Matthew 11
1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jesu sì ti parí ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ń sọ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ méjìlá, ó ti ibẹ̀ rékọjá láti máa kọ́ni àti láti máa wàásù ní àwọn ìlú Galili gbogbo.
And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Nígbà tí Johanu gbọ́ ohun tí Kristi ṣe nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, ó rán àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣe ìwọ ni ẹni tó ń bọ̀ wá tàbí kí a máa retí ẹlòmíràn?”
And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesu dáhùn ó wí pé, “Ẹ padà lọ, ẹ sì sọ fún Johanu ohun tí ẹ̀yin gbọ́, àti èyí tí ẹ̀yin rí.
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:
5 Àwọn afọ́jú ń ríran, àwọn amúnkùn ún rìn, a ń wẹ àwọn adẹ́tẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀tẹ̀ wọn, àwọn adití ń gbọ́rọ̀, a ń jí àwọn òkú dìde, a sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere fún àwọn òtòṣì.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Alábùkún fún ni ẹni tí kò rí ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ nípa mi.”
And blessed is [he] to whom I shall not be the cause of his falling into sin.
7 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu ti lọ tán, Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn nípa ti Johanu: “Kí ni ẹ̀yin jáde lọ wò ní aginjù? Ewéko tí afẹ́fẹ́ ń mi?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
8 Bí kò bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, kí ni ẹ̀yin lọ òde lọ í wò? Ọkùnrin tí a wọ̀ ni aṣọ dáradára? Rárá àwọn ti ó wọ aṣọ dáradára wà ní ààfin ọba.
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
9 Àní kí ní ẹ jáde láti lọ wò? Wòlíì? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo wí fún yín, ó sì ju wòlíì lọ.”
But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Èyí ni ẹni tí a ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ pé: “‘Èmi yóò rán ìránṣẹ́ mi síwájú rẹ, ẹni tí yóò tún ọ̀nà rẹ ṣe níwájú rẹ.’
For this is [he] concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Lóòótọ́ ni mó wí fún yín, nínú àwọn tí a bí nínú obìnrin, kò sí ẹni tí ó tí í dìde tí ó ga ju Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi lọ, síbẹ̀ ẹni tí ó kéré jù ní ìjọba ọ̀run ni ó pọ̀jù ú lọ.
Verily, I say to you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
12 Láti ìgbà ọjọ́ Johanu onítẹ̀bọmi títí di àkókò yìí ni ìjọba ọ̀run ti di à fi agbára wọ̀, àwọn alágbára ló ń fi ipá gbà á.
And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Nítorí náà gbogbo òfin àti wòlíì ni ó sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí Johanu kí ó tó dé.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Bí ẹ̀yin yóò bá gbà á, èyí ni Elijah tó ń bọ̀ wá.
And if ye will receive [it], this is Elijah who was to come.
15 Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí, kí ó gbọ́.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Kí ni èmi ìbá fi ìran yìí wé? Ó dàbí àwọn ọmọ kékeré tí ń jókòó ní ọjà tí wọ́n sì ń ké pe àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ wọn:
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
17 “‘Àwa ń fun fèrè fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò jó; àwa kọrin ọ̀fọ̀ ẹ̀yin kò káàánú.’
And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.
18 Nítorí Johanu wá kò bá a yín jẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò mu, ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, ‘Ó ní ẹ̀mí èṣù.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
19 Ọmọ Ènìyàn wá bá a yín jẹun, ó sì bá yin mu, wọ́n wí pé, ‘Ọ̀jẹun àti ọ̀mùtí; ọ̀rẹ́ àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.’ Ṣùgbọ́n a dá ọgbọ́n láre nípa ìṣe rẹ̀.”
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
20 Nígbà náà ni Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í bá ìlú tí ó ti ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ wí, nítorí wọn kò ronúpìwàdà.
Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not.
21 Ó wí pé, “Ègbé ni fún ìwọ Korasini, ègbé ni fún ìwọ Betisaida! Ìbá ṣe pé a ti ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí a ṣe nínú yín ní a ṣe ni Tire àti Sidoni, àwọn ènìyàn wọn ìbá ti ronúpìwàdà ti pẹ́ nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú.
Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín, yóò sàn fún Tire àti Sidoni ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ jù fún yín.
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Àti ìwọ Kapernaumu, a ó ha gbé ọ ga sókè ọ̀run? Rárá, a ó rẹ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ sí ipò òkú. Nítorí, ìbá ṣe pé a ti ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí a ṣe nínú rẹ ní Sodomu, òun ìbá wà títí di òní. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Lóòótọ́ yóò sàn fún ilẹ̀ Sodomu ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ jù fún ìwọ lọ.”
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí pé, “Mo yìn ọ Baba, Olúwa ọ̀run àti ayé, nítorí ìwọ ti fi òtítọ́ yìí pamọ́ fún àwọn tó jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n àti amòye, Ìwọ sì ti fi wọ́n hàn fún àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
26 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Baba, nítorí ó wù ọ́ láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 “Ohun gbogbo ni Baba mi ti fi sí ìkáwọ́ mi. Kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ ọmọ bí kò ṣe Baba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó mọ Baba, bí kò ṣe ọmọ, àti àwọn tí ọmọ yan láti fi ara hàn fún.
All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].
28 “Ẹ wá sọ́dọ̀ mi gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ tí a sì di ẹrù wíwúwo lé lórí, èmi yóò sì fún yín ní ìsinmi.
Come to me, all [ye] that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Ẹ gbé àjàgà mi wọ̀. Ẹ kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ lọ́dọ̀ mi nítorí onínútútù àti onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ọkàn ni èmi, ẹ̀yin yóò sì ri ìsinmi fún ọkàn yín.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me: for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.
30 Nítorí àjàgà mi rọrùn ẹrù mi sì fúyẹ́.”
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
