Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Axüisawe xaleinghngih a jah mtheh käna, mlüh kce hea ngthu pyen hü khaia Jesuh citki.
2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
Baptican Johan thawngim üngka naw Jesuha pawhmsahe a jah ngjak üng hnukläk nghngih Khritawa veia a jah tüih.
3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
Acun xawi naw Jesuh veia, “Johan naw law khai a pyen cen nang mä? Am ani üng akce kami na äp khai aw” ti lü ani kthäh.
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nghlat be ni lü nani hmuh ja nani ngjake naküt Johan üng va mtheh be nia” a ti.
5 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.
“Amikmüe naw hmuh be u lü, akxoe pi cit be thei ve u, mnehkse mnehkie daw be ve u, a nghnga kpange naw ngja be ve u, akthihe tho law be u lü, thangkdaw pi msih mpyaki he üng jah mtheh päng ve u.
6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Keia phäha a mlung am uplatsaki ta a josenki ni” ti lü a pyen.
7 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?
Johana axüisaw he ami ceh be üng Jesuh naw Johana mawng khyangpäe üng jah mtheh lü, “Johana veia khawkhyawng khawa nami ceh üng, i hmu khaia ni nami ceh? Khawkhi naw a ksün khuhnah bükteng khaia mä nami ceh?
8 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.
“I bükteng khaia ja nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisaki bükteng khaia mä nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisakie cun Sangpuxangea ima ni ami ve khawi.
9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
“Na mtheh ua, I teng khaia ni nami ceh? Sahma mä? Ä, ning jah mtheh veng, sahmaa pi kyäp bawki ve ve.
10 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.’
“Ahina mawng ni cangcim üng ng'yu lü, “Pamhnam naw, na maa ka ngsä na lam pyang khai ka tüih law khai.
11 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.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nghngicim naküt üng Baptican Johana kthaka daw bawki u am ve. Acunüngpi khankhawa veki akdik säih cun Johana kthaka daw bawki ni.
12 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.
Baptican Johana a ngthu pyen üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa khankhaw naw tuknak khameiki, ngtuatkia khyang ksee naw khaw ami yah vaia kthanakie.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
Pamhnama sahma he naküt ja Mosia thume naw Johana a ve vei cäpa Pamhnama Khawa mawng cun pyenkie.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
Ami pyen nami jum hlü üng, Johan cun law khaia ami na pyen khawi Elijaha kyaki.
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
A nghnga veki naw ngja se.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
Acunsepi atuh khyang he hin i am ni ka jah mtumtäng kawm? Ahin he cun hnasen lumeikie ami püi khü u lü,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
Pülün ning jah tum pe ngü se am nami nglamkie, yawk ng’äi mcuk ngü sepi am mbawikyap uki.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Johan a law üng am ei aw se, “Khyang naküt naw khawyaia venak” ami ti.
19 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.”
Khyanga Capa law lü ei aw se khyang naküt naw, “Teng ua, meng lü capyittui aw ve, akhawn kawke ja khyangkaea püi hin” ami ti. “Acunüng pi ksinghmatnak cun a bilawh üng ngsingki” ti lü a jah mtheh.
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
Acunüng Jesuh naw müncanksee aktunga a pawhnaka mlühe cun am ami ngjuta phäha a jah ksenak.
21 “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.
“Korazin mlüh aw na jo se ve, Bethsaida mlüh aw na jo se ve. Isetiüng ta, nangni üng mdana mäiha müncanksee hin Turah ja Sidon mlüha mdang vai sü ta, ahlana va kpyawnkse ngbung u lü, mput awt u lü ngjut päng khaie sü.
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng Turah ja Sidon mlüh xawi cun nangnia kthaka Pamhnam naw jah mpyenei khai.
23 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)
Nang Kapenawm mlüh pi, namät naw namät khankhaw cäpa na mhlünmtaiei hlüki aw? Mulaia ning khyakin vai. Nang üng mdana mäiha Sodom mlüh üng müncanksee jah mdan vai sü üng ta tuh vei cäpa ve ham khai sü. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Ka ning jah mthehki, “Ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng nanga kthaka Sodom mlüh üng Pamhnama mpyeneinak däm khai,” a ti.
25 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.
Jesuh naw pyen lü, “Ka pa, khawmdek ja khankhawa Bawipa aw! Khyang ktheme üng jah thup lü a mlung mhnemki hnasena mäihe üng na jah mhnüha phäh na ngming ka mküiki.
26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Ä, ka pa aw, ahin cun na ngjak hlüa kyaki ni.
27 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.
Ka pa naw avan a na pet päng. U naw a capa am ksing, ka pa däk naw ni a ksing. Ka pa pi u naw am ksing, a capa däk naw ni a ksing. Acun ja a capa naw a mtheh däk naw ni a ksing.
28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
A phüih yüh lü bawngbaiki naküt ka veia law ua, ka ning jah hüieisak khai.
29 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.
Ka kawhcung kawt ua. Ngmüimkhya lama ka mlungmthin hniphnawi lü nemkia kyase, ka veia ngtheingthang law ua. Acunüng, nami ngmüimkhyaa hüieinak nami yah khai.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
“Isetiüng ta, ka ning jah pet vaia kawhcung cun jäi lü, nami khana ka mtaih vaia phüih pi hangki ni” a ti.
