Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he removed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.
(that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
But when they were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the assembly concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the waste to see? a reed that by the wind was shaken?
8 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft [raiment]? Behold, they that wear soft [raiment] are in kings’ houses.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft vestments? Behold, they who are softly clothed are in the house of kings.
9 But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? I tell you, Yes; and more than a prophet.
10 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women who greater than Juchanon the Baptizer: yet, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.
But from the days of Juchanon the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of the heavens by violence is taken, and the violent ones seize it.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 And if ye are willing to receive [it], this is Elijah, that is to come.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn.
and say, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
For Juchanon came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, See a man a devourer, a wine-drinker, a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners. But justified is wisdom by her servants.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, 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.
saying, Woe to thee, Korazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.
22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Kaphernachum, who unto heaven art exalted, unto Shiul shalt be brought down; for if in Sadum had been done those miracles which have been done in thee, it would have stood until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for thee.
25 At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes:
IN that time Jeshu answered and said, I praise thee, my Father, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou hast concealed these (things) from the wise and prudent, but hast revealed them unto little children.
26 yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal [him].
All things are delivered to me from my Father; and no man knoweth the Son but the Father; also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).
28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
