Matthew 11
1 Yesu bu kamanisa vana zithumunu ziozi kuidi kumi minlonguki miandi miodi, wuyenda longi ayi samuna mu mavula mawu.
When Jesus had made an end of instructing his twelve disciples, he departed thence, to teach and give warning in the cities.
2 Yowani Mbotiki mu thangu kaba mu nloko, wuwa tsangu yi mavanga momo Klisto kaba vanganga, buna wufidisa minlonguki miandi muingi banyuvula:
Now John, having heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, sent two of his disciples,
3 —Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tuvingila wunkaka e?
who asked him, Are you he that comes, or must we expect another?
4 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Luvutuka kuidi Yowani ayi lunkamba mambu momo lulembo wa ayi lulembo moni:
Jesus answering, said to them, Go, and relate to John, what you have heard and seen.
5 batu bafua meso balembo moni; makoka malembo diati; batu babuazi balembo vedusu; batu bafua matu balembo wi ayi bafua balembo fuluka ayi Nsamu Wumboti wulembo longu kuidi batu basukama.
The blind are made to see, the lame to walk; lepers are cleansed; the deaf hear; the dead are raised; and good news is brought to the poor;
6 Khini kuidi mutu wela kambu zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
and happy is he, to whom I shall not prove a stumbling block.
7 Mu thangu minlonguki mivutuka, Yesu wubaka diluaku di yolukila mambu ma Yowani Mbotiki kuidi nkangu wu batu: —Mbi biobi luyenda tala ku dikanga e? Nti wufioti wulembo vevomono kuidi phemo e?
When they were departed, Jesus said to the people concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Vayi buna nani luyenda tala e? Mutu wuvuata minledi mi kitoko e? Nana. Bila batu bobo bamvuatanga minledi mi kitoko mu zinzo zi mintinu bankalanga.
But what did you go out to see? A man effeminately dressed? It is king's palaces that such frequent.
9 Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala? Mbikudi luyenda tala e? Nyinga, buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.
What did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and something superior to a prophet:
10 Bila niandi mutu wowo minkanda milembo tubila ti: tala, mfidisidi mvualꞌama ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kukubikila nzila!
for this is he, concerning whom it is written, "Behold I will send my angel before you, who shall prepare your way."
11 Bukiedika ndikulukamba: mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuisi ko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani Mbotiki. Vayi mutu wowo wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu, wunlutidi.
Indeed, I say to you, among those that are born of women, there has not arisen a greater than John the Immerser. Yet the least in the Reign of Heaven is greater than he.
12 Tona mu bilumbu bi Yowani Mbotiki nate buabu Kipfumu ki Diyilu kilembo bakulu mu kingolo ayi batu ba ngolo bawu kaka banzionanga kiawu.
From the first appearing of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is invaded, and invaders take possession by force.
13 Bila Mina ayi mimbikudi mioso mibikula nate mu thangu Yowani.
For till John appeared, all the prophets and the law were your instructions:
14 Enati lutidi ku diwilukila buna luzaba ti niandi Eli mutu wowo wufueti kuiza.
and, if you will bear to be told it, this is the Elijah that was to come.
15 Woso widi matu ma wilu buna bika kawa.
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 —Banga mbi ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga bana bafioti bavuendi va zandu ayi balembo tedi bakundi bawu:
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like boys in the market places, to whom their playfellows complain,
17 Beto tulusikidi nsioni lusia kina ko; tuyimbila minkunga mi mafua vayi lusia nionga ko.
saying, We have played to you upon the pipe, but you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs to you, but you have not lamented.
18 Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasa nua ko ayi kasa dia ko vayi bakamba: “pheve yimbimbi yidi yandi!”
For John came abstaining from meat and drink, and they say, He has a demon;
19 Vayi Muana Mutu, wuyiza, wundia ayi wunua ayi bakamba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolo mbungu, nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wu bankua masumu.” Vayi nduenga yimonikanga bumboti mu mavanga mandi.
the Son of Man came using meat and drink, and they say, He is a lover of banquets and wine, a companion of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
20 Bosi wutubidila ngolo mavula momo mu kavangila bikumu biandi biwombo, bila batu bobo basia balula mavanga mawu ko.
Then he began to reproach the cities, in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they reformed not.
21 —Mabienga kuidi ngeyo Kolazini ayi ngeyo Betezayida bila enati ndivanga mu mavula ma Tile ayi Sidoni bikumu biobi ndivanga va beno, nganu thama batu ba mavula beni bavuata zitsaku ayi bakivinda dibombi mu monisa ti babaludi mintima.
Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles which have been performed in you, had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they had reformed long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, Tile ayi Sidoni bela baka thumbudulu yifioti vayi yeno yela luta ngolo!
Know, therefore, that the condition of Tyre and Sidon, on the day of judgment, shall be more tolerable than yours.
23 Bosi ngeyo Kafalinawumi, wumuena ti ngeyo wela tombulu ku yilu e? Nana! Wela kululu nate ku tsi bafua! Bila enati ndivanga mu Sodomo bikumu banga biobi ndivanga kuidi ngeyo, nganu divula beni dilembo zingi nate buabu. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to Hades; for, if the miracles which have been performed in thee, had been performed in Sodom, it had remained till now. (Hadēs g86)
24 Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, thumbudulu yi Sodomo yela ba yideduka, yaku yela viatuka ngolo!
Know, therefore, that the condition of Sodom, on the day of judgment, shall be more tolerable than thine.
25 Mu thangu yina, Yesu wukamba: —A Tata, Pfumu yi Diyilu ayi yi ntoto, ndikukembisa bu wusueka mambu mama kuidi batu badi nzayilu ayi kuidi batu badi diela vayi wumonisa mawu kuidi bana bafioti.
On that occasion Jesus said, I adore thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because, having concealed these things from sages and the learned, thou hast revealed them to babes:
26 Nyinga Tata, buawu bobo bubela luzolo luaku.
yes, Father, because such is thy pleasure.
27 Dise diama niandi wuphana bima bioso. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Muana vayi Tata kaka wunzebi. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Tata vayi Muana wunzebi ayi mutu wowo Muana kazodidi kummonikisa niandi.
My Father has imparted everything to me; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; neither knows any one the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
28 Yizanu kuidi minu beno boso bobo luvongidi ayi luneti mimfuna, minu mandi luvundisa.
Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Bika lubonga vangu kiama, lulonguka kuidi minu bila minu ndidi mutu wu ntima wulembami ayi wukuluka ayi ma lubaka luvundulu mu miela mieno.
Take my yoke upon you, and be taught by me; for I am meek and condescending: and your souls shall find relief.
30 Bukiedika vangu kiama kisi phasi mu nata ko ayi mfunꞌama wisi zitu ko.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
