< 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].
Kui Jeesus oli lõpetanud oma kaheteistkümne jüngri õpetamise, läks ta ümbruskonna linnadesse õpetama ja avalikult kõnelema.
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
Sel ajal kui Johannes oli vanglas, kuulis ta, mida Messias tegi, seega saatis ta oma jüngrid
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]?”
enda nimel küsima: „Kas sina oled see, kelle tulekut pidime ootama, või peame veel kedagi teist otsima?“
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].
Jeesus vastas neile: „Minge tagasi ja rääkige Johannesele, mida te kuulete ja näete.
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.
Pimedad näevad, jalutud kõnnivad, pidalitõbised saavad terveks, kurdid kuulevad, surnud äratatakse üles ja vaesed kuulevad head sõnumit.
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].”
Õnnistatud on need, kes mind tagasi ei lükka!“
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]
Kui nad lahkusid, hakkas Jeesus rahvale Johannesest rääkima. „Mida te lootsite näha, kui läksite välja kõrbesse? Tuule käes kõikuvat pilliroogu?
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].
Mida te siis läksite vaatama? Uhketes rõivastes meest? Selliste rõivastega inimesed elavad kuningapaleedes.
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.
Mida te siis läksite vaatama? Prohvetit? Jah, ja ma ütlen teile, ta on palju enam kui prohvet!
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.
Tema on see, kellest pühakirjas on kirjutatud: „Ma saadan oma käskjala sinu eel. Ta valmistab sulle teed.“
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].
Ma ütlen teile tõtt, et inimeste hulgas ei ole suuremat kui Ristija Johannes, aga isegi kõige tühisem taevariigis on temast suurem.
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).
Ristija Johannese ajast kuni praeguseni on taevariik jätkuvalt rünnakute all ning vägivaldsed inimesed üritavad seda jõuga enda valdusesse haarata.
13 [All this that I am saying about John is confirmed by the fact that] all the men who wrote the Scriptures [MTY, SYN] foretold [about God ruling people’s lives], until John [the Baptizer came].
Sest kõik prohvetid ja seadus kõnelesid Jumala kasuks kuni Johannese tulekuni.
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].
Kui olete valmis seda uskuma: tema on Eelija, see, kes pidi tulema.
15 If you want to understand this, you must think [carefully] [MTY] [about what I have just said] [MTY].”
Kellel kõrvad on, see kuulaku!
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,
Millega peaksin seda põlvkonda võrdlema? See on nagu turuplatsil istuvad lapsed, kes karjuvad üksteisele:
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]!’
„Me mängisime teile flööti ja te ei tantsinud; me laulsime laule ja te ei nutnud.“
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!’
Johannes ei tulnud sööma ja jooma, seepärast inimesed ütlevad: „Ta on kurjast vaimust vaevatud!“
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].”
Inimese Poeg aga tuli, sõi ja jõi ning inimesed ütlevad: „Vaadake, ta on ahne ja joob liiga palju; ta on maksukogujate ja patuste sõber!“Kuid arukus näitab, et tal on õigus, sellega, mida ta teeb …“
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],
Siis hakkas ta noomima linnu, kus ta oli teinud kõige rohkem imetegusid, sellepärast et nad ei olnud meelt parandanud.
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)
„Häbi sulle, Korasin! Häbi sulle, Betsaida! Kui Tüüroses ja Siidonis oleksid toimunud need imeteod, mis toimusid teie juures, oleksid nad juba ammu kotiriides ja tuhas kahetsenud.
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].
Aga ma ütlen teile, et kohtupäeval on Tüürose ja Siidoni olukord parem kui teil!
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)
Ja kuidas on sinuga, Kapernaum? Kas sind ülendatakse taevasse? Ei, sa lähed alla manalasse! Kui Soodomas oleksid tehtud need imeteod, mis toimusid sinu juures, oleks Soodom veel tänapäevalgi alles. (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].”
Aga ma ütlen teile, et kohtupäeval on Soodoma olukord parem kui sinul!“
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].
Siis Jeesus palvetas: „Ma kiidan sind, Isa, taeva ja maa Issand, et sa oled neid asju varjanud tarkade ja haritute eest. Selle asemel oled sa need ilmutanud tavalistele inimestele.
26 Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Jah, Isa, sa tegid seda hea meelega!
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].
Isa on kõik usaldanud minu kätte ja tegelikult ei mõista keegi Poega, välja arvatud Isa, ja keegi ei mõista tegelikult Isa, välja arvatud Poeg ja need, kellele Poeg otsustab teda ilmutada.
28 Come to me, all you people who are very weary [of trying to obey all the many laws that your religious teachers tell you to obey] [MET]. I will enable you to quit [trying to obey all those laws].
Tulge minu juurde kõik, kes te praegu heitlete ja olete koormatud. Ma annan teile rahu.
29 Let me [help] you [carry those loads, just like two oxen who have] a yoke [on their necks] [MET, DOU] [help each other pull a heavy load]. 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.”
Võtke vastu minu ike ja õppige minult, sest mina olen lahke ja alandliku südamega ning te leiate minust rahu, mida vajate.
Sest minu ike on vaevu tuntav ja minu koorem on kerge.“
