Matayo 11
1 U Yesu naiwakondya kualagiila iamanyisigwa akwe ikumi naabili akahega akalongola kumanyisa nukutanantya muisali yao.
When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Nu Yohana akazukoli kukitungo naiwija intendo yang'wa Kilisto, aulaagilyo ulukani kukiila amanyisigwa akwe,
Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3 hangi ikamukolya, “Uwe yuyu ne nupembilye, ang'wi mungiza nikumulindie?”
and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
4 U Yesu akalunga, longoli mumuile u Yohana ayo nimumaine nayo nimuwigule.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 Iantu niapoku akuona, akitele akugenda, anyambili akogigwa, agulu akija, niakule akuukigwa kutula apanga hangi, niantu niakite insula akutanantiligwa ulukani nuluza.
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.
6 Hangi akembetwe uyu nunihuie unene.
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
7 Itungo naiahega iantu awa, u Yesu akandya kuligitya numilundo kunsoko ang'wa Yohana, aimendile ona ntuni mumbuga- muntu nutugae mienda nimiza? Ang'wi ifa nilikuhingisigwa nung'wega?
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?
8 Ite ntuni naimendile ona-muntu nautugae imyanda nimiza? Ingi tai ao niitugala imyenda nimiza ikue munyumba ya temi.
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 Ite amulongoe kugoza ntuni-Munyakidagu? Ee, humuila. Hangi ukilinkie umunyakidagu.
But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 Uyu yuyo nailindiwe, Goza, kumulagiilya umumboi wane kuntongeela auso wako, uyu nukunonelya inzila pantongeela ako.
For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Une kumuila itai, awa nialugilwe niasungu kutile numukulu kukila u Yohana Mbatizaji, kululo uyu nimunino ukutula mukulu muutemi wa kigulu kukila nuanso.
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.
12 Puma imahiku ang'wa Yohana Mbatizaji sunga nitungile, utemi wa kigulu wa ngulu, niantu nia ngulu ihola kua ngulu.
From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Kunsoko ianyakidagu niaziipilya ankani niazitambula kupika kung'wa Yohana.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Ang'wi wihambile gomba uyu Eliya, naulindiwe.
If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Nukite iakutwe akija ukija.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Nuipyane nintuni uwileli uwu? Ingi pyani ang'enya niakiginsa kiguilyo la maintu, niike nukiitanga,
“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 nu kuligitya akumukuila ikali shamakiginsa, aikuhongeelya shamukalila.
and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
18 Kunsoko u Yohana nauzile singa akalya umukate, singa akang'wa umuvinyo, ukamuila ukete amintunga.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 Ung'wana wang'wa Adamu auzile kulya nukung'wa ikalunga, goza ingi mulii hangi mugala ntuli, muhumba muya wa ahoela mpia na niakite imilandu, ingi uhugu nintendo yigeeleka niakue.”
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.”
20 U Yesu akandya kuikenela isali izo ni ntendo yaukuilwa naiyitumilwe, kunsoko akili kuleka imilandu (kila itunu).
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
21 Ukia ako, Kolazini, ukia ako Bethsaida! Angi intendo ninkulu aizeyatendekile Tiro ni Sidoni, aya naitumilwe apa, azize alekile imilandu kali kutugala imagunila nukipaka imau.
“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.
22 Izetula ugimya i Tiro ni Sidoni imahiku naulamulwa kukila kilalao.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Uewe Kapernaumu, usigile uzeukigwa mpaka kigulu? Ata uzesimigwa mpaka kuulungu. Anga ize intendo ninkulu aizeyilumilwe ku Sodoma, anga naiyitendekile kitalako, aizeikole sunga ni lelo. (Hadēs g86)
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)
24 Ingi izetula bahu ihi a Sodoma kimika uluhiko la ulamulwa kukila uewe.
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
25 Imatungo nanso u Yesu akalunga nakulumbilya uwe Tata, Mukulu wa kilunde ni ihi, kunsoko aupihile inkani awa nia hugu nawa niamahala, uka kunukula kuantu nishaaine anga kintu anga ang'enya nianino.
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.
26 Tata kunsoko aikuloeye uu mumiho ako.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Maintu ihi mambigwe nene kupuma kung'wa Tata. Hangi kutile numulingile ung'wana ingi. U tata du. Hangi kutile numulingile utata ingi ung'wana, nuyu wihi nung'wana ukite insula akukunukuilwa.
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.
28 Nzi kitalane mihi nimulemeigwe nimiligo nimilito, une nze musupya.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Tugali uhuili ane, mimanyise kitalane, kunsoko unene ingi nimuntu wa ukenge nuupolo wa nkolo hangi mkupantika uusupilyo wa nkolo yanyu.
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.
30 Kunsoko nakitalane maza ni miligo ane mipepele.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
