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 when Jesus had made an end of giving orders to his twelve disciples, He departed from thence 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 of the works of Christ,
3 Jesus kung ah, Nangma sia hongpai tu pa na hi ziam, a hibale a dang ngak laitu khu ziam, ci in dong hi.
he sent two of his disciples to ask Him, Art thou He who was to come, or are we to expect another?
4 Jesus in, Heakkik tavun a, na zak le na mu uh teng John tung ah sonkik vun;
And Jesus said to them in answer, Go and tell John the things which ye 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 are restored to sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised to life, and the poor have the gospel preached to them:
6 Akua mapo kei hang in muanlakna a nei ngawl te thuphatoai a hihi, ci in zo kik hi.
and happy is the man who shall not be offended at any thing in 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 they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the desert 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 went ye out to see? a man clad in fine attire? they that wear rich clothes are in the palaces of kings.
9 Bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Kamsang ziam? hi hi, kamsang bek domngawl hi, kong ci hi.
But what did ye indeed go out to see? a prophet? Yes, verily, and one superior to 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.
For this is he, of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."
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.
For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest 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 to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness.
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, did no more than prophesy, till John came:
14 Hi thu te na sangthei uh le, Elijah hongpai tu hi, a ci sia a ma John hi zo hi.
and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.
15 Zak natu bil nei theampo in za tahen.
He that hath 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 shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the market-places,
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 calling to their companions, and saying "We have sung and ye have not danced; we have mourned, and ye have not lamented:"
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 as others do, and they say, He is beside himself:
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 like other men, and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans 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 began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; 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.
Wo unto thee, Chorazin; wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles wrought among you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 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.
therefore I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgement, 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 thou, Capernaum, which art exalted even to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto 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.
Moreover I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee.
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.
And upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:
26 Hi tahen, Pa awng: hibang teng a piang tu na dei na a hihi.
even so, Father, for it was thy good pleasure that so it should be."
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 are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal Him.
28 Van ngit pua in a toite theampo, ka kung ah hongpai tavun, tawlngakna kong pia tu hi.
Come unto me therefore all ye who are labouring and oppressed, and I will give you ease.
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 but my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart, ) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:
30 Banghangziam cile, ka hakkol puak nop a, ka van a zaang hi.,
for my yoke is easy, and my burthen is light.
