Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Ikabhwa baada j'ha Yesu kumala kubhaj'helekesya bhanafunzi bha muene kumi na bhabhele abhokhili pala kulota kumanyisya ni kuhubiri mu miji ghiabhu,
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
ni Yohana bho aj'he kuligereza bho ap'heliki aj'hele panani pa matendo gha Kristu, alaghisye bhujumbe kup'etela bhanafunzi bha muene,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
na bhakankota, “Bhebhe ndo j'hola j'ha ihida, au aj'hele j'hongi twilondeka kundendela?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Yesu ajibili nikujobha kwa bhene “'Mulotayi mukan'jobhilayi Yohana ghala gha mukaghabhona ni kughap'heleka.
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.
Bhanu bhabhilolalepi bhibeta kulola, viwete bhibeta kutakasibhwa, bhana bhabhipeleke lepi bhib'eta kup'eleka kabhele, bhana bhabhafuili bhibetakufufulibhwa kukabha bhuhai, na bhanu bhabhilonda bhihubiriwa habari jhinofu.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Na abarikibhu jhola jhaibhonalepi shaka juu jha nene.
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pindi bhanu abha bhobhabhokili, Yesu akaj'handa kujobha ni bhumati kuhusu Yohana, “Kiki mwalotili kulola kulijangwa lidete lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Lakini kiki mwalotili kubhona munu j'haafuele mavazi mololo? Hakika, bhala bhabhifuala mavazi mololo bhitama mu nyumba sya bhafalme.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Lakini mwabhokhili kulola kiki-Nabii? Ena, nikabhajobhela, na zaidi j'ha Nabii.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Oj'ho ndo aj'handikibhu, 'Langai, nikandaghisya mjumbe ghwangu mbele j'ha uso bhuakhu, ambaj'he ibetakuandala nj'hela j'ha bhebhe mbele j'ha bhebhe.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Nene nikabhajobhela bhukweli, kati j'ha bhabhahogoliki ni bhadala aj'helepi j'haaj'he m'mbaha kuliko Yohana Mbatizaji. Lakini aj'hele n'debe mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ndo mmbaha kuliko muene.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Kuhoma magono gha Yohana Mbatizaji mpaka henu, bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni bhwa ngofu, na bhanu bhenye ngofu, bhikautola kwa ngofu.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Kwa kuj'ja manabii ni sheria, imekuwa bhakitabiri mpaka kwa Yohana.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Na kama muj'hela tayari kuj'hetekela, oj'ho ndo Eliya, j'hoola j'haihida.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
J'haaj'hele ni mbolokhoto sya kup'heleka na ap'helekai.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Nikil'eng'enesiayi ni kiki kizazi e'khe? ni mfwanu ghwa bhana bhabhikhina maeneo gha pa soko, babhitama ni kukutana
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
ni kujobha, 'Twabhakhobhili zamori na mwakinilepi. Twaombolizi, na mwal'elililepi.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Kwa kuj'ha Yohana ahidili bila kulya nkate au kunywa mvinyo, na bhakaj'ha bhijobha, 'Aj'he ni pepo.'
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Mwana ghwa Adamu ahidili akaj'ha ilya ni kunywa na bhajobhili 'Langai, munu mlyaji ni n'defi, nkamu ghwa bhatoza ushuru na bhenye dhambi!' Lakini heshima j'hidhihirishibhwa kwa matendo ghakhe.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Yesu aj'handili kuj'hikhemela miji ambamo baadhi j'ha matendo ghakhe gha ajabu ghabhombiki, kwa ndabha bhabeli kutubu,
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! 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.
Ole bhwakhu, Kolazini, Ole bhwakhu Bethsaida! Kama matendo mabhaha ngaghabhombiki Tiro ni Sidoni ghala ghaghabhombiki apa, ngabhaj'hele bhamali kutubu muandi kwa kufuala magunila ni kubakala malyenge.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Lakini j'hibetakuj'ha bhuvumilivu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni ligono lya hukumu kuliko kwa bhene.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Bhebhe, Kapernaum, ghwidhanila ghwibetakuj'hinulibhwa hadi kumbinguni? Lepi ghwibeta kuselesibhwa hadi pasi kuzimu. Kama kwa Sodoma ni kubhombibhwa matendo mabhaha, kama kyaghabhombiki kwa bhebhe, ngaj'hij'hele hadi lelu. (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.”
Bali nijobha kwa bhebhe kuj'ha j'hibetakuj'ha rahisi kwa nchi j'ha Sodoma kuj'hema ligono lya hukumu kuliko bhebhe.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Katika muda obho Yesu ajobhili, “Nikusifu bhebhe, Tata, Bwana ghwa Mbingu ni Nchi, kwa ndabha ghwabhafighili mambo agha bhenye hekima ni bhufalme, ni kiughafunula kwa bhasio ni elimu, kama bhana bhadebe.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Tata kwa kuj'ha j'hakupendisi naha pamihu pa bhebhe.
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.
Mambo agha ghakabidhibhu kwa nene kuhoma kwa Tata. Na aj'helepi j'ha ammanyili mwana isipokuj'ha Tata, na aj'helepi j'haammanyili Mwana, na j'hej'hioha j'hola ambaj'he Mwana aj'he ni hamu j'ha kumfunulila.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Muhidai kwa nene, muenga mwebhobha mwamisumbulibhwa ni kuelemebhwa ni misighu misitu, nani nibetakukup'omosesya.
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.
Mwikipelai nira j'hangu ni mwikifundisiaghe kuhoma kwa nene, kwa kuj'ha nene ne nyenyekevu na mololo ghwa muoyo na mwikabha kuj'homosekelu ka nafsi syenu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Kwa kuj'ha nira j'hangu j'hilaini ni misighu ghiangu mipepe.
