Mateu 11
1 I, nako hayisika mu kumana Jesu a va layi Valutwana vakwe vene nkumi ni vovele, cha yenda kuzwaho ni kutanga kuluta ni ku kutaza mu mileneñi yabo.
And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities.
2 Linu Joani na nga zuwa mwi ntolongo inkenzo za Kereste, cha tumina iñusa ni valutwana vakwe
And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,
3 mi chi va wamba kwali, “Kana njiwe yo Keza, kapa kwina zumwi muntu utu swanela kulola?”
Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?
4 Jesu ave tabi mi cha wamba kuvali, “Mu yende mi mukavihe kwa Joani zi mwa vona ni kuzuwa.
And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.
5 Zivofu va tambula kuvona, zihole zi yenda, ve mbingwa ba jolola, va sa zuwi va zuwe, va fwile va vukile vuhalo, mi vantu va saka ku zuwa linzwi va kutazwe.
The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
6 Imbuyoti yi ve kwa vo, vasa nya nsilizi linzwi.”
And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.
7 A va vakwame ha va yenda nzila yabo, Kereste cha tanga ku wambila chi chaba ka za Joani, “Zile muyendele nzi mwi Halaupa ku kalwela mpe zi hungiswa luhuho?
And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
8 Linu zile muyendelezi ku kavona - muntu yo zavele zizwato zi huva? Initi, avo vazwata zizwato zi huvilila vahale muzubo ya simwine.
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses.
9 Chi nzi chi muyendela kuka bona, mupolofita? Ee, ni wamba kwenu, mi hahulu kuhita mupolofita.
But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
10 Nji yena za kwe, zi ñoleletwe, 'Mu vone, ni tumina muhikana wangu havusu vwenu, ye se a lukise inzila yenu, havusu bwenu.'
For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Ni wamba kwenu, che niti, kwa vo, vava pepwa ku vanakazi, kakwina mukando kwa Joani Mukolobezi. Linu munini mu mubuso we Reeza, kwiwulu njo mukando.
Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.
12 Ku zwa muma zuva a Joani Mukolobezi ku sika sunu, mubuso we Reeza uhindwa chamata mi vakwame vakali va u hinda cha kunyanga.
And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Vapolofita vonse ni mulao, vava polofiti konji kusika kwa Joani Mukolobazi.
For all the Prophetes and the Lawe prophecied vnto Iohn.
14 Heba no tavela kutambula, uzu Elia, iye yo swanela kukeza.
And if ye will receiue it, this is that Elias, which was to come.
15 Uzo, wina matwi akuzuwa, mu musiye atekeleze.
He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
16 Kani, vamba nye, ni chinzi kolu lusika? Kuswana sina vahwile, va kwete kuzanina ama wuzikizo a musika, vekele ni vali sumpa,
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes,
17 ni bati, 'twa miliizikize mpeeta kono kana mwa zana. Twa silisa, kono kana mwa donsa zinsozi.'
And say, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced, we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented.
18 Kana Joani kana vezi kuku lya chinkwa, kapa kuñywa i waine, mi ni vata kuti wina, 'Madimona.'
For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a deuill.
19 Mwana'Muntu, abezi ku lya, ni kuñywa, ni vata kuti, 'Mu vwene, mukwame mulyabi, ni vudakwa, mulikana va telisi va mutelo, ni batenda zibi!' Kono vutali vu vwene kete chi vu tendwa.”
The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Beholde a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend vnto Publicanes and sinners: but wisedome is iustified of her children.
20 Kuzwa aho, Jesu cha tanga ku kalimela minzi yonse ya vatendi I makazo mwa teni, kakuti kena vava vaki,
Then began he to vpbraide the cities, wherein most of his great workes were done, because they repented not.
21 “Wina bumayi iwe Koranizini! Wina bumayi iwe Betsaida! Heva zikando ziva tendwa mu minzi ya Tire ni Sidoni ziba tendwa inwe ni ziva voleli kale za kuzwata masaka ni kulivumbeka mufuse.
Woe be to thee, Chorazin: Woe be to thee, Bethsaida: for if ye great workes, which were done in you, had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, they had repented long agone in sackecloth and ashes.
22 Kono kakuve kuhuva kwi koto ye katulo ya Tire ni Sidoni kuhita yenu.
But I say to you, It shalbe easier for Tyrus and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you.
23 I we, Kapenauma, uzeza kuti mo yende kwiwulu? Nanta, mo bozwe mwi Hele. Sina mwa Sodoma muva tendelwe zikando ni kwenu, ni ziba shali bulyo kusikila lya sunu. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art lifted vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: for if the great workes, which haue bin done in thee, had bene done among them of Sodom, they had remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Kono, niti kwenu, ka ku huvahale munkanda ya Sodoma che nako ye nkatulo, kuhita kwenu.”
But I say vnto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of iudgement, then for thee.
25 Che nako iyo Jesu avati, “Ni lumbeka Tayo Ireeza, Simwine wewulu ne nkanda, kakuti aba humbili vatali, ku zuwisisa ni kwi zivahaza kwavo, va sali tutite, sina vahwile,
At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes.
26 Ee, che niti, Tayo, kutendwe intanto yako.
It is so, O Father, because thy good pleasure was such.
27 Zintu zonse zi va tendwa cha Ngu kuzwila kwa Tayo, Mi kakwina nanga umwina wizi mwana konji Tayo, mi kakwina umwina wizi Tayo konji Mwana, mi kuzumwi sina Mwana' yo lakeze kulitondeza kwali.
All things are giuen vnto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Sonne, but ye Father: neither knoweth any man ye Father, but the Sonne, and he to whom ye Sonne will reueile him.
28 Mwize kwa ngu, mwense mu lemenwe ni ku suntika, mi kani mihe mpumulo.
Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you.
29 Muhinde i jokwe lya ngu mulikulike mi mulitute kwangu, kakuti nina chisemo ni nkulo indotu, mi ka muwanine inhuho zenu impumulo.
Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules.
30 Kakuti i jokwe lyangu ihuva mi muziyo wangu muhuva.”
For my yoke is easie, and my burden light.
