< Matthew 11 >

1 When Jesus had finished instructing [us] twelve disciples [about what we should do, he sent us to various Israelite towns]. Then he went to teach and preach in [other Israelite] towns [in that area].
ଜିସୁ ବାର୍‌ଟା ସିସ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ସିକାଇ କରି କଇ ପାଟାଇ ସାର୍‌ଲା ପଚେ, ସେ ଜାଗା ଚାଡିକରି ଲଗେ ରଇଲା ଗଡ୍‌ମନର୍‍ ଲକ୍‍ମନ୍‍କେ ଜାଇ ସିକାଇଲା ଆରି ମାପ୍‌ରୁର୍‌ କାତା ସୁନାଇବାର୍‌ ଦାର୍‌ଲା ।
2 While John [the Baptizer] was in prison, he heard what [Jesus, the man whom he thought was] the Messiah, was doing. So he sent [some of] his disciples [to him] in order
ସେ ବେଲା ଡୁବନ୍‌ଦେଉ ଜଅନ୍‌ ବନ୍ଦିଗରେ ରଇଲା । ଜିସୁ ଜନ୍‌ କାମ୍‌ମନ୍‌ ସବୁ କର୍‌ତେ ରଇଲା, ତାର୍‌ କବର୍‌ ସୁନି ତାର୍‌ କେତେଟା ସିସ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ଜିସୁର୍‌ ଲଗେ ପାଟାଇଲା ।
3 to ask him, “Are you the [Messiah] who [the prophets prophesied] would come, or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
ସେମନ୍‌ ଜାଇ ଜିସୁକେ ପାଚାର୍‌ଲାଇ, “ଜନ୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ ଆଇସି ବଲି ଜଅନ୍‌ କଇରଇଲା, ସେ ଲକ୍‌ ତମେ କି? ନଇଲେ, ଆମେ ଆରି ବିନ୍‌ ଲକ୍‌କେ ଜାଗ୍‌ବୁ କି?”
4 [After they asked] Jesus [that question], he answered them, “Go back and report to John what you hear [me telling people] and what you see [me doing].
ଜିସୁ ସେମନ୍‌କେ କଇଲା, “ତମେ ବାଉଡି ଜାଇ ଜନ୍‌ଟା ସବୁ ଦେକ୍‌ଲାସ୍‌ ଆରି ସୁନ୍‌ଲାସ୍‌, ଜଅନ୍‌କେ କଇଦିଆସ୍‌ ।
5 I [am enabling] blind people to see and lame people to walk. I [am] healing [people] who have leprosy. I [am enabling] deaf people to hear and dead people to become alive again. I [am] telling poor people [God’s] good message.
କାଣାମନ୍‌ ଦେକିପାର୍‌ଲାଇନି, ଚଟାମନ୍‌ ଇଣ୍ଡ୍‌ଲାଇନି, ବଡ୍‌ ରଗିମନ୍‌ ନିମାନ୍‌ ଅଇଲାଇନି, ବଇରାମନ୍‌ ସୁନ୍‌ଲାଇନି, ମଲା ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌ ଜିବନ୍‌ ଅଇଲାଇନି ଆରି ଗରିବ୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନର୍‌ ଲଗେ ନିମାନ୍‌ କବର୍‍ କେଟ୍‌ଲାନି ।
6 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with people who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expected the Messiah to do].”
ଜେ ମର୍‌ ବିସଇ ନେଇକରି, ‘ସେ କି ନଏଁ ଆଲେ’ ବଲି ନ ବାବେ, ସେ କେଡେ ନିକ କରମର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ । ଜେ ମକେ ନାମ୍‌ସି ଆରି ମକେ ସବୁ ବେଲା ବିସ୍‌ବାସ୍‌ କର୍‌ସି ତାକେ ପର୍‌ମେସର୍‌ ଆସିର୍‌ବାଦ୍‌ କର୍‌ସି ।” ବଲି କଇଲା ।
7 When John’s disciples had gone away, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John]. ([You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed his message, like] a reed that is blown {blows} back and forth in the wind [MET]!/Did you go there [to listen to a man whose message changes continually like] long grass that is blown {blows} back and forth in the wind [changes its direction]?) [MET, RHQ]
ଜଅନର୍‌ ସିସ୍‌ମନ୍‌ ବାଉଡି ଗାଲାବେଲେ ଜିସୁ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ଜଅନର୍‌ ବିସଇ କଇଲା, ତମେ ଜଅନ୍‌କେ ଦେକ୍‌ବାକେ ଜେଡେବଲ୍‌ ମରୁବାଲିବୁଏଁ ଜାଇରଇଲାସ୍‌, କାଇଟା ଦେକ୍‌ବାକେ ଆସା କରିରଇଲାସ୍‌? ପବନ୍‌ ମାର୍‌ଲେ ଜୁଲ୍‌ବା ଗାଁସ୍‌ ପତର୍‌?
8 Then what [kind of person] did you go [there] to see [RHQ]? ([You did not go there to see] a man who was wearing expensive clothes.[/Did you go there to see] a man who was wearing expensive clothes?) [RHQ] [No! You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes reside in kings’ palaces [and not in desolate areas].
କାକେ ଦେକ୍‌ବାକେ ଜାଇ ରଇଲାସ୍‌? କାଇ ସୁନ୍ଦର୍‌ ବସ୍‌ତର୍‌ ପିନ୍ଦିରଇବା ଲକ୍‌କେ ଦେକ୍‌ବୁ ବଲି ଜାଇ ରଇଲାସ୍‌ କି? ସେନ୍ତି ବସ୍‌ତର୍‌ ପିନ୍ଦ୍‌ବା ଲକ୍‌ ରାଜାର୍‌ ଗରେ ରଇବାଇ ।
9 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see [RHQ]? [Did you go there] [RHQ] [to see John because he was] (a prophet/a person who speaks what God tells him to say)? Yes! But I will tell you that [John] is more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
ମକେ କୁଆ, କାଇଟା ଦେକ୍‌ବାକେ ଜାଇ ରଇଲାସ୍‌? ଗଟେକ୍‌ ବବିସତ୍‌ବକ୍‌ତାକେ ଦେକ୍‌ବୁ ବଲିକରି କି? ସେଟା ତ ସତ୍‌, ମାତର୍‌ ଅବ୍‍କା ବବିସତ୍‌ବକ୍‌ତା ଟାନେଅନି ଗଟେକ୍‌ ଅଦିକ୍‌ ବଡ୍‌ ଲକ୍‌କେ ବେଟ୍‍ପାଇଆଚାସ୍‌ ।
10 He is the one [to whom God was referring when he said to the Messiah these words] that are written {about whom [the prophet Malachi] wrote} [in the Scriptures: ] Listen! I am going to send my messenger [to go] before you [SYN] to prepare [the people] [MET] for your coming.
୧୦କାଇକେ ବଇଲେ ଏ ଜଅନର୍‌ ବିସଇ ସାସ୍‌ତରେ ଲେକାଅଇଲା ଆଚେ । ପର୍‌ମେସର୍‌ କଇଲା, “ତମର୍‌ ପାଇ ବାଟ୍‌ ତିଆର୍‌ କର୍‌ବାକେ ମୁଇ ପର୍‌ତୁମ୍‌ ମର୍‌ ଦୁତ୍‌କେ ପାଟାଇବି ।”
11 Note this: Of all the people who have ever lived, [God does not consider] that any of them are greater than John the Baptizer. However, [God considers that all] those people who have let God rule their lives are greater than [John, even if they are insignificant people].

