Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in the cities of Galilee.
Ndipo Yesu atamaliza kulangiza ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri aja, anachoka kumeneko kupita kukaphunzitsa ndi kukalalikira ku mizinda ya ku Galileya.
2 Now when John heard in prison about the works Christ had done, he sent two of his disciples
Yohane ali mʼndende anamva zimene Khristu ankachita, ndipo anatumiza ophunzira ake kukamufunsa Iye.
3 to ask him, “Are yoʋ the one who is to come, or should we wait for another?”
Anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi Inu ndinu uja ankanena kuti mudzabwerayu kapena tidikire wina?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go tell John what you hear and see:
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Bwererani ndi kukamuwuza Yohane zimene mwamva ndi kuona.
5 The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor have good news preached to them.
Osaona akuona, olumala akuyenda, akhate akuchiritsidwa, osamva akumva, akufa akuukitsidwa ndipo Uthenga Wabwino ukulalikidwa kwa osauka.
6 And blessed is anyone who does not take offense at me.”
Odala ndi munthu amene sakhumudwa chifukwa cha Ine.”
7 As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pamene ophunzira a Yohane ankachoka, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula kwa gulu la anthu za Yohane kuti, “Kodi munkapita ku chipululu kuti mukaone chiyani? Kodi bango logwedezeka ndi mphepo?
8 What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who wear soft garments are in the palaces of kings.
Nanga munkapita kukaona chiyani, munthu wovala zokongola? Ayi, wovala zokongola amakhala mʼnyumba za mafumu.
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Nanga munkapita kukaona chiyani? Mneneri kodi? Inde ndikuwuzani kuti munkakaona woposa mneneri.
10 For this is the one of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ.’
Uyu ndi amene malemba akunena za iye kuti, “Ine ndidzatuma mthenga wanga patsogolo panu amene adzakonza njira yanu.
11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist, but whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti pakati pa obadwa ndi mkazi sipanaoneke wina aliyense wamkulu woposa Yohane Mʼbatizi; komatu amene ndi wamngʼono kwambiri mu ufumu wakumwamba ndi wamkulu koposa iye.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent try to take it by force.
Kuyambira masiku a Yohane Mʼbatizi mpaka tsopano, ufumu wakumwamba ndi wolimbirana ndipo anthu amphamvu okha ndi amene akuwulanda.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Pakuti aneneri onse ndi malamulo ananenera kufikira nthawi ya Yohane.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
Ndipo ngati inu mufuna kulandira izi, iyeyu ndi Eliya amene ankanena kuti adzabwera uja.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Iye amene ali ndi makutu amve.
16 “But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to their companions,
“Kodi mʼbado uwu ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani? Uli ngati ana opezeka mʼmisika amene akuyitana anzawo nʼkumati:
17 ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we sang a lament for you, but you did not mourn.’
“‘Tinakuyimbirani zitoliro, koma inu simunavine; ife tinayimba nyimbo zamaliro, koma inu simunalire.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Pakuti Yohane sanabwerere kudya kapena kumwa koma iwo ankanena kuti, ‘Iye anali ndi chiwanda.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her children.”
Mwana wa Munthu anabwera ndi kumadya ndi kumwa koma iwo akuti, ‘Munthu wadyera, woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi bwenzi la ochimwa.’ Koma nzeru imatsimikizika kuti ndi yolondola mwa ntchito zake.”
20 Then Jesus began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:
Pamenepo Yesu anayamba kudzudzula mizinda imene zodabwitsa zake zambiri zinachitikamo, chifukwa chakuti sinatembenuke mtima.
21 “Woe to yoʋ, Chorazin! Woe to yoʋ, 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.
“Tsoka kwa iwe Korazini! Tsoka kwa iwe Betisaida! Ngati zodabwitsa zimene zinachitika mwa iwe zikanachitidwa mu Turo ndi Sidoni, iwo akanalapa kale atavala ziguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
Koma ndikuwuzani inu kuti pa tsiku lachiweruzo mlandu wa Turo ndi Sidoni udzachepako kusiyana ndi wanu.
23 And yoʋ, Capernaum, who have been exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. For if the miracles that were done in yoʋ had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Ndipo iwe Kaperenawo, kodi udzakwezedwa kufika kumwamba? Ayi, udzatsitsidwa mpaka pansi kufika ku Hade. Ngati zodabwitsa zimene zinachitika mwa iwe, zikanachitika mu Sodomu, bwenzi iye alipo kufikira lero. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for yoʋ.”
Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti pa tsiku la chiweruziro mlandu wa Sodomu udzachepako kusiyana ndi wanu.”
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants.
Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu anati, “Ine ndikukuyamikani Inu Atate Ambuye akumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, chifukwa Inu mwawabisira zinthu izi anzeru ndi ophunzira ndi kuziwulula kwa ana angʼonoangʼono.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in yoʋr sight.
Inde, Atate, ichi chinali chokukomerani Inu.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“Zinthu zonse zapatsidwa kwa Ine ndi Atate anga. Palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Mwana kupatula Atate ndipo palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Atate kupatula Mwana ndi kwa iwo amene Mwana awasankha kuwawululira.
28 Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Idzani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa. Ndipo inu mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Pakuti goli langa ndi losavuta ndipo katundu wanga ndi wopepuka.”
