Matthew 11 (YOM)

1Yesu bu kamanisa vana zithumunu ziozi kuidi kumi minlonguki miandi miodi, wuyenda longi ayi samuna mu mavula mawu.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Yowani Mbotiki mu thangu kaba mu nloko, wuwa tsangu yi mavanga momo Klisto kaba vanganga, buna wufidisa minlonguki miandi muingi banyuvula :Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3—Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tuvingila wunkaka e ?to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Yesu wuba vutudila : —Luvutuka kuidi Yowani ayi lunkamba mambu momo lulembo wa ayi lulembo moni :Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5batu bafua meso balembo moni ; makoka malembo diati ; batu babuazi balembo vedusu ; batu bafua matu balembo wi ayi bafua balembo fuluka ayi Nsamu Wumboti wulembo longu kuidi batu basukama.The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

6Khini kuidi mutu wela kambu zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Mu thangu minlonguki mivutuka, Yesu wubaka diluaku di yolukila mambu ma Yowani Mbotiki kuidi nkangu wu batu : —Mbi biobi luyenda tala ku dikanga e ? Nti wufioti wulembo vevomono kuidi phemo e ?As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

8Vayi buna nani luyenda tala e ? Mutu wuvuata minledi mi kitoko e ? Nana. Bila batu bobo bamvuatanga minledi mi kitoko mu zinzo zi mintinu bankalanga.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.

9Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala ? Mbikudi luyenda tala e ? Nyinga, buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Bila niandi mutu wowo minkanda milembo tubila ti : tala, mfidisidi mvualꞌama ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kukubikila nzila !This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11Bukiedika ndikulukamba : mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuisi ko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani Mbotiki. Vayi mutu wowo wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu, wunlutidi.Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12Tona mu bilumbu bi Yowani Mbotiki nate buabu Kipfumu ki Diyilu kilembo bakulu mu kingolo ayi batu ba ngolo bawu kaka banzionanga kiawu.From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

13Bila Mina ayi mimbikudi mioso mibikula nate mu thangu Yowani.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Enati lutidi ku diwilukila buna luzaba ti niandi Eli mutu wowo wufueti kuiza.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Woso widi matu ma wilu buna bika kawa.He who has ears, let him hear.

16—Banga mbi ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e ? Yidedikini banga bana bafioti bavuendi va zandu ayi balembo tedi bakundi bawu :To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17Beto tulusikidi nsioni lusia kina ko ; tuyimbila minkunga mi mafua vayi lusia nionga ko.‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasa nua ko ayi kasa dia ko vayi bakamba : “pheve yimbimbi yidi yandi !”For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Vayi Muana Mutu, wuyiza, wundia ayi wunua ayi bakamba : “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolo mbungu, nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wu bankua masumu.” Vayi nduenga yimonikanga bumboti mu mavanga mandi.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

20Bosi wutubidila ngolo mavula momo mu kavangila bikumu biandi biwombo, bila batu bobo basia balula mavanga mawu ko.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21—Mabienga kuidi ngeyo Kolazini ayi ngeyo Betezayida bila enati ndivanga mu mavula ma Tile ayi Sidoni bikumu biobi ndivanga va beno, nganu thama batu ba mavula beni bavuata zitsaku ayi bakivinda dibombi mu monisa ti babaludi mintima.“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, Tile ayi Sidoni bela baka thumbudulu yifioti vayi yeno yela luta ngolo !But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Bosi ngeyo Kafalinawumi, wumuena ti ngeyo wela tombulu ku yilu e ? Nana ! Wela kululu nate ku tsi bafua ! Bila enati ndivanga mu Sodomo bikumu banga biobi ndivanga kuidi ngeyo, nganu divula beni dilembo zingi nate buabu.And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, thumbudulu yi Sodomo yela ba yideduka, yaku yela viatuka ngolo !But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Mu thangu yina, Yesu wukamba : —A Tata, Pfumu yi Diyilu ayi yi ntoto, ndikukembisa bu wusueka mambu mama kuidi batu badi nzayilu ayi kuidi batu badi diela vayi wumonisa mawu kuidi bana bafioti.At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

26Nyinga Tata, buawu bobo bubela luzolo luaku.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27Dise diama niandi wuphana bima bioso. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Muana vayi Tata kaka wunzebi. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Tata vayi Muana wunzebi ayi mutu wowo Muana kazodidi kummonikisa niandi.All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

28Yizanu kuidi minu beno boso bobo luvongidi ayi luneti mimfuna, minu mandi luvundisa.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Bika lubonga vangu kiama, lulonguka kuidi minu bila minu ndidi mutu wu ntima wulembami ayi wukuluka ayi ma lubaka luvundulu mu miela mieno.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.

30Bukiedika vangu kiama kisi phasi mu nata ko ayi mfunꞌama wisi zitu ko.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