12 From the time that John the Baptizer [preached] until now, [other people] have violently attacked the people who have [allowed] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives, and they have suffered (OR, people have very eagerly been asking God to take control of their lives, OR, Israelite people [who have thought that I would become their king] have been extremely eager to be included in my kingdom) (OR, have been violently attacked and made to suffer).

14 [Even though most of you are unwilling to believe what I am saying, I will tell this truth to] anyone who is willing to believe [it]: John is [the man who is like] Elijah [MET]. He is the one who [one of the prophets said] would come [in order to prepare the people to welcome the Messiah].

15 If you want to understand this, you must think [carefully] [MTY] [about what I have just said] [MTY].”
୧୫ଜାକେ କାନ୍‌ଆଚେ, ସେ ସୁନ ।
16 “(I will illustrate what [you] people who have heard what John [the Baptizer] and I have taught are like./Do you know what [you] people who have heard what John and I have taught are like?) [RHQ] You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of the children] are calling to the others, saying,

17 ‘We played [happy music] on the flute for you, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry [MET]!’

18 [Similarly, you are dissatisfied with both John and me]! When John came [and preached to you], he did not eat [good food] and did not drink [wine, like most people do]. But you [rejected him] saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’

19 [In contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same] food and drink [wine as other people do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’ But people [who really think about] what [John] and I have done will realize that what we do is truly wise [MET, PRS].”

