Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Jesu n gbeni o tunda yeni o ŋuankaaba, ko puodi ya longbanbimu sien ki tugni ki muandi U Tienu maama.
2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
San bo ye o dansaldiegun ki gbia ya tuoŋana bo tie kuli, k o sɔni o ŋuankaaba k bi bual o:
3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
fin n tie yua k ti guu bii ti gɔ da ba guu tian i.
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
Jesu ŋmiani: ya ca mani ki ban waani San yin la yaali yeni yin gbadi yaali:
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.
bi juanbi nuni guani ki nuali, i wabbmu fii ki cuoni, a gbada nugi tandi, a tubkpaana cili ki gbia, k bi tikpiib fii t kuldn ki talgnba gbia li laabaamanli.
6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Li pamanli yabi yaabi n duu n po k bi dindanli cie.
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?
Ban paani ki ca k jesu cili ki ji maadi San po o niwuligun nni, i gedi ki diidi bee i tinkuongn nn i? li galgunli yua ko faagu migni i?
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.
ama i gedi ki ban la ŋmaa i? ya nilo ŋanbi ki lani k li ŋan nni? diidi mani yaabi n la ti tiaŋandi tie yabi n kua bad diegu.
9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
I ji gedi ki ban la bee? U Tienu tondo o? n, i bi jiin n, o cie U Tienu tondo.
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.’
Kilima li tie yua k li bo diani ki maadi: diidi mani, n bi sɔni n tondo k wan bobni i sɔni ki guudi a cuama.
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.
Yeni i mɔni n mkaadi, bi puobi madn kuli, ti da ki la San ya lielo, li tie yeni ti Diedo diema nni i big n tie ciamo k cie bi kuli.
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.
Lan cili San yognu ki pan pundi hali mɔlane, ti Diedo diema ti mi tuami, ki bi gbanmandanbi kɔni bi ŋmiali nni.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
Kilima bi tondikaabi yeni ti yikod kadaagu bo maadi U Tienu maami yo, k San fidi ki yuandi cua.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
Ki ya bua yin gbadi niimn ni, ban yi yua Elin bo bi cua.
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
Ki yua pia ti tubdi ki ba gbadi, wan gbadi.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
Ki mɔlane nibi ne, bi naani yeni bi lee? ya bila n kaa bi niba n paa ki tigli naani, k sieni, ki yi bi lieba,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
ki maadi: ti piebi i naagbaamu (i yelmu), ama i ki jeli (ŋɔni ciagi), k ti yini i kuuyani, i ki mɔni kumɔni (ku bubuuli).
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Ki dugni, San cua k ki di, k ki ñu (ki lolgi o ñɔbu), k bi yedi ki cicibiadmu ŋuagu.
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.”
Ki nufosaali bijua cua ki di, ki ñu, ki bi yedi k o puoli mani ki kandi, ka tie dañuuli, k tie lonpogaala yeni bi bid danbi dɔnli. Ama mi yanfuomi waani o tuona nni yaali ntie bonmɔnli.
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
Li yognu k Jesu cili ki ji fu yeni ya nibi k bi dogin k bi tieni ti paldi boncianli, k bi tɔgu nan ki lebdi.
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.
Yubonli a po, koransen! yubonli a po betesayida! ki dugni ya yaalidgu bona tieni i siigni ya bo tieni Tiir yeni Sodɔm, hali daal o mani bi tugi o kpalpiagu yeni mi fantanpiema ki tuuba o.
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Li ya po i k n maadi: daa jijuog buud daali, Tiir yeni Sodɔm b la sugli ki cie yi i.
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)
Fin, Kafarnawuum, a mali k fin yeni a yabnu kuli a ba si tawlgbɔngu i? N n, a ba jiidi hali o tinkpiigun, ki dugni ya yaalidgu bona tieni a siigni k a k lebdi ne ya bo tieni Sodɔm i, mani o da sieni ki ye dinla daali. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Li po n cedi k n maadi, k daa jijuogi daali sodɔm buud baa suu yen ni.
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.
Li yognu k Jesu gaa mi maama ki maadi: n dond a, ti Diedo, poli yeni tinga canbaa ́, yeni ŋan wuoni bi yanfuodanbi yeni bi nunfandanbi ya bona ki nan tugi lani ki waani a bila.
26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
N, n Baá, n dond a yeni ŋan bua ki lan ya tie yeni.
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.
N Baá ten nni u paalu bonli kuli po, k nul k bani bijua, li ya ki tie Baá yaa ka, k nul ki bani Baá li ya ki tie o bijua yaa ka yeni yua k o bijua waani o
28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Cua mani n kani, yinbi yaabi n cɔgi, ki tugi k li kpiagi, k min teni mi fuoma.
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.
Tugi man n fala ki cengi m maami, ki dugni n tie pasiadaani ki gɔ jiind nba, ki bi la i nalimi fuoma.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Ki dugni, n tugli yua k ki kpiagi.
