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 it happened that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 ni Yohana bho aj'he kuligereza bho ap'heliki aj'hele panani pa matendo gha Kristu, alaghisye bhujumbe kup'etela bhanafunzi bha muene,
Now when John heard in prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3 na bhakankota, “Bhebhe ndo j'hola j'ha ihida, au aj'hele j'hongi twilondeka kundendela?”
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 Yesu ajibili nikujobha kwa bhene “'Mulotayi mukan'jobhilayi Yohana ghala gha mukaghabhona ni kughap'heleka.
And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which 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.
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.
6 Na abarikibhu jhola jhaibhonalepi shaka juu jha nene.
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 Pindi bhanu abha bhobhabhokili, Yesu akaj'handa kujobha ni bhumati kuhusu Yohana, “Kiki mwalotili kulola kulijangwa lidete lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
And as these went their way, 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 in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 Lakini mwabhokhili kulola kiki-Nabii? Ena, nikabhajobhela, na zaidi j'ha Nabii.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much 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.
This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before 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.
Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven 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.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
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, this 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 should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 ni kujobha, 'Twabhakhobhili zamori na mwakinilepi. Twaombolizi, na mwal'elililepi.'
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
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 Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified 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 denounce 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. 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.
22 Lakini j'hibetakuj'ha bhuvumilivu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni ligono lya hukumu kuliko kwa bhene.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on 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, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, 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.
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on 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 answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
26 Tata kwa kuj'ha j'hakupendisi naha pamihu pa bhebhe.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
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. 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.
28 Muhidai kwa nene, muenga mwebhobha mwamisumbulibhwa ni kuelemebhwa ni misighu misitu, nani nibetakukup'omosesya.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, 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, for I am gentle and humble 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."