20 [The people who lived in] the towns [MTY] [in the area where Jesus was saw him] perform many miracles. But they did not turn away from their sinful behavior. So Jesus began to reproach them [by saying to them],
୨୦ଜନ୍‌ ଗଡ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ଜିସୁ ତାର୍‌ ବେସି କାବାଅଇଜିବା କାମ୍‌ମନ୍‌ କରିରଇଲା, ସେ ଗଡର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌ ନିଜେ କରିରଇବା ପାପ୍‌ଲାଗି ମନ୍‌ ନ ବାଦ୍‌ଲାଇଲାଟା ଦେକି, ଜିସୁ ସେ ଗଡର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ନିନ୍ଦା କରି କଇଲା,
21 “You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell! [I] did great miracles in your [cities, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in [the ancient cities of] Tyre and Sidon, the [wicked people who lived there] long ago would have sat in ashes, wearing coarse cloth [to show that they were sorry for their sins]. (questioned)
୨୧“ଏ କରାଜିନର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌, ତମେ କେଡେ ଇନସ୍‌ତା ଅଇ ଡଣ୍ଡ୍‌ ପାଇସା! ଏ ବେତ୍‌ସାଇଦାର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌, ତମର୍‌ ଦସା ମିସା ସେନ୍ତିସେ । ତମର୍‌ ବିତରେ ଜନ୍‌ କାବାଅଇଜିବା କାମ୍‌ମନ୍‌ କରାଅଇଲାଆଚେ, ସେଟା ସବୁ ଜଦି ମୁଇ ସର ଆରି ସିଦନ୍‌ ଗଡେ କରି ରଇଲେ, ସେ ଗଡର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌ ପାପେଅନି ବାଅଡ୍‌ଲୁ ବଲି ଦେକାଇବାକେ ଗାଗ୍‌ଡେ ଚାର୍‌ ଡାଲିଅଇ, ବାସ୍‌ତା ପିନ୍ଦିକରି ମନ୍‌ ବାଦ୍‌ଲାଇତାଇ ।”
22 So note this: [God will punish the wicked people who lived in the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [MTY], but he will punish you even more severely on the final day when he judges [all people].
୨୨“ମୁଇ ତମ୍‌କେ ସତ୍‌ କଇଲିନି, ପର୍‌ମେସରର୍‌ ବିଚାରର୍‌ ଦିନେ ତମର୍‌ତେଇଅନି ସର୍‌ ଆରି ସିଦନ୍‌ ଗଡର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ସେ ଅଦିକ୍‌ ଦୟା ଦେକାଇସି ।”
23 [also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city] [MTY]. (Do not [think that] you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you think that you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs g86)
୨୩ଏ କପର୍‌ନାଉମର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌! ତମେ କାଇ ନିଜେ ସର୍‌ଗେ ଜିବାକେ ଚେସ୍‌ଟା କଲାସ୍‌ନି? ତମେ ନର୍‌କେ ପିଙ୍ଗା ଅଇସି । ତମର୍‌ ବିତ୍‌ରେ ମୁଇ ଜନ୍‌ କାବାଅଇଜିବା କାମ୍‌ମନ୍‌ କରିରଇଲି, ସେଟା ଜଦି ସଦମ୍‌ ଗଡେ କରି ରଇଲେ, ସେ ଗଡ୍‌ ଆଜିକେ ଜାକ ରଇତା । (Hadēs g86)
24 So note this: [God] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom [city] [MTY], but he will punish you [even] more severely on the final day when [he] judges [all people].”
୨୪“ମୁଇ ତମ୍‌କେ ସତ୍‌ କାତା କଇଲିନି, ପର୍‌ମେସରର୍‌ ବିଚାର୍‌ନା ଦିନେ ତମର୍‌ତେଇଅନି ସଦମର୍‌ ଲକ୍‌ମନ୍‌କେ ସେ ଅଦିକ୍‌ ଦୟା ଦେକାଇସି ।”
25 At that time Jesus prayed, “Father, you rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth. I thank you that you have prevented [people who think that they] are wise [IRO] because they are well-educated, from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily as] little children [MET] [do].
୨୫ଜିସୁ ସେବେଲାଇ ପାର୍‌ତନା କରି କଇଲା, “ଏ ବାବା, ତମେ ସରଗ୍‌ ଆରି ମଚ୍‌ପୁରର୍‌ ମାପ୍‌ରୁ । ଏ ସବୁ ବିସଇ ସିକ୍‍ଲା ଲକ୍‍ ଆରି ଗିଆନି ରଇବା ଲକର୍‌ତେଇଅନି ଲୁଚାଇ ସଙ୍ଗଇ, ନସିକ୍‍ଲା ଲକ୍‌ମନର୍‌ ତେଇ ଜାନାଇ ଆଚୁସ୍‌ ବଲି ମୁଇ ତମ୍‌କେ ଦନିଅବାଦ୍‌ ଦେଲିନି ।

୨୬ଉଁ ବାବା, ତମର୍‌ ମନ୍‍ କଲା ଇସାବେ ଏ ସବୁ ଗଟ୍‌ଲାନି ।”
27 [Then Jesus said to the people there who wanted him to teach them], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all the things [that I need to know in order to do my work]. Only my Father knows [who] I [really am]. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know [what God] my Father [is like].

It will not be difficult for you to do the things that I ask you to do for me [DOU]. Because I am gentle and humble [DOU], accept what I teach [about what God wants you to do]. [And as a result, you will quit worrying about obeying all the religious laws, and] your spirits will be at peace.”
