Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Tukun Jesus el fahk kas inge nu sin mwet tumal lutlut singoul luo, el som liki acn sac in luti ac fahkak in siti ma oan apkuran nu in acn sac.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Ke John Baptais el lohng in presin ke ma Christ el oru inge, el supwala kutu sin mwet tumal lutlut nu yorol.
3 said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
Ac elos siyuk sin Jesus ac fahk, “Fahkma nu sesr, ya kom pa el su ac fah tuku, ku kut ac soano sie pacna?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Folokot ac fahk nu sel John ma kowos lohng ac liye inge:
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
mwet kun elos ku in liye, mwet ul elos ku in fahsr, mwet musen lepa elos aknasnasyeyukla, mwet sulohngkas elos ku in lohng, mwet misa elos akmoulyeyukyak, ac Pweng Wo uh lutiyuk nu sin mwet sukasrup.
6 and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
Fuka lupan insewowo lalos su tia alolo keik!”
7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?
Ke mwet lal John elos mukuiyak in som, Jesus el sramsram kacl John nu sin u lulap sac ac fahk, “Ke kowos tuh som nu yorol John nu yen mwesis ah, mea kowos tuh finsrak mu kowos ac tuh liye? Ya soko ah ma kusrusr ke eng uh?
8 'But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
Mea kowos som in liye ah? Ya sie mwet su yunla ke nuknuk kato? Mwet ma nukum nuknuk kato uh elos muta inkul fulat sin tokosra!
9 'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
Fahkma nu sik, mea kowos som in liye uh? Ya sie mwet palu? Aok pwaye, tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, el su kowos liye ah fulat liki na sie mwet palu.
10 for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mweyen John pa mwet se Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl: ‘Nga ac supwaot mwet sulkakin se luk meet liki kom, in tuh sakunla inkanek lom uh.’
11 Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, tuh John Baptais el fulat liki kutena mwet su moul oemeet me. Tusruktu, el su pusisel oemeet in Tokosrai lun kusrao el fulat lukel John.
12 'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
Oe ke pacl John el mutawauk in luti nwe misenge, yohk mwe akkeok sikyak in lain Tokosrai lun kusrao, ac mwet sulallal elos kena sikulya ma lungse lun God uh.
13 for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,
Meet liki pacl lal John, mwet palu ac Ma Sap lal Moses uh fahkak ke Tokosrai uh,
14 and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
ac kowos fin lulalfongi ke kas lalos inge, na John pa Elijah su tuh oasr fahkyen tuku lal uh.
15 he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.
Ke ma inge kowos porongo, fin oasr srewos!
16 'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
“Na inge, mea nga ac ku in luma mwet in pacl inge uh nu kac? Elos oana tulik srisrik su muta ke nien kuka uh. Sie un tulik uh wowo nu sin sie pac u, ac fahk,
17 and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
‘Kut nikaruru nu sumtal, a komtal tiana srosro nu kac! Ac kut yuk on in asor, a komtal tiana tung!’
18 'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;
Ke John el tuh tuku, el lalo ac tia nim wain, ac mwet nukewa fahk, ‘Oasr ngun fohkfok in el!’
19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
Ac ke Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, el mongo ac nim, ac mwet nukewa fahk, ‘Liye mwet se inge! El sie mwet kainmongo ac nim wain, sie mwet kawuk nu sin mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk saya!’ Tusruktu, lalmwetmet lun God uh akpwayeyuk ke fahko la.”
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.
Mwet in acn ma Jesus el oru inkaiyen orekma usrnguk lal we elos tiana forla liki ma koluk lalos, ouinge el kai acn inge.
21 'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;
El fahk, “We nu suwos, mwet Chorazin! We nu suwos, mwet Bethsaida! Orekma usrnguk ma orek yuruwos uh funu orek in acn Tyre ac Sidon, mwet we uh lukun nokomang na nuknuk yohk eoa oengi tari, ac okoaung apat nu fin sifalos in akkalemye lah elos forla liki moul koluk lalos!
22 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.
Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, God El fah akkalemye pakomuta lal nu sin mwet Tyre ac Sidon liki kowos!
23 'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day; (Hadēs g86)
A funu kowos, mwet Capernaum! Ya kowos lungse akfulatye kowos sifacna nu inkusrao? Kowos ac fah sisila nu in hell! Orekma usrnguk ma orek yuruwos uh funu orek in acn Sodom, acn we lukun srakna oan nwe misenge! (Hadēs g86)
24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.'
Tuh nga fahk nu suwos lah ke Len in Nununku, God El fah akkalemye pakomuta lal nu sin Sodom liki kowos!”
25 At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.
In pacl sac Jesus el fahk, “Papa, Leum lun kusrao ac faclu! Nga kulo nu sum tuh kom ikasla nu sin mwet nikin ma su kom okanla liki mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet etu.
26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.
Aok, Papa, ma inge orek fal nu ke lungse lom.
27 'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].
“Papa tumuk El ase nu sik ma nukewa. Wangin mwet etu ke Wen, a Papa mukena; ac wangin pac mwet etu ke Papa, a Wen mukena, ac elos su Wen el sulela in fahkulak nu se. Nu suw
28 'Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,
“Fahsru nu yuruk, kowos su orekma ac totola, tuh nga fah sot mongla nu suwos.
29 take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,
Eis srenenu luk nu fowos ac lutlut sik, tuh nga fakpap ac inse pusisel; ac kowos fah konauk mongla.
30 for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.'
Tuh srenenu luk fisrasr, ac mwe utuk luk mulala.”
