Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of his charge to his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, to teach and to preach in their cities.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵamalisisye kwalajisya ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili, ŵatyosile kweleko, ŵajawile kwiganya ni kulalichila mmisi jajili ku Galilaya.
2 And John, having heard in the prison of the works of Christ, sent by his disciples,
Nombe che Yohana paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵapilikene ngani ja masengo ga Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
3 and said to him, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
akausye, “Ana mmwe ni ŵele ŵakwika ŵala pane twalolele ŵane?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye hear and see.
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaulanje nkaasalile che Yohana aila inkuipilikana ni kuilola.
5 The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are brought;
Ŵangalola akulola, ni ŵangajenda akwenda, ni ŵamatana akuswejeswa, ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana, ni ŵawe akusyuswa, ni ŵakulaga akusalilwa Ngani Jambone.
6 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Jwana upile jwele mundu jwangakungolela lipamba.”
7 And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Nipele, ŵele ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵaliji nkwenda, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu ngani si che Yohana aninkuti, “Ana mwajawile kukulola chichi kwele kwipululu ko? Uli, mwajawile kukulilola litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?”
8 But why did ye go out? to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawete iwalo yambone? Ŵandu ŵakuwala iwalo yambone akutama mmajumba ga mamwenye.
9 But why did ye go out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Nambo, ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, ngunsalila, jwakumpunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
10 For this is he of whom it is written: “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Jwelejo ni che Yohana, Akunnungu juŵangambaga mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, Nnole, nguntuma jwantenga jwangu mmbujo mwenu, juchakankolochesye litala lyenu.
11 Truly do I say to you, Among those born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. But he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Ngunsalila isyene, mwa ŵandu ŵakutama mu chilambo, nganatyochele mundu jwali jwankulungwa kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatisya. Nambo jwalijose jwakulolechela jwannandi mu Umwenye wa kwinani ali jwankulungwa kumpunda jwelejo.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent seize upon it.
Chitandile katema kaŵalalichilaga che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mpaka lelo, umwenye wa kwinani ukukanikwa, ni ŵandu ŵaali ni machili akulinga kuujigala kwa machili.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law, until John, prophesied.
Majiganyo gose ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Malajisyo gakunguluchile ngani ja umwenye wa Akunnungu mpaka katema ka che Yohana.
14 And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
Iŵaga nkusaka kwitichisya gelega, che Yohana ju ni che Elia juchaiche.
15 He that hath ears, let him hear.
Jwakwete mapilikanilo, apilikane!
16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, who call to their fellows,
“Chinaulandanye ni chichi uŵelesi wu? Ulandene ni achachanda ŵaŵatemi paluŵala lwa kusumichisya malonda, ni kuŵechetesyana ni achinjao,
17 and say, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not lament.
‘Twangombele ngoma nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, He hath a demon.
Pakuŵa Che Yohana ŵaiche, ŵataŵaga ni nganang'waga divai, ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Akamwilwe ni masoka.’
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified by her works.
Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche, achilyaga ni aching'waga ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Munnole aju, jwakutolwa ni jwakolelwa, mmbusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’ Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lwawoneche kuŵa lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yakwe.”
20 Then he began to upbraid the cities wherein most of his miracles were done, because they did not repent.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwakalipila ŵandu ŵa misi jo jiŵatesile yakusimonjeka, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganaleka sambi.
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“Ulaje kukwenu ku Kolasini! Ulaje kukwenu ku Besesaida! Pakuŵa, ayi yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu, ikatendekwe akula ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni kula, ŵandu ŵakwe akawasile magunia ni kutama mu itutu kulosya kuti alesile sambi syao.
22 But I say to you, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula, ŵanyamwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
23 And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? Thou shalt be brought down to the underworld; for if the miracles which were done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Nomwe Kapelenaumu ana chinlikusye mpaka kwinani? Chinchituluswa mpaka kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. Pakuŵa, yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu ikatendekwe ku Sodoma, wele musi wo ukaliji chiŵela mpaka lelo. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula mmwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma.”
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes.
Katema kakoko, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nguntogolela Atati, Ambuje ŵa kwinani ni chilambo, pakuŵa mwasisile indu yi ŵandu ŵa lunda ni ŵandu ŵa umanyilisi ni kwaunukulila ŵanache.
26 Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Elo, Atati, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakunnonyela.
27 All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth the Son but the Father; nor doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.
“Atati ŵangu ambele indu yose. Ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Mwana, akaŵe Atati, ni sooni ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Atati, akaŵe Mwana ni jwalijose jwakunsaka Mwana kuti ammunukulile.
28 Come to me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Njisanje kukwangu ŵanyamwe wose unkusauka ni kutopelwa ni misigo jakutopa, none chinampumusye.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest for your souls.
Mungunde, nkalijiganye kukwangu, pakuŵa une ndili jwakutulala ni jwakulitulusya, nomwe chinkapumule mmitima jenu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Pakuŵa chingunsalila mpanganye chili chambone kukwenu ni chingumpa njigale ngachikutopa.”
