Matthew 11
1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Wa Yesu a nno ba tre kle'a, a wlu don bubukii nda hi tsro nda bla tre Rji ni mi gbu ba.
2 Now when John heard in prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
Wa Yahaya u tie batisma awo rji koh wa batroa, bi' ndu wa Yesu zi tie, a ton mrli koh ma hi niwu.'
3 and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
A hla niwu, “Ahi wuyi u ye'a”? Ka kie yo shishi ni ndi ri mu.
4 And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Yesu a sa'a nda hla bawu, “Hi ndi hi hla ni Yahaya ikpye wa bi to mba ikpye wa bi wo'a.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Bi fyen ba fe toh, bi glogo za ba zren, bi kpurju ba katie tsratsra me, mangbi ba wo tre ngame u biwa ba qu'a, ba ta'ba sh'me, bi wa ngame ba nno ba tre Rji.
6 And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
Indi u lulu ahi wa ana k'bu za' ni tumu na'a.
7 And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Wa ndiba ba vu nkon mba hia, Yesu ka wlu tre ni j'bu ndi ba ni tu Yahaya; “Bahi wa ngye ni ji'-ahi giga' wa nghunghu ni fu'a?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
Uahi ngye bihiwa niji'-indi wa a sru kpyi bi rjien me? Njanjimu, bi sru kpyi wa ba rjien me ba son ni koh bichu.
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
U bihi ndi hitoh ngye, anebi? Njanjimu me hla yiwu, a na'a anebi.
10 This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Wawuyi wa ba nha nitumaa, 'tomba, misi tru u tonmu'a sihi ko shishi me, wa ani mla nkon wa u zu'a tie.'
11 Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Mi hla nkpon nji tre yiwu, ni'mi' ndi wawuu wa imba ba ngrji ba, iri mba tie bre nna Yahaya u tie batisma.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
Rji' ni' nton Yahaya u batisma ye zizanyi, mulki shulu ngrji zi toh yra tu' u ndi bi nno yra tua ba kpa gbujbu ni ngbenglen.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
E anabawa ba wawuu mba shariya bazi hla ye ye nton Yahaya.
14 And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
U bita ni kpa, ahi wawuyi Iliya wa ani yea.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Wa ahe ni ton u wo'a ka wo.
16 "But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Ni Ngye mba me tsra nzanyi niwu? Ahe na mrli bi ro ni cucu, nda si ro nda ni yoh kpa mba.
17 and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
Nda ni tre, kie vrli ngba' yiwu u bina nglu nzan na, kie ban jequu u bi yii na.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
E Yahaya ye nda na rli birli nda na so rooh na, u batre Ahe ni brji shango.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Ivren ndi ye nda ni rli nda ni so u ba'tre, to mbarli, ani rli nda ni so wu' rji ikpan bi kpa ban' ni u bi latre. E bato wrli ni bii ndu ma.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
Nikiyi Yesu ka wlu nda jutre ni gbu' wa a tie gbugbu kpyi bi sisri a u ba kana mla son mba tie na.
21 "Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Bethsaida. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Iyah me Korazin'! Iyah me Batsaida! E ikpyi bi sisri wa ba tie yiwu, bana tie ba ni taya mba sidon, ba ndi na sru ngbanjan nklon mba nda ngbam m'brji nda bre ndu wru latre mba hlega sari mu.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
E ni cacu u bla lantre'a ba fon tie ni ba taya mba sidon zanyi.
23 And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Iwu Kafarnahum, uya ndi ba gbrye wu san towa me hi shulu me? A ahn' ba njiwu rji ye ni hades. E ikpyi bi sisri wa ba tie ni wua ba na tie bani sodom, (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
andi na rli he zizanyi mi wa yiwu ba fon tie ni sodom ni vi u bla latre zan yi.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
Ni nton ki u Yesu katre, “Mi gbyre u san tietie, Baci u shulu mba u meme nituwa u rii' kpyi biyi ni biwa ba toh'a ndi tsro mrli biyi wa bana toh na.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
E, tietie iwayi a bi ni shishi me.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Ikpyi ba wawu mbawu banno rji ni tietie, indio ri na toh vren'a na, ahi tie'a kanklen ma, u ndio ri na toh tie'a na ahi vivren nkaklen ma ni ndi wa vivren son tsro'a
28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Ye nime wawu mbi wu, biyi bi tie yah nda he ni kpyi bi ron ma, mi ndi nno yi sii.
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.
Bon kpyi mu ni kpa mbi ndi tii bii u mu'a e mi na nzutuna u sroomu ahi, u bi fe si ni mi dri mbi.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
E ikpyi mu bana tie dii na nda fafa mr
