Mateo 11
1 Jesu akati apedza kurayira vadzidzi vake gumi navaviri, akabvapo akandodzidzisa nokuparidza mumaguta omuGarirea.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he removed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Zvino Johani ari mutorongo, paakanzwa nezvamabasa aJesu, akabva atuma vadzidzi vake
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 kundobvunza vachiti, “Ko, ndimi iye akanzi achauya here, kana kuti totarisira mumwe?”
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Dzokerai mundoudza Johani zvamuri kunzwa nezvamuri kuona:
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you 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.
(that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
6 Akaropafadzwa munhu asingagumburwi nokuda kwangu.”
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 Vadzidzi vaJohani pavakanga voenda, Jesu akatanga kuudza vanhu vazhinji nezvaJohani achiti, “Makaenda kurenje kundoonei? Rutsanga rwaizungunuswa nemhepo here?
But when they were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the assembly concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the waste to see? a reed that by the wind was shaken?
8 Kana zvisizvo, makabuda kundoonei? Maindoona murume akanga akapfeka nguo dzakanaka here? Kwete, avo vanopfeka nguo dzakanaka vari mumizinda yamadzimambo.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft vestments? Behold, they who are softly clothed are in the house of kings.
9 Zvino makabuda kundooneiko? Muprofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri anopfuura muprofita.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? I tell you, Yes; 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 concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti: Pavanhu vose vakaberekwa navakadzi, hapana mukuru kuna Johani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudukusa muushe hwokudenga mukuru kwaari.
Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women who greater than Juchanon the Baptizer: yet, the 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.
But from the days of Juchanon the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of the heavens by violence is taken, and the violent ones seize it.
13 Nokuti Vaprofita vose neMirayiro vakaprofita kusvikira pana Johani.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 Kana muchida kuzvigamuchira, ndiye Eria akanga achizouya.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 Uyo ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall 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 who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 “‘Takakuridzirai hwamanda, asi hamuna kutamba; takaimba rwiyo rworufu, uye hamuna kuchema.’
and say, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
18 Nokuti Johani akanga asingadyi kana kunwa asi vakati, ‘Ane dhimoni.’
For Juchanon 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, See a man a devourer, a wine-drinker, a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners. But justified is wisdom by her servants.
20 Ipapo Jesu akatanga kutuka maguta akanga aitwa zvishamiso zvake zvizhinji, nokuti akanga asina kutendeuka.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which 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.
saying, Woe to thee, Korazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.
22 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti Tire neSidhoni zvicharerukirwa pazuva rokutongwa kupfuura imi.
But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable 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, Kaphernachum, who unto heaven art exalted, unto Shiul shalt be brought down; for if in Sadum had been done those miracles which have been done in thee, it would have stood until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Asi ndinokuudza kuti guta reSodhomu richarerukirwa pazuva rokutongwa kupfuura iwe.”
But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable 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.
IN that time Jeshu answered and said, I praise thee, my Father, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou hast concealed these (things) from the wise and prudent, but hast revealed them unto little children.
26 Hongu, Baba nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakakufadzai.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
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 to me from my Father; and no man knoweth the Son but the Father; also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).
28 “Uyai kwandiri, imi mose makaneta makaremerwa, uye ndichakupai zororo.
Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Takurai joko rangu, mudzidze kwandiri, nokuti ndiri munyoro uye ndine mwoyo unozvininipisa, uye muchawana zororo remweya yenyu.
Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
30 Nokuti joko rangu hariremi uye mutoro wangu wakareruka.”
For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
