Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he removed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
5 Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
(that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?
But when they were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the assembly concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the waste to see? a reed that by the wind was shaken?
8 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft vestments? Behold, they who are softly clothed are in the house of kings.
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
And if not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? I tell you, Yes; and more than a prophet.
10 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women who greater than Juchanon the Baptizer: yet, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on it.
But from the days of Juchanon the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of the heavens by violence is taken, and the violent ones seize it.
13 For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
and say, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
18 For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
For Juchanon came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by her children.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, See a man a devourer, a wine-drinker, a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners. But justified is wisdom by her servants.
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.
saying, Woe to thee, Korazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.
22 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Kaphernachum, who unto heaven art exalted, unto Shiul shalt be brought down; for if in Sadum had been done those miracles which have been done in thee, it would have stood until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for thee.
25 At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
IN that time Jeshu answered and said, I praise thee, my Father, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou hast concealed these (things) from the wise and prudent, but hast revealed them unto little children.
26 Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal [him].
All things are delivered to me from my Father; and no man knoweth the Son but the Father; also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).
28 Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;
Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
