Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
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 when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
UYohani alyadindilue mu ndinde. Ye ali mu ndinde, akapulika imbombo sino uKilisite akava ivomba. Pe akasuung'ha avavulanisivua vaake.
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
vamposie uYesu kuuti, Uve veeve KIlisite juno avavili valyavilile kuuti ilikwisa? Nave naveeve, tuhuvilaghe ujunge?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
UYesu akavamula akati, “Mulute mum'buule uYohani sooni sino musivwene na kupulika.
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.
Avabofu vilola, avalema vighenda, avanya buuba vivalal, avanya mapula vipulika, avafue visyuka. Kange, avakotofu vipulisivua iMhola iNofu.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Avafunyilue umuunhu juno ikunyitika une kisila nganighani”
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?
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 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
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 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much 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 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who 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 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.
“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 days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Kuhuma ifighono fino uYohani uMwofughi ipulisia kuhanga kufika umusyughu, uvutwa vwa kukyanya vulondua ku ngufu, ve vano vighela pikwingila mu vutwa uvuo.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Avavili vooni ni ndaghilo sa Moose filungika sino silivoneka kufika unsiki ughwa Yohani.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Lino, nave mukwitika uvuvili vwave, uYohani ghwe Eliya jula juno alyajovilue kuuti ikwiisa.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Unya kupulika, apulikaghe.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
“Asi, nihwanikisie ni kiki avaanhu ava kisina iki? Vahwaniniine na vaana vano vineena ku lighulilo, neke vikuvavuula avajanave, viiti,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
“Tuvakuviile ifilongilongi ifya lukeelo, namusejile! Tuvimbiile ulwimbo ulwa lusukunalo, namulilile!
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Fye lulivuo na jumue! UYOhani alisile, naalisagha nambekunyua, avaanhu vakati, 'Ali ni lpepo.'
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.”
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 he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Pepano uYesu akatengula pikughadalikila amakaaja muno akavombile ifidegho finga, ulwakuva avaanhu mu makaaja aghuo navalyalatile inyivi saave. Akavavuula, akati,
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.
'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 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Lino likuvavuula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome, kukila ulwa vaanhu ava ku Tiilo na 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)
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 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Lino nikuvavula kuuti, ikighono ikya vuhighi ulupumuko lwinu luliiva lukome kukila ulwa likaaja ilya 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.
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, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Eena Nhaata, ulwakuva uluo lwe luno ukeliile.”
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.
“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 labor and are heavily 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 upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; 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.
