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.
Zvino zvakaitika apo Jesu apedza kuraira vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akabvira ipapo kudzidzisa nekuparidza pamaguta avo.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Zvino Johwani wakati anzwa ari mutirongo mabasa aKristu, akatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
3 said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
akati kwaari: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titarisire umwe?
4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Endai munoudza Johwani zvinhu zvamunonzwa nezvamunoona:
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
Mapofu anoonazve, uye mhetamakumbo dzinofamba, vane maperembudzi vanonatswa, nevematsi vanonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa, nevarombo vanoparidzirwa evhangeri;
6 and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”
wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
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?
Ava vakati vachienda, Jesu akatanga kuudza zvaunga pamusoro paJohwani akati: Makange mabuda kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozungunuswa nemhepo here?
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.
Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vanopfeka zvakapfava vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to 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 has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
nokuti uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
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.
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 Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
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 are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
zvino kana muchida kuzvigamuchira, uyu ndiye Eria wakange achizouya.
15 he who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
Une nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
16 And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
Asi ndicharifananidza nei zera iri? Rakafanana nevana vagere pamisika, vachidanidzira kushamwari dzavo,
17 and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere, asi hamuna kutamba; takakuririrai, asi hamuna kuchema.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;
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, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of 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 He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
Ipapo akatanga kutsiura maguta makange maitwa mabasa ake esimba mazhinji, nokuti haana kutendeuka, akati:
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;
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 to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kuTire neSidhoni nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura imwi.
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)
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 to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kunyika yeSodhoma nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura iwe.
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.
Nenguva iyo Jesu akapindura akati: Ndinokutendai, Baba, Ishe wedenga nenyika, nokuti makavanzira zvinhu izvi vakachenjera nevakangwara, mukazvizarurira vacheche.
26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.
Hongu Baba, nokuti zvakadaro zvakava zvakanaka pamberi penyu.
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].
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 laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;
Uyai kwandiri mese makaneta makaremerwa, uye ini ndichakupai zororo.
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,
Torai joko rangu muise pamusoro penyu, mudzidze kwandiri, nokuti ndiri munyoro, ndakaderera mumoyo; uye muchawana zororo pamweya yenyu;
30 for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
nokuti joko rangu rakanakisa, nemutoro wangu wakareruka.
