Mathayo 11

11:1	Na ikawa hivyo, Yesu alipomaliza kuwaagiza wanafunzi wake kumi na wawili, akaondoka huko ili kufundisha na kuhubiri katika miji yao.
11:2	Now when John had heard, in prison, about the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, akamwambia,
11:3	“Je, wewe ndiye atakayekuja, or should we expect another?”
11:4	Na Yesu, kujibu, akawaambia: “Nendeni mkamwambie Yohana yale mliyoyasikia na kuyaona.
11:5	The blind see, viwete wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanatakaswa, viziwi kusikia, wafu wanafufuka tena, maskini wanainjilishwa.
11:6	And blessed is he who has found no offense in me.”
11:7	Kisha, after they departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “Mlitoka kwenda nyikani kuona nini?? Mwanzi unaotikiswa na upepo?
11:8	So what did you go out to see? A man in soft garments? Tazama, those who are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings.
11:9	Kisha mlikwenda kuona nini?? Nabii? Ndiyo, Nakuambia, na zaidi ya nabii.
11:10	For this is he, of whom it is written: ‘Tazama, Ninamtuma Malaika wangu mbele ya uso wako, who shall prepare your way before you.’
11:11	Amina nawaambia, miongoni mwa waliozaliwa na wanawake, hakuna aliye mkuu kuliko Yohana Mbatizaji. Lakini aliye mdogo kabisa katika ufalme wa mbinguni ni mkuu kuliko yeye.
11:12	Lakini tangu siku za Yohana Mbatizaji, hata mpaka sasa, ufalme wa mbinguni umestahimili jeuri, na wenye jeuri huichukua.
11:13	Kwa maana manabii wote na torati walitabiri, hata Yohana.
11:14	Na ikiwa uko tayari kukubali, ndiye Eliya, nani aje.
11:15	Mwenye masikio ya kusikia, asikie.
11:16	Lakini nitakifananisha na nini kizazi hiki? Ni kama watoto wanaokaa sokoni,
11:17	WHO, kuwaita wenzao, sema: ‘Tulikuchezea muziki, na hukucheza. Tuliomboleza, wala hamkuomboleza.’
11:18	Kwa maana Yohana alikuja hali wala hanywi; na wanasema, ‘Ana pepo.’
11:19	Mwana wa Adamu alikuja akila na kunywa; na wanasema, ‘Tazama, mtu anayekula kwa ulafi na kunywa divai, rafiki wa watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi.’ Lakini hekima inahesabiwa haki na wanawe.”
11:20	Kisha akaanza kukemea miji ambayo miujiza yake mingi ilitimizwa, maana walikuwa bado hawajatubu.
11:21	“Ole wako, Korazini! Ole wako, Bethsaida! Kwa maana ikiwa miujiza iliyofanyika kwenu ingalifanyika katika Tiro na Sidoni, wangetubu zamani kwa nguo za nywele na majivu.
11:22	Bado kweli, Nawaambia, Tiro na Sidoni watasamehewa kuliko ninyi, siku ya hukumu.
11:23	Na wewe, Kapernaumu, ungeinuliwa mpaka mbinguni? Utashuka mpaka Jahannamu. Kwa maana ikiwa miujiza iliyofanyika kwako ingalifanyika huko Sodoma, labda ingebaki, hata leo.
11:24	Bado kweli, Nawaambia, kwamba nchi ya Sodoma itasamehewa kuliko wewe, siku ya hukumu.”
11:25	Wakati huo, Yesu akajibu na kusema: “Nakukubali, Baba, Bwana wa Mbingu na ardhi, kwa kuwa mambo haya umewaficha wenye hekima na akili, na nimewafunulia watoto wadogo.
11:26	Ndiyo, Baba, kwa maana hili lilipendeza mbele yenu.
11:27	Nimekabidhiwa vitu vyote na Baba yangu. Na hakuna amjuaye Mwana ila Baba, wala hakuna amjuaye Baba ila Mwana, na wale ambao Mwana anapenda kuwafunulia.
11:28	Njoo kwangu, ninyi nyote msumbukao na kulemewa na mizigo, nami nitawaburudisha.
11:29	Jitieni nira yangu, na ujifunze kutoka kwangu, kwa maana mimi ni mpole na mnyenyekevu wa moyo; nanyi mtapata raha nafsini mwenu.
11:30	Kwa maana nira yangu ni tamu na mzigo wangu ni mwepesi.”
