Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵamalisisye kwalajisya ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili, ŵatyosile kweleko, ŵajawile kwiganya ni kulalichila mmisi jajili ku Galilaya.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Nombe che Yohana paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵapilikene ngani ja masengo ga Kilisito Jwakuwombola, ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
akausye, “Ana mmwe ni ŵele ŵakwika ŵala pane twalolele ŵane?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Njaulanje nkaasalile che Yohana aila inkuipilikana ni kuilola.
5 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.
Ŵangalola akulola, ni ŵangajenda akwenda, ni ŵamatana akuswejeswa, ni ŵangapilikana akupilikana, ni ŵawe akusyuswa, ni ŵakulaga akusalilwa Ngani Jambone.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Jwana upile jwele mundu jwangakungolela lipamba.”
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Nipele, ŵele ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana paŵaliji nkwenda, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu ngani si che Yohana aninkuti, “Ana mwajawile kukulola chichi kwele kwipululu ko? Uli, mwajawile kukulilola litete lili nkupungunyikwa ni mbungo?”
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola mundu jwawete iwalo yambone? Ŵandu ŵakuwala iwalo yambone akutama mmajumba ga mamwenye.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Nambo, ana mwajawile kukulola chichi? Mwajawile kukunnola Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu? Elo, ngunsalila, jwakumpunda jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Jwelejo ni che Yohana, Akunnungu juŵangambaga mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, Nnole, nguntuma jwantenga jwangu mmbujo mwenu, juchakankolochesye litala lyenu.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Ngunsalila isyene, mwa ŵandu ŵakutama mu chilambo, nganatyochele mundu jwali jwankulungwa kumpunda che Yohana Ŵakubatisya. Nambo jwalijose jwakulolechela jwannandi mu Umwenye wa kwinani ali jwankulungwa kumpunda jwelejo.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Chitandile katema kaŵalalichilaga che Yohana Ŵakubatisya mpaka lelo, umwenye wa kwinani ukukanikwa, ni ŵandu ŵaali ni machili akulinga kuujigala kwa machili.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Majiganyo gose ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Malajisyo gakunguluchile ngani ja umwenye wa Akunnungu mpaka katema ka che Yohana.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Iŵaga nkusaka kwitichisya gelega, che Yohana ju ni che Elia juchaiche.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Jwakwete mapilikanilo, apilikane!
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
“Chinaulandanye ni chichi uŵelesi wu? Ulandene ni achachanda ŵaŵatemi paluŵala lwa kusumichisya malonda, ni kuŵechetesyana ni achinjao,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
‘Twangombele ngoma nambo nganintyala! Twanjimbile nyimbo sya pamalilo nambo nganinlila!’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Pakuŵa Che Yohana ŵaiche, ŵataŵaga ni nganang'waga divai, ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Akamwilwe ni masoka.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Mwana jwa Mundu ŵaiche, achilyaga ni aching'waga ni ŵanyawo ŵatite, ‘Munnole aju, jwakutolwa ni jwakolelwa, mmbusanga jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵa sambi!’ Nambo lunda lwa Akunnungu lwawoneche kuŵa lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yakwe.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwakalipila ŵandu ŵa misi jo jiŵatesile yakusimonjeka, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganaleka sambi.
21 “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.
“Ulaje kukwenu ku Kolasini! Ulaje kukwenu ku Besesaida! Pakuŵa, ayi yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu, ikatendekwe akula ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni kula, ŵandu ŵakwe akawasile magunia ni kutama mu itutu kulosya kuti alesile sambi syao.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula, ŵanyamwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Nomwe Kapelenaumu ana chinlikusye mpaka kwinani? Chinchituluswa mpaka kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile. Pakuŵa, yakusimosya yaitendekwe kukwenu ikatendekwe ku Sodoma, wele musi wo ukaliji chiŵela mpaka lelo. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Nambo ngunsalila, lyuŵa lya kulamula mmwe chinjamukwe kwannope kupunda ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma.”
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Katema kakoko, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nguntogolela Atati, Ambuje ŵa kwinani ni chilambo, pakuŵa mwasisile indu yi ŵandu ŵa lunda ni ŵandu ŵa umanyilisi ni kwaunukulila ŵanache.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Elo, Atati, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakunnonyela.
27 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.
“Atati ŵangu ambele indu yose. Ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Mwana, akaŵe Atati, ni sooni ngapagwa jwakummanyilila Atati, akaŵe Mwana ni jwalijose jwakunsaka Mwana kuti ammunukulile.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Njisanje kukwangu ŵanyamwe wose unkusauka ni kutopelwa ni misigo jakutopa, none chinampumusye.
29 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.
Mungunde, nkalijiganye kukwangu, pakuŵa une ndili jwakutulala ni jwakulitulusya, nomwe chinkapumule mmitima jenu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Pakuŵa chingunsalila mpanganye chili chambone kukwenu ni chingumpa njigale ngachikutopa.”
