Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Et factum est, cum consummasset Iesus, præcipiens duodecim discipulis suis, transiit inde ut doceret, et prædicaret in civitatibus eorum.
2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
Ioannes autem cum audisset in vinculis opera Christi, mittens duos de discipulis suis,
3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
ait illi: Tu es, qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
Et respondens Iesus ait illis: Euntes renunciate Ioanni quæ audistis, et vidistis.
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.
Cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
et beatus est, qui non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
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?
Illis autem abeuntibus, cœpit Iesus dicere ad turbas de Ioanne: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatem?
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.
Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestitum? Ecce qui mollibus vestiuntur, in domibus regum sunt.
9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Etiam dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam.
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.’
Hic est enim, de quo scriptum est: Ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
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.
Amen dico vobis, non surrexit inter natos mulierum maior Ioanne Baptista: qui autem minor est in regno cælorum, maior est illo.
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.
A diebus autem Ioannis Baptistæ usque nunc, regnum cælorum vim patitur, et violenti rapiunt illud.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
Omnes enim prophetæ, et lex usque ad Ioannem prophetaverunt:
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
et si vultis recipere, ipse est Elias, qui venturus est.
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
Cui autem similem æstimabo generationem istam? Similis est pueris sedentibus in foro: qui clamantes coæqualibus
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
dicunt: Cecinimus vobis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non planxistis.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Venit enim Ioannes neque manducans, neque bibens, et dicunt: Dæmonium habet.
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.”
Venit filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicunt: Ecce homo vorax, et potator vini, publicanorum, et peccatorum amicus. Et iustificata est sapientia a filiis suis.
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
Tunc cœpit exprobrare civitatibus, in quibus factæ sunt plurimæ virtutes eius, quia non egissent pœnitentiam.
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.
Væ tibi Corozain, væ tibi Bethsaida: quia, si in Tyro, et Sidone factæ essent virtutes quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio, et cinere pœnitentiam egissent.
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Verumtamen dico vobis: Tyro, et Sidoni remissius erit in die iudicii, quam vobis.
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)
Et tu Capharnaum, numquid usque in cælum exaltaberis? usque in infernum descendes. quia, si in Sodomis factæ fuissent virtutes, quæ factæ sunt in te, forte mansissent usque in hanc diem. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Verumtamen dico vobis, quia terræ Sodomorum remissius erit in die iudicii, quam tibi.
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.
In illo tempore respondens Iesus dixit: Confiteor tibi, Pater, Domine cæli et terræ, quia abscondisti hæc a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis.
26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Ita Pater: quoniam sic fuit placitum ante te.
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.
Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Filium, nisi Pater: neque Patrem quis novit, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.
28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Venite ad me omnes, qui laboratis, et onerati estis, et ego reficiam vos.
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.
Tollite iugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum, et humilis corde: et invenietis requiem animabus vestris.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Iugum enim meum suave est, et onus meum leve.
