Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished instructing [us] twelve disciples [about what we should do, he sent us to various Israelite towns]. Then he went to teach and preach in [other Israelite] towns [in that area].
KI un'niniitsiu otai'ksĭstanĭstŏssax na'tsikoputsix otŭsksĭnĭmats'ax itsĭstŭpa'atomaie mŏkŭsksĭnĭmatstoksi ki mŏkatsĭm'semŏksi ot'akapioyimoauĕsts.
2 While John [the Baptizer] was in prison, he heard what [Jesus, the man whom he thought was] the Messiah, was doing. So he sent [some of] his disciples [to him] in order
Annok' John itsipsts'taupĭssi itai'okiakiopi otokh'tsĭsĕsts Christ oiapĭstutsipĭsts'aie, itokŏt'tsiuax na'tokŭmix otŭsksĭnĭmats'ax,
3 to ask him, “Are you the [Messiah] who [the prophets prophesied] would come, or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
Ki an'ĭstsiuaie, kikŭtami'pa annŏk' aiakoto'ŏk, ki nŏk'apsŭmmŏsĭnan noke'tsĭmi?
4 [After they asked] Jesus [that question], he answered them, “Go back and report to John what you hear [me telling people] and what you see [me doing].
Jesus an'ĭstsiuax, mĭs'tapuk, matan'ĭstsĭnnomok John annists'ĭsk kĭtokh'tsipuauĕstsk ki kitŭs'satsipuauĕstsk:
5 I [am enabling] blind people to see and lame people to walk. I [am] healing [people] who have leprosy. I [am enabling] deaf people to hear and dead people to become alive again. I [am] telling poor people [God’s] good message.
Naps' tsix ŭs'sŭpiau, ŭs'tsekaiĭx ikŏm'otauauŏkaiau, leperix ĭssin'aiau, kŭttaiai'okhtsĭmix ai'okhtsĭmiau, enix' aipuau'iau ki kĭm'atapsix atsĭmsem'aiau ŏkhs'itsĭniksĭnni.
6 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with people who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expected the Messiah to do].”
Ki atsĭm'siu annŏk' kŭttai'itstskĭmskŭkiuŏk nĕsto'i.
7 When John’s disciples had gone away, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John]. ([You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed his message, like] a reed that is blown {blows} back and forth in the wind [MET]!/Did you go there [to listen to a man whose message changes continually like] long grass that is blown {blows} back and forth in the wind [changes its direction]?) [MET, RHQ]
Ki otsĭs'tapusax, Jesus otaumŭtŭpaiitsĭnnikoŏsauaie akai'tappix John, Tsanĭstappiuă kumutsitappopuai ksĭs'tapsksŏkkum kŏk'satsipuai? Kŭttaitstsip'a apai' sopu'yi itau'ŭtopăpokaiiu?
8 Then what [kind of person] did you go [there] to see [RHQ]? ([You did not go there to see] a man who was wearing expensive clothes.[/Did you go there to see] a man who was wearing expensive clothes?) [RHQ] [No! You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes reside in kings’ palaces [and not in desolate areas].
Ki tsan'ĭstappiua kumut'sitappopuai kŏk'satsipuai? Kuttaitstsip'a nĭn'naii ĭkikĭn'ĭstotosiu? Anniks'isk ĭkikĭn'ĭstotosĭxk itot'okoyiau Omŭx'ĭnax oko'auĕsts.
9 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see [RHQ]? [Did you go there] [RHQ] [to see John because he was] (a prophet/a person who speaks what God tells him to say)? Yes! But I will tell you that [John] is more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
Ki tsan'ĭstappiuă kumut'sitappopuai kŏk'satsipuai? Kŭttaitstsip'a prophet? A, kitan'ĭstopuau skĭtsĭm'iuaie prophet.
10 He is the one [to whom God was referring when he said to the Messiah these words] that are written {about whom [the prophet Malachi] wrote} [in the Scriptures: ] Listen! I am going to send my messenger [to go] before you [SYN] to prepare [the people] [MET] for your coming.
