Matayu 11
1 Yesu pakamalaliti kuwalagalira wafundwa lilongu na wawili, kawukiti pahala paliya na kagenditi kufunda na kubwera lushi zya pakwegera palii.
And it happened that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Yohani Mbatiza pakapikaniriti vitwatira vya Kristu vyakatenda, yomberi kawatumiti wafundwa wakuwi kwa Yesu.
Now when John heard in prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3 Womberi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gutugambiri gwenga gwa yumu yakatakulitwi na Yohani, ama tumuheperi gwingi?”
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 Yesu kawankula, “Mgendi mwakamgambiri Yohani vitwatira vyampikinira na kuviwona,
And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 wanalwisi wawona na wavibyeketu wagendagenda, woseri yawalwala ungumbula wapungwa na wanamajogu wapikinira na wahowiti wankuzyukisiwa na Visoweru Viwagira vibwelwa kwa wahushu.
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 Mbaka kwa wantu woseri yawawera ndiri na lyoga na neni!”
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 Wafundwa wa Yohani pawawukiti, Yesu kanjiti kuwagambira lipinga lya wantu, “Hashi, pamgenditi kumlola Yohani kushiwala, mgenditi kulola shishi? Visoweru vya Yohani, mgenditi kulola shishi? Hashi mgenditi kulola lyega lyankutikisiya luhamba?
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 Su, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola muntu yakavaliti nguwu iherepa? Wantu yawavala nguwu ziherepa walikala munumba zya wafalumi!
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 Mung'ambiri, mgenditi kulola shishi? Mgenditi kumlola mbuyi gwa Mlungu? Yina nakaka, kumbiti mwona vitwatira vivuwa kuliku mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 Yohani ndo yumu yawamlembiti Mumalembu mananagala, ‘Mlungu kalonga, hanumtumi mjumbi gwangu hakakulonguleri na kukunyawira njira.’
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 Nukugambirani nakaka handa Yohani Mbatiza ndo mkulu kuliku muntu yoseri yakalikala. Kumbiti muntu yakawera mdidini Muufalumi wa kumpindi ndo mkulu kuliku Yohani.
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 Kwanjira shipindi Yohani Mbatiza pakabweriti ujumbi wakuwi mpaka leru, ufalumi wa kumpindi wantu wankwingira kwa makakala na wantu wana makakala ndo hawawingiri.
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 Mpaka shipindi sha Yohani, wambuyi woseri wa Mlungu na Malagaliru ga Musa galembwa kuusu Ufalumi.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Handa pamuweza kujimira ujumbi wawu, Yohani ndo Eliya mekizi.
And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Yakana makutu su kapikaniri!
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Su, nuwafananiziyi na shishi wantu wa mashaka aga? Walifana gambira wana yawalikala pahala pa soku. Wawera pawaligambiziyana na shipinga shimonga.
"But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 Twawagombirani msambu gwa ndowa, kumbiti mviniti ndiri! Twimba lwimbu lwa kudaya, kumbiti mlira ndiri.
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
18 Yohani pakiziti, koya kuliya na kalanda ndiri divayi na kila muntu kalonga, ‘Yomberi kana shamshera!’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 Mwana gwa Muntu pakiziti, kaliya na kalanditi divayi na kila muntu katakuliti, ‘Mumloli muntu ayu! Kana lwaliya na mlowera na ndo ganja gwa watola kodi na yawawera na vidoda!’ Luhala lwa Mlungu lwankulanguziya kuwera iherepa kulawirana na gakatendaga.”
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 Shakapanu Yesu kanjiti kuzilawumu lushi zakatenditi mauzauza guvuwa, wantu wakuwi wafira ndiri kugalambuka kulawa muvidoda vyawatenda.
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 “Shondi Kolazini! Shondi Betisayida! Handa mauzauza aga yagatendikiti kwaku megatendikiti Tiru na Sidoni, wantu wakuwi mewavali kala malobota na kulipakaziya livu, kulilanguziya kuwera waleka vidoda vyawatenda.
"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 Nukugambirani nakaka kuwera mulishaka lya Mlungu lya kutozwa, hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa lushi lwa Tiru na Sidoni kuliku mwenga.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Nagwenga Kafarinaumu! Hashi, gufira kulikweniziya gamweni kumpindi kwa Mlungu? Hawakusulusiyi mpaka mulirindi lyalihera upeleru! Handa mauzauza yagatendikiti kwa gwenga, megatendeki ku Sodoma, lushi alu meluweri mpaka leru! (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 Nukugambirani kuwera mulishaka lya kutozwa Mlungu hakawawoneri lusungu nentu wantu wa Sodoma kuliku mwenga!”
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
25 Shipindi shilii Yesu katakuliti, “Tati, Mtuwa gwa kumpindi na pasi panu! Mayagashii toziya guwalanguziya wadidika vitwatira vyaguwafifiti yawawera na luhala na yawawera na mahala.
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 Yina Tati, hangu ndo ntambu yagufiriti vilawiri.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 “Tati gwangu kanupa vintu vyoseri. Kwahera yakammana Mwana ira Tati na kwahera yakammana Tati ira Mwana na goseri galii gakafira kumgambira Mwana, su kamgambira.
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 “Mwizi kwaneni woseri mwenga yamtokiti kupapa visanka vizotopa na neni hanuwatendi moyeri.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Mjimili vilii vyanuwapanani mwenga na mulifundi kulawa kwaneni, toziya neni namupoli na mnanagala mu rohu na mwenga hamwoyeri.
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 Toziya shilii shanuwalagaliriti ndo shiherepa kwa mwenga na shanuwapanani mpapi ndo shizotopa ndiri.”
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
