Matthew 11
1 Jesus in a nungzui sawmleni te thu a hil zawkciang, tua mun pan pusuak in, amate khuapi sungteng ah hilna pia tu le thuhil tu in pai hi.
And it happened that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Thonginn sung pan in tuiphumpa John in Christ nasep nate a zak ciang in, a nungzui ni te sawl a,
Now when John heard in prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3 Jesus kung ah, Nangma sia hongpai tu pa na hi ziam, a hibale a dang ngak laitu khu ziam, ci in dong hi.
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 Jesus in, Heakkik tavun a, na zak le na mu uh teng John tung ah sonkik vun;
And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 Mittaw te khuamu in, peangbai te lampai thei a, miphak te thiangsak in, nangong te khuaza thei a, mithi te thosak in, mizawng te tung ah lungdamna thu ki tangko zo hi.
the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 Akua mapo kei hang in muanlakna a nei ngawl te thuphatoai a hihi, ci in zo kik hi.
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 Amate a heakkik zawkciang Jesus in mipi te tung ah John thu son kipan a, Duisung ah bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Hui i seam phaikung ngawk ziam?
And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Puanneam hoi nano sil mu nuam nu ziam? en vun, puanneam nano sil te kumpi innsung ah a om te a hihi.
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 Bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Kamsang ziam? hi hi, kamsang bek domngawl hi, kong ci hi.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 Banghangziam cile, en in, na mai ah na lampi puakhol tu in ka thupuak sawl khi hi, ci a ki atkholsa thu sia, John thu a hihi.
This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
11 A tatak ka ci ciang, numei sung pan a piang teng sungpan tuiphumpa John sang in a lianzaw kuama om ngawl hi: ahihang vantung kumpingam sung ah a nobel sia nangawn John sang in lianzaw lai hi.
Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Tuiphumpa John hunlai pan in tuni dong vantung kumpingam sia zawthawkthu taw ki suttol in, a ngoltol te in sut in la hi.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
13 Banghangziam cile, kamsang theampo le Moses thukham te in John hundong maisang thu sonkhol zo uh hi.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Hi thu te na sangthei uh le, Elijah hongpai tu hi, a ci sia a ma John hi zo hi.
And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Zak natu bil nei theampo in za tahen.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Tu hun mihing te sia bang taw sonte tu khi ziam? Amate sia sumbuk te ah to in, a lawmte a biakpui patang te taw kibang hi.
"But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 Tamngai kong tum uh hang lam nuam ngawl nu hi; katap kong law uh hang zong kap tuan ngawl nu hi, ci uh hi.
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
18 Banghangziam cile John sia ne ngawl dawn ngawl in hongpai ciang, amate in doai vei hi, ci uh hi.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 Mihing Tapa sia ne le dawn in hongpai ciang, amate in, en vun, an tuang pa, sapittui tuang pa, siadong te le mawnei te i lawmpa, ci uh hi. Ahihang ciimna in a tate mawsiatna pan suatak hi. ci hi.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
20 Jesus in nalamdang a tamzaw a vawtna khuapi te a ki sikkik nop ngawl hang in mawsiat a:
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 Chorazin awng! na mailam bing hi! Bethsaida awng! na mailam bing hi! banghangziam cile na sung ah a ki vawt nalamdang te, Tyre le Sidon khua sung ah ki vawt hile, khau-ip le vut taw a ki sikkik uh ngei zo tu hi.
"Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Bethsaida. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ahizong kei kong ci na pan, thukhenna ni ciang Tyre le Sidon te nang sang in thuak nop zawlai tu hi.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Nang Capernaum awng! van dong in lapsang hi napi, hell sung dong khiaksuk na hi tu hi: banghangziam cile na sung ah a ki vawt nalamdang te Sodom ah ki vawt hile, tuni dong taang lai tu hi. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ahihang, kei kong ci na pan, thukhenna ni ciang nang sang in Sodom leitang i thuakna sia thuaknop zawlai tu hi, ci hi.
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
25 Tua hun laitakin Jesus in, Simlei le vantung i Pa, Ka Topa awng, mipil mithiam te kung pan in na sealcip thu te, hi patangno te tung ah pualak na hi man in ka lungdam hi.
At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
26 Hi tahen, Pa awng: hibang teng a piang tu na dei na a hihi.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Ka Pa in na theampo hong pia zo hi: Pa simngawl kuama in Tapa a he bua uh hi; Tapa le Tapa in a telsak nop te simngawl kuama in Pa a he bua uh hi.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
28 Van ngit pua in a toite theampo, ka kung ah hongpai tavun, tawlngakna kong pia tu hi.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Ka hakkol la in ki suan vun; keima tung pan ki sin vun; banghangziam cile keima in cingh in thinsung ki niamkhiakna nei ka hi kom: na thaa atu in tawlngakna na mu tu uh hi.
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 Banghangziam cile, ka hakkol puak nop a, ka van a zaang hi.,
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
