Mathayo 11
1 Baada ya Yesu yomwa kwaeleza anapunzi bake komi ni ibele atibuka pae yopundisha ni hubiri munuji yabe.
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 Ni Yohana atabilwe payowine mwapangage Kristo, atumite banapunzi bake,
Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ,
3 Bakannokiya, “Wenga nga ywaapala icha, au kwi ni ywenge ywatunnenda?”
he sent two of his disciples to ask Him, Art thou He who was to come, or are we to expect another?
4 Yesu kaayagwa ni kukoya, “Muyende kum'bakiya Yohana gamgabona ni galo gamugayowa.
And Jesus said to them in answer, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:
5 Ipofu bandalola, iwete banda yenda, akoma banda pona, babakotokage yowa benda yowa kae, bandu babawile benda yoka kae, ni anyonge bahubiyilwe likowe linanoga.
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 Ni abarikiwa ywa kotoka kuniboniya masaka.
and happy is the man who shall not be offended at any thing in me.
7 Ni bandu pababoi, Yesu ngatumbwa longela ni bandu kuhusu Yohana, “Kinamani chamwaiyei kukilinga kupongote mbonga ya yalendemiye linyei?
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 Lakini kinamani mwauei kukibona mundu ywaweti mangobo laini? Kwakweli, balo babawala ngobo laini batama munyumba, ni zaidi ya nabii.
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 Lakini mwatiboka lolekeya namani nabii? nga nyo nendakuwamakiya, na zaidi ya nabii.
But what did ye indeed go out to see? a prophet? Yes, verily, and one superior to a prophet.
10 Ayoo nga yolo ywaandikilwe, linga nitume talisi wango nnonge ya kuminyo yako, ywembe ngalima ndela yake.
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 Nenga niakokiya ukweli, kati ya bababelekwi ni nwawa btopo ywabile nkoto kuliko Yohana Mbatizaji. Lakini ywembe nchini mu utawala wa kumaunde nga nkolo kuliko ywembe.
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 Buka masoba ga Yohana mbatizaji mpaka leno utawala wa kumaunde upatikana kwa ngupu ni bandu babile ni ngupu, batola kwa ngupu.
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 Kwa mwanja manabii ni saliya, batitabiri mpaka wakati wa Yohana.
For all the prophets, and the law, did no more than prophesy, till John came:
14 Ni mana itei mpala yeketya, yembe nga Eliya ywa palaisa.
and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.
15 ywa abi ni makutu gayowa na ayowe.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Nikilinganishe ni namani kibeleki cheno? mfano wa bana babang'anda sokoni, babatama na kemelyana.
But to what shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the market-places,
17 Ni kukoya, 'Twakombwi zomarimwainike kwaa, Twatilombola, mwaleikwaa.'
and calling to their companions, and saying "We have sung and ye have not danced; we have mourned, and ye have not lamented:"
18 Maana Yohana atiicha bila lya nkate wala nywaa divai, ni mubayage,'Aii na nchela.'
for John came neither eating nor drinking as others do, and they say, He is beside himself:
19 Mwana wa Adamu atiisa kalya no ywaa na mumaya ni kumila na nepi, mbwiga labe akusanga ushuru na bene sambii, lakini hekima itanganikwa kwa matendo gake.”
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 Yesu atumbwi kuakalipiya miji yayabile miyendo yake michapu, mana babile bado tubu.
Then began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; because they did not repent.
21 Ole wako, Kolazini, Ole wake Bethesaida kati matendo makolo gakapangika Tiro i Sidoni galo gagapangike pano, bapale tubu zamani kwo wala mabuniya na pakala lingu.
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 Lakini kwaloba bana pumulia Tiro na Sidoni masoba gahukumu kuliko kasabe.
therefore I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgement, than for you.
23 Wenga Kapernaum, ukita tondobelwa mpaka kumaunde? Ntopo walowa ulujilwa mpaka pai kuzimu. Kati kwa Sodoma kulwe pangika makowe makolo, kati mwagapangilwe kachabe, ilwepanga mpaka leno. (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 Ila nibaya, kachako yalowa baa rahisi kwa nnema wa Sodoma pumulia lisoba lya hukumu kuliko wenga.
Moreover I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee.
25 Muda woo yesu atibaya, nenda kulumba, mwenga mwa Tate, Ngwana wa kumaunde ni nnema, kwa mwanja waijite makowe gaa bene hekima na akili, na kwayogolya bange lunda, kati bana achunu.
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 Tate kwa kuwa mwapendesilwe nyoo pa minyo yinu.
even so, Father, for it was thy good pleasure that so it should be."
27 Makowe goti galekilwe kachango buka kwa Tate. Nantopo ywantangite mwana ila Tate, na ntopo ywantangite Tate ila mwana na ywoywoti ywampendi mwana kunnagilya.
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 Muiche kwango, mwenga mwa boti mwamuangaika na mwamulemewa na igombo inatopa, ni nenga nipala mpomoli.
Come unto me therefore all ye who are labouring and oppressed, and I will give you ease.
29 Mube ni akili ni mwiyegane buka kachango, mana nibii ni lwongo na nampole wa mwoyo ni mwalowa pata pumulya na nafsi yinu.
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 Kwa mana nila yango ibii laini ni igombo yango nj'oyou.
for my yoke is easy, and my burthen is light.
