< Matthew 11 >

1 And it happened that when Yeshua had finished instructing his twelve talmidim, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Yesu mpwalapwisha kubapa busele beshikwiya bakendi likumi ne babili, walafumako nekuya kwiyisha, ne kukambauka mu minshi.
2 Now when John heard in prison the works of the Messiah, he sent his talmidim
Mbyalikwinsa Klistu, byalanyumfwika kuli Yohane mubatishi kali mujele, neco walatuma beshikwiya bakendi kulyendiye.
3 and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
Kuya kumwipusheti, “Sena njamwe ngobalikwambeti lakesanga, mpani tupembele naumbi?”
4 And Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Kamuyani mumwambile Yohane, bintu mbyomulanyumfunga, ne kubibona.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Bashipilwa balabononga, nabo balema miyendo balendenga, bashimankuntu balasengulwanga, bashinka matwi balatatiki kunyumfwa, bafwa balapundukunga, nawo Mulumbe Waina ulakambaukwanga kubapenshi.
6 And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
Walelekwa muntu labulunga kutonshanya shanjame.”
7 And as these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pacindi beshikwiya ba Yohane basa mpobalafumako, Yesu walatatika kwamba sha Yohane, ne kwipusha makoto abantu eti, “Mpomwalikuya kucinyika, mwalayakubona cani? Sena lyalikuba litete lyalikutenkana ne lukupwe?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
Mwalayakubona cani? Sena ni muntu wafwala byakufwala bya mulo wadula? Bantu bakute kufwala byakufwala bya mulo wadula bakute kwikala mu manda a bami!
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Kamung'ambilani, mwalayakubona cani? Sena walikuba mushinshimi? Ee, nicakubinga, nomba ndamwambilishingeti, mwalabona wapita mushinshimi.
10 This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Uyu endiye usa Mabala a Lesa ngalikwambeti, “Mutumwa wakame uyu, ndamutumunga pantangu pakobe, kwambeti abambile limo nshila njoti ukeshilemo.”
11 Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Immerser; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Cakubinga ndamwambilingeti, mubantu bonse balasemwa kubatukashi, paliya naba umo munene wapita Yohane Mubatishi, nomba nendi uyo mung'ana mu Bwami bwakwilu wamupita Yohane.
12 And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
Kufuma pacindi ca Yohane mubatishi mpaka lelo, Bwami bakwilu bwakwabililwa mwangofu ne bantu balayandangowa kubulumina banabo.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mu milawo ya Mose, ne bashinshimi balikabamba sha Bwami bopelobu, mpaka kushika kucindi ca Yohane mubatishi.
14 And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Na mulayandanga kushoma, ishibani kwambeti, Yohane endiye Eliya walikwambweti lakesanga,
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Uyo ukute matwi, kanyumfwani!
16 "But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Anu bantu bamusemanowu ngandibelenkanya necani? Balyeti batwanike balatotekeshananga pamusena wa makwebo, bambi kabepusha banabo eti,
17 and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
“Twalamombela ngoma, nomba mwalabulila cani kushana? Twalembila nyimbo sha malila, nomba nicani amwe muliya kulilako sobwe?”
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
“Yohane mubatishi mpwalesa, kalikanisha byakulya, ne byakunwa, mwali kamwambeti, wekatwa ne mushimu waipa!”
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Mwana Muntu nendi walikulya nekunwa, uliyense walatatika kwambeti, “Kamubonani muntuyu nicakolwa, kayi nimukuma, wasunana ne beshimisonko ne bantu babwipishi, nomba Mano akendi alabonekenga mubyakwinsa byakendi.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walatatika kushingana minshi njalenshilamo bintu bingi byangofu, pakwinga bantu mu minshiyo baliya kushinta myoyo yabo sobwe.
21 "Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Beit Tzaidah. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Walambeti, “Malele obe Kolasini! Malele obe Betisaida! Pakwinga bintu byangofu byalenshika kulinjamwe, anu nibyalenshikila ku Tulo ne Sidoni, nshinga bantu bakendi ne balafwala masankunya, ne kulitila milota, kubonesha kushinta myoyo kwabo,
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Nomba ndamwambilingeti, pabusuba bwa lombolosho, nicikabeko capuba kunyumfwilako luse Tulo ne Sidoni, kupita amwe.
23 And you, Kfar-Nahum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheol. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Nenjobe Kapelenawo, sena ulayeyengeti nakakutantike kwilu? Wangwela! Nakakulashe panshi mpaka ku musena wa bantu bafwa, pakwinga bintu bya ngofu byalenshika kulinjobe, ne byalenshikila mu Sodomu, nshinga Sodomu nacilipo nelelo. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
Nomba ndamwambilingeti, pabusuba bwalombolosho nicikabe capubako kunyumfwilako luse bene Sodomu kupita amwe!”
25 At that time, Yeshua answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
Pacindi copeleco Yesu walambeti, “Amwe Ta, mobene kwilu ne cishi capanshi, ndamulumbu pakuyubulula bintu ibi kubatwanike, ne kubisoleka kubantu bamano akucishi,
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Ee, Ta, kwinamoyo kwenu mwalayanda kwinseco.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
“Ta mwalampa bintu byose mumakasa akame, paliya nabaumo wela kumwinshiba cena Mwana, nsombi Baishi bonka ebala kumwinshiba cena, kayi paliya nabaumo wela kwinshiba cena babula kuba Baishi, nsombi Mwana ewinshi cena Baishi, neye ukute kuyubulwila abo mbwalayandanga.
28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Kamwisani kulinjame amwe omwalema cebo ca kunyamuna mitolo, kwambeti mucane kupumwina.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Kamumantani lijoko lyakame, kayi mwiye kulinjame. Pakwinga ndabomba moyo kayi ndalicepesha, kayi nimwise mucane kupumwina.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Lijoko lyakame lyapuba, ne mutolo wakame wapuba.”
