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].
P'en devoe Jezuz echuet da reiñ e gemennoù d'e zaouzek diskibl, ez eas ac'hane da gelenn ha da brezeg e kêrioù ar vro.
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
Yann, o vezañ klevet en e brizon komz diwar-benn oberoù ar C'hrist, a gasas [daou eus] e ziskibien da lavarout dezhañ:
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]?”
Bez' out an hini a dle dont, pe e tleomp gortoz unan all?
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].
Jezuz a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: It ha lavarit da Yann ar pezh a glevit hag ar pezh a welit:
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.
ar re dall a wel, ar re gamm a gerzh, ar re lovr a zo glanaet, ar re vouzar a glev, ar re varv a adsav da vev, ar c'heloù mat a zo prezeget d'ar beorien.
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].”
Eürus eo an neb ne gavo ket a skouer fall ennon.
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]
Evel ma'z aent kuit, Jezuz en em lakaas da lavarout d'ar bobl diwar-benn Yann: Petra oc'h aet da welout el lec'h distro? Ur bennduenn hejet gant an avel?
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].
Met petra oc'h aet da welout? Un den gwisket gant dilhad kaer? Setu, ar re a zo gwisket gant dilhad kaer a zo e tiez ar rouaned.
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.
Met petra oc'h aet da welout? Ur profed? Ya a lavaran deoc'h, ha muioc'h eget ur profed.
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.
Rak eñ eo an hini ma'z eo skrivet diwar e benn: Setu, e kasan va c'hannad dirak da zremm, hag a ficho an hent a-raok dit.
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].
Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, e-touez ar re a zo bet ganet gant gwragez, n'eus bet savet hini brasoc'h eget Yann-Vadezour; ha koulskoude, ar bihanañ e rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo brasoc'h egetañ.
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).
Adalek amzer Yann betek vremañ, rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo kemeret dre nerzh, hag ar re daer eo he c'hemer.
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].
Rak an holl brofeded hag al lezenn o deus diouganet betek Yann;
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].
ha mar fell deoc'h kompren, eñ eo an Elia a dlee dont.
15 If you want to understand this, you must think [carefully] [MTY] [about what I have just said] [MTY].”
Ra selaouo an neb en deus divskouarn da glevout.
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,
Ouzh petra e keñverin ar rummad-mañ? Heñvel eo ouzh bugale azezet war al leurgêrioù, hag a gri da vugale all,
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]!’
o lavarout: Ni hon eus sonet deoc'h ar fleüt, ha n'hoc'h eus ket dañset; ni hon eus kanet hirvoudoù deoc'h, ha n'hoc'h eus ket douget kañv.
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!’
Rak Yann a zo deuet, hep debriñ nag evañ, hag e lavaront: Un diaoul a zo ennañ.
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].”
Mab an den a zo deuet, o tebriñ hag oc'h evañ, hag e lavaront: Setu un debrer hag un ever, ur mignon d'ar bublikaned ha d'an dud a vuhez fall. Met ar furnez a zo bet reishaet gant he bugale.
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],
Neuze en em lakaas d'ober rebechoù d'ar c'hêrioù en devoa graet enno an darn vuiañ eus e virakloù, abalamour ma n'o devoa ket bet keuz.
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)
Gwalleur dit, Korazin! Gwalleur dit, Betsaida! Rak ma vije bet graet e Tir hag e Sidon ar mirakloù a zo bet graet ennoc'h, pell zo e vijent kaout keuz, o kemer ar sac'h hag al ludu.
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].
Setu perak, en lavaran deoc'h, e deiz ar varn, e vo dousoc'h da Dir ha da Sidon, eget deoc'h.
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)
Ha te, Kafarnaoum, te a zo bet savet betek an neñv, izelaet e vi betek lec'h ar marv; rak mar vije bet graet e Sodom ar mirakloù a zo bet graet ez kreiz, e vije c'hoazh hiziv en he sav. (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].”
Setu perak, en lavaran deoc'h, e deiz ar varn, e vo dousoc'h da Vro-Sodom, eget dit.
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].
En amzer-se, Jezuz a gemeras ar gomz hag a lavaras: Da veuliñ a ran, o Tad, Aotrou an neñv hag an douar, ma ec'h eus kuzhet an traoù-mañ ouzh ar re fur hag ouzh ar re skiantek, ha ma ec'h eus o diskuliet d'ar vugale!
26 Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Ya, o Tad, da veuliñ a ran dre ma ec'h eus c'hoantaet evel-se.
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].
Pep tra a zo bet roet din gant va Zad, ha den ne oar piv eo ar Mab, nemet an Tad, na piv eo an Tad kennebeut, nemet ar Mab, hag an hini e fell d'ar Mab e ziskuliañ dezhañ.
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].
Deuit da'm c'havout, c'hwi holl a zo skuizh ha bec'hiet, ha me ho tiboanio.
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.”
Kemerit va yev warnoc'h ha deskit diganin, rak me a zo dous hag izelek a galon, hag e kavot diskuizh d'hoc'h eneoù;
rak va yev a zo dous, ha va bec'h a zo skañv.
