Matio 11
1 Ie nagado’ Iesoà ty fañòhañe i mpiama’e folo ro’amby rey, le nienga, vaho nafanto’e ama’e ty hampioke naho hampitao amo rova’ iareoo.
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Ie tam-porozò ao t’Jaona, le jinanji’e o fitoloña’ Iesoào le nirahe’e ty mpiama’e roe,
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 hanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Ihe hao i ho aviy, ke mbe añe i tamaen-tikañey?
said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
4 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà am’iareo: Akia, atalilio amy Jaona o niisa’ areoo naho o jinanji’ areoo:
And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,
5 Mahaisake o feio, mitsontike o kepekeo, lioveñe o angamaeo, mahajanjiñe o gìñeo, vañoneñe o vilasio vaho votsoreñe o rarakeo.
blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
6 Faly ze tsy aliheñe ty amako.
and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”
7 Naho nañavelo iereo le nitaroñe i Jaona amy lahialeñey t’i Iesoà: Handrèndreke inoñe ty nihitrifa’ areo mb’am-patram-bey añe? Ty vinda natroetroen-tioke hao?
And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Ke inoñe ty niakara’areo ho sarieñe? t’indaty misarimbo marerarera hao? Toe añ’anjombam-panjaka ao o mpisaroñe lamba marerarerao.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.
9 Naho izay, inoñe ty niavota’ areo ho isaheñe añe? ty mpitoky hao? Eka, itaroñako t’ie lombolombo ty mpitoky.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
10 Ie i nipatereñe ty hoe: Inay, mañitrike ty ìrako hiaolo Azo iraho, ie ty hañajary ty lalañe aoloko.
for this is he of whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
11 Eka! to t’itaroñako te, ze nasaman’ ampela, tsy ama’e ty nionjoñe ambone’ i Jaona Mpandipotse, f’ie ilikoara’ ty kede amy fifehean-dikerañey.
Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Boak’amo andro’eo pake henane, le rembèñe i fifehean-dikerañey vaho te hitavañ’ aze o piaroteñeo.
And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
13 Songa mitalily ampara’ i Jaona o mpitokio naho i Hake.
for all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
14 Aa naho laha’areo ty hiantoke: ie i Elia ho aviy.
and if you are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
15 Ze aman-dravembia hijanjiñe, mijanjiña!
he who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
16 Razañeko ami’ty tariratse toy ty ajalahy mitoboke an-tsena ao mifampikoike
And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
17 ty hoe, Nisaboa’ay f’ie tsy nandrodo; nangololoiha’ay f’ie tsy nirovetse.
and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
18 Pok’eo t’i Jaona, tsy nikama, tsy ninoñe, le hoe iereo: Aman-kokolampa re.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;
19 Avy ka i Ana’ Ondatiy: mikama naho minoñe, vaho anoeñe ty hoe: Intia ty màhake naho mpigenoke, rañe’ o bakakalahio naho o mpanan-kakeoo. Izay ty fizaka’ o seretseo o mahihitseo.
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of her children.”
20 Nikobiha’ Iesoà amy zao o rova nanoe’e o vilo’eo ie tsy nitolike am-pisolohoañe.
Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
21 Fatse ama’o Korazina! naho, Hankàñe ama’o Betsaida! Fa naho nanoeñe e Tirò ao naho e Sodoma añe o viloñe nanoeñe ama’ areoo, le ho nitolike amy andro zay iereo am-pisolohoañe, an-gony naho lavenoke.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, 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 converted;
22 Eka! hoe ty itaroñako te ho mora amy Tirò naho i Sodoma te ama’ areo.
but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.
23 Ihe, Kapernaome, hionjoñe mb’andindìñe eñe v’iheo? Toe hazotso mb’an-tsikeokeoke ao, fa naho nanoeñe e Sodoma o viloñe nanoeñe ama’oo, hera mbe ho niteo. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
24 Eka! itaroñako te haivañe an-tane Sodoma ta te ho ama’o i andron-jakay.
but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
25 Ie henane zay, niongake t’i Iesoà nanao ty hoe: Rengen-dRehe, ry Aba, Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy, amy te naeta’o amo mahihitseo naho amo mahilalao i tsara zay vaho binenta’o amo mirèkeo.
At that time Jesus answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.
26 Eka Aba, toe nivantañe añatrefa’o izay.
Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.
27 Kila natolotse ahiko boak’ aman-dRaeko, tsy eo ty mahafohiñe i Anakey naho tsy t’i Rae, naho tsy ia ty mahafohiñe t’i Rae naho tsy i Anakey vaho ze satri’ i Anakey hatòke.
All things were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].
28 Mb’amako mb’etoa ze hene mokotse naho mifeake fitoloñañe, le himbaeko vaveñe ty joka’e.
Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;
29 Rambeso ama’areo ty jokako, le mioha amako fa lem-po iraho naho mora naho mazava-troke, vaho hahatendreke fitofàn’ arofo nahareo,
take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,
30 amy te mora ty jokako, vaho maivañe o kilànkakoo.
for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
