Matiyu 11
1 Na Yesu wa malu uni nnono katwa me likure nan wabe kadura, a nya kikane cundu nanya Nigbiri udu ndursuzu nani tipinpin.
And 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.
2 Na Yuhana nlaza kilari licin, kata ka na Kristi dumun, a to nono katwa me kadura inung naba.
Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 aworo nani, can idi woroghe, “Fere ule na udin cinu udake, sa tiso nca nmong?”
and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
4 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Can idi belin Yuhana ku imon ilenge na ilanza iyene.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see.
5 Adu din sesu uyenju kiti, anan sali nabunu din cin, akutulu se ushinu, a turi din lanzu tutung, abi din fituzu nin lai, idin bellu anan sali nimon uliru ulau.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them;
6 Unan mariari ule na ase imon ntirzu liti ning ba.”
and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense.
7 Na ale anite nya libau mine, Yesu cizina ubelu ligonzine uliru litin Yuhana, “Inyaghari i do nyenje nanya kusho- ufunu nzunu nkpe myena?
As these were going away, 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?
8 Ani inyaghari inuzu ndin yenje ndas- unit na ashono imon tigowa? Nanere, ale na idin sho imon tigo sosin nilari Tigo.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses.
9 Sa nyaghari ido idi yene ndase- unan liru nin nu Kutelle? Eh nbelin minu tutun, ukatin unan liru nin nu Kutelle.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Ulengenere ame ule na iwa yertin litime, 'yenjen nma tu unan kadura ning nbun timuro mine, ulenge na ama ke udina ning nbun mine.'
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Nbelin minu kidegene, vat nale na kumat nwani, na warum duku na akatin Yuhana unan shintu nanit nyen ba. Vat nani unit ubene kilari tigo kitene kani katinghe.
Verily, I say to you, Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Unuzu nayirin Yuhana unan shintu nanit nmyen udak nene, kilari tigo kitene kani nneu nin fizu nayi, tutun anit anan fizu naye na bolu nin likara.
From the days of John the Immerser till now, the kingdom of heaven is taken by violence, and men of violence seize upon it eagerly.
13 Bara vat anan liru nin nu Kutelle nin duka wa tizu amoro alau udakin Yuhana.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John;
14 Andi tutung iyina userun nin, ulele amere Iliya, urika na awadi unan dak.
and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come.
15 Ame ulenge na adinin natuf nlanzu, na alanza.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Inyaghari nma batu ko kuje mun? Imasin nonoari navu nkasa, alenge nasa iso iyica atimine.
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
17 Inin woro, 'tidin wulsu fi fishira na udin yizunu ba. Tiyita tiyom ana ugila ba.'
and saying: We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have wailed for you, and you have not lamented.
18 Bara Yuhana wadak, na awadi nli nimonli a aso nmyen narau ba iworo, 'adi nin kugbergenu.'
For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon.
19 Gono Kutelle wa dak, nli nimonli nin so nmyen narau iworu, 'Yeneng unan su kileu kikan, nin shituzu nso, udondong nanan sesun gandu nan nanan kulapi!' Ama njijing nse ubunku bara kata me.”
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.
20 Yesu cizina ukpaduzu nigbiri nirika asuzu imon izikiki ku, bara iwa nari uni nati.
Then he began to reprove the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 “Ukaito fe Corazin! Ukaitofe Betsaida! Nfo katwa kadidya kane na nnasu kiti mine, nwansu Ntyra nin Sidon, iwa ni ati nworsu, icino alapi mine nanyan najasi nimon nin tong.
Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which have been clone in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Bara nani, uma katinu anan Sidon ku nin Tire liri nshara Kutelle.
But I say to you, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Anung u Kaparnahum, idin yenju ima ghatinu minu udu kitene kane? Na nanere ba, ima tultun minu udu ukul sa ligan. Bara andi Nsodom iwa su nita nididya nanga na ina su anung ku, uwa dutuku udak kitimone. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, that hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hades. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained till this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Uma yitu sheu ni nmyin Nsodom lirin shara nbun mine.
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Kubi kone, Yesu woro, “ndi rufi, Ucif, Cikilari unan kitene kani nin kutyin, bara una nyeshe ilenge imone kiti na jijin nin nanan yiru, tutung umini na pun kiti nalenge na iyiru ba, nafo ninono ni bebene.
At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
26 Aee Ucif, nanere una tifi mang nyenjufe.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 Vat nimon inani ununzu Ncif ning. Tutung na umong yiru Usaune ba se Ucife, ana umong yiru Ucife ba se Usaune, tutung nin lenge na Usaune nyina aduroghe ame.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
28 Dan kiti ning, vat anung ale na imin kutura kugetek, meng ma nimu ushinu.
Come to me, all you that are weary, and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Yaunang Kugbetu ning kiti mine imasu uyinnu kiti ning, bara ndi sheu nin kibinayi kimang, imanin se ushunu tilai mine.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
30 Bara kugbetu ning sheu a kutura ning di getek ba.”
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