Annŏk sĭnau', sat'sit, nitse'tomotokŭttau nito'tokatatsĭsau kostoksĭs', ki ake'tomsokapapĭstutsimaie koksoku'i.
11 Note this: Of all the people who have ever lived, [God does not consider] that any of them are greater than John the Baptizer. However, [God considers that all] those people who have let God rule their lives are greater than [John, even if they are insignificant people].
Kitau'mŭnĭstopuau anniks'ĭsk itsipokai'ĭmmokixk akex, mats'itstsipa ŏk'skĭtsĭmiaie John Baptist: ki annŏk' inŭks'tsĭmŏk spots' im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni ai'skĭtsĭmiuaie.
12 From the time that John the Baptizer [preached] until now, [other people] have violently attacked the people who have [allowed] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives, and they have suffered (OR, people have very eagerly been asking God to take control of their lives, OR, Israelite people [who have thought that I would become their king] have been extremely eager to be included in my kingdom) (OR, have been violently attacked and made to suffer).
John Baptist ĭstsiksĭs'tsikuĭsts, puk'sŭpiksĭstsikuĭsts spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni itŭsk'o tuitsipiop, ki ŭskotui'tsipimix itŭsk'otuitsipimiau.
13 [All this that I am saying about John is confirmed by the fact that] all the men who wrote the Scriptures [MTY, SYN] foretold [about God ruling people’s lives], until John [the Baptizer came].
Konai'prophetix ki okŏk'itsĭmani aie'nŭpanistomiauĕsts otsauomo'tosi John.
14 [Even though most of you are unwilling to believe what I am saying, I will tell this truth to] anyone who is willing to believe [it]: John is [the man who is like] Elijah [MET]. He is the one who [one of the prophets said] would come [in order to prepare the people to welcome the Messiah].
Ki mak'otsĭmenoainiki, am'auk Elias annŏk' ai'akotoŏk.
15 If you want to understand this, you must think [carefully] [MTY] [about what I have just said] [MTY].”
Annŏk itokh'iuŏk mŏk'okhtsĭmsi ŭnanĭststokh'tsĭs.
16 “(I will illustrate what [you] people who have heard what John [the Baptizer] and I have taught are like./Do you know what [you] people who have heard what John and I have taught are like?) [RHQ] You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of the children] are calling to the others, saying,
Tsa nitai'akanipa annŏk' o'tappiisĭnŏk manĭstsĭn'naiipuaiau? Netoinitsi'au pokax annim' itawk'pumauawpim itau'pix ki ai'sĭtsĭpsattsiau otŭk'auauax,
17 ‘We played [happy music] on the flute for you, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry [MET]!’
Ki an'ĭstsiauax, kitsik'ŭttomopĭnan ki kimat'spiipuau; kitau'yĭmopĭnan ki kimau'kaiisuauĕsts kimatakipuauĕstsau.
18 [Similarly, you are dissatisfied with both John and me]! When John came [and preached to you], he did not eat [good food] and did not drink [wine, like most people do]. But you [rejected him] saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
John oto'tosi matauyiu'ats ki mataisĭmiu'ats, ki an'iop pakh'tokĭnatsiu sauum'itsistaaw.
19 [In contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same] food and drink [wine as other people do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’ But people [who really think about] what [John] and I have done will realize that what we do is truly wise [MET, PRS].”
Nĭn'au okku'i oto'tosi, au'yiu ki ai'sĭmiu, ki an'iop, sŭm'mĭs, aistoks'oyiu ki aistok'sĭmiu, publicanix ki sauum'itsitappix otŭk'auauax. Ki mokŏk'sĭnni o'kosĭx oto'kŏmotsĭstutokaie.
