Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Jesu mah a hnukbang hatlai hnettonawk khaeah lokthuih pacoengah, kami to patuk moe, lokthuih hanah, to ahmuen hoiah tacawt moe, nihcae ih vangpuinawk bangah caeh.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Jesu toksakhaihnawk Johan mah thongim thung hoiah thaih naah, a hnukbang kami hnetto patoeh moe,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
Anih khaeah, Nang loe kang zing o ih angzo han koi kami to boeh maw, to tih ai boeh loe kalah kami to ka zing o han vop maw? tiah a duengsak.
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Jesu mah nihnik khaeah, Amlaem hoi let ah loe, na thaih moe, na hnuk hoi ih hmuen to Johan khaeah thui pae hoih, tiah a naa:
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.
mikmaengnawk loe mik amtueng o boeh, khokkhaemnawk loe caeh o thai boeh, ngansae man kaminawk loe ngantui o boeh, naa pang kaminawk loe lok thaih o boeh, kadueh kaminawk loe angthawk o boeh moe, amtang kaminawk mah doeh taphong ih kahoih tamthanglok to thaih o boeh.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Kai pongah palungboeng ai kami loe tahamhoih, tiah pathim pae.
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?
Nihnik caeh hoi pacoengah, Jesu mah rangpuinawk khaeah, Tih khet han ih maw praezaek ah na caeh o? Takhi mah hmuh naah anghuen phrokung khet han ih maw? tiah Johan kawng pongah lok a thuih pae.
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 tih ai boeh loe tih hnuk han ih maw na caeh o? Kahoih khukbuen kanaem hoi amthoep kami khet han ih maw? Khenah, kahoih khukbuen kanaem angkhuk kami loe, siangpahrang im ah ni oh.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Toe nangcae loe tih khet han ih maw na caeh o? Tahmaa khet han ih maw? Ue, tahmaa maeto pongah len kue, tiah kang thuih o.
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.’
Khenah, Nangcae hmaa ah tamthang sin kami to ka patoeh han, anih mah na hma ah loklam to paroep tih, tiah anih kawng tarik ih oh.
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.
Loktang kang thuih o, Nongpata mah tapen ih kami thungah tuinuemkung Johan pong kalen kue kami om vai ai vop: toe van prae ah kathoeng koek loe Johan pongah len kue.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Van prae loe tuinuemkung Johan oh nathuem hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to paroeai raihaih tongh, thacak kaminawk mah tha patohhaih hoiah a lomh o.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Tahmaanawk ih lok hoi kaalok boih loe Johan karoek to ni taphong o.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Tapom han na koeh o nahaeloe, anih loe angzo han koi Elijah boeh ni.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Thaihaih naa tawn kami loe thaih nasoe.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Hae dung ih kaminawk loe tih hoiah maw ka patah han? Hmuen zawhhaih ahmuen ah anghnu nawktanawk mah, angmacae ampuinawk khaeah,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned for you, and you did not lament.’
nangcae han tamoi kang uengh o thuih, toe na hnaw o ai; qahhaih lok hoiah kang oi o haih cadoeh, palung na sae o ai, tiah thuih ih lok hoiah ni nang hmong o.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Johan loe angzoh moe, nae ai, caa ai ah oh, to naah Anih loe taqawk tawnh, tiah a naa o.
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.”
Kami Capa angzoh moe, a caak a naek naah, nihcae mah, khenah, caak amoeh kami, misurtui amoeh kami, tamut cong kaminawk hoi kazae kaminawk ih ampui, tiah a naa o. Toe palunghahaih loe a caanawk mah amtuengsak.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
To pacoengah paroeai dawnrai hmuennawk to a sak, toe vangpuinawk loe dawnpakhuemhaih tawn o ai pongah a zoeh.
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.
Korazin, khosak na bing! Bethsaida, khosak na bing! Nanghnik khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuen to, Tura hoi Sidon vangpui ah ka sak nahaeloe, canghnii ah ni maiphu pongah anghnu o ueloe, buri angkhuk hoiah dawnpakhuem o tih boeh.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Toe kang thuih o, lokcaekhaih niah nanghnik loe Tura hoi Sidon mah tong ih hmuen pongah nung kue tih.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades (Hadēs g86). For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
To pacoengah nang, Kapernuam, van khoek to amkoeh tahang, hell ah ni na krah tathuk tih: nang khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to Sodom ah sak soe nahaeloe, vaihni ni khoek to om vop tih. (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.”
Toe kang thuih o, lokcaekhaih niah nang loe Sodom mah tong ih hmuen pongah nung kue tih, tiah a naa.
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.
Jesu mah, Aw Pa, long hoi van Angraeng, hae hmuennawk hae palungha kaminawk, kathoem kaminawk khae hoi na hawk moe, nawktanawk khaeah nam tuengsak pongah, nang kang pakoeh, tiah thuih.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Ue, Pa, hae loe na mik hnukah kahoih hmuen ah oh.
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.
Pa mah hmuennawk boih kai khaeah paek boeh: Pa ai ah loe mi mah doeh Capa to panoek ai; Capa hoi Capa mah amtueng thuih han ih kami mah khue ai ah loe, mi mah doeh Ampa to panoek ai.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Nangcae hmuenzit phaw kami hoi patangkhang kaminawk, kai khaeah angzo oh, anghakhaih kang paek o han.
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.
Kai ih hnam hae phaw oh, kai khaeah amtuk oh; kai loe poeknaem moe, tuinom ka tawnh; to pongah palung monghaih na hnu o tih.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Kai ih hnam loe phawh han zoi, ka phawh ih hmuen doeh anghoep, tiah a naa.
