Matayo 11
1 Ikabhwa baada j'ha Yesu kumala kubhaj'helekesya bhanafunzi bha muene kumi na bhabhele abhokhili pala kulota kumanyisya ni kuhubiri mu miji ghiabhu,
And so it was, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, that He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.
2 ni Yohana bho aj'he kuligereza bho ap'heliki aj'hele panani pa matendo gha Kristu, alaghisye bhujumbe kup'etela bhanafunzi bha muene,
But John, hearing in prison about the works of the Messiah, sent two of his disciples
3 na bhakankota, “Bhebhe ndo j'hola j'ha ihida, au aj'hele j'hongi twilondeka kundendela?”
to say to Him, “Are you the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Yesu ajibili nikujobha kwa bhene “'Mulotayi mukan'jobhilayi Yohana ghala gha mukaghabhona ni kughap'heleka.
By way of answer Jesus said to them: “Go and report to John the things that you hear and see:
5 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.
blind regain sight and lame walk, lepers are cleansed and deaf hear, dead are raised and the poor are evangelized.
6 Na abarikibhu jhola jhaibhonalepi shaka juu jha nene.
And, blessed be whoever is not offended at Me!”
7 Pindi bhanu abha bhobhabhokili, Yesu akaj'handa kujobha ni bhumati kuhusu Yohana, “Kiki mwalotili kulola kulijangwa lidete lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
So as they departed Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see, a reed shaken by the wind?
8 Lakini kiki mwalotili kubhona munu j'haafuele mavazi mololo? Hakika, bhala bhabhifuala mavazi mololo bhitama mu nyumba sya bhafalme.
But what did you go out to see, a man clothed in soft garments? Actually, those who wear soft material are in kings' houses.
9 Lakini mwabhokhili kulola kiki-Nabii? Ena, nikabhajobhela, na zaidi j'ha Nabii.
But really, what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
10 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.
For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way ahead of you.’
11 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.
Assuredly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer; but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Kuhoma magono gha Yohana Mbatizaji mpaka henu, bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni bhwa ngofu, na bhanu bhenye ngofu, bhikautola kwa ngofu.
But from the days of John the Baptizer until now the kingdom of the heavens is being aggressive and aggressive people are seizing upon it.
13 Kwa kuj'ja manabii ni sheria, imekuwa bhakitabiri mpaka kwa Yohana.
For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
14 Na kama muj'hela tayari kuj'hetekela, oj'ho ndo Eliya, j'hoola j'haihida.
and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.
15 J'haaj'hele ni mbolokhoto sya kup'heleka na ap'helekai.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
16 Nikil'eng'enesiayi ni kiki kizazi e'khe? ni mfwanu ghwa bhana bhabhikhina maeneo gha pa soko, babhitama ni kukutana
“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in a marketplace and calling to their friends
17 ni kujobha, 'Twabhakhobhili zamori na mwakinilepi. Twaombolizi, na mwal'elililepi.'
and saying, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we mourned for you and you did not lament.’
18 Kwa kuj'ha Yohana ahidili bila kulya nkate au kunywa mvinyo, na bhakaj'ha bhijobha, 'Aj'he ni pepo.'
For John came neither eating nor drinking and they say, ‘He has a demon’;
19 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.”
the Son of the Man came eating and drinking and they say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Indeed, wisdom is vindicated by her children.”
20 Yesu aj'handili kuj'hikhemela miji ambamo baadhi j'ha matendo ghakhe gha ajabu ghabhombiki, kwa ndabha bhabeli kutubu,
Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 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.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Lakini j'hibetakuj'ha bhuvumilivu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni ligono lya hukumu kuliko kwa bhene.
So I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of judgment than for you!
23 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)
And you, Capernaum, ‘the one having been exalted to heaven’, you will be brought down to Hades! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Bali nijobha kwa bhebhe kuj'ha j'hibetakuj'ha rahisi kwa nchi j'ha Sodoma kuj'hema ligono lya hukumu kuliko bhebhe.
So I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of judgment than for you.”
25 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.
At that time Jesus reacted and said: “‘I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to ‘babes’.
26 Tata kwa kuj'ha j'hakupendisi naha pamihu pa bhebhe.
Yes, Father, because thus it was good to You.’
27 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.
“All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one really knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone really know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son may will to reveal Him.
28 Muhidai kwa nene, muenga mwebhobha mwamisumbulibhwa ni kuelemebhwa ni misighu misitu, nani nibetakukup'omosesya.
Come to me all you who are laboring and are loaded down, and I will give you rest.
29 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.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls;
30 Kwa kuj'ha nira j'hangu j'hilaini ni misighu ghiangu mipepe.
for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
