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.
It came about that when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Ie tam-porozò ao t’Jaona, le jinanji’e o fitoloña’ Iesoào le nirahe’e ty mpiama’e roe,
Now when John heard in the prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent a message by his disciples
3 hanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Ihe hao i ho aviy, ke mbe añe i tamaen-tikañey?
and said to him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
4 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà am’iareo: Akia, atalilio amy Jaona o niisa’ areoo naho o jinanji’ areoo:
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you see and hear.
5 Mahaisake o feio, mitsontike o kepekeo, lioveñe o angamaeo, mahajanjiñe o gìñeo, vañoneñe o vilasio vaho votsoreñe o rarakeo.
Blind people are receiving sight, lame people are walking, lepers are being cleansed, deaf people are hearing again, people who have died are being raised back to life, and needy people are being told the good news.
6 Faly ze tsy aliheñe ty amako.
Blessed is anyone who is not offended by 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?
As these men went on their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds about John, “What did you go out in the desert to see—a reed being 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 dressed in soft clothing? Really, those who wear soft clothing live in 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 much more than a prophet.
10 Ie i nipatereñe ty hoe: Inay, mañitrike ty ìrako hiaolo Azo iraho, ie ty hañajary ty lalañe aoloko.
This is he of whom it was written, 'See, I am sending 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.
I say to you truly, among those born of women no one is greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.
12 Boak’amo andro’eo pake henane, le rembèñe i fifehean-dikerañey vaho te hitavañ’ aze o piaroteñeo.
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and men of violence take it by force.
13 Songa mitalily ampara’ i Jaona o mpitokio naho i Hake.
For all the prophets and the law have been prophesying until John;
14 Aa naho laha’areo ty hiantoke: ie i Elia ho aviy.
and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who was to come.
15 Ze aman-dravembia hijanjiñe, mijanjiña!
He who has ears to hear, let him listen.
16 Razañeko ami’ty tariratse toy ty ajalahy mitoboke an-tsena ao mifampikoike
To what should I compare this generation? It is like children playing in the marketplace, who sit and call to one another
17 ty hoe, Nisaboa’ay f’ie tsy nandrodo; nangololoiha’ay f’ie tsy nirovetse.
and say, 'We played a flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
18 Pok’eo t’i Jaona, tsy nikama, tsy ninoñe, le hoe iereo: Aman-kokolampa re.
For John came not eating bread or drinking wine, 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, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
20 Nikobiha’ Iesoà amy zao o rova nanoe’e o vilo’eo ie tsy nitolike am-pisolohoañe.
Then Jesus began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty deeds were done, because they had not repented.
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! If the mighty deeds had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Eka! hoe ty itaroñako te ho mora amy Tirò naho i Sodoma te ama’ areo.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 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)
You, Capernaum, do you think you will be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades. For if in Sodom there had been done the mighty deeds that were done in you, it would still have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
24 Eka! itaroñako te haivañe an-tane Sodoma ta te ho ama’o i andron-jakay.
But I say to you that it shall be easier for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for 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 said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you concealed these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children.
26 Eka Aba, toe nivantañe añatrefa’o izay.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
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 have been entrusted to me from my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses 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 who labor and are heavy burdened, 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 my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 amy te mora ty jokako, vaho maivañe o kilànkakoo.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
