Matthai 11
1 Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek hlainit a uen te a khah vaengah, amamih kah khopuei rhoek ah thuituen ham neh hoe ham te te lamloh thoeih.
And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.
2 Te vaengah Khrih kah bibi boeih te Johan loh thongim khui ah a yaak tih a hnukbang rhoek te a tueih.
Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3 Te vaengah, “Namah ah naka pawk, a tloe a ka lamso eh?,” patoeng a ti nah.
To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
4 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pa uh.
And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:
5 Mikdael loh a hmuh tih aka khaem loh cet coeng. Hmaibae loh cing coeng, hnapang hnalol loh a yaak coeng. Aka duek khaw thoo tih khodaeng taengah olthangthen a phong coeng.
The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
6 U khaw kai kongah a khah pawt atah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.
And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
7 Amih boeih a caeh uh phoeiah Jesuh loh hlangping taengah Johan kawng te a tong tih, “Ba sawt ham nim khosoek khuila na caeh uh? Yilh loh a hlinghloek capu a?
And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
8 Tedae ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? a hnal la aka phuekhlaak hlang te nim? Himbai hnal aka bai ke manghai im ah om uh ke.
But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.
9 Ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? Tonghma a? Thuem, nangmih taengah kan thui, anih tah tonghma lakah olpuei ngai ta.
But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 ‘Nangmih hmai ah kamah kah puencawn ka tueih ke. Anih loh nangmih hmaiah na longpuei a rhoekbah ni,’ tila anih kawng ni ana daek.
This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
11 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Huta kah a cun khuiah tuinuem Johan lakah aka tanglue phoe pawh, tedae vaan ram kah a yit koek pataeng anih lakah a tanglue la om.
Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Tuinuem Johan tue lamloh tahae duela vaan ram te a ael thil tih, aka aelkung rhoek loh a poelyoe uh.
And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.
13 Johan duela tonghma rhoek neh olkhueng loh boeih a phong coeng.
For all the prophets and the law were in force till John.
14 Tedae doe hamla na ngaih uh koinih, halo hamla aka cai Elijah tah Johan coeng ni.
And if you are able to see it, this is Elijah who was to come.
15 Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
He who has ears, let him give ear.
16 Tedae hekah cadil he ba nen lae ka thuidoek lah eh? Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngol uh tih hlang tloe aka khue, aka thui camoe rhoek phek la om.
But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,
17 Nangmih hamla phavi ka tum uh akhaw na lam uh pawh. Hlo ka hlai akhaw na rhaengsae uh pawh.
We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.
18 Johan ha pawk tih a caak a ok pawt hatah, ‘Rhaithae a kaem a ti uh.
For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.
19 Hlang capa ha pawk tih a caak a ok hatah, ' Carhut neh yumi hlang la ke, mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a puei a po,’ a ti uh. Tedae cueihnah khaw a khoboe long ni a tang sak,” a ti nah.
The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.
20 Te phoeiah a thaomnah a kumngai a tueng sak kho rhoek te a yut uh pawt dongah ol a tong tih,
Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.
21 Anunae Khorazim nang te. Anunae Bethsaida nang te, Nangmih taeng ah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Tyre neh Sidon ah ka tueng sak koinih tlamhni, hmaiphu neh yut uh dingrhae pawn ni.
Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.
22 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Tyre neh Sidon tah nangmih lakah a phoeng la om ni.
But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.
23 Kapernaum nang khaw, vaan duela na pomsang uh pawt nim? Saelkhui duela na suntla bitni. Nangmih taengah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Sodom ah tueng sak koinih, tihnin duela te om suidae. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Sodom kho tah nang lakah a phoeng la om ni,” tila a toel.
But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.
25 Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “A pa, vaan neh diklai kah Boeipa nang kan uem tangkik, he rhoek he hlangcueih neh lungming taeng lamkah loh na thuh tih cahmang rhoek taengah na pumphoe coeng.
At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.
26 Ue apa na hmaiah kolonah la a om tangloeng dongah ni.
Yes, Father, for so it was pleasing in your eyes.
27 A pa loh kai he a cungkuem la m'paek coeng. Te dongah pa pawt koinih capa te a ming moenih. Capa pawt koinih pakhat long khaw pa te a ming moenih. Tedae u khaw a ngaih atah capa loh a pumphoe pah coeng.
All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
28 Hnorhih rhoek neh thakthae rhoek boeih te kai taengla halo lah, kai loh nangmih te kan duem sak ni.
Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.
29 Ka hnamkun he na pum dongah phuei uh lamtah kamah taeng lamkah he cang uh. Muelhtuet neh thinko tlayae la ka om dongah na hinglu ham duemnah na hmuh uh ni.
Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;
30 Kai kah hnamkun tah kodam coeng tih ka hnophueih loh a yanghoep la om,” a ti.
For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.
