuhuma lukumbi lwa Yohani Mbatizaji mbaka lelu, Unkosi wa Chapanga ubelelewa neju, na vandu vevavi na makakala vilinga kuutola kwa makakala.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John.
Mawuliwu goha ga vamlota va Chapanga na vawula va Malagizu mbaka lukumbi ulu lwa Yohani galotili mambu ga lusenje lwa hinu.”
14 And if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come.
Ngati mwihotola kuyidikila aga, Yohani ndi Eliya mweibwela.
15 Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
Mweavi na makutu, ndi ayuwana!
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,
“Hinu nichiwanangisa na kyani chiveleku ichi? Ngati vasongolo vevitama pandu pa kugulisila vindu na msambi umonga ujovesana na wungi,
17 We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not lament.
‘Titovii ngo'ma nambu mumbeli kukina! Tiyimbili nyimbu za malilu nambu mvembi lepi!’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Ndava muni Yohani abwelili, aleki kulya chakulya ndava ya Bambu, anganywa divayi, vene vakajova, ‘Ana mzuka.’
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 Mundu abwelili ilya na kunywa vene vakajova, ‘Mumlola mundu uyu! Muhutulu na chigaligali, nkozi wa vatola kodi na vevakumbudila Chapanga!’ Pamonga na genaa luhala lwa Chapanga lumanyikana kuvya labwina ndava ya matendu gaki.”
20 Then He began to upbraid the cities in which the most mighty works of His were performed, because they did not repent.
Kangi Yesu akatumbula kuhakalila vandu miji yeahengili gachinamtiti gamahele nambu valekili lepi kumbudila Chapanga.
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.
“Mwalachikolela mwavandu va Kolazini! Mwalachikolela mwavandu va Betisaida! Muni, ngati gachinamtiti genihengili kwinu mbanga yagahengiki ku Tilo na ku Sidoni, vandu vaki ngavamali, kuwala magunila na kunyala malyenge vakotwiki kumbudila Chapanga.
22 Moreover I say unto you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
Nambu nikuvajovela mu ligono la uhamula nyenye yati mwihamuliwa neju kuliku vandu va ku Tilo na Sidoni.
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)
Na nyenye mwavandu va Kapelanaumu, wu, yati mukujikwiha mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga? Yati wiheleswa mbaka kuligodi litali langali mwishu! Ndava kuvya gachinamtiti gegahengiki kwa veve, yagahengiki ku Sodoma kula, muji wenuwo ngawasigalili mbaka lelu. (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.
Nambu nikuvajovela, ligono la uhamula veve yati wihamuliwa neju kuliku ya vandu va ku Sodoma!”
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.
Lukumbi lwenulo, Yesu ajovili, “Nikusengusa, Dadi, Bambu wa kunani na mulima! Ndava uvafiyili mambu genago vevavi na luhala na vasomaji, ndi uvagubukulii vana vadebe.”
26 Yea, Father, because it was so well pleasing in thy sight.
Ena, Dadi, ndi cheyikuganisi.
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.
“Dadi wangu anigotolili vindu vyoha. Avi lepi mweamumanyi Mwana nambu Dadi, mewa kawaka mweamumanyi Dadi nambu Mwana, na yeyoha yula ndi Mwana aganili kumgubukulila.
28 Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mbwela mwavoha kwangu, mwemwing'aiswa na kuyegemewa na ndwika na nene yati nikuvapumulisa.
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.
Mjikunga lingolingoli langu, mkajiwula kuhuma kwangu, muni nene ndi nampoli na mngolongondi wa mtima, na nyenye yati mpoleswa mumtima yinu.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Muni, lingolingoli langu litopa lepi ndwika yangu yiyuyuka.”
