Matthew 11
1 Tukun Jesus el fahk kas inge nu sin mwet tumal lutlut singoul luo, el som liki acn sac in luti ac fahkak in siti ma oan apkuran nu in acn sac.
After finishing his instructions to his twelve disciples, Jesus left that place, in order to teach and to preach in the neighboring cities.
2 Ke John Baptais el lohng in presin ke ma Christ el oru inge, el supwala kutu sin mwet tumal lutlut nu yorol.
But when Johnheard, in the prison, what the Christ was doing, he sent by some of his disciples to ask him,
3 Ac elos siyuk sin Jesus ac fahk, “Fahkma nu sesr, ya kom pa el su ac fah tuku, ku kut ac soano sie pacna?”
"Are you the Coming One, or are we to look for someone else?"
4 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Folokot ac fahk nu sel John ma kowos lohng ac liye inge:
"Go and tell John," was Jesus’ answer, "what you hear and see;
5 mwet kun elos ku in liye, mwet ul elos ku in fahsr, mwet musen lepa elos aknasnasyeyukla, mwet sulohngkas elos ku in lohng, mwet misa elos akmoulyeyukyak, ac Pweng Wo uh lutiyuk nu sin mwet sukasrup.
"the lame are walking, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, and the gospel is being preached to the poor.
6 Fuka lupan insewowo lalos su tia alolo keik!”
"And blessed is the man who finds no cause of stumbling in me."
7 Ke mwet lal John elos mukuiyak in som, Jesus el sramsram kacl John nu sin u lulap sac ac fahk, “Ke kowos tuh som nu yorol John nu yen mwesis ah, mea kowos tuh finsrak mu kowos ac tuh liye? Ya soko ah ma kusrusr ke eng uh?
As these men started to go away, Jesus began to speak to the throngs, about John.
8 Mea kowos som in liye ah? Ya sie mwet su yunla ke nuknuk kato? Mwet ma nukum nuknuk kato uh elos muta inkul fulat sin tokosra!
"What did you go out into the desert to behold?" he asked; "A reed shaken by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment dwell in kings’ palaces!
9 Fahkma nu sik, mea kowos som in liye uh? Ya sie mwet palu? Aok pwaye, tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, el su kowos liye ah fulat liki na sie mwet palu.
"But why did you go? To see a prophet? I tell you, yes, and more than a prophet;
10 Mweyen John pa mwet se Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl: ‘Nga ac supwaot mwet sulkakin se luk meet liki kom, in tuh sakunla inkanek lom uh.’
"for this is he of whom it is written. "Behold, I send my messenger before my face, And he will prepare thy road for thee.
11 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, tuh John Baptais el fulat liki kutena mwet su moul oemeet me. Tusruktu, el su pusisel oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao el fulat lukel John.
"In solemn truth I tell you that there has not arisen among those born of women a greater than Johnthe Baptist; yet one of the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Oe ke pacl John el mutawauk in luti nwe misenge, yohk mwe akkeok sikyak in lain Tokosrai lun kusrao, ac mwet sulallal elos kena sikulya ma lungse lun God uh.
"From the days of Johnthe Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by storm.
13 Meet liki pacl lal John, mwet palu ac Ma Sap lal Moses uh fahkak ke Tokosrai uh,
"For the prophets and the Law prophesied until John;
14 ac kowos fin lulalfongi ke kas lalos inge, na John pa Elijah su tuh oasr fahkyen tuku lal uh.
"and, if you are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 Ke ma inge kowos porongo, fin oasr srewos!
"Let all who have ears, listen!
16 “Na inge, mea nga ac ku in luma mwet in pacl inge uh nu kac? Elos oana tulik srisrik su muta ke nien kuka uh. Sie un tulik uh wowo nu sin sie pac u, ac fahk,
"To what shall I compare this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, who call to the other children,
17 ‘Kut nikaruru nu sumtal, a komtal tiana srosro nu kac! Ac kut yuk on in asor, a komtal tiana tung!’
"saying. ‘We have piped to you and you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not beaten your breasts.’
18 Ke John el tuh tuku, el lalo ac tia nim wain, ac mwet nukewa fahk, ‘Oasr ngun fohkfok in el!’
"For Johncame neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He has a demon’;
19 Ac ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, el mongo ac nim, ac mwet nukewa fahk, ‘Liye mwet se inge! El sie mwet kainmongo ac nim wain, sie mwet kawuk nu sin mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk saya!’ Tusruktu, lalmwetmet lun God uh akpwayeyuk ke fahko la.”
and the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Lo, a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners!’ Nevertheless, Wisdom is justified by her deeds."
20 Mwet in acn ma Jesus el oru inkaiyen orekma usrnguk lal we elos tiana forla liki ma koluk lalos, ouinge el kai acn inge.
Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they had not repented.
21 El fahk, “We nu suwos, mwet Chorazin! We nu suwos, mwet Bethsaida! Orekma usrnguk ma orek yuruwos uh funu orek in acn Tyre ac Sidon, mwet we uh lukun nokomang na nuknuk yohk eoa oengi tari, ac okoaung apat nu fin sifalos in akkalemye lah elos forla liki moul koluk lalos!
"Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented, long ago, in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, God El fah akkalemye pakomuta lal nu sin mwet Tyre ac Sidon liki kowos!
"Moreover, I tell you it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of Judgment, than for you.
23 A funu kowos, mwet Capernaum! Ya kowos lungse akfulatye kowos sifacna nu inkusrao? Kowos ac fah sisila nu in hell! Orekma usrnguk ma orek yuruwos uh funu orek in acn Sodom, acn we lukun srakna oan nwe misenge! (Hadēs g86)
"And you too, Capernaum! Will you be exalted even to heaven? You shall go down to the Place of Death! For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which have been done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Tuh nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, God El fah akkalemye pakomuta lal nu sin Sodom liki kowos!”
"I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you."
25 In pacl sac Jesus el fahk, “Papa, Leum lun kusrao ac faclu! Nga kulo nu sum tuh kom ikasla nu sin mwet nikin ma su kom okanla liki mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet etu.
At that time Jesus answered and said. "I praise thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and wary, and hast revealed them to the children.
26 Aok, Papa, ma inge orek fal nu ke lungse lom.
"Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 “Papa tumuk El ase nu sik ma nukewa. Wangin mwet etu ke Wen, a Papa mukena; ac wangin pac mwet etu ke Papa, a Wen mukena, ac elos su Wen el sulela in fahkulak nu se. Nu suw
"Everything has been handed over to me by my Father; neither does any one know the Son, except the Father, nor any one know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28 “Fahsru nu yuruk, kowos su orekma ac totola, tuh nga fah sot mongla nu suwos.
"Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Eis srenenu luk nu fowos ac lutlut sik, tuh nga fakpap ac inse pusisel; ac kowos fah konauk mongla.
"Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 Tuh srenenu luk fisrasr, ac mwe utuk luk mulala.”
"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
