Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
I, nako hayisika mu kumana Jesu a va layi Valutwana vakwe vene nkumi ni vovele, cha yenda kuzwaho ni kutanga kuluta ni ku kutaza mu mileneñi yabo.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Linu Joani na nga zuwa mwi ntolongo inkenzo za Kereste, cha tumina iñusa ni valutwana vakwe
3 said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
mi chi va wamba kwali, “Kana njiwe yo Keza, kapa kwina zumwi muntu utu swanela kulola?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,
Jesu ave tabi mi cha wamba kuvali, “Mu yende mi mukavihe kwa Joani zi mwa vona ni kuzuwa.
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
Zivofu va tambula kuvona, zihole zi yenda, ve mbingwa ba jolola, va sa zuwi va zuwe, va fwile va vukile vuhalo, mi vantu va saka ku zuwa linzwi va kutazwe.
6 and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”
Imbuyoti yi ve kwa vo, vasa nya nsilizi linzwi.”
7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? A reed shaken by the wind?
A va vakwame ha va yenda nzila yabo, Kereste cha tanga ku wambila chi chaba ka za Joani, “Zile muyendele nzi mwi Halaupa ku kalwela mpe zi hungiswa luhuho?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.
Linu zile muyendelezi ku kavona - muntu yo zavele zizwato zi huva? Initi, avo vazwata zizwato zi huvilila vahale muzubo ya simwine.
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
Chi nzi chi muyendela kuka bona, mupolofita? Ee, ni wamba kwenu, mi hahulu kuhita mupolofita.
10 for this is he of whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
Nji yena za kwe, zi ñoleletwe, 'Mu vone, ni tumina muhikana wangu havusu vwenu, ye se a lukise inzila yenu, havusu bwenu.'
11 Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Ni wamba kwenu, che niti, kwa vo, vava pepwa ku vanakazi, kakwina mukando kwa Joani Mukolobezi. Linu munini mu mubuso we Reeza, kwiwulu njo mukando.
12 And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
Ku zwa muma zuva a Joani Mukolobezi ku sika sunu, mubuso we Reeza uhindwa chamata mi vakwame vakali va u hinda cha kunyanga.
13 for all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
Vapolofita vonse ni mulao, vava polofiti konji kusika kwa Joani Mukolobazi.
14 and if you are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
Heba no tavela kutambula, uzu Elia, iye yo swanela kukeza.
15 he who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
Uzo, wina matwi akuzuwa, mu musiye atekeleze.
16 And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
Kani, vamba nye, ni chinzi kolu lusika? Kuswana sina vahwile, va kwete kuzanina ama wuzikizo a musika, vekele ni vali sumpa,
17 and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
ni bati, 'twa miliizikize mpeeta kono kana mwa zana. Twa silisa, kono kana mwa donsa zinsozi.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;
Kana Joani kana vezi kuku lya chinkwa, kapa kuñywa i waine, mi ni vata kuti wina, 'Madimona.'
19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of her children.”
Mwana'Muntu, abezi ku lya, ni kuñywa, ni vata kuti, 'Mu vwene, mukwame mulyabi, ni vudakwa, mulikana va telisi va mutelo, ni batenda zibi!' Kono vutali vu vwene kete chi vu tendwa.”
20 Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
Kuzwa aho, Jesu cha tanga ku kalimela minzi yonse ya vatendi I makazo mwa teni, kakuti kena vava vaki,
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had converted;
“Wina bumayi iwe Koranizini! Wina bumayi iwe Betsaida! Heva zikando ziva tendwa mu minzi ya Tire ni Sidoni ziba tendwa inwe ni ziva voleli kale za kuzwata masaka ni kulivumbeka mufuse.
22 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.
Kono kakuve kuhuva kwi koto ye katulo ya Tire ni Sidoni kuhita yenu.
23 And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
I we, Kapenauma, uzeza kuti mo yende kwiwulu? Nanta, mo bozwe mwi Hele. Sina mwa Sodoma muva tendelwe zikando ni kwenu, ni ziba shali bulyo kusikila lya sunu. (Hadēs g86)
24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
Kono, niti kwenu, ka ku huvahale munkanda ya Sodoma che nako ye nkatulo, kuhita kwenu.”
25 At that time Jesus answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.
Che nako iyo Jesu avati, “Ni lumbeka Tayo Ireeza, Simwine wewulu ne nkanda, kakuti aba humbili vatali, ku zuwisisa ni kwi zivahaza kwavo, va sali tutite, sina vahwile,
26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.
Ee, che niti, Tayo, kutendwe intanto yako.
27 All things were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].
Zintu zonse zi va tendwa cha Ngu kuzwila kwa Tayo, Mi kakwina nanga umwina wizi mwana konji Tayo, mi kakwina umwina wizi Tayo konji Mwana, mi kuzumwi sina Mwana' yo lakeze kulitondeza kwali.
28 Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;
Mwize kwa ngu, mwense mu lemenwe ni ku suntika, mi kani mihe mpumulo.
29 take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,
Muhinde i jokwe lya ngu mulikulike mi mulitute kwangu, kakuti nina chisemo ni nkulo indotu, mi ka muwanine inhuho zenu impumulo.
30 for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
Kakuti i jokwe lyangu ihuva mi muziyo wangu muhuva.”
