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.
After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Na Yuhana nlaza kilari licin, kata ka na Kristi dumun, a to nono katwa me kadura inung naba.
Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
3 aworo nani, can idi woroghe, “Fere ule na udin cinu udake, sa tiso nca nmong?”
to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Can idi belin Yuhana ku imon ilenge na ilanza iyene.
Jesus replied, “Go back and report to 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 sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
6 Unan mariari ule na ase imon ntirzu liti ning ba.”
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
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 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?
8 Ani inyaghari inuzu ndin yenje ndas- unit na ashono imon tigowa? Nanere, ale na idin sho imon tigo sosin nilari Tigo.
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.
9 Sa nyaghari ido idi yene ndase- unan liru nin nu Kutelle? Eh nbelin minu tutun, ukatin unan liru nin nu Kutelle.
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell 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.'
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.’
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.
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.
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 Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
13 Bara vat anan liru nin nu Kutelle nin duka wa tizu amoro alau udakin Yuhana.
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 Andi tutung iyina userun nin, ulele amere Iliya, urika na awadi unan dak.
And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 Ame ulenge na adinin natuf nlanzu, na alanza.
He who has ears, let him hear.
16 Inyaghari nma batu ko kuje mun? Imasin nonoari navu nkasa, alenge nasa iso iyica atimine.
To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 Inin woro, 'tidin wulsu fi fishira na udin yizunu ba. Tiyita tiyom ana ugila ba.'
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
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 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.”
20 Yesu cizina ukpaduzu nigbiri nirika asuzu imon izikiki ku, bara iwa nari uni nati.
Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, 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.
“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.
22 Bara nani, uma katinu anan Sidon ku nin Tire liri nshara Kutelle.
But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on 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 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. (Hadēs g86)
24 Uma yitu sheu ni nmyin Nsodom lirin shara nbun mine.
But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
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 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.
26 Aee Ucif, nanere una tifi mang nyenjufe.
Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your 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 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.
28 Dan kiti ning, vat anung ale na imin kutura kugetek, meng ma nimu ushinu.
Come to Me, all you who are weary and 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 gentle and humble in heart, and you will 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.”
