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.
When Jesus had concluded His instructions to His twelve disciples, He left in order to teach and to proclaim His Message in the neighbouring towns.
2 Na Yuhana nlaza kilari licin, kata ka na Kristi dumun, a to nono katwa me kadura inung naba.
Now John had heard in prison about the Christ's doings, and he sent some of his disciples to inquire:
3 aworo nani, can idi woroghe, “Fere ule na udin cinu udake, sa tiso nca nmong?”
"Are you the Coming One, or is it a different person that we are to expect?"
4 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Can idi belin Yuhana ku imon ilenge na ilanza iyene.
"Go and report to John what you see and hear," replied Jesus;
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.
"blind eyes receive sight, and cripples walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf ears hear; the dead are raised to life, and the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them;
6 Unan mariari ule na ase imon ntirzu liti ning ba.”
and blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
7 Na ale anite nya libau mine, Yesu cizina ubelu ligonzine uliru litin Yuhana, “Inyaghari i do nyenje nanya kusho- ufunu nzunu nkpe myena?
When the messengers had taken their leave, Jesus proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving 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.
But what did you go out to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Those who wear luxurious clothes are to be 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.
But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far 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 he of whom it is written, "'See I am sending My messenger before Thy face, and he will make Thy road ready 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.
"I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens 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.
But from the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of the Heavens has been suffering violent assault, and the violent have been seizing it by force.
13 Bara vat anan liru nin nu Kutelle nin duka wa tizu amoro alau udakin Yuhana.
For all the Prophets and the Law taught until 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 the Elijah who was to come.
15 Ame ulenge na adinin natuf nlanzu, na alanza.
Listen, every one who has ears!
16 Inyaghari nma batu ko kuje mun? Imasin nonoari navu nkasa, alenge nasa iso iyica atimine.
"But to what shall I compare the present generation? It is like children sitting in the open places, who call to their playmates.
17 Inin woro, 'tidin wulsu fi fishira na udin yizunu ba. Tiyita tiyom ana ugila ba.'
"'We have played the flute to you,' they say, 'and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not beaten your breasts.'
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 exclaim, 'See this man! --given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions."
20 Yesu cizina ukpaduzu nigbiri nirika asuzu imon izikiki ku, bara iwa nari uni nati.
Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done--because they had not repented.
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!" He cried. "Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.
22 Bara nani, uma katinu anan Sidon ku nin Tire liri nshara Kutelle.
Only I tell you that it will be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of Judgement 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, shalt thou be exalted even to Heaven? Even to Hades shalt thou descend. For had the mighty works been done in Sodom which have been done in thee, it would have remained until now. (Hadēs g86)
24 Uma yitu sheu ni nmyin Nsodom lirin shara nbun mine.
Only I tell you all, that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of Judgement 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.
About that time Jesus exclaimed, "I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.
26 Aee Ucif, nanere una tifi mang nyenjufe.
Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.
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 handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all 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 toiling and burdened ones, 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 lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 Bara kugbetu ning sheu a kutura ning di getek ba.”
For it is good to bear my yoke, and my burden is light."
