Mathayo 11
1 Bangʼ ka Yesu nosetieko tiego jopuonjrene apar gariyo, nodhi nyime koa kanyo mondo opuonj kendo oyal e mier mag Galili.
And when Jesus had ended the instructions to his twelve disciples, he went from there, to teach and to proclaim in their cities.
2 Kane Johana owinjo ka en od twech gik ma Kristo ne timo, nooro jopuonjrene
Now when John, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Messiah, he sent by the hand of his disciples,
3 mondo openje niya, “In e jalno mane onego obi, koso warit ngʼat machielo?”
and said to him: Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another?
4 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Doguru mondo udwok wach ne Johana gik muwinjo kendo uneno:
Jesus answered, and said to them: Go, tell John the things that ye hear and see:
5 Muofni neno, rongʼonde wuotho, jogo man-gi dhoho ichango, joma itgi odinore winjo wach, joma otho ichiero, kendo Injili iyalo ne joma odhier.
the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings:
6 En ngʼat mogwedhi jal ma ok chwanyre mabar nikech an.”
and happy is he, who shall not be stumbled at me.
7 Kane oyudo jopuonjre Johana wuok mondo odogi, Yesu nochako wuoyo gi oganda kuom Johana kowacho niya, “Angʼo mane udhi mondo une e thim? Ne udhi neno odundu ma yamo tero koso?
And when they were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? A reed that waved in the wind?
8 Ka ok mano to en angʼo mane udhi mondo une? Ne udhi neno ngʼat morwakore gi lewni mabeyo koso? Ooyo, jogo marwakore gi lewni mabeyo iyudo mana e ute ruodhi.
And if not; what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate robes? Lo, they that are clothed in delicate robes, are in the dwelling of kings.
9 To kara nudhi mondo une angʼo? Janabi? Ee, awachonu ni ne udhi neno ngʼat moloyo janabi gi duongʼ.
And if not; what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, say I to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Ma e jal mane ondik kuome niya, “‘Abiro oro jaotena mondo otel e nyimi, obiro losoni yori kapok ibiro.’
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, that he may prepare the way before thee.
11 Awachonu adier kama: Kuom jogo duto mamon onywolo, onge ngʼama osewuok e dier ji maduongʼ moloyo Johana ja-Batiso; kata kamano ngʼatno matinie moloyo e pinyruodh polo duongʼ moloye.
Verily I say to you, Among those born of women, there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer: yet the small one in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
12 Chakre ndalo mag Johana ja-Batiso nyaka sani, pinyruodh polo osebedo ka idonje githuon, kendo joma thuondi ema kawe.
And from the days of John the Baptizer, until now, the kingdom of heaven is assailed by force, and the violent seize it.
13 Nimar ndiko mag jonabi gi mag chik nokoro nyaka ndalo Johana.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied, until the time of John.
14 Kendo kaponi uhero mar rwako wachni to ngʼeuru ni en e Elija mane onego obi.
And, if ye are willing, receive ye, that this is he who was to come.
15 Ngʼat man-gi ite mondo owinji.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!
16 “En angʼo ma dapimgo tiengʼni? Gichalo nyithindo mobet e chirni kendo maluongo jowetegi kagiwacho niya,
But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like to children, that sit in the marketplace and call to their associates,
17 “Ne wagoyonu asili, to ne ok umiel; bende ne wadengo ka wawero wend tho, to ne ok uywak.
and say: We have sung to you, and ye did not dance: we have wailed to you, and ye did not lament.
18 Nimar Johana Ja-Batiso nobiro ka ok ochiem kata metho, to giwacho ni, ‘En gi jachien.’
For John came, not eating and not drinking; and they said, He hath a demon.
19 Wuod Dhano nobiro ka chiemo kendo metho, to uwacho ni, ‘Neyeuru jawuoro kendo jamer mosiep josol osuru gi joricho.’ To rieko ifwenyo adimba kuom timbene.”
The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and they say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her works.
20 Eka Yesu nochako kwedo mier mane thoth honnige osetimoree, nikech negitamore weyo richo.
Then began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not.
21 “Mano kaka unune malit un jo-Korazin! Mano kaka unune malit, un jo-Bethsaida! Nimar ka dine honni motimnugi dinetim ne Turo gi Sidon to dine giseweyo richo chon ka girwakore gi lep gugru kendo ka gibukore gi buru.
And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
22 To awachonu ni chiengʼ ngʼado bura weche nobed maberber ne Turo gi Sidon moloyou.
But I say to you, It will be comfortable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
23 To in Kapernaum, bende ibiro tingʼori malo nyaka polo koso? Ooyo, ibiro lwar piny nyaka piny joma otho. Ka dine bed ni honni mane otim e iyi ne otim ei Sodom to dikoro pod entie nyaka kawuono. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to the grave. For if those deeds of power which were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 To awachonu ni chiengʼ ngʼado bura weche nobed maberber ne Sodom moloyou.”
But I say to thee, It will be comfortable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, rather than for thee.
25 E sechego Yesu nowacho niya, “Apakoi Wuonwa, Ruodh polo gi piny, nikech isepando gigi ne joma riek gi joma osomo, to isefwenyogi ne nyithindo matindo.
At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children.
26 Ee Wuora, nimar mano ema ne berni kotimore.
Yes, my Father; for so it seemed good before thee.
27 “Wuonwa oseketo gik moko duto e lweta. To onge ngʼama ongʼeyo Wuowi makmana Wuoro kende, bende onge ngʼama ongʼeyo Wuoro makmana Wuowi kaachiel gi joma Wuowi oyiero mondo ofwenynegi.
Every thing is given up by my Father to me. And no one knoweth the Son, except the Father. Also, no one knoweth the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.
28 “Biuru ira, un duto mujony kendo motingʼore mapek, mondo amiu yweyo.
Come unto me, all ye wearied and heavily burdened, and I will ease you.
29 Kawuru lodina mondo utingʼ kendo puonjreuru kuoma, nimar chunya muol kendo ahora mos, eka unuyud yweyo ne chunyu.
Take my yoke upon you; and learn from me, that I am gentle and subdued in my heart: and ye will find rest for your souls:
30 Nimar lodina ok pek kendo misika yot.”
for my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.
