Mateo 11
1 Jesu akati apedza kurayira vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri, akabvapo akandodzidzisa nokuparidza mumaguta omuGarirea.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Zvino Johani ari mutorongo, paakanzwa nezvamabasa aJesu, akabva atuma vadzidzi vake
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 kundobvunza vachiti, “Ko, ndimi iye akanzi achauya here, kana kuti totarisira mumwe?”
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Dzokerai mundoudza Johani zvamuri kunzwa nezvamuri kuona:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do 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, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumburwi nokuda kwangu.”
And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 Vadzidzi vaJohani pavakanga voenda, Jesu akatanga kuudza vanhu vazhinji nezvaJohani achiti, “Makaenda kurenje kundoonei? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye 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 went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings’ houses.
9 Zvino makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri anopfuura muprofita.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto 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], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti: Pavanhu vose vakaberekwa navakadzi, hapana mukuru kuna Johani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudukusa muushe hwokudenga mukuru kwaari.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven 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 Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
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 will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Rudzi urwu ndingaruenzanisa nei? Vakafanana navana vari mumisika vari kudanidzira kuna vamwe vachiti:
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 Nokuti Johani akanga asingadyi kana kunwa asi vakati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
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 a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Ipapo Jesu akatanga kutuka maguta akanga aitwa zvishamiso zvake zvizhinji, nokuti akanga asina kutendeuka.
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
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 unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done 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.
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 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 art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Asi ndinokuudza kuti guta reSodhomu richarerukirwa pazuva rokutongwa kupfuura iwe.”
But I say unto you, That it shall 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.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Hongu, Baba nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakakufadzai.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good 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 are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him.]
28 “Uyai kwandiri, imi mose makaneta makaremerwa, uye ndichakupai zororo.
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, 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 of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 Nokuti joko rangu hariremi uye mutoro wangu wakareruka.”
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
