Matayo 11
1 Ikabhwa baada j'ha Yesu kumala kubhaj'helekesya bhanafunzi bha muene kumi na bhabhele abhokhili pala kulota kumanyisya ni kuhubiri mu miji ghiabhu,
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 ni Yohana bho aj'he kuligereza bho ap'heliki aj'hele panani pa matendo gha Kristu, alaghisye bhujumbe kup'etela bhanafunzi bha muene,
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 na bhakankota, “Bhebhe ndo j'hola j'ha ihida, au aj'hele j'hongi twilondeka kundendela?”
said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
4 Yesu ajibili nikujobha kwa bhene “'Mulotayi mukan'jobhilayi Yohana ghala gha mukaghabhona ni kughap'heleka.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
5 Bhanu bhabhilolalepi bhibeta kulola, viwete bhibeta kutakasibhwa, bhana bhabhipeleke lepi bhib'eta kup'eleka kabhele, bhana bhabhafuili bhibetakufufulibhwa kukabha bhuhai, na bhanu bhabhilonda bhihubiriwa habari jhinofu.
blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
6 Na abarikibhu jhola jhaibhonalepi shaka juu jha nene.
and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
7 Pindi bhanu abha bhobhabhokili, Yesu akaj'handa kujobha ni bhumati kuhusu Yohana, “Kiki mwalotili kulola kulijangwa lidete lihugunisibhwa ni mp'ongo?
And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?
8 Lakini kiki mwalotili kubhona munu j'haafuele mavazi mololo? Hakika, bhala bhabhifuala mavazi mololo bhitama mu nyumba sya bhafalme.
'But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
9 Lakini mwabhokhili kulola kiki-Nabii? Ena, nikabhajobhela, na zaidi j'ha Nabii.
'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
10 Oj'ho ndo aj'handikibhu, 'Langai, nikandaghisya mjumbe ghwangu mbele j'ha uso bhuakhu, ambaj'he ibetakuandala nj'hela j'ha bhebhe mbele j'ha bhebhe.
for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Nene nikabhajobhela bhukweli, kati j'ha bhabhahogoliki ni bhadala aj'helepi j'haaj'he m'mbaha kuliko Yohana Mbatizaji. Lakini aj'hele n'debe mu bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ndo mmbaha kuliko muene.
Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Kuhoma magono gha Yohana Mbatizaji mpaka henu, bhufalme bhwa mbinguni ni bhwa ngofu, na bhanu bhenye ngofu, bhikautola kwa ngofu.
'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
13 Kwa kuj'ja manabii ni sheria, imekuwa bhakitabiri mpaka kwa Yohana.
for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,
14 Na kama muj'hela tayari kuj'hetekela, oj'ho ndo Eliya, j'hoola j'haihida.
and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
15 J'haaj'hele ni mbolokhoto sya kup'heleka na ap'helekai.
he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.
16 Nikil'eng'enesiayi ni kiki kizazi e'khe? ni mfwanu ghwa bhana bhabhikhina maeneo gha pa soko, babhitama ni kukutana
'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
17 ni kujobha, 'Twabhakhobhili zamori na mwakinilepi. Twaombolizi, na mwal'elililepi.'
and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
18 Kwa kuj'ha Yohana ahidili bila kulya nkate au kunywa mvinyo, na bhakaj'ha bhijobha, 'Aj'he ni pepo.'
'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;
19 Mwana ghwa Adamu ahidili akaj'ha ilya ni kunywa na bhajobhili 'Langai, munu mlyaji ni n'defi, nkamu ghwa bhatoza ushuru na bhenye dhambi!' Lakini heshima j'hidhihirishibhwa kwa matendo ghakhe.”
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
20 Yesu aj'handili kuj'hikhemela miji ambamo baadhi j'ha matendo ghakhe gha ajabu ghabhombiki, kwa ndabha bhabeli kutubu,
Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.
21 Ole bhwakhu, Kolazini, Ole bhwakhu Bethsaida! Kama matendo mabhaha ngaghabhombiki Tiro ni Sidoni ghala ghaghabhombiki apa, ngabhaj'hele bhamali kutubu muandi kwa kufuala magunila ni kubakala malyenge.
'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;
22 Lakini j'hibetakuj'ha bhuvumilivu kwa Tiro ni Sidoni ligono lya hukumu kuliko kwa bhene.
but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.
23 Bhebhe, Kapernaum, ghwidhanila ghwibetakuj'hinulibhwa hadi kumbinguni? Lepi ghwibeta kuselesibhwa hadi pasi kuzimu. Kama kwa Sodoma ni kubhombibhwa matendo mabhaha, kama kyaghabhombiki kwa bhebhe, ngaj'hij'hele hadi lelu. (Hadēs g86)
'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day; (Hadēs g86)
24 Bali nijobha kwa bhebhe kuj'ha j'hibetakuj'ha rahisi kwa nchi j'ha Sodoma kuj'hema ligono lya hukumu kuliko bhebhe.
but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.'
25 Katika muda obho Yesu ajobhili, “Nikusifu bhebhe, Tata, Bwana ghwa Mbingu ni Nchi, kwa ndabha ghwabhafighili mambo agha bhenye hekima ni bhufalme, ni kiughafunula kwa bhasio ni elimu, kama bhana bhadebe.
At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.
26 Tata kwa kuj'ha j'hakupendisi naha pamihu pa bhebhe.
Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.
27 Mambo agha ghakabidhibhu kwa nene kuhoma kwa Tata. Na aj'helepi j'ha ammanyili mwana isipokuj'ha Tata, na aj'helepi j'haammanyili Mwana, na j'hej'hioha j'hola ambaj'he Mwana aj'he ni hamu j'ha kumfunulila.
'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].
28 Muhidai kwa nene, muenga mwebhobha mwamisumbulibhwa ni kuelemebhwa ni misighu misitu, nani nibetakukup'omosesya.
'Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,
29 Mwikipelai nira j'hangu ni mwikifundisiaghe kuhoma kwa nene, kwa kuj'ha nene ne nyenyekevu na mololo ghwa muoyo na mwikabha kuj'homosekelu ka nafsi syenu.
take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,
30 Kwa kuj'ha nira j'hangu j'hilaini ni misighu ghiangu mipepe.
for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.'
