Matthew 11 (BGG)

1Isu è awai samoythek snanyi shii jithek yua ched mage shii, ai ji pha ithua thoh ne thiichiih inui pha thawun shii yua ne yao pha wuii dun.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Jon khowo pha phatheg hà Isu è rek ramuii pha jithek yoi mage shii, ai è gai samoythek aishii thoh ge,Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3“Gathek shii yao bo, ithek è Isu shii sai, na ne Jon è yao pha jia wuii ruii phro è yao marui pha ji bey? Din ne gathek ne gai wuii ruii pha ji shii khan habey?”to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Isu è chang, “Idoh dun srane nathek è nyie yoi nyie doh pha ji Jon shii yao phi bo:Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5Miegthi de mieg doh mua ro; laikhi-èg de lua mua ro; hanyie thek hìa miiriiethek è diig rek ne radpho shii de sang rab ge ro; khohphang de yoi dun ro, chiih-è iypho de chai hà yi din phiro; chiih-è, Mua wie ne dusho pho shii de yua dun ro.The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

6Hanyie è gu shii izai now pho ne khama sang pha um phro!”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Jon ro samoythek è thoh ne dun dun shii, Isu è ibrog shii ai chiang yao: “Nathek è balimuang hà Jon shii wuii dun shii, nathek nyie riig pha luthong phlei?” Hasam shii saing irab mia pha ji riig wuii ne bey?As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

8Nathek ne nyie riig pha wuii dun phlei? Bran yi yungthek ichia guii pha ji riig wuii ne bey? Bran hanyie ne ji duiine guii pho ne boh hòthek hà rai phro!Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.

9Gu shii yao riig bo, nathek nyie riig pha wuii dun phlei? Chaig shii bey? Ji ne izai ro, Jishii nathek è chaig è de boh shii doh marui.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Jon ne jigigam shii yao marui pha jia ji ro; Hamangkhung-aphuii è yao: “Gune gui muapho nathek ibi hà thoh srane nathek lumuii rab iang yi;This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11gu nathek shii yao Jon ne hanyie è idang sieng ne rai pho è de boh ba ro. Jishii hanyie yi hamangkhung pha Sajathua shii ìujia um nede ai ne Jon è boh ba ro.Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12Jon è awai mua yua pha ishak è yie dang ne sudoh thog dang pha hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne bajo diig è mak jo muii ro. Chiih-è bangchiie pha bran è zum pha bidiang mua ro.”From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

13Jon pha ishak è chiih-è zab pha chaigthek nane Iphey yua pha masdo è yie dang ne Sajathua chiang shii yaojong ro;For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Jishii, nathek è ithek mua ji yoi yang arone, Jon ne Elija ro, hanyie wuii ruii pha ji shii ne chaigjong ro.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Nathek shii khohthek um arone, chiihphado, yoi mage bo!He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Thuh, gu ne duchung pha branthek shii khi-èrek ò pha lei?” Ithek ne aniphiing duiine bajarai hà dug ne rai muii ro. Ibrog jia è gai shii ziak,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17<Gathek è phiyiy thiibiing boi shii, nathek è asiu phi! Gathek è phiyiy ibai bai habuii shii, jimagunde nathek è achoh phi ro!>‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Jon wuii thog shii, ai è minyie nyie ne phuii de aniing, chiih-è zab yao, aishii ne ibuii um ro,For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Jishii, Bran dufuii wuii thog shii ai ne chie ne niing, chiih-è yao, hì pha bran shii Riig mage bo! Ai ne sgow ne niingpho ro, mijin thanphothek nane iriing ìu pho thek pha ijak ro! “Hamangkhung-aphuii khani ne blia è izai chak rone doh yi.”The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

20Isu è thawunthek pha branthek shii awairo bajo buangthek rek phi shii ithek ne awaithek layog è akhid phi ne, jiè Isu è ji pha thawunpho shii giung:Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21Chorijin! Nathek shii khama diig ro, nathek khama diig ro, Bethsaida! Buangthek yi nathek shii rek phi pha ji ne Thaire nane Sidon shii rek phi arone, branthek ne khuchung è de awaithek layogthek è thadoh khidjong rone doh yi pha thiilo guii ne siphie shun ne raijong ro!“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22Gu nathek shii yao chua pha inai shii Hamangkhung-aphuii è bushun yi nathek è muna ne Thaire nane Sidon shii doh yi phro.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Chiih-è nathek shii, Khaphernaum! Nathek ne nawaithek shii hamangkhung hà chiing pha yang muii bey? Nathek shii ne buzam Thumluii hà fen ruii phro! Buangthek ne Sodom hà rek phi arone, sudoh thog pha idang now ne rai dun iwa!And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24Nathek è ìd mua chua pha inai shii ne Hamangkhung-aphuii è ithek shii ne “Sodom pho shii muna bushun rek ruii phro!”But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Jipha ishak shii Isu è yao, “Aphuii, hamangkhung nane sohnyiak pha Ithong! Gu Nashii laso phi, nyieliieshii na è khua pho è ug ne ruii pha ji a-ìd pho shii doh yi.At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

26Ji chak, Aphuii! Hì ne na è yang pha ji rey yi ro.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27“Gu Aphuii è gu shii zab manathek phi jong ro. Hanyie è dufuii shii athieg ro, Aphuii jijia è thieg bie ro, chiih-è hanyie de Aphuii shii athieg ro, dufuii ne thieg hanyie è dong yi pha gua ne ruii pha ji è thieg bie ro.All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

28“Gu shii wuii bo, hanyie zab yi miihanthek ley han ne jid dun pho, nane gu shii wuii mage bo! Gu è nathek shii thung phi ruii phro.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Guro jakhokh ji yi ne nawai lakhung shii ruii bo chiih-è gu è nui bo, nyieliieshii gu ragung shii neb nane jum; chiih-è nathek de thung pha mua ruii phro.Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30Gu è nathek shii phi ruii pha jakhokh ne wie bie ro, gu miihan phi pha ji ne thoh bie ro.”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
