Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Jesu n den tundi o piiga n hoadikaliediba laa tundi ki gbeni, o den fii lankani ki suagi liiga, ki ban bangi U Tienu maama ki wangi o laabaalihamo ya dogi n ye laa gaanilindima nni.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Jan n den lo li kadidieli nni ki gbadi Kilisiti n tiendi yaala, o den soani o hoadikaaba wani Jesu kani ki buali o:
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
Naani a tie yua n den baa cua bi, bi ti da go baa guudi nitoa yo?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: Guani mani ki ban togidi Jan yin gba ki go nua yaala:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
A juama nuadi, a waba cuoni, a kpaada hanbidi, a woma gba, bi tinkpiba fii, a luoda mo gba o laabaalihamo.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Li pamanli ye leni min kaa tie yua yaa po tingbali bonla. Jan tondiba n den ñani Jesu kani ki ban caa yaa yogunu,
7 As these went their way, 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?
Jesu den maadi ku niligu Jan maama ki yedi: Yi den gedi mi fanpienma po ki baan la be? Yua n tie nani u faalu n liebi yaa ñinmuagu bi?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
To, yi nan den gedi ki baan la be? Yua n bobi ti tiahandi bi? Yaaba n yie ti tiahandi wani ye bi badiba diedi nne.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Yi nan den gedi ki baan la be? O sawalipualo bi? Yeni de, ama n waani yi ke yi gedi ki ban la yua cie baa sawapualo.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Kelima li tie wani yaa po yo ke li diani ki yedi: Diid n soani n tondo a liiga. Ke wan hanbi a sanu.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
N waani yi i moamoani, pua n mali yua kuli, yua n cie Jan Batisi daa mala, ama yua mo n wa ki cie tanpoli diema nni, wani n yaba ki cie o.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Ki cili Jan Batisi yogunu ki pundi hali moala, bi niba koa tanpoli diema nni leni u paalu. U paalu danba mo diedi ma.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Bi sawalipuaba leni li balimaama kuli den pua sawali ki maadi U Tienu diema maama ki ban pundi hali Jan Batisi yogunu.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Yi ya bua ki tuo, wani n tie Elia yua n den baa cua yeni.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi, wan gbadi.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
N baa nandi moala na niba leni be? Bi tie nani yaa bila n kaa ki daaga nni ki maadi leni biyaba ki tua:
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
Ti piebi yipo mu yelimu, ke yii jeli ki ciaga. Ki yiini yipo yi kuyani, ke yi naa buuda.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Kelima Jan den cua, waa den di, waa den ñu mo, ke bi tua: O pia ki cicibiadiga.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
O Joa Bijua mo cua ki di ki go ñu, ke bi tua: Diidi, o tie jejiedo leni dañolo, ki go tie bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba kuli danli. Ama mi yanfuoma doagidi mi teginma mi tuona nni.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Lanwani Jesu den funi leni wan den tieni mi bancianma boncianla yaa dogi nni, kelima laa dogi niba naa den lebidi bi yama. O den yedi:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Fala baa leni fini Kolasini dogu. Fala baa ye leni fini Betisayida dogu. Kelima yaa bancianma n tieni a niinni ne ya den tieni Tili leni Sidoni dogi nni, bi den baa la li paboanli tiadi, ki wuli mi fantanpienma bik yula po, ki doagidi ke bi lebidi bi yama hali yogu.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Lani yaa po n yedi yi, ti buudi daali, Tili leni Sidoni dogi ya fala kan yaa bia ki pundi yi yaa fala.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Fini Kapenayuma dogu moko, a tama ke a baa fiini a yuli hali tanpoli bi? Kalam, bi baa jiini a hali bi tinkpiba diema nni, kelima ya bancianma n den tieni a niinni ya den tieni Sodoma dogu nni, u bi baa ye hali dinla. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Li tie lani yaa po yo ke n yedi a, ti buudi daali Sodoma ya fala kan yaa bia ki pundi a yaa fala.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Lanyogunu Jesu den jaandi ki yedi: N Baa, fini yua n tie tanpoli leni ki tinga kuli Diedo, n pagi a kelima a doagini li naa bonla bi yanfodanba leni bi nunfandanba kuli po, ki doagidi la yaaba n tie a biwaala yaa po.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Yeni de, n Baa, n pagi a kelima li den mani a po ke a tieni yeni.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
N Baa puni nni li bonla kuli bali. Oba kuli ki bani Bijua, li yaa tie Baa yaaka, oba kuli mo ki bani Baa, li yaa tie Bijua, leni wani Bijua n bua ki doagidi o yua yaa po yaaka.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Cua mani n kani, yinba yaaba n tugi a tugikpiaga ki coagi kuli, n baa pa yi mi fuodima.
29 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.
La mani n naakpakpaadi-daagu, ki ga n bangima, keliman dingi ki pia li yumiinli, yeni yi baa baa mi fuodima yi naani po.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Kelima n naakpakpaadi-daagu faali, n tugili mo yua.
