Matai 11
1 Pwu yikhava uYesu wa maliele ukhuvavula avankongi va mwene kumi na mbili akhahege pala akhaluta khumanyisya nukhulumbielila khukhilunga ikya vene,
And when Jesus had made an end of giving orders to his twelve disciples, He departed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 uYohana waliemukheghu ngwa avile apuliekhe imbombo incha Klisiti, akhasuha ululagielo ukhugeendela khuva nkhongi avamwene,
Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ,
3 vakhambuncha, “Uve ndaveve vunkwincha, apange nkhwale uyuunge uvyakhiva inkwinhanga?”
he sent two of his disciples to ask Him, Art thou He who was to come, or are we to expect another?
4 UYesu akhavamu akhata, “Mulutage mukhambule u Yohana nchila inchuomupulikhe na nchila ienchumunkhu nchivona.
And Jesus said to them in answer, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:
5 Avanu avasavilola vilolaga, avifugafuga vigeendanga, avankhoma vivalanchiwaga, avanchivile viepuliekhaga, avafwile vinchukhaga ukhuva vumi, avagaanchu vilambeeliewagwa eilimenyu eilinonu.
the blind are restored to sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised to life, and the poor have the gospel preached to them:
6 Asayiewe uvie umwene unchila luuviepo nune.
and happy is the man who shall not be offended at any thing in me.
7 Avanu ava vuvahegiele, u Yesu akhatengula wakhunchova na vanu inongwa incha Yohana, “'Akhavavancha upwumukha lutile khulukhungu mukhakhiwe khinu khikhi, ieligugu lieliekhusukhaniekha nie mepo?
And as they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken by the wind?
8 Inave saewo mukhahumile mukhalutiele nkwilola khikhi? Umunu uvyafwalile imienda iminonu avietama munyumba iya nkhuludeva.
But what went ye out to see? a man clad in fine attire? they that wear rich clothes are in the palaces of kings.
9 Humbe munkhahegiele ukhuluta kwilola inkhikhi? Apange khukhombona unyamalago.
But what did ye indeed go out to see? a prophet? Yes, verily, and one superior to a prophet.
10 Uyou ule imbombo nchamwe chandiekhiwe, 'Mulolage, nikhunsuha umunu vango, nikhusuha khulyumwe uvakhiva ikweta injila pamiho ghakho.
For this is he, of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."
11 Mwidikgage, nikhuvavula ielweli asikhuli umunu uvaholiwe khudaala uvyahwanine nuu Yohana uvikhwoncha. Humbe vie iedebe mu mumbu ntwa uwa khukyanya, vie mbaha ukhulutielila khwa Yohana uvikhwoncha.
For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he:
12 Ukhuma mumanchuva aga Yohana umwonchi ukhufikha leino, uludeva ulwa khukyanya lwa makha, avanu avanyamakha vuvitola namakha.
and from the days of John the baptist to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness.
13 Ulwa khuva avanyamalago voni avandagielo avanchovaga ukhudugha wunsiekhi ugwa Yohana.
For all the prophets, and the law, did no more than prophesy, till John came:
14 Inave mukwiedihana, ukhuta vyuula uEliya, uvie avanyamalago avalikhuta ula viikyiencha.
and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.
15 Uviali ni mbulukhutu inchakhupulika apuliekhage.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Uvuholiwa uvu nivuhwananinche nie khikhi? vuliendavana avikhina vikhwilangana vikyega nduviengilo,
But to what shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the market-places,
17 vita, tuvatovile iekhiwiewie khunema, twaiembiile inyimbo incha khililo samuliekhuliela.'
and calling to their companions, and saying "We have sung and ye have not danced; we have mourned, and ye have not lamented:"
18 Ulwa khuva uYohana ainchile saliekhulya nu ukhunywa pwu valie khuta, 'Alieni mepo imbivi.'
for John came neither eating nor drinking as others do, and they say, He is beside himself:
19 Umwana va Adamu ainchile aliekhulya nukhunywa valiekhuta ielya ano khange ingaanchi, umanyani va vasangunchi avalie nimbivi!' Ulwa khuva uluhala lwa mwene luvonekha mu mbombo inchamwene.”
the Son of man came eating and drinking like other men, and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
20 U Yesu pwakhatengu ukhuvaduka mwoni muvunchenge umwuo imbombo ncha mwene inchuavombile nchavonikhe, ulwa khuva savapele,
Then began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; because they did not repent.
21 uliviekhi, Kolazini, uliviekhi Betisaida! Ukhuta imbombo imbaha nchale nchivombe khu Tilo na khu Sidoni inchivombike apa vuvakhasayiwe khatale vakhale vifwala amaguniela nukhubakha ilyeela.
Wo unto thee, Chorazin; wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles wrought among you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes:
22 Hange ukwieyumilincha khu Tilo na khu Sidoni ilie nchuva ilyavuhiegi ukhulutilila khuvene.
therefore I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgement, than for you.
23 Uve, Kapernaumu, wieta uyuvukhwie miekhiwa impaka khukyanya? Bakho vukhwikhaga pasi khuvufwe. Khu Sodoma khukhale khuvombekhage imbombo imbaha, nduvunchivombike khulyuve, ukhale wiva khwule ufikha ilelo. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted even to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ulwa khuva akhanchovile khulyuve ukhuta, yivahuoba ikhilunga ikya khu Sodoma ukhunchukha ilinchuva ilya vuhiegi ukhulekha uve.
Moreover I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee.
25 Unsiekhi ugwa uYesu anchovile ankhata, “Ninkhugienia Dada, Vinkhuledeva va khukyanya na Nkhilunga, ulwa khuva ukhavafihiele imbombo inchi avanyaluhala nuvumanyi, nu khuvavonekhela avasaviembiele, uvadiendulile avana avadebe.
And upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:
26 Ena Dada ukhuva inchi nchu nchinogile pamiho ghakho.
even so, Father, for it was thy good pleasure that so it should be."
27 Ifiinu fyoni amile Udada. Hange asikhuli yuywa amanyile unswambe amanyile ywu Dada, hange asikhuli uvamanyile Udada amanyile yu mwana, nu vieumwana anganile vieikhumbonesya Udada khumwene.
All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal Him.
28 Mwinchage khulyune mwievoni yumwe muhangayiekha, yuumwe mwitwiekhile ieminchiigo eiminchitu, une ninkhuva ghata lusya.
Come unto me therefore all ye who are labouring and oppressed, and I will give you ease.
29 Mwiyumilinchage khulyune mumanyilage khulyune, ulwa khuva une niliemwidihinchi hange nieliindenkhedekhe va numbula pwu mukhaga ulugataluko ulwa munumbula nchienyo.
Take but my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart, ) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:
30 Ulwa khuva undeghehe gwango iendekhedekhe nu nchiigo ngwango impepe.
for my yoke is easy, and my burthen is light.
