Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he passed on from thence, to be teaching and proclaiming in their cities.
Yesu bu kamanisa vana zithumunu ziozi kuidi kumi minlonguki miandi miodi, wuyenda longi ayi samuna mu mavula mawu.
2 Now, John, hearing in the prison the works of the Christ, sending through his disciples,
Yowani Mbotiki mu thangu kaba mu nloko, wuwa tsangu yi mavanga momo Klisto kaba vanganga, buna wufidisa minlonguki miandi muingi banyuvula:
3 said unto him, Art, thou, the coming one? or, a different one, are we to expect?
—Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tuvingila wunkaka e?
4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Go report unto John what ye do hear and see: —
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Luvutuka kuidi Yowani ayi lunkamba mambu momo lulembo wa ayi lulembo moni:
5 The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, —and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;
batu bafua meso balembo moni; makoka malembo diati; batu babuazi balembo vedusu; batu bafua matu balembo wi ayi bafua balembo fuluka ayi Nsamu Wumboti wulembo longu kuidi batu basukama.
6 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find cause of stumbling, in me.
Khini kuidi mutu wela kambu zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
7 But, as these were going their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John, —What went ye forth into the wilderness to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
Mu thangu minlonguki mivutuka, Yesu wubaka diluaku di yolukila mambu ma Yowani Mbotiki kuidi nkangu wu batu: —Mbi biobi luyenda tala ku dikanga e? Nti wufioti wulembo vevomono kuidi phemo e?
8 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft clothing, arrayed? Lo! they who soft clothing do wear, are in the houses of kings.
Vayi buna nani luyenda tala e? Mutu wuvuata minledi mi kitoko e? Nana. Bila batu bobo bamvuatanga minledi mi kitoko mu zinzo zi mintinu bankalanga.
9 But why went ye forth? A prophet, to see? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala? Mbikudi luyenda tala e? Nyinga, buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.
10 This, is he, concerning whom it is written, —Lo! I, send my messenger before thy face, who shall make ready thy way before thee!
Bila niandi mutu wowo minkanda milembo tubila ti: tala, mfidisidi mvualꞌama ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kukubikila nzila!
11 Verily, I say unto you—There hath not arisen, among such as are born of women, a greater than John the Immerser, —yet, he that is less in the kingdom of the heavens, is, greater than he.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuisi ko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani Mbotiki. Vayi mutu wowo wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu, wunlutidi.
12 But, from the days of John the Immerser, until even now, the kingdom of the heavens, is being invaded, and, invaders, are, seizing upon it.
Tona mu bilumbu bi Yowani Mbotiki nate buabu Kipfumu ki Diyilu kilembo bakulu mu kingolo ayi batu ba ngolo bawu kaka banzionanga kiawu.
13 For, all the prophets and the law, until John, did prophesy;
Bila Mina ayi mimbikudi mioso mibikula nate mu thangu Yowani.
14 And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah—the one destined to come.
Enati lutidi ku diwilukila buna luzaba ti niandi Eli mutu wowo wufueti kuiza.
15 He that hath ears, let him hear!
Woso widi matu ma wilu buna bika kawa.
16 But, unto what, shall I liken this generation? It is, like, unto children, sitting the market-places, who, calling unto the others,
—Banga mbi ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga bana bafioti bavuendi va zandu ayi balembo tedi bakundi bawu:
17 say, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not, —we sang a lament, and ye beat not the breast.
Beto tulusikidi nsioni lusia kina ko; tuyimbila minkunga mi mafua vayi lusia nionga ko.
18 For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say—A demon, he hath!
Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasa nua ko ayi kasa dia ko vayi bakamba: “pheve yimbimbi yidi yandi!”
19 The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker! a friend of, tax-collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
Vayi Muana Mutu, wuyiza, wundia ayi wunua ayi bakamba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolo mbungu, nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wu bankua masumu.” Vayi nduenga yimonikanga bumboti mu mavanga mandi.
20 Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not: —
Bosi wutubidila ngolo mavula momo mu kavangila bikumu biandi biwombo, bila batu bobo basia balula mavanga mawu ko.
21 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented.
—Mabienga kuidi ngeyo Kolazini ayi ngeyo Betezayida bila enati ndivanga mu mavula ma Tile ayi Sidoni bikumu biobi ndivanga va beno, nganu thama batu ba mavula beni bavuata zitsaku ayi bakivinda dibombi mu monisa ti babaludi mintima.
22 Moreover, I say unto you, For Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the day of judgment, than for you.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, Tile ayi Sidoni bela baka thumbudulu yifioti vayi yeno yela luta ngolo!
23 And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Bosi ngeyo Kafalinawumi, wumuena ti ngeyo wela tombulu ku yilu e? Nana! Wela kululu nate ku tsi bafua! Bila enati ndivanga mu Sodomo bikumu banga biobi ndivanga kuidi ngeyo, nganu divula beni dilembo zingi nate buabu. (Hadēs g86)
24 Moreover, I say unto you—For the land of Sodom, more tolerable, will it be in a day of judgment, than, for thee.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, thumbudulu yi Sodomo yela ba yideduka, yaku yela viatuka ngolo!
25 In that season, answered Jesus, and said—I openly give praise unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, —in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes;
Mu thangu yina, Yesu wukamba: —A Tata, Pfumu yi Diyilu ayi yi ntoto, ndikukembisa bu wusueka mambu mama kuidi batu badi nzayilu ayi kuidi batu badi diela vayi wumonisa mawu kuidi bana bafioti.
26 Yea, O Father! That, so, it hath become, a delight, before thee.
Nyinga Tata, buawu bobo bubela luzolo luaku.
27 All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.
Dise diama niandi wuphana bima bioso. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Muana vayi Tata kaka wunzebi. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Tata vayi Muana wunzebi ayi mutu wowo Muana kazodidi kummonikisa niandi.
28 Come unto me! all ye that toil and are burdened, and, I, will give you rest:
Yizanu kuidi minu beno boso bobo luvongidi ayi luneti mimfuna, minu mandi luvundisa.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, —because, meek, am I and lowly, in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls;
Bika lubonga vangu kiama, lulonguka kuidi minu bila minu ndidi mutu wu ntima wulembami ayi wukuluka ayi ma lubaka luvundulu mu miela mieno.
30 For, my yoke, is easy, and, my burden, light.
Bukiedika vangu kiama kisi phasi mu nata ko ayi mfunꞌama wisi zitu ko.
