Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he left to go and teach and speak publicly in the nearby towns.
KADEKADEO Iesus lao kaimwisokela a masan ong sapwilim a tounpadak ekriamen, ap kotila sang wasa o, pwen kaukawewe o padapadak nan ar kanim akan.
2 While John was in prison he heard what the Messiah was doing, so he sent his disciples
A Ioaneis lao ronger nan imateng wiawian Kristus, ap poronela a tounpadak kai.
3 to ask on his behalf, “Are you the one we were expecting to come, or should we continue to look for someone else?”
Kalelapok re a: Ir me pan kotido, de sen auiaui amen?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go back and tell John what you hear and what you see.
Iesus kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Komail kowei kaireki Ioanes, me komail rong o kilang:
5 The blind can see, the crippled can walk, the lepers are healed, the deaf can hear, the dead are resurrected, and the poor hear the good news.
Me maskun akan kin kilang wasa, o me dangidang kan kin alu, o me tuketuk kan kin makeladar, o me salongepon kan kin rong wasa, o me melar akan kin maureda, o rongamau kin loloki ong me samama kan.
6 Blessed are those who don't reject me!”
O meid pai, me sota pan makar kin ia.
7 As they left, Jesus began to talk to the crowds about John. “What were you expecting to see when you went out into the desert? A reed tossed about by the wind?
Mepukat lao kokola, Iesus ap kotin tapiadar mamasani ong pokon o duen Ioanes: Da me komail koieila en kilang nan sap tan? Alek pot, me kin dueduälokki ang?
8 So what did you go to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? People dressed like that live in kings' palaces.
De da me komail koieila en kilang? Aramas amen nan likau muterok? Kilang, me kin likau kida likau muterok, kin mi nan im en nanmarki kan.
9 So what did you go to see then? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you he is much more than a prophet!
De da me komail koieila en kilang? Saukop amen? Ei I indai ong komail a laude sang saukop amen.
10 He's the one this Scripture was written about: ‘I'm sending my messenger on ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’
Pwe iei i, me intingidier: Kilang I kadarala mo’mui ai men kadar, me pan koko al mo’mui.
11 I tell you the truth, that among humanity there's no one greater than John the Baptist, but even the least important in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.
Melel I indai ong komail, sota me ipwidi sang ren li akan, me laude sang Ioanes saunpaptais. Ari so, me tikitik nan wein nanlang, iei me laude sang i.
12 From the time of John the Baptist up till now the kingdom of heaven continues to be under attack and violent people are trying to seize it by force.
A sang ni muein Ioanes saunpaptais kokodo lel met wein nanlang kokido eta manaman, ari me manaman akan kin koledi ong irail.
13 For all the prophets and the law spoke for God until John came.
Pwe saukop karos o kapung kokopadar lao lel Ioanes.
14 If you're prepared to believe it, he is Elijah, the one who was expected to come.
O ma komail men duki ong, nan iei Elias, me pan kodo.
15 Anybody with ears should be listening!
Me salong a mia, men rong, i en rong!
16 What shall I compare this generation to? It's like children sitting in the market places shouting to each other,
A da me I en karasai ong di wet? A ras ong seri kan, me kin momod nan wasan net akan o likelikwir ong kis arail,
17 ‘We played the flute for you and you didn't dance; we sang sad songs and you didn't cry.’
Indada: Kit kasang ong komail, a komail, sota kakalek; kit kauleki ong komail kaul en mamauk, a komail sota sangesang.
18 John didn't come feasting and drinking, so people say, ‘He's devil-possessed!’
Pwe Ioanes pwarado, ap sota kang o nim, a re kin inda: Nan tewil kin ti poa.
19 On the other hand the Son of man came and did feast and drink, and people say, ‘Look, he's greedy and drinks too much; he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by what it does…”
Nain aramas pwarado, mangamanga o nim, a re kin inda: Kilang, me kaped en manga o kamom sakau, kompoke pan saunopwei o me dipan akan, a lolekong o kin diarok kida na seri ko.
20 Then he began to reprimand the towns where he'd done most of his miracles because they had not repented.
A kotin tapiada kidaueda kanim akan, me a wiai onger manaman to to, aki re sota kalula:
21 “Shame on you, Korazin! Shame on you, Bethsaida! If the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which happened among you, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago.
Suedi ong uk Korasin! Suedi ong uk Petsaida! Pwe ma manaman akan, me wiaui ong uk er, wiauier ong Tirus o Sidon, nan melel re pan pitipit kalula nan tuk en likau o nan pas.
22 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than it will for you!
A I indai ong komail, a pan mongai ong Tirus o Sidon ni ran en kadeik sang komail.
23 And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be exalted to heaven? No, you'll go down to Hades! If the miracles had been performed in Sodom which happened among you, Sodom would still be here today. (Hadēs g86)
A koe Kapernaum, me paidar lel nanlang, pan pisikindi nan pweleko; pwe ma manaman akan, me wiaui ong uk er, wiauier ong Sodom, nan a pan mimieta lao lel ran wet. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than it will for you!”
A I indai ong komail, a pan mongai ong sap en Sodom ni ran mi kadeik sang koe.
25 Then Jesus prayed, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you've hidden these things from the clever and sophisticated. Instead you've revealed them to ordinary people.
Ni ansau ota Iesus kotin tapiadar masani: I kapinga komui Sam, Kaun pan lang o sappa, me komui okila mepukat sang me lolekong o koiok kan, ap kasale ong seri pwelel akan.
26 Yes, Father, you were pleased to do this!
Ei Sam ai, pwe iduen me komui kupukupura.
27 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one really understands the Son, except the Father, and no one really understands the Father, except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Meakaros muei ong ia er sang ren Sam ai, o sota amen, me asa sapwilim a Ol, pwe Sam eta, o sota amen, me asa Sam, pwe sapwilim a Ol eta, o me sapwilim a Ol pan kasale ong.
28 Come to me, all of you who struggle and who are burdened down. I will give you rest.
Komail karos, me pangadar o toutoular kodo re i I pan kamoleilei komail la.
29 Accept my yoke, and learn from me. For I am kind and I have a humble heart, and in me you will find the rest you need.
Ale ong komail ai iok, o padakki sang ia; pwe Ngai me opampap o karakarak melel, komail ari pan diarada kamol pan ngen omail.
30 For my yoke is gentle, and my burden is light.”
Pwe ai iok me mangai, o katoutou pai me marara.