20 [The people who lived in] the towns [MTY] [in the area where Jesus was saw him] perform many miracles. But they did not turn away from their sinful behavior. So Jesus began to reproach them [by saying to them],
Itau'mŭtŭpsĭtsĭpsattomĕsts akap'ioyĭsts annim' otsĭt'apĭstutsipĭsts ot'apĭstutŭksĭsts otsauomai'sauaitsitŭsax.
21 “You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell! [I] did great miracles in your [cities, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in [the ancient cities of] Tyre and Sidon, the [wicked people who lived there] long ago would have sat in ashes, wearing coarse cloth [to show that they were sorry for their sins]. (questioned)
Kitak'oksĭnip maka'pi, Chorazin! Kitak'oksĭnip maka'pi Bethsaida! Nitsĭt' tsipstsapĭstutsipĭsts kitakap'ioyimoauĕsts nitsĭttsipstsapĭstutŭkkitopiau Tyre ki Sidon ĭstak'apioyĭsts is'taisŭmmisauaitsitauopiau ĭsksĭm'matŭkkiaipĭstsĭsts ki makh'skĭtsĭsts,
22 So note this: [God will punish the wicked people who lived in the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [MTY], but he will punish you even more severely on the final day when he judges [all people].
Ki kitan'ĭstopuau Okŏk'itsĭmani ĭstsiksĭs'tsikui manĭstaksiksists'papsipi ksĕsto'a, aks'ĭsiksĭstspapiau Tyre ki Sidon.
23 [also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city] [MTY]. (Do not [think that] you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you think that you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs g86)
Ki ksĕsto'a Capernaum, kitspĭn'noko spots'im, hades kitaks'ĭnnĭssimoko; omŭk'apotŭksĭsts kitakap'ioyim itap'ĭstutsipiau ittsipstsapistutŭkkiopiau Sodom, ĭs'taisakiaitaitsiopi. (Hadēs g86)
24 So note this: [God] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom [city] [MTY], but he will punish you [even] more severely on the final day when [he] judges [all people].”
Ki kitan'ĭstopuau, Okŏk'itsĭmani ĭstsiksĭs'tsikui manĭstaksiksĭsts'papspi ksĕsto'au, aks'ĭsiksĭstspapiu Sodom.
25 At that time Jesus prayed, “Father, you rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth. I thank you that you have prevented [people who think that they] are wise [IRO] because they are well-educated, from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily as] little children [MET] [do].
Annik' Jesus an'iu, nitŏkh'sitŭkki nĭn'a, spots'im ki ksŏk'kum ĭstsĭn'aimi, kitai'ksĭsattokiauests annists'isk mokok'ietappix ki kitaipaso'kĭnomoaiau inŭk'sipokax.
26 Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Ŭnnianĭsts'it Nin'a; manĭstŏkh'sipi kitsitsi'tan.
27 [Then Jesus said to the people there who wanted him to teach them], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all the things [that I need to know in order to do my work]. Only my Father knows [who] I [really am]. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know [what God] my Father [is like].
Nin'a otokŏnai'nanĭsts nitokok: ki matsitstsipa ĭsksĭnnu'yiuaie okku'iaie Nin'a nits'ksĭnnuyiuaie; matsitstsipa ĭsksĭnnu'yiuaie Un'ni, okku'i nits'ksĭnnuyiuaie, ki annŏk ĭsksĭnĭmats'stokŏttseuŏk Un'ni.
28 Come to me, all you people who are very weary [of trying to obey all the many laws that your religious teachers tell you to obey] [MET]. I will enable you to quit [trying to obey all those laws].
Puksipa'akik kŏnai'ikapotŭkkix ki ikŏnŭs'soksĭstsix, ki kitak'okotopuau ĭssĭk'sĭstsikosĭnni.
29 Let me [help] you [carry those loads, just like two oxen who have] a yoke [on their necks] [MET, DOU] [help each other pull a heavy load]. It will not be difficult for you to do the things that I ask you to do for me [DOU]. Because I am gentle and humble [DOU], accept what I teach [about what God wants you to do]. [And as a result, you will quit worrying about obeying all the religious laws, and] your spirits will be at peace.”
