Mateo 11
1 Jesu akati apedza kurayira vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri, akabvapo akandodzidzisa nokuparidza mumaguta omuGarirea.
And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Zvino Johani ari mutorongo, paakanzwa nezvamabasa aJesu, akabva atuma vadzidzi vake
Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 kundobvunza vachiti, “Ko, ndimi iye akanzi achauya here, kana kuti totarisira mumwe?”
he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
4 Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Dzokerai mundoudza Johani zvamuri kunzwa nezvamuri kuona:
And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:
5 Mapofu ava kuona, zvirema zvava kufamba, vana maperembudzi vanoporeswa, matsi dzonzwa, vakafa vari kumutswa, uye kuti nhau dzakanaka dziri kuparidzirwa varombo.
the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news.
6 Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumburwi nokuda kwangu.”
And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.
7 Vadzidzi vaJohani pavakanga voenda, Jesu akatanga kuudza vanhu vazhinji nezvaJohani achiti, “Makaenda kurenje kundoonei? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 Kana zvisizvo, makabuda kundoonei? Maindoona murume akanga akapfeka nguo dzakanaka here? Kwete, avo vanopfeka nguo dzakanaka vari mumizinda yamadzimambo.
But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.
9 Zvino makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri anopfuura muprofita.
But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Iyeyu ndiye akanyorwa nezvake zvichinzi: “Ndinotuma nhume yangu mberi kwako uye achakugadzirira nzira yako mberi kwako.”
For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.
11 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti: Pavanhu vose vakaberekwa navakadzi, hapana mukuru kuna Johani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudukusa muushe hwokudenga mukuru kwaari.
Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Kubva pamazuva aJohani Mubhabhatidzi kusvikira zvino, umambo hwokudenga hwanga huchipfuurira mberi nechisimba, uye varume vechisimba vanohutora.
And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.
13 Nokuti Vaprofita vose neMirayiro vakaprofita kusvikira pana Johani.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Kana muchida kuzvigamuchira, ndiye Eria akanga achizouya.
And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.
15 Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Rudzi urwu ndingaruenzanisa nei? Vakafanana navana vari mumisika vari kudanidzira kuna vamwe vachiti:
But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,
17 “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.
18 Nokuti Johani akanga asingadyi kana kunwa asi vakati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
19 Mwanakomana woMunhu akanga achidya uye achinwa, zvino vanoti, ‘Houno wamakaro nomunwi, shamwari yavateresi na“vatadzi”.’ Asi uchenjeri hunozviratidza kuti hwakarurama namabasa ahwo.”
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
20 Ipapo Jesu akatanga kutuka maguta akanga aitwa zvishamiso zvake zvizhinji, nokuti akanga asina kutendeuka.
Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.
21 “Une nhamo iwe Korazini! Une nhamo iwe Bhetisaidha! Kudai zvishamiso zvakaitwa mauri zvainge zvakaitwa muTire neSidhoni vangadai vakatendeuka kare vakapfeka masaga uye vakazvizora dota.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti Tire neSidhoni zvicharerukirwa pazuva rokutongwa kupfuura imi.
Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
23 Uye iwe Kapenaume, uchasimudzirwa kudenga here? Kwete, asi uchaiswa pakadzikadzika. Dai zvishamiso zvakaitwa mauri zvainge zvakaitwa muSodhomu, ringadai richiripo nanhasi. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Asi ndinokuudza kuti guta reSodhomu richarerukirwa pazuva rokutongwa kupfuura iwe.”
Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Panguva iyoyo Jesu akati, “Ndinokurumbidzai Baba, Ishe wedenga nenyika, nokuti makavanza zvinhu izvi kuna vakachenjera navakadzidza, uye mukazvizarurira kuvana vaduku.
Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.
26 Hongu, Baba nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakakufadzai.
Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.
27 “Zvinhu zvose zvakapiwa kwandiri naBaba vangu. Hakuna anoziva Mwanakomana kunze kwaBaba, uye hakuna anoziva Baba kunze kwoMwanakomana naavo chete Mwanakomana vaanenge asarudza kuti avazarurire.
All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
28 “Uyai kwandiri, imi mose makaneta makaremerwa, uye ndichakupai zororo.
Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Takurai joko rangu, mudzidze kwandiri, nokuti ndiri munyoro uye ndine mwoyo unozvininipisa, uye muchawana zororo remweya yenyu.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls.
30 Nokuti joko rangu hariremi uye mutoro wangu wakareruka.”
For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.
