Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished giving directions to his twelve Disciples, he left that place in order to teach and preach in their towns.
UYesu ye amalile kukuvavuula avavulanisvua vaake kijigho na vavili sino vanoghiile kuvomba, akavuuta pala, akaluta mu makaaja gha kighavo ikya Galilaya kupulisia na kuvulanisia avaanhu ilisio lya uNguluve.
2 Now John had heard in prison what the Christ was doing, and he sent a message by his disciples,
UYohani alyadindilue mu ndinde. Ye ali mu ndinde, akapulika imbombo sino uKilisite akava ivomba. Pe akasuung'ha avavulanisivua vaake.
3 and asked – ‘Are you “the coming one,” or are we to look for someone else?’
vamposie uYesu kuuti, Uve veeve KIlisite juno avavili valyavilile kuuti ilikwisa? Nave naveeve, tuhuvilaghe ujunge?
4 The answer of Jesus to the question was – ‘Go and report to John what you hear and see –
UYesu akavamula akati, “Mulute mum'buule uYohani sooni sino musivwene na kupulika.
5 the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead, too, are raised to life, and the good news is told to the poor.
Avabofu vilola, avalema vighenda, avanya buuba vivalal, avanya mapula vipulika, avafue visyuka. Kange, avakotofu vipulisivua iMhola iNofu.
6 Blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.’
Avafunyilue umuunhu juno ikunyitika une kisila nganighani”
7 While John’s disciples were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John,
Avavulanisivua va Yohani ye vavukile, UYesu akatengula kukulivuula ilipugha lila imhola isa Yohani, akati, 'Mukalutile ku lihaka kulola ikiki? Mwahuvilagha kukumwagha umuunhu juno ikeela kwitika ndavule ilitete lino likeela kudepa nui mhepo? Jeeje!
8 ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man richly dressed? Why, those who wear rich things are to be found in the courts of kings!
Pe mukalutile kukola umuunhu juno ali ndaani? Asi, mukalutile kukola umuunhu juno afwalile amenda agha ndalama nyinga? Pulikisia, vaanhu vano vifwala amenda agha ndalama nyinga vikukala mu nyumba isa vatwa
9 What, then, did you go for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
Lino pe mukalutile kulola umuunhu juno ali ndaani? Mukalutile kukumulola um'bili? Se seene! Nikuvavuula kuuti ujuo nam'bili lwene, looli ujuo m'baha kukila um'bili.
10 This is the man of whom scripture says – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.”
Ujuo ghwe juno imhola saake silembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Lolagha, nikusuung'ha unyamhola ghwango akulongolele. Ujuo ghwe ikukuling'hanikisyagha isila jaako.'
11 I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
“Kyang'haani nikuvavuula kuuti, ku vaanhu vooni naaghelile kuvoneka umuunhu um'baha kukila uYohani uMwofughi. Neke juno n'debe mu vutwa vwa kukyanya, m'baha kukila Yohani.
12 From the time of John the Baptist to this very hour, the kingdom of heaven has been taken by force, and people using force have been seizing it.
Kuhuma ifighono fino uYohani uMwofughi ipulisia kuhanga kufika umusyughu, uvutwa vwa kukyanya vulondua ku ngufu, ve vano vighela pikwingila mu vutwa uvuo.
13 For the teaching of all the prophets and of the Law continued until the time of John;
Avavili vooni ni ndaghilo sa Moose filungika sino silivoneka kufika unsiki ughwa Yohani.
14 and – if you are ready to accept it – John is himself the Elijah who was destined to come.
Lino, nave mukwitika uvuvili vwave, uYohani ghwe Eliya jula juno alyajovilue kuuti ikwiisa.
15 If you have ears, listen.
Unya kupulika, apulikaghe.
16 But to what will I compare the present generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-places and calling out to their playmates –
“Asi, nihwanikisie ni kiki avaanhu ava kisina iki? Vahwaniniine na vaana vano vineena ku lighulilo, neke vikuvavuula avajanave, viiti,
17 We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not mourned.
“Tuvakuviile ifilongilongi ifya lukeelo, namusejile! Tuvimbiile ulwimbo ulwa lusukunalo, namulilile!
18 For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, people said “He has a demon in him”;
Fye lulivuo na jumue! UYOhani alisile, naalisagha nambekunyua, avaanhu vakati, 'Ali ni lpepo.'
19 and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying “Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!” And yet wisdom is vindicated by her actions.’
Neke une ne Mwana wa Muunhu nisile, nilia na kunyua, aveene viiti, “Uju nyamwojo, mughaasi! kange mmanyaani ghwa vasongesia songo, na vahosi!' Neke uvukagusi vwa Nguluve, vuvoneka vwa kyang'haani mu mbombo saake.”
20 Then Jesus began to reproach the towns in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented,
Pepano uYesu akatengula pikughadalikila amakaaja muno akavombile ifidegho finga, ulwakuva avaanhu mu makaaja aghuo navalyalatile inyivi saave. Akavavuula, akati,
21 ‘Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
'Iga mwe vaanhu va likaaja lya Kolasini! Iga mwe vaanhu va likaaja ilya Betisaida! Ulwakuva ifidegho fino nivombile kulyumue, fyale fivombeke ku likaaja ilya Tiilo ni lya Sidoni, avaanhu mu makaaja aghuo ngale valyalatile, Vaale vifwala amagunila na kupakala ilipembo kuhufia ululaato lwave.
22 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.
Lino likuvavuula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome, kukila ulwa vaanhu ava ku Tiilo na ku Sidoni.
23 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been standing to this day. (Hadēs g86)
Na jumue mwe vaanhu mu likaaja lya Kapelenaumu, mukuvona kuuti mulifika kukyanya kwa Nguluve? Jeeje, nafye luliiva! Looli ilikuvataagha paasi kuvuue. Ulwakuva ifidegho fino fivombiike kulyumue fyale fivombeke ku Sodoma, ilikaaaja ilio ngale kwelili nambe umusyughu. (Hadēs g86)
24 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Sodom will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.’
Lino nikuvavula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome kukila ulwa likaaja ilya Sodoma.”
25 At that same time Jesus uttered the words, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike!
Unsiki ughuo uYesu akajova akati, “Ghwe Nhaata, ghwe juno utemile kukyanya na paasi, nikikuhongesia ulwakuva imhola isi uvafisile avimbi na vakagusi, neke uvahufisie avaanhu vano vikujisia hweene vaana vadebe.
26 Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
Eena Nhaata, ulwakuva uluo lwe luno ukeliile.”
27 Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone fully know the Son, except the Father, or fully know the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.
“UNhaata ghwango anhavuliile fyoni. Neke na kwale juno ankagwile uMwana, looli ju Nhaata mwene. Kange, nakwale juno ankagwile uNhaata, looli uMwana, nu muunhu ghweni juno uMwana ilonda kukumhu
28 Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest!
“Mwisaghe kuklyune mweni mwe vano mupumusivua na na kulemua na masigho gha ndaghilo, une ikuvapeela kupuma.
29 Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls;
Mukundaghe kulongosivua nuune, ndavule ing'ombe vule silongosivua ni joki. Mumanyilaghe kulyune, ulwakuva une nili nkoola kange nili nu lujisio. Apuo pe muuva nu lutengaano mu moojo ghiinu.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’
Ilijoki lyango nalilemasia, kange unsigho ghwango mpepe.
