< Matthew 11 >

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek hlainit a uen te a khah vaengah, amamih kah khopuei rhoek ah thuituen ham neh hoe ham te te lamloh thoeih.
2 Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him:
Te vaengah Khrih kah bibi boeih te Johan loh thongim khui ah a yaak tih a hnukbang rhoek te a tueih.
3 Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?
Te vaengah, “Namah ah naka pawk, a tloe a ka lamso eh?,” patoeng a ti nah.
4 And Jesus making answer said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen.
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pa uh.
5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Mikdael loh a hmuh tih aka khaem loh cet coeng. Hmaibae loh cing coeng, hnapang hnalol loh a yaak coeng. Aka duek khaw thoo tih khodaeng taengah olthangthen a phong coeng.
6 And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me.
U khaw kai kongah a khah pawt atah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.
7 And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
Amih boeih a caeh uh phoeiah Jesuh loh hlangping taengah Johan kawng te a tong tih, “Ba sawt ham nim khosoek khuila na caeh uh? Yilh loh a hlinghloek capu a?
8 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings.
Tedae ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? a hnal la aka phuekhlaak hlang te nim? Himbai hnal aka bai ke manghai im ah om uh ke.
9 But what went you out to see? a prophet? yea I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? Tonghma a? Thuem, nangmih taengah kan thui, anih tah tonghma lakah olpuei ngai ta.
10 For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
‘Nangmih hmai ah kamah kah puencawn ka tueih ke. Anih loh nangmih hmaiah na longpuei a rhoekbah ni,’ tila anih kawng ni ana daek.
11 Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Huta kah a cun khuiah tuinuem Johan lakah aka tanglue phoe pawh, tedae vaan ram kah a yit koek pataeng anih lakah a tanglue la om.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.
Tuinuem Johan tue lamloh tahae duela vaan ram te a ael thil tih, aka aelkung rhoek loh a poelyoe uh.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John:
Johan duela tonghma rhoek neh olkhueng loh boeih a phong coeng.
14 And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.
Tedae doe hamla na ngaih uh koinih, halo hamla aka cai Elijah tah Johan coeng ni.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
16 But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.
Tedae hekah cadil he ba nen lae ka thuidoek lah eh? Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngol uh tih hlang tloe aka khue, aka thui camoe rhoek phek la om.
17 Who crying to their companions say: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented, and you have not mourned.
Nangmih hamla phavi ka tum uh akhaw na lam uh pawh. Hlo ka hlai akhaw na rhaengsae uh pawh.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil.
Johan ha pawk tih a caak a ok pawt hatah, ‘Rhaithae a kaem a ti uh.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children.
Hlang capa ha pawk tih a caak a ok hatah, 'Carhut neh yumi hlang la ke, mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a puei a po,’ a ti uh. Tedae cueihnah khaw a khoboe long ni a tang sak,” a ti nah.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.
Te phoeiah a thaomnah a kumngai a tueng sak kho rhoek te a yut uh pawt dongah ol a tong tih,
21 Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.
Anunae Khorazim nang te. Anunae Bethsaida nang te, Nangmih taeng ah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Tyre neh Sidon ah ka tueng sak koinih tlamhni, hmaiphu neh yut uh dingrhae pawn ni.
22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Tyre neh Sidon tah nangmih lakah a phoeng la om ni.
23 And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. (Hadēs g86)
Kapernaum nang khaw, vaan duela na pomsang uh pawt nim? Saelkhui duela na suntla bitni. Nangmih taengah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Sodom ah tueng sak koinih, tihnin duela te om suidae. (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.
Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Sodom kho tah nang lakah a phoeng la om ni,” tila a toel.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “A pa, vaan neh diklai kah Boeipa nang kan uem tangkik, he rhoek he hlangcueih neh lungming taeng lamkah loh na thuh tih cahmang rhoek taengah na pumphoe coeng.
26 Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
Ue apa na hmaiah kolonah la a om tangloeng dongah ni.
27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
A pa loh kai he a cungkuem la m'paek coeng. Te dongah pa pawt koinih capa te a ming moenih. Capa pawt koinih pakhat long khaw pa te a ming moenih. Tedae u khaw a ngaih atah capa loh a pumphoe pah coeng.
28 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
Hnorhih rhoek neh thakthae rhoek boeih te kai taengla halo lah, kai loh nangmih te kan duem sak ni.
29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Ka hnamkun he na pum dongah phuei uh lamtah kamah taeng lamkah he cang uh. Muelhtuet neh thinko tlayae la ka om dongah na hinglu ham duemnah na hmuh uh ni.
30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
Kai kah hnamkun tah kodam coeng tih ka hnophueih loh a yanghoep la om,” a ti.
