Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Nichakaba kuti Jesu wamaninsya kulayilila basikwiya bakwe balikkumi ababili, wakazwa nkukonya oko wakuyisya akukambawuka mumadolopo aabo.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Lino Joni nakamvwa muntolongo atala anchito zya Kkilisito, wakatuma basikwiya bakwe
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
ajwi elyo bakati kulinguwe, “Nduwe na ulokuza, na kuti tuchilangilila uumbi?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kulimbabo, “Mwinke mukaambe kuli Joni nzimwabona akumvwa.
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.
Bataboni balikutambula kubona, zilema zilenda, balezipele balokusalazigwa, batamvwi balokumvwa lubo, bafwide balokubusigwa lubo kubawumi, amakani mabotu alokukambawukwa kubachete.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Alubo ngusicholwe kufumbwa utabilizigwi andime.”
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?
Lino aba bantu nibakeenda munzila yabo Jesu wakatalika kwamba kumakamu atala a Joni, “Mwakayinka kuya kunkanda kuyobonanzi - ityetye lizunganisigwa aguuwo?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Pesi mwakayinka kuya kuyobonanzi - muntu usamide ziteete? Mbukubede, abo basama zisamo ziteetete bakkala mumaanda abami.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Pesi mwakainka kunze kuyobonanzi - musinsimi? Iyi, ndati kulindinywe, akwinda musinsimi.
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.’
Echi nchenchicho nguchakali kulembeledwe obu. 'Bona, ndinokutuma mutumwa wangu kunembo lyabusyu bwako, uyokubambila nzila kunembo lyako.
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.
“Ndamba kulindinye nkasimpe, takukwe nikwakabukide akati kabaabo bazyalwa abanakazi unga ulaba mupati kwinda Joni mubbabbatizyi. Nekubaboobo, munini muntu mukolondo kubwami bwakujulu mupati kwinda nguwe.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Kuzwa kumazuba a Joni mubbabbtizyi kusikila lino, bwami bwakujulubulokufwabisigwa alupyopyongano, lino bantu balupyopyongana balalubweza changuzu.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mbukunga boonse basinsimi amulawu wakali kusinsima kusikila kuli Joni.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Elyo nawayanda kuzumina kuchitambula, oyu ngu Elija, nguwe wakali kuzosika.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Kuliyoyo ulamatwi akumvwa, ngamvwe.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Kuli chili nchindinga ndilayezyanisya azyalane lyasunu? Chili mbuli bana basobana kuchisambalilo, bakkala akwita umwi awumwi,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
akwamba, 'twakakulizizya muteetele, aboobo tewakazyana pe. Twakayeema, pele tewakalila.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Aboobo Joni wakasika katalyi chinkwa nanka kunywa masansa, elyo bakati, Uladimoni.
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 amuntu wakasika akulya akunywa elyo bakati, Langa, mwalumi sindya amukolwi, muzolwani abasimutelo abasizibi!' Pesi busongo bulalulamikwa anchito zyakwe.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Elyo Jesu wakatalika kukalalila madolopo omo mwakachita malele akwe manji, nkambo tebakeempwa.
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.
“Maawe kulinduwe, Kkolazini! Mawe kulinduwe, Bbetisayida! Kansinga malele akachitwa ku Taya a Sidoni akachitwa kulindinywe, ninga bakeempwa kale kuchindi chakayinda muzisamo zyamasaka amudyota.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Pesi kulakuyandika chakwindilila kubuzuba bwalubeta kwinda nduwe.
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)
Webo, Kapenawumu, uyeeya kuti uzosumpulwa kujulu? Peepe, unoyoyetwa ansi kumulindi utagoli [Hadesi]. Nikwali kuti mu Sodomu mwakachitwa malele akachitwa mulinduwe, ninga mwachili asunu. (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.”
Pele ndati kulinduwe chiyobachubila kunyika ya Sodomu mubuzuba bwalubeta kwinda nduwe.”
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.
Kuchindi echo Jesu wakati, “Ndilikutembawula Taata, Mwami, wakujulu anyika, nkambo wasisila basongo abamvwisya, akuyubunwida bana banini:
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Iyii, Taata, Eechi chakalikubotezya kumeso ako.
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.
Zintu zyonse zyakapegwa ndime kuzwa kuli Taata. Elyo takwe umwi uzi mwana kunze kwa Taata, mpawo, takwe uzi Taata kunze kwamwana aboobo kuloyo mwana ngwasala kuti amuyubunune.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Amuze kulindime, moonse nimukatede animulemenwa ndiyomupa kulyokezya.
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.
Amubweze ijokwe lyangu lili alindime akwiiya kulindime, nkambo ndilimubombe akuba mutete moyo, eelyo muyojana kulyokezya kwmyuuya yanu.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Nkambo ijokwe lyangu niteete alubo ndiguba amukuli wangu tulemi pe.”
