Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished giving directions to his twelve Disciples, he left that place in order to teach and preach in their towns.
Axüisawe xaleinghngih a jah mtheh käna, mlüh kce hea ngthu pyen hü khaia Jesuh citki.
2 Now John had heard in prison what the Christ was doing, and he sent a message by his disciples,
Baptican Johan thawngim üngka naw Jesuha pawhmsahe a jah ngjak üng hnukläk nghngih Khritawa veia a jah tüih.
3 and asked – ‘Are you “the coming one,” or are we to look for someone else?’
Acun xawi naw Jesuh veia, “Johan naw law khai a pyen cen nang mä? Am ani üng akce kami na äp khai aw” ti lü ani kthäh.
4 The answer of Jesus to the question was – ‘Go and report to John what you hear and see –
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nghlat be ni lü nani hmuh ja nani ngjake naküt Johan üng va mtheh be nia” a ti.
5 the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead, too, are raised to life, and the good news is told to the poor.
“Amikmüe naw hmuh be u lü, akxoe pi cit be thei ve u, mnehkse mnehkie daw be ve u, a nghnga kpange naw ngja be ve u, akthihe tho law be u lü, thangkdaw pi msih mpyaki he üng jah mtheh päng ve u.
6 Blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.’
Keia phäha a mlung am uplatsaki ta a josenki ni” ti lü a pyen.
7 While John’s disciples were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John,
Johana axüisaw he ami ceh be üng Jesuh naw Johana mawng khyangpäe üng jah mtheh lü, “Johana veia khawkhyawng khawa nami ceh üng, i hmu khaia ni nami ceh? Khawkhi naw a ksün khuhnah bükteng khaia mä nami ceh?
8 ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man richly dressed? Why, those who wear rich things are to be found in the courts of kings!
“I bükteng khaia ja nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisaki bükteng khaia mä nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisakie cun Sangpuxangea ima ni ami ve khawi.
9 What, then, did you go for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
“Na mtheh ua, I teng khaia ni nami ceh? Sahma mä? Ä, ning jah mtheh veng, sahmaa pi kyäp bawki ve ve.
10 This is the man of whom scripture says – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.”
“Ahina mawng ni cangcim üng ng'yu lü, “Pamhnam naw, na maa ka ngsä na lam pyang khai ka tüih law khai.
11 I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nghngicim naküt üng Baptican Johana kthaka daw bawki u am ve. Acunüngpi khankhawa veki akdik säih cun Johana kthaka daw bawki ni.
12 From the time of John the Baptist to this very hour, the kingdom of heaven has been taken by force, and people using force have been seizing it.
Baptican Johana a ngthu pyen üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa khankhaw naw tuknak khameiki, ngtuatkia khyang ksee naw khaw ami yah vaia kthanakie.
13 For the teaching of all the prophets and of the Law continued until the time of John;
Pamhnama sahma he naküt ja Mosia thume naw Johana a ve vei cäpa Pamhnama Khawa mawng cun pyenkie.
14 and – if you are ready to accept it – John is himself the Elijah who was destined to come.
Ami pyen nami jum hlü üng, Johan cun law khaia ami na pyen khawi Elijaha kyaki.
15 If you have ears, listen.
A nghnga veki naw ngja se.
16 But to what will I compare the present generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-places and calling out to their playmates –
Acunsepi atuh khyang he hin i am ni ka jah mtumtäng kawm? Ahin he cun hnasen lumeikie ami püi khü u lü,
17 We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not mourned.
Pülün ning jah tum pe ngü se am nami nglamkie, yawk ng’äi mcuk ngü sepi am mbawikyap uki.
18 For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, people said “He has a demon in him”;
Johan a law üng am ei aw se, “Khyang naküt naw khawyaia venak” ami ti.
19 and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying “Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!” And yet wisdom is vindicated by her actions.’
Khyanga Capa law lü ei aw se khyang naküt naw, “Teng ua, meng lü capyittui aw ve, akhawn kawke ja khyangkaea püi hin” ami ti. “Acunüng pi ksinghmatnak cun a bilawh üng ngsingki” ti lü a jah mtheh.
20 Then Jesus began to reproach the towns in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented,
Acunüng Jesuh naw müncanksee aktunga a pawhnaka mlühe cun am ami ngjuta phäha a jah ksenak.
21 ‘Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“Korazin mlüh aw na jo se ve, Bethsaida mlüh aw na jo se ve. Isetiüng ta, nangni üng mdana mäiha müncanksee hin Turah ja Sidon mlüha mdang vai sü ta, ahlana va kpyawnkse ngbung u lü, mput awt u lü ngjut päng khaie sü.
22 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng Turah ja Sidon mlüh xawi cun nangnia kthaka Pamhnam naw jah mpyenei khai.
23 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been standing to this day. (Hadēs g86)
Nang Kapenawm mlüh pi, namät naw namät khankhaw cäpa na mhlünmtaiei hlüki aw? Mulaia ning khyakin vai. Nang üng mdana mäiha Sodom mlüh üng müncanksee jah mdan vai sü üng ta tuh vei cäpa ve ham khai sü. (Hadēs g86)
24 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Sodom will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.’
Ka ning jah mthehki, “Ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng nanga kthaka Sodom mlüh üng Pamhnama mpyeneinak däm khai,” a ti.
25 At that same time Jesus uttered the words, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike!
Jesuh naw pyen lü, “Ka pa, khawmdek ja khankhawa Bawipa aw! Khyang ktheme üng jah thup lü a mlung mhnemki hnasena mäihe üng na jah mhnüha phäh na ngming ka mküiki.
26 Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
Ä, ka pa aw, ahin cun na ngjak hlüa kyaki ni.
27 Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone fully know the Son, except the Father, or fully know the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.
Ka pa naw avan a na pet päng. U naw a capa am ksing, ka pa däk naw ni a ksing. Ka pa pi u naw am ksing, a capa däk naw ni a ksing. Acun ja a capa naw a mtheh däk naw ni a ksing.
28 Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest!
A phüih yüh lü bawngbaiki naküt ka veia law ua, ka ning jah hüieisak khai.
29 Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls;
Ka kawhcung kawt ua. Ngmüimkhya lama ka mlungmthin hniphnawi lü nemkia kyase, ka veia ngtheingthang law ua. Acunüng, nami ngmüimkhyaa hüieinak nami yah khai.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’
“Isetiüng ta, ka ning jah pet vaia kawhcung cun jäi lü, nami khana ka mtaih vaia phüih pi hangki ni” a ti.
