Matta 11
1 Bwikako Yecu dim biweret bi bei tomange ceri, cin dibom bi kole cua na co merang, na cin yi ci fulen ker kwama cinnr lor cer.
After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 La Yuwana nuwa co fiya co, ci fucinu dikero Yecu matiyeu, con tom bi bei tomange ceu na co yi co.
Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
3 Mon co nii boutiye kaka nyo ningtang kange ka?
to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4 Yecu yi ci ki, kom ya ko yico dika ka towe kange dike ka nuwa!
Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5 Fukma ti toi, kilendo yayamti, walebo cin twam ci nubo mani nuwareu to nuwai ci kung nubo bweyameu ti nob bunebo ci neci fulen kerero ti.
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
6 Nii wo nuwabo funer kange me ri nob bibwiyer.
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
7 Kambo nubo wuro cuweri Yecu yi nubo mwerumeu ker dor Yuwanar.
As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
8 Ye no kom cer yerak di kom ki tore, Yerako Yuwako moktiya? lan ye ka ciri ka towe nii dum ki kulendo fila-fila? Bilenker nubo dum ki kulendo Fila-fila ki daa lo liyabe.
Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
9 Ye ka ceri ri ka towe bwe tomange kwama? ong mi yikomti, bwe tomange kwama.
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 Wo cowo ci mulang dorcer ki “to mi tom kimen nii tomange miti ka kom nuwe kime, wo a Yulang nure mwe tiye.
This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 Min yikom bilenke ba kange ci kung more kime wo natum bowe la Yuwana nii yuka mweme ke. Nyori bi duware gwam mor liyar kwamareu laco.
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Ta ti kumeni Yuwanan nii yu mwemtiye yau ciko caneu, liyar kwamaro nuwa dotange kwiklki-kwilkiye, nob wilki-wilkiro tu kibi kwang.
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
13 Fiya na Yuwana na bou gwam nob tomangeb kwamaro kange werfundo tak ker dukumero woti.
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 No mwan ciya mo yuwo ri con Iliya wo a boutiye.
And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 wo ki tuweri a nuwa.
He who has ears, let him hear.
16 Ma bonkan kwaldo wo ki ye? ci nabi ma lor ti fiye miyeka dike, wuro yirongm cuwo butici tiye.
To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 Toki bin cii mwen lira mwa yelbo yila. Nyo yi kwan bwa, mwe cibo wiye.
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 Wo Yunana bou mani ca cari, ma no nyom kom yi ki to ciki bwekelkele.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
19 Bibwe nifire bou, ti cai ti noi ri, kom ki to wi ki nii kucunu knge ni o nyom tiye, far nob yuwaka kiyeme kange nob bwiranke! Nyori yilang ki fiya yuwoka ki nangendo co matiye.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20 La Yecu yoten werang cianr loro wo co man diker nyimankar wiyeu ducceu wori cin yiloka.
Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
21 kwamen mo karangcimun kwamanen mo Baptcaida naki diker nyimankaro wori ci ma kimeneu, cimam taaya kange cindo di, kin yiloten kutan -kutange mor yakca yilanga kange bi tuwam.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Na cuwori an la Tayanin kange cidon dor kimer, kakuk bolanger.
But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Mo kafanahum, mo kwatiri man fiya duktonka lo kwama ka? or ong an cukken nen bitine, hadec. mo codom naki nyimangeu manue, ma muneg di, no ki wi duwal. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Mi yikomti a yilam bwai biten codome min, na kimeu.
But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
25 Ki fiya co Yecu toki, “Min cakakom ti, Tebe, teluwe lo kwama kange kaleu, wori kom yurangen dike buro ka fiya nob yalannereu kange nyomka, la ka wom biyeyo bi dwartini nineu.
At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
26 Ong, te wuro yori kaba nuwe mwe.
Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
27 Dikero gwam cin neken ye fiye temi wiya ni kange mani wo a nyom bwe tiye, nyombo teu, nyo tak ni kange mani wo a nyom teu na bi bwece, kange wo co cokum naci nun cinene.
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28 Bou minen kom wo ki nuwa dotange tiye, wo ki kulendo tutue, nan ne kom fubi.
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Tu kulen miro, ki merangi mineng, wori mi lom-com, miki nero yiber mwan fiya fobka dume mwe.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 Wori kulen miro bwaibo, takeu kulen miro tubo.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
