< Matthew 11 >

1 And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.
Jesu ing a hubat thlanghqa hlaihih a venawh awi ak kqawn coengawh, ce a hyn awhkawng Kalili khawkhqi awh thlang cawngpyi aham ingkaw awi kqawn aham cet hy.
2 Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
Johan ing Jesu a bibinaak ce thawngim nakawng ang zaak awh, a hubatkhqi ce tyi nawh doet sak hy.
3 To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
“Nang ve ak law hly kawi a ming ngaih-u thlang ce hawh nu, am awhtaw thlak chang ka mik ngaih-u hly hyn nu?” tina uhy.
4 And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:
Jesu ing, “Voei unawh na ming zaak ingkaw nami huhkhqi ce Johan a venawh kqawn pe uh:
5 The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
Mikhypkhqi mik dai nawh, khawk khemkhqi cet uhy, mynqaaikhqi awm ciim nawh, hakpangkhqi haa khui hy, thlak thikhqi tho unawh, hahqahkhqi ing awithang leek ce za hawh uhy.
6 And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
U awm kai ak camawh amak tlu thlangkhqi taw ami zoseen hy,” tina hy.
7 And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
Johan a hubatkhqi ce ami ceh coengawh, Jesu ing thlang kqeng a venawh Johan akawng ce kqawn pehy; “Ikaw huh nami ngaih awh nu qamkoh na nami ceh? Paipoeng zilh ing a zawn huh nami ngaih awh nu?
8 But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.
Am awhtaw, ikaw huh nami ngaih awh nu nami ceh? Suibai ak nep nep ing ak thoeihcam qu thlang huh nami ngaih awh nu? Amni, suibai ak nep nep ing ak thoeihcam qu taw sangpahrang a im awh ni a awm.
9 But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Cawhtaw ikaw huh nami ngaih awh nu nami ceh? Tawngha aw? Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, tawngha anglakawh tawngha khqoet ce ni.
10 This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
Anih akawng ce ve myihna ana qee hyt hawh hy: “Nangmih a haiawh ka dyihthing laipai ce tyi law kawng nyngsaw, anih ing a haiawh lam qoek abah law kaw,” tinawh qee hyt na awm hawh hy.
11 Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi: nu ing a canaak thlang anglakawh Baptisma ak pekung Johan anglakawh ak bau khqoet thlang am awm hlan hy; cehlai khawk khan awh ak zawi khyt na ak awm ce Johan anglakawh bau khqoet hy.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.
Baptisma ak pekung Johan a awm awhkawng tuh dy awh, khawk khan ing thekhanaak ce ana hu hy, tha ak awm thlangkhqi ing a thama na hul uhy.
13 For all the prophets and the law were in force till John.
Ikawtih tawnghakhqi boeih ingkaw anaa awi ing Johan dy ni awi ami nak kqawn.
14 And if you are able to see it, this is Elijah who was to come.
Do aham nami ngaih mai mantaw, anih cetaw ak law hly kawi Elijah hawh ni.
15 He who has ears, let him give ear.
U awm zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng.
16 But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,
Vawhkaw cadilkhqi ve ikaw ing nu ka nyhtah lah voei? Ik-oeih ami zawihnaak hyn awh ak ngawi naasenkhqi ing ak chang naasenkhqi venawh:
17 We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.
“Kqung ka mi tum awh awm, am lam u hyk ti; kqahlung ka mik chat law awh awm, am ko am kqang u hyk ti,” tinawh amik khy ing myih hy.
18 For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.
Johan ce law nawh am aw am ai hlai hy, “Qaai tahy,” tina uhy.
19 The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.
Thlanghqing Capa law nawh nu a ai hy, cawh, aimaw aawk maw, misur tui ak sawk, mangmu ak cawikhqi ingkaw thlak thawlhkhqi a pyi, tina uhy. Cehlai cyihnaak ingtaw a sainaak awh dang sak hy, tina hy.
20 Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.
Cekcoengawh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih khawzah a sainaak khawkhqi ce a maming zut a dawngawh zyi khqi hy.
21 Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.
Korazin khaw map hyk ti! Bethesaida khaw map hyk ti! Nangnih ak khuiawh sai na ak awm kawpoek kyi ik-oeihkhqi ve Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw awh sai na a awm mantaw, maa deng awh dipche byng unawh, vyt awh ang zeet doena zut hawh voei uh.
22 But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.
Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, awidengnaak nyn awh Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw ce nangnih anglakawh ana boe bet kawm nih.
23 And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day. (Hadēs g86)
Cekcoengawh nang, Kapernuam, khawnghi dyna nak zoek qu hly tang nu? Hell na man na nung tlaak kaw. Nak khuiawh saina ak awm kawpoek kyi ik-oeihkhqi ce Sodom khaw awh saina ana awm mantaw, tuhngawi dy awh ak awm hly awm ni hlai hy voei. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.
Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, awidengnaak nyn awh Sodom khaw ce nang anglakawh ana boe bet kaw tina hy.
25 At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing, “Aw ka pa, khan ingkaw khawmdek Bawipa, nang ce nim kyihcah nyng, nang ing ik-oeihkhqi ve thlak cyikhqi ingkaw thlak thoemkhqi a ven awhkawng thuh nawh naasenkhqi venawh dang sak hyk ti.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was pleasing in your eyes.
Oeih, ka pa, ve ve nak kawngaih ik-oeih ni.
27 All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
Ka pa ing ik-oeih boeih boeih ce ka venawh ni pe hawh hy. Pa am kaa taw u ingawm capa ce am sim nawh, Pa ce sim aham Capa ing ak tyh thlang am kaataw u ingawm Pa ce am sim hy.
28 Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.
Nangmih phyihqih ak phyikhqi ingkaw ak khuikhakhqi aw, ka venna law lah uh, dymnaak ni pek khqi vang.
29 Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;
Kai a phyih ve phyi unawh, ka venawh cawng law lah uh, kawdaw ingkaw kawdung thlang na ka awm dawngawh, nami lingbyi dymnaak ce hu kawm uk ti.
30 For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.
Ikawtih ka phyih ve nep nawh ka phyihqih ve awm zang hy,” tina hy.
