2Sa’ad da Yohanna Mai Baftisma ya ji a kurkuku abin da Kiristi yake yi, sai ya aiki almajiransa 3su tambaye shi, “Kai ne wanda zai zo, ko kuwa mu sa ido ga wani?”
4Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Ku koma ku gaya wa Yohanna abin da kuka ji, kuka kuma gani. 5Makafi suna gani, guragu suna tafiya, ana warkar da waɗanda suke da kuturta, kurame suna ji, ana tā da matattu, ana kuma yi wa matalauta wa’azin labari mai daɗi. 6Mai albarka ne mutumin da bai yi tuntuɓe ba saboda ni.”

Mutum mai sanye da riguna masu kyau ne? A’a, masu sa riguna masu kyau, ai, a fadan sarakuna suke. 9To, me kuka je kallo ne? Annabi?

“ ‘Zan aiki ɗan saƙona yă sha gabanka,

11Gaskiya nake gaya muku. A cikin dukan waɗanda mata suka haifa, ba wani da ya taso da ya fi Yohanna Mai Baftisma girma; duk da haka mafi ƙanƙanta a mulkin sama ya fi shi girma. 12Tun daga kwanakin Yohanna Mai Baftisma har yă zuwa yanzu, mulkin sama yana sha da ƙyar, fitanannu kuma sun kama mulkin sama sun riƙe gam. 13Gama dukan Annabawa da kuma Doka sun yi ta annabci har yă zuwa kan Yohanna. 14In kuna niyya ku yarda da wannan, to, shi ne Iliya da dā ma zai zo. 15Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji.
16“Da me zan kwatanta wannan zamani? Suna kama da yara da suke zaune a kasuwa, suna kiran juna, suna cewa,
17“ ‘Mun yi muku busa,

18Gama Yohanna Mai Baftisma ya zo ba ya ciye-ciye, ba ya shaye-shaye, sai suka ce, ‘Ai, yana da aljani.’ 19Ɗan Mutum ya zo yana ciye-ciye, yana shaye-shaye, sai suka ce, ‘Ga mai haɗama da kuma mashayi, abokin masu karɓar haraji da masu zunubi.’ Amma akan tabbatar da hikima ta wurin ayyukanta.”
Kaiton biranen da ba su tuba ba
(Luka 7.18-35)
20Sai Yesu ya fara yin tir da biranen da aka yi yawancin ayyukansa na banmamaki, don ba su tuba ba. 21“Kaitonki, Korazin! Kaitonki, Betsaida! Da a ce ayyukan banmamakin da aka yi a cikinki ne aka yi a Taya da Sidon, da tuni sun tuba sanye da rigar makoki da toka. 22Amma ina gaya muku, za a fi jin tausayin Taya da Sidon a ranar shari’a, fiye da ku. 23Ke kuma Kafarnahum, za a ɗaga ki sama ne?

Da a ce ayyukan banmamakin da aka yi a cikinki ne a aka yi a Sodom, da tana nan har yă zuwa yau. 24Amma ina gaya miki, za a fi jin tausayin Sodom fiye da ke a ranar shari’a.”
Hutu domin waɗanda suka gaji
(Luka 10.13-15)
25A wannan lokaci sai Yesu ya ce, “Ina yabonka, Uba, Ubangijin sama da ƙasa, gama ka ɓoye waɗannan abubuwa ga masu hikima da masu ilimi, ka kuma bayyana su ga ƙananan yara. 26I, Uba, gama wannan shi ne abin da ka ji daɗin yi.
27“Dukan kome Ubana ya danƙa mini. Ba wanda ya san Ɗan sai dai Uban, ba kuma wanda ya san Uban, sai dai Ɗan da kuma waɗanda Ɗan ya so yă bayyana musu shi.
28“Ku zo gare ni, dukanku da kuka gaji kuke kuma fama da kaya, zan kuwa ba ku hutu. 29Ku ɗauki karkiyata a kanku, ku kuma yi koyi da ni, gama ni mai tawali’u ne marar girman kai, za ku kuwa sami hutu don rayukanku. 30Gama karkiyata mai sauƙi ce, kayana kuma marasa nauyi ne.”
1And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7¶ And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20¶ Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
