Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Yesu pakamalaliti kuwalagalira wafundwa lilongu na wawili, kawukiti pahala paliya na kagenditi kufunda na kubwera lushi zya pakwegera palii.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Yohani Mbatiza pakapikaniriti vitwatira vya Kristu vyakatenda, yomberi kawatumiti wafundwa wakuwi kwa Yesu.
3 said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
Womberi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gutugambiri gwenga gwa yumu yakatakulitwi na Yohani, ama tumuheperi gwingi?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri Yohani vitwatira vyampikinira na kuviwona,
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
wanalwisi wawona na wavibyeketu wagendagenda, woseri yawalwala ungumbula wapungwa na wanamajogu wapikinira na wahowiti wankuzyukisiwa na Visoweru Viwagira vibwelwa kwa wahushu.
6 and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
Mbaka kwa wantu woseri yawawera ndiri na lyoga na neni!”
7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?
Wafundwa wa Yohani pawawukiti, Yesu kanjiti kuwagambira lipinga lya wantu, “Hashi, pamgenditi kumlola Yohani kushiwala, mgenditi kulola shishi? Visoweru vya Yohani, mgenditi kulola shishi? Hashi mgenditi kulola lyega lyankutikisiya luhamba?
8 'But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
Su, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola muntu yakavaliti nguwu iherepa? Wantu yawavala nguwu ziherepa walikala munumba zya wafalumi!
9 'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
Mung'ambiri, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola mbuyi gwa Mlungu? Yina nakaka, kumbiti mwona vitwatira vivuwa kuliku mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
10 for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Yohani ndo yumu yawamlembiti Mumalembu mananagala, ‘Mlungu kalonga, hanumtumi mjumbi gwangu hakakulonguleri na kukunyawira njira.’
11 Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
Nukugambirani nakaka handa Yohani Mbatiza ndo mkulu kuliku muntu yoseri yakalikala. Kumbiti muntu yakawera mdidini Muufalumi wa kumpindi ndo mkulu kuliku Yohani.
12 'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
Kwanjira shipindi Yohani Mbatiza pakabweriti ujumbi wakuwi mpaka leru, ufalumi wa kumpindi wantu wankwingira kwa makakala na wantu wana makakala ndo hawawingiri.
13 for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,
Mpaka shipindi sha Yohani, wambuyi woseri wa Mlungu na Malagaliru ga Musa galembwa kuusu Ufalumi.
14 and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
Handa pamuweza kujimira ujumbi wawu, Yohani ndo Eliya mekizi.
15 he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.
Yakana makutu su kapikaniri!
16 'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
“Su, nuwafananiziyi na shishi wantu wa mashaka aga? Walifana gambira wana yawalikala pahala pa soku. Wawera pawaligambiziyana na shipinga shimonga.
17 and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
Twawagombirani msambu gwa ndowa, kumbiti mviniti ndiri! Twimba lwimbu lwa kudaya, kumbiti mlira ndiri.
18 'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;
Yohani pakiziti, koya kuliya na kalanda ndiri divayi na kila muntu kalonga, ‘Yomberi kana shamshera!’
19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
Mwana gwa Muntu pakiziti, kaliya na kalanditi divayi na kila muntu katakuliti, ‘Mumloli muntu ayu! Kana lwaliya na mlowera na ndo ganja gwa watola kodi na yawawera na vidoda!’ Luhala lwa Mlungu lwankulanguziya kuwera iherepa kulawirana na gakatendaga.”
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.
Shakapanu Yesu kanjiti kuzilawumu lushi zakatenditi mauzauza guvuwa, wantu wakuwi wafira ndiri kugalambuka kulawa muvidoda vyawatenda.
21 'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;
“Shondi Kolazini! Shondi Betisayida! Handa mauzauza aga yagatendikiti kwaku megatendikiti Tiru na Sidoni, wantu wakuwi mewavali kala malobota na kulipakaziya livu, kulilanguziya kuwera waleka vidoda vyawatenda.
22 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.
Nukugambirani nakaka kuwera mulishaka lya Mlungu lya kutozwa, hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa lushi lwa Tiru na Sidoni kuliku mwenga.
23 'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day; (Hadēs g86)
Nagwenga Kafarinaumu! Hashi, gufira kulikweniziya gamweni kumpindi kwa Mlungu? Hawakusulusiyi mpaka mulirindi lyalihera upeleru! Handa mauzauza yagatendikiti kwa gwenga, megatendeki ku Sodoma, lushi alu meluweri mpaka leru! (Hadēs g86)
24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.'
Nukugambirani kuwera mulishaka lya kutozwa Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa Sodoma kuliku mwenga!”
25 At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.
Shipindi shilii Yesu katakuliti, “Tati, Mtuwa gwa kumpindi na pasi panu! Mayagashii toziya guwalanguziya wadidika vitwatira vyaguwafifiti yawawera na luhala na yawawera na mahala.
26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.
Yina Tati, hangu ndo ntambu yagufiriti vilawiri.
27 'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].
“Tati gwangu kanupa vintu vyoseri. Kwahera yakammana Mwana ira Tati na kwahera yakammana Tati ira Mwana na goseri galii gakafira kumgambira Mwana, su kamgambira.
28 'Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,
“Mwizi kwaneni woseri mwenga yamtokiti kupapa visanka vizotopa na neni hanuwatendi moyeri.
29 take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,
Mjimili vilii vyanuwapanani mwenga na mulifundi kulawa kwaneni, toziya neni namupoli na mnanagala mu rohu na mwenga hamwoyeri.
30 for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.'
Toziya shilii shanuwalagaliriti ndo shiherepa kwa mwenga na shanuwapanani mpapi ndo shizotopa ndiri.”
