Matei 11
1 A Yeshu bhakamaliyeje kwaalajiyanga bhaajiganywa bhabho likumi limo na bhabhili bhala, gubhajabhwilenje penepo, gubhapite jiganya na lunguya mwiilambo yabhonji.
And it happened that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 A Yowana bhabhatisha bhali bhatabhilwe kuligelesha gubhapilikene ga itendi ya a Yeshu Kilishitu. Bhai, a Yowana gubhaatumilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakaabhuyanje.
Now when John heard in prison the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples
3 Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Mmwe ni bhakwiya bhala, eu twaalindile bhana?”
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nnjendangane nkaalugulilanje a Yowana indu inkwipilikananga na inkwibhonanga,
And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 ashinangalole bhanalolanga na ashinangwabha bhanakwendanga na bhakwetenje mangundula bhanalamanga na ashinangapilikane bhanapilikananga na bhawilenje bhanayukanga na bhaalaga bhanalungushiwanga Ngani ja Mmbone.
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 Mbaya mundu jojowe akalebha kwa ligongo lya leka ngulupalila nne.”
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 Bhai, bhantenga bha a Yowana bhala bhalijabhulanga, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaabhalanjilanga makundi ga bhandu ngani ja a Yowana, “Mwashinkwendangana kuanga kulola nndi? Kulola litete lilitikinywa na mbungo?
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 Igala, mwapitengeneje kulola nndi? Mundu awete nngubho ya konja? Bhandu bhaawalanga nngubho ya konja mwaakutamanga nnyumba ya ashimpalume bha shilambo.
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 Ikabheje, mwapiteneje lolanga nndi? Nkulondola jwa a Nnungu? Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga, mumweninji nkulungwa kupunda nkulondola jwa a Nnungu.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 “A Yowana ni bhantenga bhalugwilwe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, ‘Nnole, ngunakuntuma muntenga jwangu annongolele, ashanng'alashiye mpanda gwenu.’
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 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, akanabhe koposhela jwa nnibhondo ali jwankulungwa kwaapunda a Yowana bhabhatisha. Ikabheje, jwene ali jwanshoko Muupalume gwa Kunnungu, ni jwankulungwa kwaapunda bhenebho.
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 Tandubhila mobha ga a Yowana bhabhatisha mpaka nnaino, Upalume gwa Kunnungu gunakomanilwa na bhandunji bhanalinganga kuutola kwa mashili na bhakwetenje mashili bhanakuutolanga.
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 Pabha ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhowe na Shalia, mpaka mobha ga a Yowana, bhashinkulondolanga ga gene mobha gano.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Bhai, monaga shinkundanje, a Yowanabho ni a Eliya bhapinjikwaga bhaishe.
And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Akwete makutujo apilikane.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Bhai, nandanye na nndi alu lubhelekolu? Malinga bhashanda bhatemingenenje kushoko, bhali kwaabhalanjilanga ashaajabhonji bhalinkutinji,
"But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 ‘Twanngombelenje imbeta, ikabheje mwangainanga! Twajimbile nyimbo ya ililo, ikabheje mwangagutanga!’
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
18 Pabha a Yowana bhaishe, bhakaalya wala papila, gubhashitenje, ‘Bhashikola lioka.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 Mwana juka Mundu gwaishe, alilya na papila, gubhashitenje, ‘Mwaalolanje bhaakongolela kulya na kolelwa, ashaambwiga ajabho bhakamula koli na bhakwetenje yambi!’ Nkali nneyo lunda lwa a Nnungu lumanyishe kuti lwammbone kwa itendi yakwe.”
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 Kungai a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaagambanga bhandunji bha mwiilambo mubhatendile ilapo ya igwinji, pabha bhandu bhakwe bhangapinganga kwiipeta.
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 “Ole gwenunji bhandu bha ku Kolashini! Ole gwenunji bhandu bha ku Bhetishaida! Pabha, ilapo itendeshe kungwenunji monaga ikatendeshe ku Tilo na ku Shidoni, bhandu bhabhonji bhakaipetilenje kwa wala maguniya na pakala liu kuti bhaleshilenje yambi.
"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 Ikabheje, ngunakummalanjilanga, lyubha lya ukumu mmanganya nkupinga patanga mboteko ya punda ya bhandunji bha ku Tilo na ku Shidoni.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Na mmanganyanji bhandu bha ku Kapalanaumu, bhuli, shinkuywanje mpaka kunnungu? Nkupinga tuluywanga mpaka kundamo ja bhawilenje! Pabha, ilapo itendeshe kungwwenunji monaga ikatendeshe kubhandu bha ku Shodoma, shene shilambosho shikaapali mpaka lelo. (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 Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, lyubha lya ukumu mmanganyanji nkupinga patanga mboteko ya punda ya bhandu ku Shodoma.”
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
25 Gene malangago a Yeshu gubhashite, “Ngunatenda eja kwenu mmwe Atati, Mmakulungwa bha kunnungu na pa shilambolyo, pabha yene indui nshikwaiyanga bhakwetenje lunda na bhaashomanga, nikwaunukulilanga bhana bhashoko bhashoko.
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 Elo Atati, pabha shiishite kunnonyela mmayene.”
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandunji, “Atati bhashingamuya indu yowe. Jwakwapi akummanya mwana ikabhe Atati, wala akwaamanya Atati ikabhe Mwana, na jojowe apingaga Mwana kung'unukulila.
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 “Nnjiyangananje mmowe nkuabhukanga na topelwa na mishigo, nne shinimpumuliyanje.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Nkundanje kulongoywa na nne malinga ng'ombe atabhilwa lingongota, nkupinga mwiijiganyanje kwangu nne. Pabha nne najwakwiitimalika na najwashinunu, numbe mmanganyanji shimpumulilanje.
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 Pabha lingongota lyangu likaatona na nshigo gwangu ukaatopa.”
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
